Never been a fan of Tainted Love. Lol. Let me suggest one you guy will love… Gold by John Stewart & Stevie Nicks. It’s a fantastic song and I think you all would love it. 😉 Great job guys

@MRoyClark Ай бұрын

This was the subpar remix for their 1991 release. The 1981 original 12" mix that segues with "Where Did Our Love Go?" is the version people should react to.

@sherigrow6480 Ай бұрын

Yes, this

Or go deeper into the 70’s and react to the J. Geils Band version.

Nick is correct. This is quicker than the version that I remember.

@annamariadelillo2916 Ай бұрын

I remember there being a version by Soft Cell where at the very end of Tainted Love, they went right into singing their version of the Supremes’ Where Did Our Love Go? It sounded really good - it isn’t on the version you just played. That version is on KZbin as well.

It isn't the original promo video for this songg by Soft Cell and is a remix version released much later :-)

Fantastic track. Over here in the UK during the Eighties this was huge and was extremely popular, not just with the young but also the parents too. The clubs always played it, the crowd demanded it and the crowd all sang along in unison. Brilliant days and brings back great memories. 😊

All right, guys, here’s what you need to know: The answer to the trivia question WHAT SONG KNOCKED “HEY JUDE” OUT OF THE TOP SPIT FOR MOST CONSECUTIVE WEEKS IN THE BOLLBOARD TOP 300. And you’re correct, the second song, or the addendum was called “Where did our love go?” and was the second half of this double song. TAINTED LOVE/WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO? was only released initially as the TAINTED LOVE half. As it was fading down the charts to its eventual place off the charts, a funny thing happened; it was being played in the dance clubs with WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO? Attached to it, and the “new” double song started its climb all the way back up the charts like 13 months after it peaked. Because it never officially dropped off the top 300, it’s rebound caused it to pass “HEY JUDE” for top all time!

@user-lq4qe7pj9s Ай бұрын

Fun stuff with the one liners from the guys on this video. It seems like there were several "one hit wonder" groups in the "New Wave" era from the early 1980s out of the UK that did covers of 1960s American songs with more updated arrangements. Personally, my favorite from that era is "There's Always Something There To Remind Me" by Naked Eyes. It is simply a very good song and the cover does a nice job of paying homage to the original but also presenting the song in a fresh light. I would strongly encourage that song/version as a future video. Again, good to see "the dream team" back in action as their takes helped make this a very worthwhile video.

@bradparnell614 Ай бұрын

This may be the best cover ever. I put it right up there with the Beatles cover of "Twist and Shout". When this came out I was a junior in high school (at Moore in the 502) and I didn't know for years that it was a cover. Seems Gloria Jones' original wasn't that big of a hit here. It at least didn't get much air play on the oldies stations I listened to back in the day (shout out to WRKA). She ended up singing backup for T. Rex and had a romantic relationship with Marc Bolan with whom she had a son.

@paulwhite7972 Ай бұрын

Yup. The boys were finding the dressing up box. So many massive 80s hits that pushed the gay cause into the spotlight and had a huge influence on the struggle for gay rights. And you didn't have to be gay to enjoy them because they were mostly all total bangers. This is a cover version but check their own song, Say Hello, Wave Goodbye. Top of the lot for me though is The Communards single Small-town Boy. Check it out. It's all in the lyrics, same with Soft Cell. Us straight chaps danced our socks off back then

I didn't know it was a cover. And I never saw the vidoe (not an MTV fan). Thanks for the review. Enjoyed it.

Yep this is the correct speed. But the original has a heavy bass. In clubs the bass was the real hook. This is so high end and tinny it gives the impression of going faster than it really is.

Nick you are right... There is something off about this version/video. This like remastered or something. Not a fan of this version. The original has a song Baby Baby by the Supremes in it. I have never seen the video. The invisible dot guys are creepy. I like the (original) song - super catchy and super 80s. Another song most everyone has heard

oh and yes this version has a more prominent dance bass that the original did not I believe. Over all makes the track way more cheesy

You just love saying the word "TAINT" over and over again, Nick. Maybe some therapy is needed there. 🤔🧐 "Tainted Love" was a humongous hit, both internationally and nationally. (I believe this song was #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for all of 1982. This song reminds me SOmuch of my first semester in high school, cuz that's when the song came-out. (Yes, I'm early-Gen-X.) Loved this song the very first time I heard it, and I've not stopped loving it since then. Even after I became a Metalhead a year and a half later, I have never not loved this song. Still do and always will. ❤ This song became a major gay anthem, too. I absolutely love this song. ❤️

Yeah, the repetitive aspect is what makes it club-worthy, or a "bar song." It was a huge song in its time, not something I'd visit now. By the way, you kept saying "tainted" and all I could think of is "t'aint." Look up the slang of that, you "t'aint" repeaters.
