Soft Cell - Frustration

[fuckamericanidiot]

good video

[shiral5471]

The Saxophone says it all

[anastasia012]

AHHH. Fantastic... What has happened to the world? When did we all get so bloody CONSERVATIVE?!!!!!

[arsenicSynthpop]

so many can relate to this, great work by one of the best bands in history :D

[CiCiSariego]

I'm an ordinary bloke.

The original Mutant Moments version is better! I like this one too, though...

[eikel69]

I want to be a lion tamer :)

[MentalSelfMutilation]

It was repetitive in lyrics and beat, and lacked imagery, and much of an original subject.

[willybartlett]

is he a little devil?

[TrixieStardust]

I am so ordinary. Listen to this anytime I have to mow the lawn.

[Alma889900]

He's really nice. great vid!! click click added to Favourites!

[PinkThinkingCat]

My best mate ended up just like the man in this video lol.

[frack136]

@PinkThinkingCat Oh year, a mate, right. :)

[PinkThinkingCat]

Fuck my parents hated my Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, espeially more so as they got me it for Chrismas 1981, it was great being an outcast.

[currypot1965]

bet these guys are both single

[PinkThinkingCat]

@currypot1965 So what`s your point?

[currypot1965]

@PinkThinkingCat Was just thinking aloud!!

Actually,they made some great songs,my nephew met Marc,said he was a lovely fella.

[PinkThinkingCat]

@currypot1965 Oh right, did wonder there.

[currypot1965]

@PinkThinkingCat Sorry,probably too much beer n smoke.

[PinkThinkingCat]

@currypot1965 Oh I know that feeling lol, chill d:+)

[currypot1965]

@PinkThinkingCat I'm at that point again!!

[PinkThinkingCat]

@currypot1965 Must be Saturday nite thing!

[eloisesucks14]

♥♥♥ soft cell are amazing... :) 

[spacelau]

Un de leur meilleur titre !!!!

[connorpolo]

Brilliant begginning

[connorpolo]

Beilliant begginning

[iLikeSoup01]

utterly spectacular

[chrisgmudd]

I dont care if hes gay or not -I love soft cell!@

[6dark6wings6]

I agree I love soft cell and Queen and Judas Priest and all three of those bands have gay singers but I don't care about such little matters like that, I just Love Music and their Music, Lyrics and Voices, ect. This is a cool song by Soft Cell but my favourite is Say Hello Wave Goodbye and Insecure Me!!! Marc Almond's voice is awesome!!!

[CharlieFly2010]

Even I used to fancie Marc and im a girl who cares if he gay he is still normal so them stupid comments are just.

[misskawaiikiki]

Who gives a shit if someone is gay or not? So called "gender bending" stuff is fun and sort of (at this point) shocking. This music was way ahead of its' time, it makes me horny, and most of the guys who are constantly ripping people for being individualistic and experimental sexually are either a) not getting any or b) just retarded......and by the way, I am an incredibly hot (and humble) straight girl who love guys.....gay, bi, or straight. :)

[ankaiskra]

WTF ist this shit?????????

[Jarrado55]

@ankaiskra It's called good music, retard

[jhnbalance]

marc always causes a commotion . long before madonna did !

[Geprodis]

Soft Cell was a one-hit wonder.....ya think?

[connorpolo]

I dont care if he is gay he does brilliant songs

[connorpolo]

I thought mark was bisexual and this beat is so addicting

[geronimo17220]

super, j'adore...

Des sous-entendus toujours d'actualité plusieurs années après, vraiment un grand artiste Almond

[queen7x7]

No bad words against marc, please!

[DancingSpiderman]

AGAIN... another sissy song with vid by Soft Cell...

[jhnbalance]

@DancingSpiderman carly simon is for sissies . not a real man not even a gay would listen to her but boys brought up with spidermen and all the rest fucks that marc hates so much

[DancingSpiderman]

@jhnbalance OK, have it your way

to each their own...

[DancingSpiderman]

@DancingSpiderman I think you are harboring homo-boy tendencies, but at least I could tolerate you without wanting to beat the shit out of you, I would just let you be...

You prolly self-cut, I bet you are emo on a badd day, if so, there is help for you...

[jhnbalance]

@DancingSpiderman i dont need any indications . i prefer to watch the vid. if yo u dont like soft cell vids dont watch them . if you do it means you like them .

[jhnbalance]

@jhnbalance i was damn right you do like spiderman and you were brought up with silly comics . my dog . it means there is a monster in tyour brain and you are something like a robot .

[ArmsDealer06]

Concerning the 1980s...If you weren't there, you won't get it. Period. It was a time unlike any other. And whatever it is you think you know about the 80s, you don't know jack shit. Somebody had to break it to you. Now get on with your bad self...

[fjordur]

@ArmsDealer06 that sounds interesting, try to make the 80s more approachable to me, i know it has been an extraordinary decade so far... but i wish i could dive into that unique feeling just for one day...

[MrEarthdance]

I AM KING <<<<WHAT U GONNA DO?

[MrEarthdance]

large

[Jiveturkey68]

So tired of love stories, HA gotta love soft cell!

[marysv2009]

I am this song; but the video is a litttttle over the top, yet not too bad.

[marysv2009]

I like the song; I like it.

[isitrealgood]

This makes me think of a Cure song. Couldn't you see Robert S. singing this song. with a big smile on his face?

[cholocharile]

A mortgage of my very own

[henrylordskowalski]

i love marc almond on the lawn !

[swanceva]

@henrylordskowalski I would love him in other places too if I had the chance XD

[gymrachel]

Non Stop Erotic Caberet my first serious boyfriend and me had alot of naughty fun through this album!

[cxpage]

Was that you? How have you been? :)

[cumadundalk]

the 808 cowbell at the start is just the BUSINESS!!!

[dorkytheurgist93]

this is brilliant 80s synth pop. it gets really good around 3:09. i love when he goes nuts at the end throwing the fit and flowers around.

[nikolaspearce]

Well...when you put it that way, it seems kind of depressing!

[r1skate]

I like how Marc is not really part of the scene. He is outside it. Telling the story... Because we all know he is NOT ordinary. Look at the necklace.

I also thought when he said "I have hobby," he said "I have HUBBY!" It just seemed to fit. After all this is Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.

By the way... I get it!

[MsSylv]

go mar!

[dannidog]

know the feeling ............

[diablodiablodiablo]

I like this.

[ferdinand37]

great song. First number from the album non-stop erotic cabaret.

[romerocv]

You're mentally ill.Fuck you

[LindaMy08]

The song goes totally out of control at the end and I love it!!

[betotusso]

very good

good time 80´s

[cruely90]

very good song

[JohnnyFox86]

The version of this i know is about 2 minutes long, the background melody is minimal bass and drums. Theres no saxophone or steel drums (i think thats what those are). The vocals are more pained, spoken rather than sung. Anyone know where it comes from?

[edwardskeleton]

if you could send me or tell me where i can download them you would become my favorite person ever

[toolazytosearchanick]

oh god pls dowload emule or utorrernt or any torrent dler ! )

[night7day]

@JohnnyFox86

I have a copy of that from here on youtube. I don't know if it's still up though. If i find it, i can send you a link. But anyway, i'm pretty sure Marc wrote it before Tainted Love became a hit. More like from the same time as the Bedsit Tapes...same sound... that, and TupperWare Party, Persuasion+old Memorabilia(A side)...they are all like that sort of... my favorite :)

but, I like the sound of this...and i prefer the lyrics from that version you speak of...

-7

[pholdstock]

Great to listen and scream too when your really pissed off!!!

[fafsa89]

Yeah! I remember hearing this back '82. It really hit home for me at that time in my life. Better than the hardest heavy metal songs.

[LegsSadowsky]

yessss, I'm so ordinary.

[Carbeto123]

I have loved this song since I was young, nice video, great lyrics, and the only truth is that one day we all gonna dieeeeeeee.... I LOVE SOFT CELL

[PASJONAT51]

Hehe

Nice video clip

Funny

Lyrics of that song are abaut so many os us,people

That fact is sad,not funny but song i very good.

[GOPpersona]

Wow, still relevant after all these years. Really cool to see vids like this that tainted love fan boys never take the time to see.

With all the advances in electronic/techno/industrial music (yes, the KAOSS pad is one of them), I wonder what soft cell could pull off if they originally formed today?

[NicolXIX]

that's a good question, I wonder what they'd pull off.

By the way do you mean the yellow kaossilator or the red kaoss pad?

[Andco11]

nor did I

[winesparkler]

I've listened to this song forever, but never saw the video. Whoa! Fucking awesome.

I'm so ordinary.

[MrVeGaSsSs]

meeeennnnnnn, i want to know what kind of weed that guy smoke O_O

[Alexm799]

haha me too

[tomi4franki]

check my favourite videos youll see a coool marc video there

[Alternate2GOP]

Wow, glad I've become one of the few people born in the 90's who took the time to realize that "tainted love" wasn't this dude's only good song.

This video seems more and more like documentation of my life every day.

[guinivereXbloodgood]

Saaame here. I was just barely born in the 90s, but still.

[HippieLaLaLaura]

this song goes good with the movie american beauty

[r1skate]

Watch "Office Space," with Ron Livingston and you will see exactly what Marc is talking about.

[HippieLaLaLaura]

yeh i lov that movie

[edda312]

this is gay

[martley1]

Oh for God's sake, what is that supposed to mean? That Marc is gay? Like 'hello'...don't we already know, and have we not known for years?. It's sad fucks like you that make it so hard for artists like Marc. listen, please understand that myself and Marc's listeners couldn't care less. Guess what I believe taht Rod Stuart is heterosexual. Like who cares either way! Maybe sometme somewhere you might step aside and think about how dreadful your stupid comment is. Please just grow up!!!

[steindard]

LOL. Some people are obsessed with homosexuality. I wonder why. Maybe they feel insecure about their own orientation. This song and video aren't about being gay, but apparently some people (men, I bet) can't think of anything else. I bet deep down in their closets they have secret fantasies about Marc which they deny even to themselves. Otherwise why are they so obsessed with his sexuality?

[imaginationunreal]

@martley1 don't let the naysayers & homophobes get to you.

what are they doing? making derisive comments on youtube??? please...

meanwhile, artists like marc almond and soft cell created music.

music that people are still listening to and being influenced by.

and let's see.....what are the naysayers doing again? oh yeah, they're making stupid comments on the web. yeah.... really creative guys.... great contribution to the world.

[xraycortina]

@martley1  Wise words. I always knew that Marc was gay (he did make a point of it) but never knew that Freddie Mercury was. Singers' sexuality is so irrelevant, I never bothered researching it. Just listen to the music ffs.

[brittolinderstevens]

@martley1

I wish he wasn't gay. He's soooo cute! ;)

[cocklemidget]

[TaintedLove14]

Wow!This is pure classic.Luv it!! :))!

[oksheenster]

I still have my original casette tapes from these guys. My personal treasures!

[Jacil5]

WOW! I remember listening to this all the time when I was 14 or so and it was just a song. Now as a 'frustrated' adult it's brilliant! My love for Soft Cell has been rekindled!

[olli34117]

i still remember this song...and it was a great time...with great memories..thanx for posting this...

[psmonkeyboy]

I love this song. Funny I have the same necklace, mine made of a neighbor's dead cat.

[dumplingeater]

GREAT LYRICS! COOL SONG ! - Love the yard scene and how he positions himself in this video - Really very expressive and progressive, hip, trendy...so classic and purely distilled 80's edgy NR !!

[hiracktoman9]

I don't remember hearing this song when I was growing up in the 80's...i guess it didn't get much airplay in my hometown of South Central L.A. LOL!

[likewowmanhey]

no it didn't get any airplay where I live at

[danbrujto]

Great song from SC,my fave for sure,i didn't knew there was a video!

[heyhooka]

caught Soft cell live in San Diego -they are as great as I imagined them to be

[flosflos]

One of the best of their best album, it's a shame this recording is a bit lofi.

[TrapperMilan]

Top tune,Top album!

[dxmkrew]

hahaha just like one of us homos to write a song like this.

[avshalom999]

I love everything about Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. What an amazing album. unfortunately I come back to this song everytime I feel bad about my life- well that's again one of those times......... was in a soft cell concert a few years back in Amsterdam - Marc Almond has still a great voice and what a performer. The best concert I've ever been to!

[naruto2furba2inuyash]

yhaaa!!! (luv this song!) ^^

[poppylights]

Gosh, I had no idea what this was about when I used to play it at the age of 12.

[SoundtrackGeneration]

He's so ordinary...but is he the frustrated pervert?

[MYSTIKALmonkey]

Yeah he sure is violently angry here. i am almost as angry that i had almost forgot about this song, once my cassette was ripped off i never bothered to replace. I guess i was just going thru fffffffffrus tra tion frustration and i wanna die!. Awesome

[cabbagelad]

I typed 'frustration' into the search box.

This is just what I needed :)

[ice18girl18]

its a shame he can't dance... he as a good body. eats healthy food... i like him :)

[mrhyde01]

Damn, ree78!!!

So many good vids have you posted!!

Lots of them, I've never watched!

Thanks!

[queen7x7]

ohhh soft cell, how much i loved you, couldn't get enough from you. take care of you marc

[plaitbiear]

Softcell has videos? WOW

[microwiz]

I must stand corrected - in the comments for Youth I said I hadn't seen any videos for the songs on Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. This one, though, I remember pretty clearly - especially the exotic woman coming up to him and taking the hedge clippers. Wonder if Neil Gaiman ever saw this video...?

[morrigan909]

Wow. This is awsome!

[sporazene]

softcell must also attemp My Chemical Romance HELENA 2005 with coffin carrying eh siouxmoux? yeah there' so unoriginal man.

[meighhead]

Meet Bo Derek and be her Tarzan, fucking love it, Alan.

[krewusa]

never seen marc so angry

[bop999]

Yep - first track. Great song, cool video!

[Gambit4u2]

Was this song on "Non-Stop Erotic Caberet"?

[brinstar21]

OMG!! I have this but on BOOTLEG! I LUV THEM!

[brfts2001]

didn't realize they released a video for this song.

[siouxmoux]

Softcell Attemp to be Morrissey in this one.

[brinstar21]

duuuuuuumb! Not even he's just being himself!!!

[bigjoescientist]

This song was released in 1981 -- 2 years before the first Smiths single. By the way, The Smiths were a little band Morrissey was in -- ever heard of them. Dork.

[nogingerfool]

haaa Morrisey would give his right nut to have written this

[CapKit]

love it! thanks for sharing
