You do know that it was originally done in 1964 by Gloria Jones, right? Soft Cell's cover version was VERY different than the original though. And we have the album in the basement.

You might think that means I'm getting old except that I hated all the music in the Top 40 when I was a teenager too! Here's a group for you to check out: Nightmare of You. They are from Long Island. Beth and I went to a concert to see them a couple of months ago. Beth spoke with Brandon, the lead singer. I spoke with his mom. ;) Here's a YouTube video of one of their songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbLLOezDIJs Tainted Love was a GREAT song.
