His voice is absolutely amazing, and he is obscenely underrated, but this is most definitely not their best song… This entire album pales in comparison to The Art of Falling Apart & This Last Night in Sodom…

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 yeah just noticed it recently, the one I found was by Gloria Jones. Good music usually gets covers, sad most don't realize it is a cover though.
For me, coming out of rock hair bands of the late 70's, this was the first "new wave" song I recall hearing. It was the first song that was completely different than anything else I had heard and will always be associated with one of the greatest periods of my life!

Not sure why they are regarded as a One Hit wonder - they went on to produce some amazing top songs !! Absolutely loved them and still have some LP's !!!
They have never been regarded as one hit wonders in the UK as they had a number of hits as Soft Cell and then Marc carried on with some stunning hits in the days of pearly Spencer years.
@@ianmediumBad management choices… He was gaining real traction in the US, but his manager cancelled several tour dates in the early 90s, allegedly due to the Los Angeles riots (which was complete bullshit since they ended 3 months before the dates & were cancelled days before scheduled), but I believe it was to prepare for the huge live event in London that was televised… After the LA shows were cancelled, he didn’t get any real radio time, which back then was crucial.
Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away I've got to Get away from the pain that 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 Oh tainted love Tainted love Now I know I've got to Run away I've got to Get away You don't really want it any more from me To make things right You need someone to hold you tight And you'll 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 Oh tainted love 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 going to pack my things and go Tainted love, tainted love Tainted love, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love Tainted love Tainted love Tainted love
This song reminds me of the year I arrived in Sydney, Australia. Wonderful early 80's, I was 21 years old, had a great time in the Night Clubs dancing to this song.
Wow! Just found this after watching a much older version singing. He looks so young! Bet he didn't realise what a fantastic future he was going to have!
danced to this song in the nightclubs in San Jose and San Francisco, Calif back in the 1980's - early 1990's highlight of my life, i was a club kid with my friends from 15 yrs old with fake ID until about 28 - 32 yrs old when we all started to get married. The Goth scene was just starting out, We were into New Wave, Punk, Hip Hop, Goth, now that i am older i appreciated the Goth music alot more. I had a gorgeous punk rocker boyfriend that looked like a cross between Billy Idol and a young Christopher Walkin. Miss those days.
Can't believe that's 40 years ago, I went to ee them end of 1981 in Liverpool, the Empire or Royal Court can't remember which, great days for a 16 year old

John Peel called this the most perfect pop song ever written. The 70s/80s were the best years for pop music, no question.
John peel was clueless, no idea, he even tried to impersonate ray Jackson from landsfarne trying to mimic him playing a mandolin, on rod Stewarts Maggie may he was a clueless fool, 😑
Eh, the 60s were better, this is literally a mid 60s song.
Marc Almond has such a good voice, he's so underrated. I think this was their best song. He looks cool, timeless 🌠
His voice is absolutely amazing, and he is obscenely underrated, but this is most definitely not their best song… This entire album pales in comparison to The Art of Falling Apart & This Last Night in Sodom…
@@xamyx725 Sure. Marc Almond is underrated... Really??? You clearly weren't around in the eighties.
Saw him live as a solo artist. Magnificent in every way

@@xamyx725 I get it. So he's underrated in the US. You might want to mention that next time ;-).
This song never gets boring, it's still sounds amazing in 2021
Still a banger in 2022 too

This song is incredibly infectious and sexy after all these years. :)
I'm from the 00s generation. But in those years I started listening to 80s music of all genres.🎶🎸

You do know Gloria Jones was the original artist, early 1960s. Soft Cell's arrangement is SOOOOO GOOD!
Mee2
Punk and New wave
Marc is too cute! Such a pretty guy and such a passionate and creative genius with his own work. Gorgeous
xD That’s a sweet thing to say but just a heads up, Marc is gay.
@@ItsOlleDilen so? does that make him not pretty or passionate? no
He didn’t write the song
@@ItsOlleDilen nothing wrong with that m8
Well if your bar for pretty guys is that i've got a friend to introduce you to. His name is Luca
'Don't touch me please I cannot stand the pain...' Great line in a great song. And Marc Almond, what a voice. Clear and clean. No vibrato. Timeless.
"Dont touch me please i cannot stand the way you tease."
thats not even the line bruh

This iconic song smashed the dance clubs in the early ‘80s. Night club in Newquay in 1982 opened every night with this hit. Best vacation I ever had.

now THATs funny........

One of my all time favorites. We had such great music back then.
The UK bands had the 80's on lock.
Le top du top de l'année 1981
J'adore trop
Un magnifique morceau
A écouter sans modération
Trop beau
Merci pour ce partage
Marc is so gorgeous. I used to watch the version where he was in the leather cap and vest... bloody dreamy.
I've been looking for that version, can you please direct me to it?
Link to that version
Should get your eye's checked.
@@inspiringminds7284 , and testosterone, too.....
@@googoo-gjoob some men are so insecure
Glorious. Absolutely beautiful
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away from the pain that 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
Oh tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want it any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'll 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
Oh tainted love
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 going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love
Tainted love, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Uh... k.
Um. No one needed this
Don't mind if I do. X
Those were the days. You need to find the song he's singing called 'that dress' I think - amazing 👍
Gracias por Publicar la letra ..Una pregunta es un tema de un pedófilo ?
Brings me back to the early 80's and high school.
This is still my favorite song in the whole wide world. Takes me back to the good old days when I used to get up to all sorts of things LOL
Great Song!!!!!!!!!!😉

Amazing memories of this song! Going to add it to my play list and do a version at some point.
Love this tune😊
So few good songs about painful subjects but this is one of the best.
Remembers seeing 5 secs of this performance in an old best of 80's compilation commercial decades ago!
People keep saying they’re lip syncing (which they are), but that was the protocol on top of the pops

One of the coolest songs ever.
Such a catchy tune. Love this old kind of music.
I have loved this song since I first heard it. Imagine what it could be like if Gloria Jones and Marc Almond (Soft Cell) did a version together?
I believe they did perform it live at a Marc Bolan tribute show…
Love soft cell since the 80s xxxx 💕💕💕
He’s a dream 💭

Thank you so much. It was your rendition of this song that got me hooked to Alternative, opening up my horizons.
In the 80s lip syncing was so obvious but it’s still a good song
I thought I was the only that peeped
YᴇᴇᴍᴏTʀᴀsʜ Hell, have you seen Freddie Mercury in Killer Queen??
Some were better at it than others. Marc was godawful.
FFS enjoy the music.
He likely didn’t care. Marc was part of the early goth/darkwave scene, they didn’t want mainstream success.
Il contrasto tra il presentatore e Marc è impressionante! :-)
Concordo, in Italia Mike Buongiorno, Corrado, o Vittorio Salvetti presentavano all epoca Ivan Cattaneo, o la prima Rettore, Zero, Alberto Camerini..

He’s really pretty, love Marc
Excellent song!
Great tune
🎉🎉 Solo UNA parola....
MITICI... CANZONE TOP OF THE POP
God I love this song. It can easily get stuck in my heas for days
LEGEND !!!!
Tainted Love is a great song it is classic. I was so in love with Marc Almond, gay or not i didnt care. He looks good for his age..
Its not original tho but I agree it is a really great cover.

TIMELESS SONG
I remember being 14 when this was number one. Loved it
Treyarch: *You, Your coming with me.*
Treyarch: Have you even been more famous due to your songs being played in game trailers as remakes?
Soft Cell: No
Treyarch "Would you like to?"
