-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y...

[@scottmarleneking6298]

There's a longer version that direct-segues into "Where Did Our Love Go". Adds a little more to the overall song.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

It adds alot more. Much better than this version.

[@mikemoroney5204]

There was also a dance club version called Tainted dub.

[@visaman]

​@@mikemoroney5204I had the 45

[@twofrenchbears]

Epic version. Love that band so much. Marc Almond is a sweetheart. Great on stage.

[@luluadapa5222]

Genuinely the best version.

[@susanaltman5134]

This song was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964 and incorporates The Supremes Where Did Our Love Go? from the same year. Fantastic update of 1960's R&B/Motown. It's time to do some Supremes! P.S. I also recommend the Donny Eldridge version of Where Did Our Love Go? from the early 1970s)

[@simonspeak9288]

And Gloria Jones was driving the Mini when it crashed into a tree, killing her boyfriend Marc Bolan in 1977. She was also a T.Rex backing singer.

[@MartyGlenn72]

That would be Donnie Elbert

[@garymcghee2249]

[@lawrencekelli]

Amazing! She is such a fantastic singer! I let everyone know that this is the original.

[@paulcollinsyoga]

Listen to it again and let the song naturally flow into the next one, "Where did our love go". The two songs are meant to be listened to together. Soft Cell exploded onto the scene in the early 80's. Great stuff.

[@oaf-77]

Yeah, I never heard them separated.

[@blitztim6416]

That was on the 12” single.

[@Lonejustice1]

I told them there were two parts.

[@GaryColemanNC]

Please!

[@MiamiBeachNativeInNYC]

That’s only on the 12” single…on the album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret it’s just this shorter version by itself & a shorter separate version of “Where Did Our Love Go?” appears by itself on the next album Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing

[@mikedellinger872]

HUGE hit. The full-length version is worth a listen.

[@mattdepinto7959]

Tainted Love became a major hit in the US during the Second British Invasion, with the song spending a then-record breaking 43 weeks on the US Billboard Hot 100. It was everywhere!

[@throwabrick]

Gotta say, you missed a trick by not listening to the extended version where they switch into a slinky cover of "Where did our love go?" by the Supremes, but glad you got to this one. It was the biggest hit when I was in Junior High.

[@MacTopher]

They didn't write this, it's another 60s R&B cover

[@SC-gp7kt]

It is the best part of the song.

[@throwabrick]

@@SC-gp7kt Anyone who loves electronic dance music should love the playful ending of this track. :)

[@user-lg2jm9zg6l]

In a different 80's vein, you should hit Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out." Even though I don't have any clear memories of listening to it as child, it still induces nostalgia like nothing else. Very interesting composition, too.

[@flubblert]

Great song!!

[@gideonrafael]

Totally on the soundtrack of my high school life!

[@truthdweller3454]

Love it

[@pmccservices]

Yes, fantastic song they would probably love all the musical elements in it

[@GT-mq1dx]

Just telling my wife how even though it was a great song I hated it because it was overplayed on radio and tv. I thought some of his other songs were better but that’s just me. Is She Really Going Out With Him, I’m The Man, It’s Different For Girls, just to name a few.

[@steve8510]

The clubs, the dancers, the fashion... you had no idea you were having the time of your life because you thought it would last forever.

[@Howdyall]

My sentiments exactly.

[@submandave1125]

Alex’s 180 on the ‘80s is a guilty pleasure to this guy who used to dance to all these at the club.

I've been waiting for him to come around!!😂

[@richardbray6454]

Originally recorded by American singer Gloria Jones in 1964,actually,it was a B-side to her 1965 song,"My Bad Boy's Comin' Home",which was a commercial flop,failing to chart in the USA &:UK,it became a Northern soul classic in the UK,in the early 1970s,Northern soul music was made up of mainly obscure motown music,in 1973,a British DJ whilst on a trip to America,purchased "Tainted Love",& brought it back with him,hence becoming a big hit on the Northern soul club scene,The Northern soul clubs were based in in the North of England,for example,Wigan casino,which was the most famous club of them all at that time & regarding Gloria Jones,she re-recorded "Tainted Love" again in 1976,& once again,it failed to chart,Gloria Jones was the Girlfriend of British Glam rock star Marc Bolan,& she was the driver of the mini car that tragically killed Marc Bolan on September 16th 1977,aged 29,in Barnes,in South West London,he was killed instantly,she survived with a broken arm & jaw,they had a son together,named Rolan Bolan in 1975

[@BrendaChristensen]

My friend, Gloria Jones (widow of Marc Bolan of T. Rex) sang and recorded the original in the 60s. Soft Cell covered it. Go see her original version on YT.

[@bensweiss]

And the original is so much better.

[@personalcheeses8073]

She was driving the car!

[@PhilMasters]

@@bensweissEverybody who covers this song brings their own personality to it. You can’t really compare them.

[@bensweiss]

@@PhilMasters And that personality to their version can be critiqued.

[@tylerhackner9731]

80s synth classic, absolutely love it

[@valuman1]

You guys blew it. This song flows into another jam, where did our love go, and they are always played together. I’m bummed!

[@theplanetruth]

No one told them…

[@daveg7896]

I didn’t even know there was a shorter version

[@genny5309]

I hope they’ll check that better version out.

[@ballyastrocade5672]

@@daveg7896 This is the *original* version, from the "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret" album. "Where Did Our Love Go?" was originally just the non-album B-side of the "Tainted Love" single; it wasn't even on the album itself. The 4-minute version where one segues into the other was a radio edit; it only existed as a promotional copy sent out to radio stations by Sire records. There was also an 8-minute "dance mix" released as a 12" single.

[@punjabi49]

The longer version is phenomenal.

[@batmanforpresident9655]

This song is one the highlights of the 80's. There is another version where they brilliantly incorporated The Supremes classic "Where Did Our Love Go" into the end of the song. "The Days Of Pearly Spencer" and a great duet with The Pet Shop Boys "Purple Zone" are other good ones by them.

[@NikkiAnne422]

This song always takes me back to mid-80s... I was 9, 10, 11, 12 when I was ice skating at a rink in Torrance, that then used to be called Olympic Ice Arena. They had a juke box and I would always play this song and choreograph my own routines to it. 💕 Good times. 😊

[@gailwebster6653]

This was the best song of my teenage years along with Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.Thw 80's were THE best times to be alive,

[@TracyVoD]

Great reaction and I agree with others that the longer version that flows into "Where did our love go?" is superior. Soft Cell were great but I also enjoyed the version Mark Almond of Soft Cell did with the underrated Gene Pitney of "Something's gotten hold of my heart".

[@johndixon4115]

Bruce Hornsby and The Range :"The Way it Is". From the 80's. killer piano and message

[@blakerh]

Best 80s song!

Iconic cover of an obscure original. Love or hate, a recording that you had to hear for a music bucket list.

[@cacu3989]

YES!! So much more enjoyable to watch.

[@patrickcampion7966]

This was all over the radio, and therefore our junior high dances, when it came out. This was the very sound of pop radio in the very early eighties. It very much spoke to my 14-ish year old self at the time.

[@mikeymckinnon5778]

Few suggestions for more 80’s synth classics: •Visage, Fade To Grey •Bronski Beat, Smalltown Boy •Eurythmics, Sweet Dreams

[@sanjnandh]

There was some Great British synth-pop in the 80s and this is one of the best from that period. So many others such as ‘Being Boiled’ by The Human League, ‘Vienna’ by Ultravox and ‘Are friends Electric’ by Tubeway Army. It’s too late for Halloween, but ‘Martin’ by Softcell is a scary song 😱.

[@rosariccardo3529]

I love Vienna

[@nigeljames5622]

Martin is awesome song that was a part of Soft Cell's best album 'The Art Of Falling Apart' which included so many amazing songs, top of which are 'Baby Doll' and 'Heat'

[@nigeljames5622]

@@rosariccardo3529 Still cannot believe that Vienna was help of the number one spot by that dreadful one hit wonder by Joe Dolce 'Shaddap a Ya Face' What a travesty

[@flubblert]

Great hearing this iconic 80's song again but yeah... the second part is missing. It transitions into "Where Did Our Love Go" the way Floyd's "Brain Damaged" flows into "Eclipse". You just don't want to break them up. Surprised at the high marks. Boy have you guys come a long way!!

[@8fran08-47]

Being an OG my standout memory of this song is from the movie, The Coneheads. SNL was huge and one of the reoccurring skits was an alien family stranded on earth and the stelthy earthling name they thought of described the shape of their none earthling heads, hilarious!😂 Short story long, not having conquered earth when they are finally rescued, dad Conehead (Dan Aykroyd) has to battle the most dreaded beast on the planet in a death stadium watched by his peers for failing the mission. The penalty announcement echos ....from the ominous silence that followed.... Dad's shaky, conehead, monotone voice rings out "SOMETIMES I FEEL" "LIKE I SHOULD, EEP, EEP" "GET AWAY!" etc. etc. In the movie theater it was brilliant. AGR Gents 🤙😎

[@MurrRockstroh]

Blue Monday by New Order (The reformed Joy Division after the lead singer committed suicide).... That's where you go next. That's the definitive 80's club anthem. Seriously you two need to hear it.

[@okpainter9700]

I will now have this song in my head for at least a week . Happens every time I hear it lol

Tainted Love is a cover of an USA soul single. Composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of American group the Four Preps, which was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964.

[@blitztim6416]

Marc Almond, the singer, also did a great a great cover of ‘Something’s Gotten Hold Of My Heart’ written by Burt Bacharach. Cool song.

I’ve got the popcorn ready to kick back and watch Alex’s reaction to this 🤣

[@DazzleMonroe]

Many years ago, while living in London, I found myself in a group of people being led around the late night bars in Soho by Marc Almond. I was actually worried that I wouldn't survive to the next day. I was still dancing at 6am, and in work at 8am. Didn't get much done that day

[@sallybannister6224]

Brilliant memory brilliant reading . Thanks

[@petermizon4344]

ALSO THE GLORIA JONES VERSION WAS BIG IN UK IN NORTHERN SOUL SCENE

[@FesterSilently]

Welp, as many others have mentioned: you gotta hear the "full" song, which is actually this track flowing into their cover of "Where Did Our Love Go?". It's a whole vibe. :) Alsoalso: the Marylin Manson (mid-1990s) cover is a fucking BANGER.

[@Music-el7if]

This song and I Ran are both absolute bangers and yet both pale into complete insignificance next to Blue Monday which is simply one of the greatest records ever made

[@janetroberts3202]

Totally!! Love New Order.

[@cucamongaphilips]

Lol. I read Blue Monday and got it mixed up with Blue Morning Blue Day by Foreigner. So I googled it, thinking it was a cover. That was an unexpected listen.

I was waiting for the transition into baby, baby where did our love go? I only hear that version!

[@AnthonyMinsky]

Wanted the long version. They should always check for those. They did the same thing with ‘Love is like Oxygen’, AND ‘Crimson and Clover’

[@anneking4656]

I remember seeing a commercial (maybe early 90s) where a surgeon was operating on a guy, and they had a heart monitor connecting to the patient. It was beeping to the rhythm of his heart, and suddenly the heart monitor machine started beeping to this song! It was so funny! Those synth beeps do sort of sound like hospital equipment… I don’t remember what the ad was for, but I think about it every time I hear this awesome song…😊😊

[@KeithDCanada]

I'd kind of like to hear what they think of Wang Chung's "To Live & Die In L.A.", or "Praying To A New God"

[@chompypunk890]

Wow!! This 80s tune is soooo cool!! But you must listen the long version with "Where did our love go?" at 1 to 3 a.m. with headphones, on your bed,....Aaaaahhh,... So intrigating stuff! 🤤🤤🤤

If you want to hear an awesome song from Soft Cell, listen to "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" 👋 A lesson in self-respect.

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

This song was also in the Coneheads movie. This song was very popular in the 80's.

[@JeffTaylor-tr7my]

My best memory of hearing this is during the costume contest at DragonCon in Atlanta. A lone guy is rolled onto the state dressed up as Christopher Pike in the wheelchair look from the Menagerie episode from the original Star Trek. Just him alone on the stage and then this starts playing. Then the lights on his chair start to beep to the punch beat. When the chorus the head starts to slowly bob from side to side to the beat. Then funniest costume I have ever seen.

[@erikjeffreys2144]

Both songs need to be played TOGETHER. One goes into the other... "Tainted Love" and "Where Did Our Love Go". Kinda like Queen's "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions"

[@michaelknight2118]

S tier for me boys. This is one of those songs, first time, I love it. Fun fact its played at a museum in Germany on Gay issues. Strong song.

[@bradparnell614]

This is my all time favorite cover. As a teenager in the 80s I didn't know this was a cover back then but since I learned it was a cover I've felt it one of the best all time, right up there with the Beatles' Twist and Shout. There's actually a longer version that ends with the Supremes' Where Did Our Love Go.

[@sworntoavenge]

Please listen to the version that goes into "Where did our love go " improves it so much imo

[@agemoth]

'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' is another belter from them!

[@agentsculder2451]

For me it's all about that heart monitor beeping in the background. It just makes the song.

[@Jontor11]

I think this song has the record run of the 80s for being on the Billboard for like 43(?) weeks. The Americans never got the synth vibe that was going on in Europe at the time, this song is one of the exceptions, maybe THE one. The singer Marc Almond don't show off that much in this song, but he really was(is) one of the best vocalists of that era. I still think it's a crime that Ultravox never charted in the US, when Duran Duran did.

[@johndef5075]

Vienna is such a great song.

[@SavoyBRG]

Alex, this was written back in 1964 and originally sung by a woman, Gloria Jones. She was Marc Bolan's girlfriend and she was driving the car when Bolan was killed in a crash

[@nyrocks5580]

Great stuff. It was in constant rotation for a long time on the radio and the first year of MTV (my first year of college). As mentioned many times here already, the longer version elevates it considerably, so it bears repeating!

[@manceltate5648]

After watching many of Andy & Alex's reviews, I totally appreciate their opinions. This senior citizen (76) really likes their videos.

[@TheDameduck]

This song was such a jam for me when I was a freshman in college. It was a huge hit and a necessary listening step to begin a night of partying! I’m so glad you got to it, but as everyone else is saying, the version that flows into “where did our love go “ is the one to listen to.

Brings me back to early high school. This was all over radio then in the early 80s.

I was a nightclub DJ when this came out and I wore out 2 12 inch vinyl records of this playing it at least twice a night when I was on. It went well with blue Monday from new order our friends electric from Gary Numan, living on the ceiling by Blancmange, can't get enough from Depeche Mode, Planet Earth from Duran Duran and to cut a long story short from Spandau Ballet.

[@troyv8302]

I haven't heard this song in probably 30 years and I still knew it word for word. It was played so much when it came out, it just permeated the mind I guess.

[@raymondmassie4898]

Came out in 1981, a song of my adolescence. Loved this whole album

[@tgforty5]

Many have already mentioned that this was a cover of an R&B song by Gloria Jones from 1964, but how many knew that this song was written by Ed Cobb.....a member of the Four Preps? Ed also wrote "Dirty Water" for The Standells, a garage-rock classic. Not bad for a clean-cut preppy guy!

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

This is Soft Cell's 1981 new-wave cover of Gloria Jones' 1964 "Tainted Love," which has a Motown kinda vibe. Check out Gloria's version for comparison. The lyrics and message are simplistic because it dates back to the 1960s and is like an R&B girl group type of song reminiscent of that era.

[@barbaradawdy6317]

Late 70s, early 80s, every bar I went to had this playing on the jukebox

[@Serai3]

I had the 12" extended single of this song. The vinyl was yellow, to match the cover. On that disc, "Tainted Love" segued into "Where Did Our Love Go?" It made a really good pairing.

[@rebeccalipps23]

Oh, yeah, fellas! A favorite of mine from the early 80s & the 2nd British Invasion. It was featured in the movie "Coneheads", too.

[@carla68]

A couple others from the same era with a similar sound. (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League, and my personal favorite, Obsession by Animotion. Also the best performance of Tainted Love is in the movie Coneheads.

[@mscommerce]

My respect for Andy and Alex's musical ear, already high, went even higher when they handed out an 'S' for this (and that too with just half the track) and an 'S' for 'I Ran (so far away)' despite their general dislike many an '80s track. That's two professional, dispassionate pairs of ears, that can pick up on excellence regardless of personal preferences. ❤👍👍

On a roadtrip to SF with the old man in the summer of '82, we went for dinner at the original Hamburger Mary's and got seated at the counter across from the grill, where all of the kitchen crew were dressed in kinkwear...and then this came booming out of the house P.A., which pretty much threw the place up for grabs, starting in the kitchen

[@jaquettajones]

Marc Almond's TEARS RUN RINGS is an underrated 80's MASTER PIECE! Bummer you guys chose the partial version of Tainted Love.

[@catserver8577]

I always try listening to this whenever I come across it because I have an unjustified hate for it. When it first came out, I remember some upstairs neighbors had this long, loud party. In the early morning hours, someone fell asleep up there with this 45 on the turntable, and it played literally for at least four hours, top volume. I was just a kid, and I was so sleep deprived from it I finally pounded on the steam pipes until someone eventually woke up and shut it off. I think I slept til noon that day, lol. It was stuck in my head for....well. it's still stuck there, actually. Nice to see it from people's experience who have never heard it before. Still kind of wish I hadn't, but getting closer to desensitizing myself. When it starts, my lizard brain actually shouts OMG NOT AGAIN. lol

...and just like that, I'm 10 and dancing around my bedroom. I love this as much now as I did way back then. Thanks, guys.

[@melissayost4888]

Soooo much cardio! Bunches of cool really worthy dance music. So much of New Wave is meant for dancing. Some bands go on to write fantastic non New Wave music. The bands followed the trends in the 80s but were capable of so much more.

[@keithwilson1554]

The vocal is the instrument that carries the song

[@JimRobinson-colors]

I do appreciate that you guys pick up the lyrics. I think that the narrative is describing what and when love was tainted. And high school is probably where it happened for the song writer.

[@fleurdelis2976]

This song reminds me of my best friend in Junior High. It was so popular then and we listened to it all of the time. I found myself singing along and still remembered all of the lyrics. I haven’t thought about that friend in years so video took me back to that time in my life.

[@kellypierce81]

This is one of those songs where all 3 versions of it are equally brilliant! The original Gloria Jones version, Marilyn Mansons cover and this one of course, all brilliant in their own distinctive ways

[@philgrossman660]

"Tainted Love" is a song composed by Ed Cobb, formerly of American group the Four Preps, which was originally recorded by Gloria Jones in 1964. It actually rocks btw. But Soft Cell REALLY could be said to be the definitive version. Even 42 years after, it is SOOOOO good. As other people have mentioned, the segue (on the 12", which I have) into "where did our love go" is legendary.

[@orange222...]

You probably heard rihanna's SOS, where this is sampled liberally. You missed the best transition with where did our love go

Great song but it was so overplayed back then I got sick of it 😂. I'd like to see them react to Wang Chung's Dance Hall Days. It is a banger of a tune but also the creepiest ever lyrics 😳 (speaking as a woman).

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

The original by Gloria Jones is a staple of ( what British dance enthusiasts ( in 70s and ongoing) named) “Northern Soul” . Northern Soul is characterised by great thumping dance tracks many of which were non-hits ot minor-hits in US so got a second life.

[@surlechapeau]

A&A, you'd like their "Bedsitter" !! I hope you do version that seques in to "Where Did Our Love Go"!!! That's how we normally heard it.

The song was originally recorded by Motown artist, Gloria Jones. She was dating Marc Bolan of T-Rex and driving the car when it crashed into a tree and Bolan was sadly taken too soon. They had a son together.
