Ok so NOW I know why you showed up on my feed. My hubby made me listen to this song because it reminds him of the power couple Gomez and Morticia Addams.
I got confused by the "But you're an Italian American and the Family taight you more than one way to use a G-String." and then she holds it like a garrote and suddenly I understand everything.
"My heart is in my hand! ECHHH! It's here that I must be. My heart entreats! Just hear those Spanish beats So go put on your cleats and trample over me!" Breaks me up every time!
imagine my surprise, at age ~15, trying to find more music from the guy who made the elements song I just memorized for extra credit in science class, and discovering this absolute masterpiece.
@@MasterAdamonia Off the top of my head, "Pollution." We have cleaned up our air and water pretty well since then. Not saying it's perfect; but a lot better than when the song was written.
My mum introduced me and my brother to Lehrer's music when we were teens. She loved putting his album on when she was driving us (and often our friends) somewhere. Our car singalongs were weird 😅
Funny to think that Mr. Lehrer performed & wrote most of his stuff back in the mid-1950's into the 1960's & 70's. Brilliant Singer , Song Writer and also Mathematician. :-D
🎵 Doc-tor De-ment-oo,Doc-tor De- ment-oo🎶🙃 Bet a lot of folks don't realize that a few of those old radio show songs were actually scary, not funny. Barnes & Barnes "Fish Heads" is a beloved avant-garde classic,but their other song , "Somethings In The Bag" was disturbing for that era. So was Bloodrock's "D.O.A." We were also fortunate to get Tulsa's local wildly experimental comedy skit and sci fi / horror commentary tv show hosted by Gaillard Sartain and Bill Miliway with guest stars like skinny long haired young Gary Busey. "Mazzeppa Popazoidy's Uncanny Film Festival And Camp Meeting" was snarky sarcastic fun long before SNL or MST 3000 were ever created. They showed movies later and scarier than anyone else .
Tom Lehrer is nothing if not original… but the beginning of this song reminds me of a slightly later gem: Martin Mull’s Humming Song. I first saw it on TV in the 70s and was so mesmerized that one hearing burned many of the lyrics into my brain (well, there aren’t really _that_ many lyrics - kind of the point). It took years to find this hysterical treasure again - thank heavens for YT, with Mull and Lehrer on demand. 😊
When i first heard this song i was like "catchy but ehhh" now after listening a couple times im luke "i cant get it out my head and i need yo learn this dance because i love this niw"😂❤
Tom Lehrer had a way with words and reality in love songs. I like your violin playing, not so convinced with your piano... but still I like your acting and reactions to the songs. Enjoying your shorts... err.. videos.
I played viola in university. Once, during a music department-wide meeting, just when the room got quiet, my viola instructor loudly said "Oh, and I left your g-string on Ann's desk." For those who don't know, there are four strings on a viola, and they are named "The A String," "The D String," "The G String," and "The C String." violins and cellos have the same naming convention, except the violin doesn't have a c string, but they have an e string above the a string.
i sang this at top volume(bc i memorized it for some reason) and my mom came in my room but i didnt know bc she wwas ment to be visiting the neighbors and so im standing there with headphones screaming this as shes just standing there watching me

Tom is still alive too. He was/is a genius.
HE DIDN'T DIE?????
@@zackbuildit88 Nope last I checked. He's still alive.
@@shmulyzuriel8717 dang
He's 95 years old
I know you posted this a month ago, was this a plant for April Fools? I remember the day Tom Lerhner died.
Just a typical Tuesday for Gomez and Morticia Addams.
literally😂
Unofficial Gomez Addams personal theme music
Gomez would absolutely offer to give morticia his still beating heart 😂
Ok so NOW I know why you showed up on my feed. My hubby made me listen to this song because it reminds him of the power couple Gomez and Morticia Addams.
Perfect 😂
I got confused by the "But you're an Italian American and the Family taight you more than one way to use a G-String." and then she holds it like a garrote and suddenly I understand everything.
(answering a deleted comment) garrote is a piece of wire you use to choke someone out
Same 😹
The problem is he might enjoy that a bit too much
@@orastellathefirst are we sure that's a "problem" in this scenario? 😅
@@ScrotumCat
I believe that's called a "happy ending"...
... at least in _this_ particular case.
:)
A reminder that Tom also worked for the NSA and worked at MIT, Harvard, Wellesley and the University of California teaching mathematics.
Not only that, his work for the NSA is still classified to this day
Adds another layer to his song about New Math.
Not to mention that he invented the Jello Shot to get around a ban on alcohol where he was stationed. And started at Harvard at 15
sounds like a masochist
"My heart is in my hand! ECHHH! It's here that I must be.
My heart entreats! Just hear those Spanish beats
So go put on your cleats and trample over me!"
Breaks me up every time!

It's how I found it as well! Did you get that extra credit? 😂
Have you heard about what he does to pigeons?? 😂
First song I heard by him was New Math, had me absolutely cackling
Until today finding this channel I only knew this song and thought it was a modern song replicating how older songs sounded
I was introduced with National Brotherhood Week
Discovered Tom Lehrer back in the 70s on the Doctor Demento Show. His songs are just as great now...even if some of them are a bit dated.
not as dated as they used to be anymore 🥲
I know someone who did a comedy bit and called themselves doctor ravemento
I think this one is pretty timeless.
Which ones do you consider dated?
@@MasterAdamonia Off the top of my head, "Pollution." We have cleaned up our air and water pretty well since then. Not saying it's perfect; but a lot better than when the song was written.
Honey no- he'll be in to that-
Exactly 😎
His love songs always bring a tear to my eye, how deeply… concerning
Found this man through Poisoning The Pidgeons in the Park. Hilarious yet dark song, lol
Honestly the best love song I’ve ever heard. Kinksters are the most fun people
“Fracture my spine and swear that you’re mine.”
Why are so many lyrics from this song so damn romantic
Fr
This is my mom's favorite Tom Leher song for me to sing...that probably says something about my parents that I'm not going to think to deeply into.
Maybe they just have a... Good sense of humor. One to Die for 😏
Was your mother Mortisha? 🤣
@hannahleigh6152 no, but I have often told my parents they're like a soccer parents version of Gomez & Mortisha?
This is one of my dad's favorite songs, possibly his favorite. Then there's how he reacted to Mom taking up martial arts...
Don’t think into it❤
This sounds like Morticia And Gomez Addams love song to Me...😅😅 Quite catchy.....🎉
“You caught my nose, in your left castanet love, I can feel the pain yet love, every time I hear drums.”
“And I envy the rose that you held in your teeth, Love. With the thorns underneath, Love, sticking into your gums.”
Didnt expect that ending, props to you
I haven’t heard any Tom Lehrer for decades!!
That took a drastically terrible turn from some whip play to outright murder and bodily destruction
This song was actually my introduction to Tom Lehrer :3
I've seen a bunch of comments about this song, it's not as bad as I was imagining 😅
I can almost see Gomez and Morticia dancing to this.
Almost? This is like the closest thing you can get to a lyrical theme song for them, lmao
Somehow I heard this song before I found your channel.
I swear this song has me in a chokehold. It's too catchy for me to escape it 😭
Wednesday and Enid dancing to this
I’m gonna go write that one sec-
this is actually my Go-to at Karaoke lol. always a fav.
I genuinely love this song so much. It has Bo Burnham energy but like a different flavor of it. It's so good
My mum introduced me and my brother to Lehrer's music when we were teens. She loved putting his album on when she was driving us (and often our friends) somewhere. Our car singalongs were weird 😅
Dont choke him he'll like it😂
Donna Reed smashing the record is a mood💫💥

Tom Lehrer is brilliant! ❣
As soon as this one started I got excited. I love this one
they used to play this on the Dr. Demento show in the early 80's.

AS WE DANCE TO THE MASOCHISM TANGO
Tom knew what was up. He's a living legend
OMG THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS I NEVER KNEW IT WAS BY HIM!!
OMG IRRELEVANT BUT NIGHTCORD MIKU PFP!!
@@SammyWammyDoosie YESSSS FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHATS UPPP!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 This is genious. I wondered how many of the musicians either were struggling to not laugh or blanch ❤
Love Tom Lehrer! Always a pleasure to see his music still getting the love it deserves.
The Alastor version hits different though ✋🏼😭
Ok the lyrics are *questionable* but it’s still a really good song for no reason 😭
The other songs aren't anything like this so tbh I feel like he's projecting here
Amazing ending xDD. Taking no nonsense.
I love this song. I immediately recognized it from the beginning. Chef’s kiss.
His response to 2Chainz in regards to "The Old Dope Peddler" is a classic.
This is actually one of my favorite songs i love it so much that i know it word for word
I love masochism tango!:D glad is finally getting some recognition
The masochism tango is AWESOME.
Also the serial killer one. The hand being cut off his loves dead body
Not me getting TnT duo flashbacks 💀
I was waiting for you to do the Masochism Tango! Did not disappoint.
I heard this many decades ago and I STILL love it just as much today! #NYMISTRESSOver30Yrs
Omfg he's amazing and his songs are amazing and he has all my respect

Dr. Demento introduced me to this gem.
I love this song so much its everything i live for lol (it resonates with me far too well) i definitely dont know all the words lmao love all of this
This song is on my playlist, i know all the words. Its funny as hell
Don't know what I was expecting but this is perfectly done 😂
"I ache for the touch of your lips, dear."
"Let our love be a flame, not an amber,"
He certainly had her way with words
@-oppai_sama
I mean, hey
There is nothing wrong with some lovingly inflicted pain.😅
Tom gets it
This song never gets old😌❤️
When i first heard this song i was like "catchy but ehhh" now after listening a couple times im luke "i cant get it out my head and i need yo learn this dance because i love this niw"😂❤

I can recognise this song without even a second playing
My husband started singing along!
Tom Lehrer is a genius, and so is this skit.
She finally does a song I know
Knew I'd run into this one eventually. 😂😂❤❤
This song is legitimately one of my favorites from him- glad to see it represented!!!
This just put to mind morticia and gomez in tango rose in mouth and that song fits 😊
I love masochism tango its an awesome song
God what a beautiful dress!!🏆⭐⚡✨👑
My friend introduced me and my mother to this song in the car..... needless to say my mom loved it she requests it frequently 😅
Sounds like a good song for a fancy supervillain.
I kept her heart , for it was mine .....❤
We all love Mommy Domi!

Love this#Did everyone there understand? Or did some freak out?
This should be sung as a serenade by Gomez Adams to Morticia.
I called this up while in a Burger King, and omg did I quickly turn the volume low!
Dude, I got so excited when i scrolled onto this I jumped out of my chair and nearly started crying- what the fuck?? 😭
Unironically enjoy this song
This is one of my favourite songs 😅
I love this song 💯✨
NO CUS I LOVE THIS SONG SM 😭
I love this song...so much...
Tom is such a legend
This is one of my fav songs 😭😭
i sang this at top volume(bc i memorized it for some reason) and my mom came in my room but i didnt know bc she wwas ment to be visiting the neighbors and so im standing there with headphones screaming this as shes just standing there watching me
It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize the cuts in the song. It just sounded *wrong* and I couldn't tell what lmao
I love this song so much 😂
Tbh my favorite song of his 😂
I LOVE THIS MUSIC
I love this song so much :DDDD
Oh it's HIM we have to thank for this song I actually love it
Betsy(?) is apparently fingering the correct notes on that violin.
Betsy plays a mean fiddle
She's about to re educt a writer😂😂
Tom Lehrer is a comedic genius. Well, he's a genius in several regards.
Me when I hear the spell bit: WITCH!
