Tainted Love by Soft Cell

[harrow86]

/watch?v=6UrRxta8doM for the original By Gloria Jones. Please Like so people know the origins of this Song.

[harrow86]

Gloria Jones the original and the best. this cover comes in very close 2nd place.

[harrow86]

@harrow86 also Mansons version is also very good.

[cutkolgamer744]

Not to sound like I don't belong but i'm only 14 and I think I can honestly say why the fuck wasn't I born in the 80's or 70's with the great music like this, retro video gaming, awesome cars and the world was really starting to kick ass and chew gum..... and we're all outa gum!!!

[kamthemightyone]

brilliant acting!

[gomile1000]

...why is he talking to a little girl!?

[Poss699]

LM,AO wow and you do have ah point wtf was he doing wit dat lil girl..fucking wierdo's in the 80's

[colenbrak]

i like how all of you talk about how shitty other music is when this is clearly a band that did not have any sort of staying power in the industry

[GCLwins]

He is mocking his former love interest for having the mind, personality, and emotional maturity of a little girl.

[TheRoboteer]

Marc Almond is gay. Get over it , this is a great song. ALthough Rowan Atkinsons immpression of him on Not The 9o'clock News was very funny

[TheXflyx]

Gloria jones version is much better!

[xene3]

This song > Rhianna S.O.S > Marilyn manson version

[Dendiol]

If you are coming on here simply to say "Marilyn Manson is better", please grow up and save yourself the effort.

[blueskyhigh1111]

marilyn mason is not better and he is a FLIPPING FREAK ...

[dragonmustard2]

Marilyn Manson is a faggot

[SpidermanCraze]

marilyn mansons is way better

[byron8181]

Just FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

[skyiscrying53]

PS, this is not a rock song but a remax of a RnB song..

[ZiikaKristen]

I fall in love, HIS EYES !

[xene3]

Bruno brought me here

[themagicdudeSG]

i listened to 45 seconds of it, then went to marilyn manson's version

[MsDolphinBOY]

I still love this song!

[ricardoxot]

this is way more sadistic than marylin manson´s version - whata fucking pedo

[ZiikaKristen]

Well... Now I know i've got to run away.

[cieloknight]

beldar conehead brought me here!

[johnny029]

You people Obviously did not Understand what the Music Video was About as it tells you in the Dialog of lizzieanthony100...Get you're Life Straight....

[paleblue498]

Marilyn Manson's version better? You must be out of your f**king mind! That no-talent maggot should be led out to a field and given a bullet behind the ear.

[themagicdudeSG]

@paleblue498 your a fucking dumb ass, marilyn manson's version is 100x better, than this, his is actually good, this is a guy talking about being in love with a little kid..., pedo much?!?!?!?

[colenbrak]

@paleblue498 says the fan of a one hit wonder group

[gomile1000]

@paleblue498 *cough coughurafaggetcough cough coughfuckyoucough cough*

[FictileVillain]

@paleblue498 I'm a huge fan of Marilyn and I love both versions. What now?

[pianchis]

@paleblue498 manson cover sucks¡¡¡, i like what scorpions do with the cover, pretty cool

[gbradburn1]

@paleblue498 Have you ever actually listened to Marilyn Manson speak? Or for that matter, heard his version of this song? Stop being so narrow-minded. What the hell is wrong with you people?

[guitarguy5]

@gbradburn1 I've heard it. in fact I use to listen to him... it sucked

[paleblue498]

@gbradburn1 Yes I have heard Manson's version and seen the video on Youtube. Sorry, I'm not impressed. His voice sounds like he's been gargling with ground glass and his makeup job is ridiculous. Alice Cooper did it first and much, much better and Manson is nothing but a no talent poser who will be long forgotten in a few more years.

[UndeadByson]

marlyn manson's version is better

[ZiikaKristen]

@UndeadByson AJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA yeah, come on.

[EnterThunderstruck]

@UndeadByson ahahaha dont made me laugh xD

[mcrmaiden]

Creepy as fuck when he's singing "Touch me baby, tainted love." while glaring right at that little girl. xD

[katieballerina]

I wish I could have lived in the 80's... I'm sorry for what my generation does to music

[paleblue498]

The 80's was the last gasp of rock 'n roll and the golden era of music videos. Now we have nothing but no-talent ex-pimps and drug dealers (who can't play an instrument or carry a tune if it had handles) spouting ridiculous rhymes. Stop the world I want to get off.

[01MEGABOB]

@paleblue498 amen!

[skyiscrying53]

@paleblue498...lol, where is your record deal?

[morsolodiazs]

@paleblue498 hahahaha well said

[ladysman40210]

@paleblue498 thats not all we have...we got ppl like avenged sevenfold korn mudvayne buck cherry hinder nickelback theory of a deadman jason aldean jerrod nieman kenny chesney people like that i think they all really good but i grew up listening to 80's rock and country and older country and i listen to it all still with newer heavy metal and new rap see people from this era are just used to what they grew up listening to and dont

[ladysman40210]

@ladysman40210 want to change and theres nothing wrong with it but dont bash others who are making material that alot of people can relate to and like them its just pointless to bash people just cause u dont like them

[GCLwins]

@ladysman40210 - You have a point, my friend.

It is true those who grew up in the eighties listening to its music in our impressionable years identify and relate most with it, and view it as our comfort/security blanket now that we are older (though, oddly enough, many of us thought it was lame when released new in the eighties, looking up to the 60's and 70's as we did!).

I will check out all the acts you mentioned, since your argument is supported by logic, clarity, and clear examples.

[Lashid4u]

@paleblue498 WHY do y'all find every excuse to take jabs at rap music? I am a black person of the hip-hop genre, who also grew up on Chicago house, R&B and Nu wave, and I can't go into a video (which happens to be made by a white artist), and just enjoy it, without finding such cultural disrespect

[harrow86]

@Lashid4u Dont worry my friend people usually use words like that when thay have no idea what they are talking about this will make you laugh. /watch?v=6UrRxta8doM This is the original version of this song from 1964 Sung and Preformed By Gloria Jones (a Black Soul Singer) and it beats the hell outta this version. But not many people know that ;) enjoy buddy

[Lashid4u]

@paleblue498 ..btw, WHAT do you consider to be an "instrument"? ...and rap isn't about "carry a tune", but more about a rhythmic flow...

[harrow86]

@paleblue498 Are you aware that this was originally sang by a Black Soul artist? and a lot of the people you say are talentless ex pimps etc.are heavily influenced by old school soul and blues R&B. Without the soul and Blues movement, which I might add were typically from the same background as our modern day Talent less Drug Dealers as you so eloquently put it. Music would be SHIT!!!! But their will always be people like you that don't know enough about musical history to appreciate evolution.

[lzbkr]

Good song....weird music video.

[flojo020]

Awesome tune, fucking love the 80's!!

[tayliebug12]

i dont get this video but i love this song

[gameradict84]

i hear it in a walmart in mexico

[gameradict84]

my favorite song and also remind me kid icarus

[appleswoot16]

lol the doctor brought me here!

[FrozenFourthSeason]

What the hell, the lead singer looks like a snotty scrawny 14-year-old boy. LOL this video makes me laugh

[1993raymond]

thumbs up if Rihanna brought you here!

[VideosNoHere]

@1993raymond

i don't know how rihanna could possibly be related to soft cell

[1993raymond]

@VideosNoHere you gotta listen Rihanna's SOS. Then you'll know what i mean.

[Gorgronzola]

No mobile...boooooo

[icequeenmt]

brings back memories of good times :)

[VIKTORVOGHNDOOM]

this video reminds me of kid icarus

[He11F1RE666]

Manson? BOO! Gloria Jones? eh. Soft Cell? YEAH!!

[therealsan]

this song is good, even manson version is nice :)

[imaninja562]

240p, we meet again.

[alterbridgefan99]

I LOVE this song but wtf is with this video. It's the first time I've ever seen it

[tryithere]

@alterbridgefan99 And probably the last.

[alterbridgefan99]

@tryithere

yup, probably lol

[blueprojectstyle]

superba piesa..nemuritoare..gold song..

[sepolto]

I'm a bit confused... each version seems to focus on a different story. I like the most the Soft cell version along with Gloria jones original.

Sorry Mansons fan.

[AdeleoSpagetio]

i liked other music but then i took an arrow to the knea

[skintighttrousers]

@AdeleoSpagetio nice try.

[cheezlovr01]

this song haunts me

[MrMichael530]

i dont care... this video is creepy... just saying...

[gricka31]

depeche mode version?

[pixiesoft]

Recorded through a potato?

[MrJakeTerror]

Doctor who got me here.

[regg517]

@MrJakeTerror  same!

[DmxXxify]

Gay version of Marilyn Manson xDxDxD

THUMBS UP BITCHE'S :@@@

[TheMrFelipe]

@DmxXxify Marilyn Manson made the "Gay Version" of this song.

[Drahkillik]

@TheMrFelipe Yeah, this guy is SO masculine, I dont know whats more masculine, the dress he wears or the girly voice ¬¬. Accept it, Marilyn Manson made a more agresive and masculine song. But, I cant say his version is better, that is my opinion, and everyone have its own opinion. Sorry for my bad English.

[Kregonov]

Marilyn Manson is nobody. He has stolen a bunch of good songs.

[findareason97]

TAINT

[TinklePrincessOfOz]

If I get 100 likes I'll queef this song for my talent show

[dirtyd83wonderbread]

@TinklePrincessOfOz lol ill like it a 100 times then

[Rhumas469]

Rihanna brought me here!!!



[mmtmn]

is it just me, or Britney's Radar is soo similar with this song?

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

dat 240p quality. Still a great song.

[632waldo]

this is like ultimate 80's gold :) But what a a stupid video lol

[CVGweens]

Manson consume this song >:D

[XxARTISTofWARxX]

-5 internets

[mario1136]

Manson always ruins good 80's pop. That faggot.

[XxARTISTofWARxX]

@mario1136 Wait.....you actually watched THIS video and the only thing you can call gay is mm?..

[mario1136]

@XxARTISTofWARxX Yeah, this vid is kinda gay too, but I like the song

[PussssayPatrol]

i hate this song

[mackannr001]

GAY!!!

[CrisTiano7M3tAllicA]

The video is a shit compared with the song

[greekgiakimjfan]

Well i am Marilyn Manson's fan and i prefer manson's version :/

I dont like this video clip..

but whatever likes anyone :)

[katoklzmk]

A child escorted into a roomfull of new toys including, apparently, people (like the beautiful boy wearing a submissive's bracelt, armed guy leaves; whats to get creeped out over?

[MegaTrollerOfTruth]

@katoklzmk tainted love is a creepy thing period so i guess it all fits

[Gamegod63]

ok good song creepy as hell video i saw video thought ...wtf

[brandon91616]

This song always reminds me of Danny DeVito stripping.

[Eliya1995]

@brandon91616

OMG opn that episode with the stripper on friends!! I loved it!! and this comment made me go and watch it again to make sure it really was tainted love he stripped to... lol

[Arvhbvh]

Can this Original song get more viewers then the fake song "pussycat dolls".

[the3aremine1]

anyone else remember the rumour that he had to be rushed to hosp to have gallons of sperm pumped out of him lol i was young i believed it , also believe the richard gere gerbil story

[MrPixel42]

@the3aremine1 lol, when I was in junior high the same rumor went around about Rod Stewart.

[btho5531]

@the3aremine1 I remember the same thing being said about the singer from the late 80's group 'Bros' of 'when will i be famous'. I remember the same thing being said about Tiffany. 

[magiclambful]

426 people suck

[BHUTANISPARTOFCHINA]

awesome tune here hell ya indeed

[jerico36024]

guys chill out, if he tried anything she would simply beat the hell out of him.

[mothurman]

Whats the meaining of the little girl?

[katoklzmk]

The little girl woudlve had a huge crush on Marc Almond. Trust me.

[RissaJoanna95]

I know this video has a meaning, but honestly, what is THAT meaning?

Love the '80s. <3

[lizzieanthony100]

@RissaJoanna95 His wife cheated on him with the slave and thats the slaves kid, not his. So he feels angry because it isn't his child its the black guys. Thats why he smacks the food and things out of his wifes hand and its show a flash of the guys face at parts.

[TheItalodancers]

another version ??!

[TheMarshall000]

PEDOPHLE!!!!!



[RissaJoanna95]

@TheMarshall000 No, honestly he's not a pedophile.

They barely even thought that way. The video has a tremendous meaning and the meaning has nothing to do with molesting little kids like the young girl in the video.

It even gives you hints in the song. He wouldn't be saying "Don't touch me!" or junk like that. Don't judge it; learn it.

[stealth85120]

love it but film with a toaster --'



[TheSwearingChef]

Faggy dude is pissed off with his 8yo lover....WTF 80's??

[Wimmpy007]

so 240p, we meet again

[bongo155]

@Wimmpy007 Always one stupid fuckwit complaining about 240p videos that were posted on youtube nearly 6 years ago. Fucking twat.

[MrTaeman21]

THE song's About Adam and Eve

[schaos1987]

stole that bitches apple :(

[beggsie221]

he's kinda cute but its kinda creepy that he is singing to a seven year old girl!

[PottertasticChick]

@beggsie221 i was thinking the same thing!

[beggsie221]

@PottertasticChick cool :)

[PalaciosArtistColony]

Gloria Jones wrote this song.......!

[PalaciosArtistColony]

Gloria Jones wrote this song.......!

[IceyHedgehogTV]

Did she died?

[Flunitralejo]

"Soft Cell" & all the eighties rules

[BelieveInTheNargles]

Am I the only person who first heard about this song from the end of the world episode in Doctor Who?

[ks10lajidebt]

@BelieveInTheNargles Yes

[benislikedabomb]

@BelieveInTheNargles No sir...I wouldn't know this song existed without Doctor Who.

[MelCandy]

Such a shame the poor quality of the video.

[mothcorrupteth]

Pedophilia isn't quite what I'd say the video is getting at. The song obviously presumes that the girl and the singer have been interacting for some time, but the girl is obviously oblivious to everything that he's singing about. She's only interested in the ball and childish fun. The singer is more insane than pedophilic; he's engrossed in a delusional fantasy that he and the girl have shared in some relationship that there is no evidence for. That's all.

[TheButtascotchbro1]

@mothcorrupteth Actually it's about 3 types..pedophilia..homosexuali­ty..and interracial love, with the singer representing Nero and his madness..

[candyrain009]

The pedophile theme song. Tainted Love. lool.

[Tokeupbro]

421 faggots

[scouse7under7blouse7]

touch me baby tainted love!!

[PeeGeeBeeDee]

Don't Want NONE

[glenwo2]

This video is guilty of being weird and stupid....and was created THIRTY(that's 30) YEARS AGO.

Society THEN wasn't the bunch of Save-the-children Paranoid Schizos they are today.

That said, this song SUCKS anyway.

[Pop1ca]

I'm not a rocker but I think the MM version is more good than this !!!

[vaughan4746]

Like if u heard this from cone heads .. :)

[Pyreois]

I used to listen to this music. Then I watched this video.

[TheOneLichemperor]

@Pyreois

I feel your pain....

It's like taking an arrow to the knee.

[Lukege15]

@TheOneLichemperor Oh my, that meme is everywhere at the moment. Kudos at fitting it into a Soft Cell comment's section though,

[TheOneLichemperor]

@Lukege15 Haha, I swear there must be a cult maliciously hunting down adventurers and shooting them in their knees with arrows!

Just for the record; this is the first time I have used this meme. Everyone is entitled to one use! ^^

[Girlswhosseenalot]

old favorite

[iloveabba100]

This video makes literaly no sense! Love the song though

[dominata109]

honestly the video isnt creepy it just has more meaning than newer age videos

[Eliya1995]

I love this song!!! so very much!! I hate the version Marilyn Manson did...

[Mon7que]

@Eliya1995 I like both versions. Marilyn Manson chooses great songs to do remakes to, and does a good job on them all in my opinion. :) Are you a Manson fan, cuz if not that might explain it haha. :P

[Eliya1995]

@Mon7que

I'm not a Manson fan so yeah it pretty much explains it :)

lol but he does make good choices on song he covers

[vashna3799]

no wonder they remade these video.

[deathmaiden5]

god this is awful.

[chayhatesgossips]

thumbs up if "just go with it" brought you here :]]

[MsHysterica]

that little girl reminds me of young nicole richie

[beaugella]

@MsHysterica omg me too!

[byron8181]

Singers gorgeous, but obviously a bit of a perv. But, no probs there as far I'm concerned. You gotta love that!!

[igneousfizzlebottom]

He's supposed to be one of the decadent roman emperors. Probably Caligula.

Some of you retards need to know history.

[abridgedfanboy]

@igneousfizzlebottom Course, the problem there is that some guys might know he's Caligula, but only know that because of the Malcolm McDowell movie. XD

[digirosariofan]

maybe the child is the reason it is tainted, duh. good sounding ng I have a 9:01 version.

[ThePortis17]

what the f@#k why is this song on here

[byron8181]

Supa pervy = sooper good. AMAZING!!!!!

[chicaelena12]

i wonder how the little girl felt....lol

[dinchman]

@chicaelena12 She seems happy enough.

[efi508]

i love this song its so weird but so cool..!!

[draconian45]

The Black guy slept with his wife and she gave birth to a mulatto girl. Hence "tainted love".
