[itsdandandan]

i believe bink rostbeef

[vamptastique]

who owns this song?

[madridboy86]

its owned by Champion Records

[vamptastique]

i meant who sings the original

[madridboy86]

it original sung by Gloria Jones in 1964

[LOLO111111111111]

ha im a metal head and i think this song is epic

[king1and]

It'sa great song, shame the 9 minute version isn't on video. That 9 min version is amazing, think of the best thing ever and times it by 100 that's the 9 min version!

[RockStar2085]

it looks soooo 80's ish but its still an awesome song

[Cleveraccountname]

fuck yeah this song is awesome

[KingOfKatamari]

Quite possibly one of the best one-hit wonders ever. (Fans from the UK, I'm only referring to their success in the States.)

[concurseira2009]

Great, thanks for sharing! This music is 5 stars!

[itsdandandan]

shit its already 30 years ago... time flys when your always stoned i heard somebody say...

[itsdandandan]

a friend had this song 20 years ago in his car, the 20 minutes version, after some joints driving through Amsterdam, we thought we were the aliens and the car a back to the future mobiel. always sooo stoned on this song...

GREAT. still love itt. the smoke also to be honnest..

[MikeyTSH]

after having to do this for AS level music tech last year hearing this tune makes me go insane. 2 vocal takes and they said THIS was the best (and it sucks). what id give to have a good laugh at the FIRST take.

[icemagedd]

i like the music video. it was really creative with all the stars with the aliens or formations or something lol and huanting him

[0noser]

omg this vid IS SO SPECTACULAR!!! HE IS DO HOT!

[23JoaoCosta]

tainted love ;) jc

[wierci000]

fucking thief! This Sond belong to Gloria Jones! This guy don't have a self idea...

[misterbamboostick]

We all know that. It's a cover. At least they did something different with it. I think both versions are great.

[NoiselessSounds]

Wow. When i got this song on Limewire, it said it was by The Cure. Weird.

[LongLiveJonasXx]

i like m manson better but this is classic

so i gotta love this

[badgetheradge]

lol propa 80s this. but still cool

[batmanone2]

pedalstwo...ale kawalek daje rade

[plasticman123456]

manson is this guys bitch. go put more white paint on your faces

[YTghostface]

goddamn advertisements!

[nihonjohnny]

Tainted love = Fruit of the poisoned loins.

[TODDYINLINCOLN]

soft cell were brilliant. enjoy don't analyse. look at their other records to

[leihoa]

THIS is classic. To say M.Manson is better you gotta be retarded... But what could I demand from 16 y.o kids, being 35 myself? Peace.

[meshpop]

@leihoa im 13 and i personally hate M.Manson's version.... classic ftw :)

[shmexiihobo]

this version is WAAAAY better than Manson's. And im 17 =]

[cobra4108]

esta version es una mierda es mejor la de marilyn manson!!!!!!

[LOLOSAMOL]

Marilyn Manson Version of Tainted Love is more better. xD

[hylyndgurl93]

was the guy at 0:18 from spy kids? lol he looks like him...this song scares me

[meshpop]

@hylyndgurl93 ho crap he does so :S im now officially also scared :c

[cytotoxix]

80sfan1, pay no attention to these young twits who could not make the difference between a singer and a cucumber. Also, homophobes out there, go fuck yourselves. Many gay artists make the music grade. George Michael, Almond, Elton John, and the king, Freddie Mercury. Marilyn Manson should be in jail, he is psycho, like Charles.

[MutleeIsTheAntiGod]

Manson is amazing! love mercury as well.

[80sfan1]

Thanks, I'm kind of a young myself ha ha! Being a teenager is fun but loving 80s music is better

[rogleach]

@80sfan1 being a teenager in the 80,s was magic

[FAMILYGUYROCKS726]

yeah well wiv the whole we all have our own opinions thing im gonna say that in my opinion that marilyn manson's cover of this was easily ten times better than soft cell's but u know thats just my opinion.

[c2boss]

once again in the 80's, it's just a poor remake of a previous song using synths and drum boxes...

GLORIA JONES- "TAINTED LOVE" (1964)

video's available on youtube :)

[80sfan1]

@c2boss Well duh, thats what the 80s was! Using synths made it catchy. I agree with you because no cover is better than the original. But the synths and drum boxes are why i love the 80s so. New Wave!!

[skyynett999]

whaterver he was on,i want some....

[rougefan9]

in my opinon The 80's and 90's were better (in music) than today and i remember this song it played on the radio (90's) when i was little and loved it ever since thanx for posting this! i've been trying to find this <3

[AndybNDB]

awesome song, the living end's version is better

[xwerefoxx]

80's music was shall we say...."Interesting" LAWL Look at Prince

[alexwilsonNC]

The 80's were the shit. Prince is the shit too.

[80sfan1]

@alexwilsonNC Ha ha and todays music is better? I would kill to have been in the 80s. Todays music just doesn't have the same feel as the 80s. But we all have opinions I suppose.

[alexwilsonNC]

I said it was "the shit", not "shitty".....

[SmashBrosBrawl]

@alexwilsonNC

Woah did alexwilsonNC just say this song is SHITTY!?!?!?!?

FLAG HIM SO HE GETS BANNED FROM YT

[80sfan1]

Well then I am sorry. But in my defense I don't speak ghetto, not that i'm calling you that nor am I sterotyping. Tainted love

[heavymetalrulz123]

Yeah, true! Catchiest sythesizer ever!

[Got2BeFunProductions]

guys its 1981. all of the videos were strange lol

[ITSMAZDA]

whats this song about?

[HINRG14]

tainted love

[queeenbeththe3]

love the song not so crazy about the video

[andrewgcambridge]

British 80's Synthpop FTW. I swear this is not the original video though.

[SSM562]

OMG THE ViiDEiiO iiSSS SOOO LAME.. BUT ii LOVE THiiSS SOONG....

[00B4S]

Just run it in the Background, so you don't have to look @ it! Gotto love windows for its, erm, windows!

[phoenixwingscan]

One of the greatest songs of the 80's and still popular in the dance clubs throughout North America to this day!! Love the song and music!! Thanks for posting it!! Peace and love to u all!

[taotapp]

Is it my imagination, or was there another version of this video involving small children?

[kalibhakta]

You are correct! A young girl and it is a much better video!

[mgmstlmo]

This CAN'T be the original video from the 80's first Marc Almond's hairstyle in the video is definitely 90's and I saw him on several vid's in the 80's and his hair was definitely an 80's look. The second is the beat, I have the original early 80's releaee of Tainted Love which came along with "Baby Where Did Our Love Go".

This is obviously a later remix from the 90's because the beat is much slower on the record.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

This video is really dumb. Usually videos from the 80s are really good, but this is just pain ghey. The song's cool, though.

[birutation]

Melhor que a do Mariyn gay manson

[noramadox]

I love the song, but ... what a stupid video

[tofylennox]

i think an 80's trademark is dumb videos, but wel luv them\

[ewlvspw]

lmao i do :P i have a thing for gay men and yes i am a woman :)

[zmac17]

No one wants to hear about your gay fantasies... XD

[yellow2000fluff]

That poor guy in the vid just can't relax for the fear of getting his arse hammered ! I think Almond made it clearly obvious that he wanted to suck the sponk outta that guy's dick bag ! He probably also wanted to lick the shit outta his arse !!!

[Didmyreturns]

Marilyn rapes this shit..

[MySoulDecays]

better than marilyn manson i luv his music 2, but i just think the 80's kinda got brought 2 my attention a little more :-)

[homerfarton]

Ese tipo es clavado a Pablo Motos!!

[KnuxBrent07]

so...... is this a gay song or not? I don't want to go blastin this in the street for someone to drop the bomb on me.

[yellow2000fluff]

Yeah I'd say it was very gay ! That poor guy in the video is trying his very best to avoid getting BUMMED by Almond ! He wants to watch his ass !

[Caleb0014]

I wonder how Marilyn Manson react to all these commnets? Or how would he react when I did ur mom..lol

[TheHandify]

nahm he woudl probably don't care (for the comments)

[mangostenmaster]

Great music, but I wonder how people reacted back in the early 1980's.

[KnightxWulfx]

this is a good song i like it.

[soccerholden13]

I ain't got a problem with this version of the song or with marc almond being gay. just stop hatin' on manson. he's a terrific artist and puts on a great show.

[lolprincess2]

IS THIS DUDE GAY??

[canhazkayte]

gtfo ignorant twelve year old.

[thrashnburn30]

all you faggot ass 15 yr old kids coming on here bashing our music fuck off and go listen to your 00's bullshit. you kids dont like it then what the hell u doing on here then?? huh??

[gnomehate]

@thrashnburn30 EXACTLY!

[cytotoxix]

Honestly, what has the world come to, with millions of idiots listening to these sick assholes ( read : Marilyn Manson ) or, talentless idiots ( Paul Potts and Susan "I'm a man" Boyle ). Come World War III, come please !!

[soccerholden13]

nothing wrong with manson, he makes great music. give High End of Low a listen or Golden Age of Grotesque. great stuff.

[cytotoxix]

Marilyn Manson and his honkies should be locked up or sent to Afghanistan where the Taliban will take care of them, tattoos and all. These undesirables should be disposed of. This version of Tainted Love is quality, so homophobes, go fuck yourselves. Ever heard of Freddie Mercury ? Well, he was gay, yet was one of the best rockers - ever.

[fredericknick]

Well put this "Embedding disabled by request" inside your anus... Ok!

[coolkisser]

This version is the best. Its a classic. It sold millions... If u prefer Marilyn Manson watch that version on you tube and write there how much u love it! Motherfuckers!

[BrosephGoebbels]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU youtube and your ads

[138nathan]

@WorldWideWhiplash, what you on about this version is so much better mm is sick but he fucking fails at covering stuff

[WorldWideWhiplash]

MM version is like 1000X better

this is the pussy verson

[BlaBloomkin]

Nah

[WorldWideWhiplash]

dude have you heard it, it IS 1000X better

[BlaBloomkin]

Ya i heard it i didnt really like it

[XJaminxxAkaxxSmurfX]

@stillfly33 Fagget Marlyin Manson, copyed of this song. His cant beet this.

[hosehead109]

marlyin manson is awesome its just that this song is gay and soft cell singer is a fruit

[WorldWideWhiplash]

man i totaly agree

[stillfly33]

marilyn manson's version kicks the sh*t outta this crap

[coscientology]

if you were a faggot i guess i could see how you might think that

[zafes]

yeah your right, marilyn's version doesnt sound so queer

[TheOliviasingalong]

amazing song! LUV LUV LUV! So did my 2nd grade teacher! LOL he played it all the time tht is y i love it so much now! haha!

[Fuzzio1]

LOVE THIS SONG,BEST EVER!

[madrereus16]

HOLY SHIT i am virgo too!

[yuffenough]

wtf i had watch a progressive ad before watching this... :(

[MsNessieCullen1]

i ♥ this song!

[hayitsnotfred]

The star bodies look female to me...

[3vegemite]

Man! Even if it was gay, who cares man? We're all humans. And this is just a good song. It's not like a bunch of men start running after you or you instantly turn gay if you listen to this song. Dude! Some of you people are just f&ckin' paranoid. Especially you hard-core christians!

[addemanns]

yeey, religion fight.. if u havnt noticed that there is no god yet, im suriprised u even managed to write a comment :p watch out for santa and easter bunnies :)

[stevenajbff5]

good song, i dont like mansins or wut ever his name is version, its so gothic. this version is better but music video sucks =/

[iskiesalty]

great song but the music video was bad

[johnnyrightfoot1]

this is the kind of dirty that you can't wash up from

[alphauktelepictures]

this is crap

[jerrynuevo]

This song is freaking immortal.....forever...I remember making a drum cadence based on this song back in High School in the 80's.

[metube940]

what were you doing with your life....

[jerrynuevo]

I was a kid............enjoying all aspects of music...

and you?

[CynicallyInsaneX]

This video is so trippy...

God, I love 80's music!

[guy55555122]

yea soft cell wasnt the first, nor, will the ever be the last.. the song wasnt a big hit untill soft cell covered it.. anyway you look at it it is a great song :)

[zfloid44]

Not knowing much about songs (and much else) is such a sign of these times. Anyone owning the ACTUAL RECORD could right away tell it was Soft Cell doing a cover. yeah

[jenswhatshesaid]

calm yourself, please. knowing music isn't exactly a reflection of society.

[zfloid44]

@jenswhatshesaid Perhaps, as I implied, it isn't just the music, but the media that stores and distributes it that has fallen into decay. yeah

[jenswhatshesaid]

@zfloid44 i didn't realize that was the implication. and though i agree that the media is all kinds of trash, i think it's up to people to make sure they're not influenced or, in the most extreme case, controlled by the media.

[soccerholden13]

this IS NOT THE ORIGINAL. the original was done by Gloria Jones in 1964. with that said, this is a cover song. and Marilyn Manson's cover of the song is a shitload better. so dont go and use the argument that this is better becase originals are better than covers. this is a cover song.

[ExoticAruna]

Wow, I never knew the Soft Cell version was a cover.

[ravercorum20]

marilyn manson murded this song.

[soccerholden13]

he didnt murder the song. if anyone did it was soft cell because they were the first cover. but I would like to recant part of my statement ealier in which I say Manson's version is a "shitload better". Both of them are good covers of the song.

[tapeboi321]

fuck that advertisement.

[aceventurasc]

The Best

[cytotoxix]

Hello Distortian. Thank you for a mature response. You are right, better leave it there. Life is too short.

[joshua246810]

i pissed their is an advertisement my computer run poorly as it is.

[blackrabbit212]

You tell 'em, joshua246810. Just what we need on youtube. More bloody advertising.

[Distortian]

If you here close, you can here a "beep beep" that Rihanna used in her song: S.O.S.

[cytotoxix]

Just watched Marilyn Manson's shocking version of this great song. Manson belongs, like his namesake, in jail, tattoos and all. Better still, he should be hanged, for ruining a great song, along with his wicked followers. I detected plenty of satanic overtones in Manson's video. He should be nailed for that.

[Distortian]

Don't take it serious its just an act. I agree that he is shocking but it is just an act.

[Corawidenadfar]

[siasti]

Great video - almost 30 years since it was made and it doesn't seem dated at all...

[TheKitkat46]

[glamaddict09]
