Tainted Love

Tainted Love
Yep, this is the original version. Here's another song written in the 60s and preformed by a black singer. Gloria Jones did this version, and she's really good. Even the “thump-thump, getaway” is similar to the Soft Cell version.
I really like both versions. Soft Cell's version is slower than the Jones' version. Again, we get those strange 80s sound effects, however they work in this song.
By the way, Bioshock Infinite did a version. I love this version too. I think Fink, from the game, heard Jones' version.
And, let's not forget the Coneheads version.

    Lol, that Adina song is so 90s and I love it. She has a good voice. I love how she made it such a 90s song.

    I totally forgot about this one.


    Sugababes version is newer but has some 80s sound effects. I actually hear some Skullmonkeys sound effects too. I like this version too, it does a have a 2000-ish feel to it.
