jail. jail for everyone in this comment section.

[kalsa]

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 😂

[DReivenn]

"Put on your cleets and come and trample me" brings an entirely new level to the phrase "step on me"

[averongodoffire]

These two characters can’t exist near each other without an unbearably painful lust that takes up the entire room😂🤣🤣They are just in dumbfounded awe of one another

[camerakitty]

keep in mind that Morticia is the dom.

Edit: Okay I get that they switch, you can stop commenting that

[desperado.stories]

*pov: your dancing with your sadistic enemy.*

[chloebreez]

Omg this is so good!! you absolutely killed it!! This reminds me of "The Dismemberment Song" You would slay that one too!!

[shotgunlo]

I was just writing a post about Tom Lehrer (it's his birthday on April 9, he's still around and turning 93!) and saw this; your cover is fabulous!

[agenttheater]

Doesn't matter what anyone does with any movie, tv or stage adaptation of The Addams Family so long people can imagine that portrayal of Morticia and Gomez to this song.

[JustinesMic]

y’all i don’t even like this cover that much why does this have so many views 💀💀

[HazzronIV]

Those two will always be one of my favorite fiction couples. They got a love that few can or would ever really understand but that don't bother them none because they got each other, the life they've built together and that's all they need.

[HolyPastrami]

Morticia and Gomez dancing to the Masochism Tango has to happen in Wednesday at some point.

"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

[bea.mura]

IT MATCHES THE ADDAMS SO MUCH, THANK YOU!!! THIS IS JUST... PERFECT
I didn't know I nedded it until I found it

[otakucon]

Pov:you finally found the stalker/yandere who had been terrorizing you. You keep lunging with a knife but she thinks your dancing, not fighting to the death

[Wolfsbaene]

Anyone who covers this song gets automatic applause from me, but this was a wicked delight to my ears!

[shadowldrago]

Now here's a song I never expected to see a cover of.

[solomonskey-animation]

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.

[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?

[darabounds]

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.
