"Tainted Love", una de las canciones más versionadas de todos los tiempos, fue grabada por Gloria Jones en 1965. Pero el tema no se hizo famoso mundialmente hasta 1985, con la versión de la banda de Marc Almond. Todas las versiones posteriores palidecen en comparación.
I'm sure someone has mentioned it but there are two soft cell videos for this song. This is the better one, and the original one that soft cell did before they shot a second more "commercial" version. Gloria Jones is the genesis of bother versions. (covering my ass)
This is Soft Cell's SECOND version of Tainted Love! The original video is from 1981 or 1982, and it has Marc Almond AND Dave Ball in it. This is the RERECORDED 1991 version of the song with a new video, and it doesn't have Dave Ball in it because Soft Cell wasn't together at the time. I like the '81 video more because it has Dave Ball in it!
What's up with the nitpicking? I am old enough to remember the '64 version, Soft Cell's recording used, tracks from '64. For some reason this video omitts them. It is Soft Cell's orginal version, of a great song!!!
"Tainted Love" is a song composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of The Four Preps, which was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1965. It attained worldwide fame after being covered by Soft Cell in 1981, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart,[1] and has since been covered by numerous groups and artists
Well.... this is the original Soft Cell video and yes, it is a cover. But honestly, what would the 80'ties be without this song and without these guys? Half the fun... bless them both, they were brilliant!!!!!!
"A video was recorded specially for Soft Cell's video album 'Non Stop Exotic Video' and features band members Marc Almond and David Ball in togas on Mount Olympus."
"Soft Cell issued a remixed version of the song in 1991. Another video was made for this release. It features a man pacing at night, dancing with starry apparitions, while Almond sings amongst the stars."
@Stainbreak Indeed, it's the video to the 1991 re-recorded version. For some reason, the musical channels on tv always seem to play this version instead of the original 1981 single
This is a great song, and i think its LOADS better than the original, but in the description apparently: Dont comment on how it isnt the original version becuase it is. Your comments will be replied to then deleted! :| So, this IS the original version eh? Hmmmmm.............
This is the original Soft Cell version of the song but not the original video. The original 1981 video had band members Marc Almond and David Ball in togas on Mount Olympus. This video was made in 1991 when Soft Cell issued a remixed version of the song.
Sure it's been said before: Gloria Jones did the original. This isn't the version of Tainted Love that Soft Cell had Number 1 with. It's the later recording. Different people like different versions. You're not sitting in my living room so whichever version you like best is your call.
@maka2k11 are you fucking serious Marilyn Manson made this song fair enough this is the original but its hard to make a song better then the original but he did
It was my replays buttons birthday and I gave it birthday beats. Although I hit it 300 times... Got good music out of it though! HAPPY BIRTHDAY REPLAY BUTTON!!!
From Wikipedia: "Tainted Love" is a song composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of The Four Preps, which was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1965. It attained worldwide fame after being covered by Soft Cell in 1981, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart,[1] and has since been covered by numerous other groups and artists. It was the B-side to the 1965 single "My Bad Boy's Comin' Home",[2] which was a commercial flop, failing to chart in either the US or the UK.
@tonymaye how stupid can u get? it is SOFT CELLS original version. They did two this is the original one BY SOFT CELL its obviously not the original of the song in general
i think that kills, no slaughters the original 1964 version, but thats just me, i think the evolution of popular music (or culture in general) ended sometimes in the 1960s, really cant stand that 80s plastic pop sound.
This is a very good song or so many people would not have recorded it. I have listened to many versions and I like every one of them from the Pussycat Dolls to Manson. This is my favorite.
@Foodfighter2 It's the first recording of Soft Cell's version of the song, but Gloria Jones did this song in 1964 which is the original, the year after President Kennedy was shot. Soft Cell switched the lyrics to make it come from a man's point of view.
marc almond does a great edition of this song,,, not to mention the fit bloke in the white t-shirt ! ! ! i dont care if hes queer Im still having a look ;o) LOL
@Twangabilly how thick are you to not notice that he's meaning its the original version of the video by Soft Cell, not that its the original version of the song in general
Hallo, I disagree. This is the second Tainted Love video which was published by Marc Almond only. There is an earlier version published by the formation Softcell (which consisted of Marc Almond and Dave Ball. In the 80ies homosexuality was not suitable for mass markets on the continent. So Marc Almond made a second video on his own and published it under his singer name only again. So your video is not only the second version but not by Softcell also. It's from Marc Almond only.
You guys keep commenting about it being a gay video or asking about it....if you didn't notice, the "star people" have tits..... That's right, they're females. Pay attention before you ask useless questions xD
20 years after, I am clear why I like girls who have on em only smth one and very stretch ... thanks to "aliens" from this video ... super sexy!
