We all know "Tainted Love." Most probably became familiar with the song from Soft Cell's undying (undead?) version, released in 1981 and essentially inescapable after that, whether you're at a wedding or a leather bar. Many (younger) listeners wrongly assume it was a Soft Cell original, which isn't the case at all: Motown powerhouse Gloria Jones released her version of the Ed Cobb-penned song all the way back in the heady days of '64. It's since been covered by a whole pop smorgasbord of folks, the most recent big example being Marilyn Manson's 2001 edition (for the soundtrack to Not Another Teen Movie, of all things.) The less said about that the better, especially because Coil did an infinitely creepier industrial cover of "Tainted Love" sixteen years earlier, with the appropriately 80's gothic video accompaniment it deserves. Listen to those spooooky choirs! That dolorous, downtuned church bell! The fucking ten-ton guitar stabs coming down on you like the knife through the shower curtain! This is the "Tainted Love" you should bust out at your Halloween party to properly set the mood.
