HQ - Soft Cell - Tainted Love - Top of the Pops 1981

[Homade79]

is it just me or is he Pee Wee Herman and Boy George's love child?

[ilovefeelincheap]

Marc looks good enough to eat in this performance! :D

[TheFederalDrugs]

oh these comments..... do some of you people know ANYTHING about stuff that happened before you were born?

[FakeName071]

I cant listen to this "version" without hearing Marilyn Manson

[MisAnnThorpe]

@FakeName071 May I suggest that perhaps you actually ARE playing the MM version by mistake? Next time you want to play it check the label. The Soft Cell version will say "Soft Cell" whereas the Marilyn Manson one will say "Marilyn Manson". It really is that simple!

[MisAnnThorpe]

Never mind Johnny Weir, (never heard of him!) Marc Almond looks like Johnny Marr of The Smiths with lots of leather accessories!

[kathy197778]

@MisAnnThorpe true dat!! Cheers, Kathy x

[Cldfsn0200]

[sandrorhoads]

Justin Bieber is more gay than Marc Almond

[jusaLOSER]

MY GOD i LOOOVVVVEEE this song!!! u would think that Soft Cell were kinda goth before goth was even in! but yeah it came out in 81? i was 9 that year! don't remember when i first heard the song but i liked it back then too!

[frements]

excellent song and performance but dose anyone have the version where marc almond is in a black cap sleeved t-shirt with some kind of glitter design

[kaszashippy]

kíváncsi vagyok : ki venne fel manapság olyan nadrágot XD brutális, néhol teljesen úgy néz ki mint az anyám

[soulcubyou]

Фигасе, в напульсничке, с поясочком) Может Мэнсон не делал кавер на эту песню, может это он молодой и есть?)

[bossendenwoodconvict]

1981...pop's best year.

[deadmuso]

@bossendenwoodconvict

I absolutely have to agree!!!!!

[BohemianBlend]

Gosh, I wish someone had told me a while ago that Marc Almond was actually kinda cute. *_*

[TheDeadendgirl79]

nice lip synching! lol

[simonlarsen79]

This is not HQ faggot!!!

[InfectedWithMusic]

i wasnt born yet when this song came out, but i still love it and many other amazing 80's classics

[ullilet]

[pokelifiala]

[gunnerglory]

His hand movements are a little...worrying...not sure how to put it, I think he likes showing off his spiked wristbands

[BleedingOphelia]

Amazing! Marc Almond is SO cool. And so is this song... He's gonna play in my town the 8. or 9. of Oct, and I really can't wait... It's gonna be EPIC.

[LiamJamess]

Marc Almond had such a passionate voice, he really stuck out from every other generic 80s band circa 1981/82

[GruppeB]

he looks like pee wee herman!

[adrian102030]

this cut of just as it's getting even better.

[vaggelisparaskevas]

my god he is just great isnt he . i dont believe he turned out to be the singer he turned . could anyone imagine that . they all thought he was a joke but he was not at all.

[corpsvalue]

HQ? Highly questionable.

[akaGOLDFINGER]

im not trying to be rude or put him down but this is another song he moves and sings like he gay...AND I NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE I WAS POPPING MY HEAD TO THE BEAT OF TAINTED LOVE, I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IM GONNA END UP DANCING LIKE HIM WHEN I TURN 14 TOMORROW

[hux2000]

@akaGOLDFINGER: Well, he *is* gay, so...

[TheBobAndRoundyShow]

Is that Damon Hill on lead vocals?

[taurus2leo]

so i was watching the olympics specifically the men's figure skating & i'm sure you all know where i'm getting at..

i'm like damn Johnny Weir looks like Marc Almond from Soft Cell..and that Evan guy who won gold for the USA(and who uses way too much hair product for my taste)looks like Tony Headley(sp?) the singer from Spandau Ballet!!! Geez all the guys skating in this year olympics look like guys from 80s music scene.maybe that russian guy Pleschenko could pass as the singer from the Fixx!!

[20099557]

@taurus2leo

I watched the eight-part Sundance Channel original documentary series BE GOOD JOHNNY WEIR. I think in episode 7 or 8, Johnny has his hair done and they dye it black because, "it looks better on the ice". Johnny also likes Russia and learned how to speak Russian. I watched Johnny in the 2006 olympics and he didn't really remind me of Marc the way he looked then. I think the black hair is what reminds me of Marc. I wonder if Johnny does things to look more like Marc.

[OurPaulie4591]

They just don't do music like this today,those were great days!

[sheliene12]

[MisterAlexGabriel]

@sheliene12 He stole his outfit from a 30s lesbian though.

[piratekid1]
