Soft Cell - Memorabilia: Video

[NessieSanzerbeard]

I love the eyes... he's like an even more lecherous Eddie Cantor!

[Snuffomatica]

I've never heard this version. Sounds much more produced but I like the raw, slightly amateurish sound of the original also.

Keychains and snowstorms...

[pingsdk]

a better version of a great number WOW

[jzart]

How was this version released, does any one have a mp3 they would like to trade ?

[EricShermansChannel]

This was released as the B-side to tainted love on 45. At least that's where I had it. Just shell out the .99 and buy it from iTunes. Marc Almond has been broke for years.

[electrozaps]

dont think marc is broke at all LOL

[RocStarr913]

This was the version that was on their remix album Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing.

[maha77]

this is a masterpiece

Vickie Sue, thanks for the tidbit man!

[shapetwist]

I meant the sound/style of something from the early 80s is so normal now adays that it's confused for being current and apart of modern music. Interesting thing my wife picked out check out Gloria Esefan's "Turn the beat around", the chorus is identical to the lyrics in this tune at 4:10.

[j0wled]

That's because Gloria's song is a cover version of a song even older than this one. How did you not know?

[shapetwist]

Guess I'm living in a box, what song?

[j0wled]

Er... "Turn the beat around".

[ArranoGris]

I'm surprised that the fact this video contains footage of the WTC hasn't attracted a slew of little Truther idiots to try to point out something about it.

[dogwoodie]

yes i noticed that! pretty amazing shot too

[shapetwist]

shows how much of a circle music done when someone thinks Soft Cell covered NIN..

[ArranoGris]

Well, they probably didn't even know Soft Cell existed. I admit I heard the NIN version of this before the Soft Cell version, but when I noticed it didn't sound very "NIN-ish" I did a tiny bit of research and found hey....it's not a NIN song. Yes, even in 1995 the interwebs could be used to find stuff out, it just wasn't as easy.

[nirvana379]

probably marc almond is one of the most fashion man ever been also the music

[ForgottenSoul700]

Oh my, God! The world trade center!

[ForgottenSoul700]

Marc Almond is a beautiful man

[diegocozzolino]

Trent Reznor covered Soft Cell, not viceversa.

I like Soft Cell and his sound but Trent Reznor version is so brutally, so erotic, so sick, so....so....

[sinnerjizm]

Yeah... Soft Cell covered Reznor/NIN's 'Memorabilia' in the same way that they covered Marilyn Manson's 'Tainted Love'

[weirdon3t]

I like you.

[NalgaBrain]

fail

[jzart]

Amazing version, I am looking for a down load .....

[fourqkarnt]

The eyes @1:42 - fuckin funny

[PublicRemedy12]

This came first. Later, Reznor covered it.

[TaintedLove14]

This version came first. Uhm....I think the Nine Inch nail version came in the late 80's. Awsome video,huh? ^^)*!!

[jpratt]

Cindy Ecstasy is hot. Now she is probably 50 with kids.

[suskistube]

Marilyn Monroe will be forever hot. Now she is probably a rotting carcass.

[PublicRemedy12]

lol nice. That was a good one.

[SpookOfHearts99]

I didn't even know this had a video, I listen to it at least thirty times every day...

Thank you ^_^

But this song is different to the version I own... Mehh

xo

[maxdna888]

I used to hang out in a Bar in Phoenix and drive the bartender crazy playing this. It was on the juke box like 6 times as a B side. He never figured it out. Hard to believe I was that young once.

[iagozapat]

cool video, great tune....m.m.m.m.m.m.mem

[SMURFIN67]
