Tainted Love - Blues MAMA Cover

Originally recorded in 1964 by Gloria Jones, written by Ed Cobb and hurled into the cosmic consciousness by Soft Cell - This song has been recorded more times than I bothered to count, but if you're interested look it up on Wikipedia. Marilyn Manson does a bang up cover as well.

This visual aspect of this cover became about the love-hate relationship I have with cigarettes. We all know it's bad for us, but we still feel the allure, the seductive pull of the smoke... What's up with that? First Image is me, guilty as charged.

Images were shamelessly purloined from the Internet. Anyone claiming ownership, I humbly request your permission to retain these images in this Video Slideshow, as I think together, we are really saying something. Please drop me a line, and I will be sure to credit you here! It's all in the spirit of the Greater Good.

Peace,
Raven
Blues Mama

Guitar, Vocals -- Raven
Backing Vocals -- Mica the Cat

This song brought a tear to my eye. My grandfather died of alzheimer's disease caused by the lack of blood flow to his brain. Smoking caused that. It was such a waste... He was such a hero to me. He even helped with the funding of building the World Trade Centers.

Such amazing people get into such a horrible habit. It's awful.

On a brighter note, I loved your version of the song and the pictures are amazing! Right on!
