The 12-inch extended version of 'Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go' is the definitive version. That sweet, sweet transition into "Where Did Our Love Go' is the smoothest transition going. Hearing Tainted Love without the second half leaves me unfulfilled and disappointed.

TBF this version is definitive because it's the one which everyone knows & got all the airplay. With that said, I would agree the 12 is the much better version. All of those old Soft Cell 12 inch singles are fantastic. Torch, Bedsitter, Say Hello Wave Goodbye... all stone classics IMHO.

Agree, just might be the smoothest transition. I watched this reaction livestream and people were trying to get them to do the definitive version. They picked a lyric video, and when I heard the fade out, I instantly felt that unfulfillment that you had mentioned.

This. I am so used to the extended version with "Where Did Our Love Go" that I felt the song was totally incomplete as I heard it fade out in this video. Tainted Love is a good song on its own, but it goes so damn well with the transition and breathy vocals in WDOLG, that I think they should always be played together, to get the full effect. I think Imma go listen to it now, just to get it out of my head.

Right On! It helped epitomize Northern Soul from Philly. It fell between the cracks in The US but in The UK it had a cult following. Kids from Low Income Housing Projects aka Council Houses would dance to Northern Soul on The Weekends. Rihanna sampled the Melody for "SOS". It also holds the distinction of being in Billboard's Hot 100 longer than any other Song in Pop.

Gloria Jones originally made this in 1964. She later played keyboards in T-Rex. Marc Bolan's band. She are the mother of his son Rolan Bolan. David Bowie and Marc Bolan joked about naming their sons Zowie and Rolan. Only Bolan did it. Bowie's son are Duncan Jones after Bowie's real name. David Robert Jones. She was driving the car when Bolan was killed. She was later charged with being unfit to drive. She left UK with her son before the Court Date. So they ruled it accidental death. She is 76. Soft Cell, Marilyn Manson and Danish singer/actor Nikolaj Steen are just some of the musicians that did a cover of the song.

You should check out the Marilyn Manson cover. It was done for the “Not Another Teen Movie” parody you were talking about in another video. It has a couple of a-list metal cameos including Joey Jordison (RIP), as well as actresses Jaime Presley & Chyler Leigh, plus it is just a fun video. The cadence with which he sings in this one is very common in burlesque shows.

Back in the 90s, I was working in an office building where you exited from the upper floors down an escalator into a massive entrance hall. I began to notice that every night when I'd left, as I walked down to the station to catch my train, I would find myself singing this particular song, and I had no idea why! But still every night whatever had been on my mind earlier in the day, was overcome by my urge to sing this song. After a couple of weeks of this, I realised what it was: in the foyer of my workplace there were various vending machines, and a couple of ATMs, one of which made exactly the same electronic bleeps as the ones in this song. I would subconsciously pick that up as I travelled down the escalator, and within a couple of minutes of leaving, it would 'take over by brain' EVERY NIGHT, even after I'd worked out the cause.

One of the biggest hits of the 80's and one of the few tracks that the boys would get up and dance to with the girls. I was out to dinner this July and got chatting to a couple sitting next to us. He mentioned that he was in the music business and I asked him in what capacity, assuming he was a producer or something. He said, I play keyboards in a band and I assumed it was probably a tribute band or similar as he was in his late 50's. I asked him what sort of music the band played and he said the band is called Soft Cell, have you heard of it? I almost fell off the chair as it was the David Ball the "other one" in the duo. We had a great chat about Tainted Love, modern music and food........... he really likes his fine dining and was telling us all about these places we should go to eat. A great afternoon and good to meet him and his wife who were both lovely.

Ace reaction. I first heard this version of Tainted Love when I was 11. Two things happened. 1. From hearing this song for the first time ; I knew I was different. 2. Marc Almond & Dave Ball are genius. They just celebrated the 40th Anniversary of their debut album., Non stop erotic caberet. Which tainted love is taken. It was a massive world wide hit. Interestingly enough; everybody who has covered the sing since then; covers the Soft Cell version! That's not to take anything away from the Gloria Jones version ; which is classic northern soul. But Soft Cell's version is an iconic LGBTQ+ Anthem right up there with Gloria Gaynor's I will Survive ; Sylvester's I feel [mighty real] & Donna Summer's I Feel Love. P.s. Marc is Gay. Though whilst he often sings from a gender neutral perspective. Tainted Love is a bone fide Queer Anthem Honey 🖤♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍

If you were around when this song got a lot of radio play, it's virtually a guarantee you would know every word and every beat. Forty years after its release, I'd be willing to bet that huge number of us could stand in a karaoke bar and sing it without even looking at the lyrics! You guys really should check out some more Tom Petty music. He was talented both as a lyricist (which Brad would like) and a musician, and the Heartbreakers were just a really tight band.

The original version is a soul song from 1964 by a woman named Gloria Jones. It was a hit in dance clubs in England, but she didn't know about it until the 1970s. She ended up moving to England in the '70s and having a child with Marc Bolan of T. Rex.

Music was from Gay Night Club scene , which produced a lot of great music , maybe try Frankie Goes to Hollywood “ Relax” this was a club stormer , the video with Lemmy Kilminster from Motörhead was some of the best footage . I think you’ll really enjoy that one ,turn it up loud

An 80s classic. If you liked this you should also check out 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye. and 'Torch'. I also highly recommend Visage's 'Fade to Grey' which was a fantastic one hit wonder.
