Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Soft Cell [Marc Almond & Bronski Beat] performing their rendition of Gloria Jones 'Tainted Love' in honor of the fact that on September 5, 1981 - Soft Cell were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with their version of 'Tainted Love.'"

''Tainted Love'" written by Edward C. Cobb
Gloria Jones recorded two versions of "Tainted Love": in 1964 (as
Lyrics
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love

Don't touch me, please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go

Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh)

Touch me, baby, tainted love
Touch me, baby, tainted love
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love (oh)

Tainted love
Tainted love

LTC Stephen F. I have to chuckle at my kids (in their 40's) who complained about "their songs being remade". So little do you know children. Some remakes are better, although it is hard to admit.

Many remakes are much better than lip-synch my friend SGT John Graham IMHO :-)

I can believe it! It got a lot of airplay on the radio in the 1980s but not so much anymore.
