That music makes me remember the scene where she is having a baby and Gomez is like "ARE YOU IN UNBEARABLE PAIN?!" and she is like.... "Yes" I forgot about that scene 😂

You have a beautiful voice. It's an excellent song, and a great cover. That aside, the video card is attention grabbing for anyone who adores Gomez and Morticia.

[@goldenhorse4823]

@@avrie6668 Yeah. I just kinda forgot for a second there. It is weird kinda since I think I imagined it that way because in the past it was almost always a female masochist and a male sadist so them being reverse would be them being different and opposite of "normal" but legit nowadays it would be the reverse. This is getting confusing.

"The Masochism Tango" by Tom Lehrer / Lyrics I ache for the touch of your lips, dear But much more for the touch of your whips, dear You can raise welts Like nobody else As we dance to the Masochism Tango Let our love be a flame, not an ember Say it's me that you want to dismember Blacken my eye Set fire to my tie As we dance to the Masochism Tango At your command Before you here I stand My heart is in my hand It's here that I must be My heart entreats Just hear those savage beats And go put on your cleats And come and trample me Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany That's why I'm in such exquisite agony My soul is on fire It's aflame with desire Which is why I perspire when we tango 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 Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches The last time I needed twenty stitches To sew up the gash That you made with your lash As we danced to the Masochism Tango Bash in my brain And make me scream with pain Then kick me once again And say we'll never part I know too well I'm underneath your spell So, darling, if you smell Something burning, it's my heart Take your cigarette from its holder And burn your initials in my shoulder Fracture my spine And swear that you're mine As we dance to the Maso-chism Tango

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear But much more for the touch of your whips, dear You can raise welts Like nobody else As we dance to the Masochism Tango Let our love be a flame, not an ember Say it's me that you want to dismember Blacken my eye Set fire to my tie As we dance to the Masochism Tango At your command Before you here I stand My heart is in my hand (Yeechh!) It's here that I must be My heart entreats Just hear those savage beats And go put on your cleats And come and trample me Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany That's why I'm in such exquisite agony My soul is on fire It's aflame with desire Which is why I perspire when we tango 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 Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches The last time I needed twenty stitches To sew up the gash That you made with your lash As we danced to the Masochism Tango Bash in my brain And make me scream with pain Then kick me once again And say we'll never part I know too well I'm underneath your spell So, darling, if you smell Something burning, it's my heart 'Scuse me!

[@darabounds6671]

Brilliant cover, the only thing that could possibly make it more fitting for the image would be to have the vocals switch between yours and a male voice, as if Gomez and morticia were switching who was the dom and sub.

[@RD_Gravehill]

I absolutely love your voice!! Even if it's meant to be an April Fools joke it's still done so well 👀👀 Would it be alright if I use your cover of this song for a future animatic?

[@JustinesMic]

thank you so much! and while i don’t particularly like my vocal performance in this cover, you’re welcome to use it in your animatic! all i ask is that you credit me in both the animatic and the description, and that you leave a link to this video and my channel in the description as well. 💕

So I'm the type to plan out her wedding despite being single, and I thought to myself, assuming I marry someone with the same sense of humor as me, it'd be amazing/hilarious if I and my future wife did this for our first dance.

[@jamaelwilliams8677]

Justine's mic Thank you for another fabulous song have a spectacular Thursday🙏💖

[@AnaxErik4ever]

I learned to sing to Tom Lehrer's original performance of this song, with Daria Cohen doing doodles of her "animated children" Duke and Missi for a V-day videot in 2021. But I love the sultry cover you did; I always see Gomez as the focus Addams Family AMVs with this song, and I know that contrary to most relationships in the 60s and 70s when Charles Addams created them, Morticia wears the metaphorical and literal pants of their marriage. I think it's a shame that more women don't sing song as it is Horatian satire of tango dance stories, and intense ballroom dancing in general. I love intelligent satire and syncopated songs like this.

[@veradyssx5465]

it is CRIMINAL that this isnt on your spotify 😰
