127. Soft Cell - Tainted Love

Found On: Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (1981)

Did you know that this was a cover? The original was by a British lady named Gloria Jones and came out in 1964! Add that to the fact that the single version was a medley with a Supremes song, and it all fits.

By the way, could they have found a less flattering picture for that album cover? I always thought Tears For Fears was clearly the winner of the homliest synth duo award, but I now revise my opinion.
