The 80's. A time capsule full of great music.
👍👍👍👍👍
Now I do realise I was born in the wrong generation
Love how youve encapsulated it in 7 words

And the 90's acting like they don't know . THE 80' THE GREATEST EVA. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤔🤫🤭
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!
Same here..Been a headbanger all my life but 80s music is still timeless.
I know what you mean, I was 19 in 1982 and the 80's was my decade too with all these awesome artists!
amen .
Hello bro do u know the actor name in this music video I beg you to answer I have a massive headache I searched everywhere without a result
@@AbouCarlos-i5t I think it was John Balance, if I remember rightly
This is the type of song which remains stuck in your head even if you just hear a split second of it
Absolutely!
Y is that tho!?! 😂😂
Because they’re so catchy😂
That's why I'm hear
like brooo 😭
63 yrs old and still love this ❤
I can't live without 80s music.
I can if you give me 70s music
you might gonna listen Gloria Jones (original) version
I love this song !!
megan grace same bro
Life support 👍
This song always guaranteed a crowded dance floor! Loved the 80s ❤
Looks like those ET chicks were up to no good with him 🇦🇺👌
I pretty much despised disco but loved club music! Entirely different vibes and sounds!
it sounds like walking into an early 1980s arcades and you hear this song of an arcade building
Best seller in 1981
This version is fantastic, but the song itself was written and recorded in 1964. It's just good
Memories of being with my mates in a house in 1981 having a good time.
I was 17 and had long hair and rock clothes when I heard this, and I liked Marc's voice.
I didn't know it was a cover version, and for me it's the definitive rendition.
Part of the soundtrack of my youth, thank you Soft Cell.
Hello Mark, Shane, Hutch, Yoghurt and Steve.
Reminds me of so many memories from the 80's. They don't make music like this anymore !!
1:50 "Don't touch me" , few seconds later 2:18 "Touch me Baby"... WANT DO YOU WANT, DECIDE YOU !!
Diablos señorito! 😂😂

Feminism in a Nutshell
Here now 2021. 52 years old. My daughter turns 16 tomorrow. I was there back in the day. Saw mark in concert, blagged my way into clubs at 13/14 pretending to be 18 just so I could dance to this music.
I’m so grateful I experienced this era. Amazing times.
I was a punk, gothic and enjoyed every minute of it.
Live life as it’s fleeting xx
13 and passed for 18? Awesome, you must have been very convincing!
53 and my son is 19. Like you, I can feel it. Only, they don't seem the same, do they ? Time tarnishes everything. Love to you and your family.
Same story here. My friend and I were given a full reel of Ticketmaster BLANK Tickets in the 80s (our mutual friend stole the reel when he got fired from a record store). We went to a Salvation Army and bought a digital typewriter (remember those?) and with it, we could change fonts and font sizes and very easily forge tickets. We went to every show in Metro - Detroit (and even out of state and across the bridge/tunnel in Canada) from 1985 to about 1995. We had such an amazing time. Too many shows to even list. Soft Cell was one.
Hey brother, 52 and 2 kids, 16 and 18. Feels like an age ago!. Take the memories and enjoy the today's!. Wunderbar!!!
Best wishes for everything from Italy 🇮🇹🌼

Love this song. Saw a french girl dancing to it once in UK she just nodded her head but looked fabulous, that was 40 years ago and I still remember the song and her dancing, It was wonderful. God bless her.
.
It was me😱😱😱I swear😱
Ah the human experience
If all she was doing was nodding her head it's because French people are notoriously bad dancers. But if she charmed you, thats all that counts.
"Once I ran to you now I run from you" resonates hard with me
Hello how are you doing
The emphasis is all wrong. The contrast is between "to" and "from", not "ran" and "run".
@@c.y.hollander5592 I thinm they are emphasizing the way, not when.
@@trenrede That's what I mean. The point is that I used to run toward you but now I run away from you.
If the words were spoken, the strongest stresses would be placed on "to" and "from" ("Once I ran *to* you; now I run *from* you"), to emphasize what has changed. Unfortunately, the musical beats land on "ran" and "run" instead, which doesn't make sense from a prosodic perspective.
@@c.y.hollander5592 sorry, your wording confused me cause I was not thinking well, sorry.
Nothing will and ever beat the 80 songs
This is not an 80s song
@@RDOCrewCoemsThe original is from the 60's but this is an iconic 80's cover
So true
i can’t believe this masterpiece turns 40
It's actually older, the original was sung by Gloria Jones
Actually turning 57 years old I so believe? Originally done by Gloria Jones who became Mrs Marc Bolan!
@@stuartlydes-uings1876 No she wasn't. They were romantic partners, not husband and wife.
Surprisingly this song still sounds very modern. when I heard it in a different channel, where there was no description about the song at all.. I thought it would be made by some modern artist, mimicking the 80s style. and here I was wrong, it's literally a 80s song
It will next year, well soft cells version
Best song ever in NYC in the early days!!!!!!
EVEN IN OHIO LOL
More than 40 years after the song topped the charts, it still thrills me!
Compared to this rubbish these days I'm not surprised mate 👍 things weren't broke so why are they tryna fix them. Bring back proper music
Have you heard the version by Gloria Jones from 1965?

this has some major "woke up at midnight and you cant fall back to sleep so you just wait until the sun rises" vibes and i am so here for it

According to Britney Spears's book, she was listening to Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love' and fell in love with the sound of that song the night before they recorded '...Baby One More Time'.
I love this. Britney is so cool.
Cool story. Britney didn't write that song.
"...Baby One More Time" is the debut single by American singer Britney Spears from her debut studio album of the same title (1999). It was written by Max Martin and produced by Martin and Rami.

You are the reason there are children without dads. You are just a coward. Nothing to be proud of.
The 1980's were the best of times.Great music,no social media,just friends,music and good times.
The best of times for everyone except gay people, people of color, most women..and..and…
Wish I was born back then sounds better than the mess the world is in now
Spot on what great times so much musical variation 👌
I disagree it was definitely the 90s
r/lewronggeneration
As someone who was fairly young when this was a hit, thinking 80s music wasn't very good, compared to now it's absolute brilliant!
This is why I love my 80s music. Songs like this is just one of many great songs

In fact, the original version is from 1964.
@@flaviamodearaujo8147 That's why they say it's a cover
Yes, one of those rare ones where both original and cover are great.
I didn't know ti was a cover. Thanks.
Back to 1981!great song.In my country the Netherlands also a big hit song.
Ceci n'est pas la version de 1981.
La version originale est bien meilleure.
I got my first job in advertising as an art director in the early 80's and at my first big fashion shoot for a big jeans company the photographer put on an extended club mix disc of this and my God we all worked like we were on fire. The models, the assistants and yes, it turned out absolutely incredible. A month later seeing my billboards up all over the city - and all over the country - from that shoot I, well, it was magical. Viva los 80's!
Great story, thanks for sharing
It's a good way to get your models in the groove and present and not so mechanical. Good music does that just like when you work out listening to a banging music.
The 80's remixes are the best. Think of all the Depeche Mode and New Order songs.
Do you work for a big company now? I would love a job in modeling
@@keilaroman6660 Not any more! I'm retired now.
I was 8 and my mum gave me an mp3 player, it was the first piece of technology I ever owned, this is one of the songs she gave me, still one of my faves.

@@vertsang5424 👍👍
his only good song
"Tainted Love" is one of those songs that connects you directly to the 80s, but then again sounds like it was produced yesterday 👍. It is also, in my opinion, one of those cover versions that doesn't need to hide from the original.
Hello how are you doing ?
I asked my mom if she knows this song, fr after the first two tones/sounds she exactly knew this gem. love u mom
Fond memories of the first time I heard this song. It was 1981 and there were 5 of us on the way to the midnight showing of The Holy Grail. Tainted Love came on the radio and none had ever heard it. Two of the guys started hassling the driver to change the radio station because it was too soft for their liking. The driver liked it, an argument ensued then the two guys got dumped off in a dark part of town with nothing around. We continued onto the theatre when the driver realized that he'd probably get booted out of our boarding school. We sped back, picked them up, dropped them off at our dorm then made it to the movie before it started. All because of Tainted Love. The song makes me smile everytime that I hear it.

fr most of the songs were top tier@@graveworm1444
This song never gets old
A true iconic 80s song
Ironically, this was set to a 1991 re-recording single.
Has to be up there as an 80s top ten, anyone agree?
I agree, this song along with a lot of The Clash's songs should be up there
It's certainly in that rare category of "Songs about VD that made the Hit Parade"
I have a pretty devious mind and that never occurred to me, more of a love gone sour lament...
This and "Your song" by Oran"juice" jones
Top 100 for sure but IMO there's too much great stuff from the '80s for it to be so high.
That's the voice!
It's not just a song but a masterpiece and a hit. It's pure perfection of music. Who tainted love in 2k24?
Check out the original by Gloria Jones
This was the first song he sang for me in our first night together. It was so fun then, we sang and we danced together. Everyday still danced our way through every corner of our apartments then. Now he’s walked away and this song’s stuck in my mind. He’s an avoidant type, but other than that is the sweetest and most lovable man I’ve known of. I miss him like crazy.
Amazing version! Adore it! One of the best covers of all times!
And one thing that this version has over the original is that at least it's by someone who didn't kill Marc Bolan.

One of the best lyrics ever written.
Unforgettable times the 80s
The 80s time line of music has gotta be one of the best time lines
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away from the pain 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
Tainted love (oh)
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away, I've got to
Get away, you don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you 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
Tainted…
One of the greatest songs every written and perfectly performed, thank you. Helped me through some difficult times xox
I deliberately turned this up as far as it can go in my back garden thinking I can unite my street in good music.
This song has aged wonderfully
This video hasn't
This is the video for the pointless and inferior 1991 remix.
The song is about a toxic relationship, with the singer realizing he's got to leave it. "I love you though you hurt me so," he sings, as he struggles to move on. The song's writer, Ed Cobb, told Blender magazine: "I had a lover for whom you could say wasn't a good individual.
I'm pretty sure he didn't say "for whom."
RIP to the ppl who didn’t know the name of the song so they put “I gotta run away”
i searched: sometimes i feel like i gotta run away
I searched I’ve got to run away I’ve got to get away
im that person
lol it's easy to realize a name of this song because it's repeating many times)
Why rip? If you search that you will still find this song
Those were my university years. This song reminds me of parties, late afternoons practicing swimming... Even the cold water in winter on sunny afternoons, this song reminds me... It seems like it was yesterday, but it's been so long.

The Gloria Jones original is amazing!!!
Remember the good old 1980s when things were so uncomplicated? Brilliant decade for music.
forgot that ELO used that line think it was on ticket to the moon not sure though
It was 1986, I was on holiday in Scotland, went to a disco, as soon as Tainted Love was played the dancing floor was full of people, I'll never forget that experience
I've listened to this song A LOT on spotify, but this is the first time I watch it on youtube, and WOW I missed some stuff by not watching the video... Magic space man, star demons and a VERY hot guy. I've gotta watch it more often now!
Great song. Loved being a teenager in the 80s, such great music ♥️.
