"Soft Cell - Tainted Love" Video
Amateur Video
This quite possibly could be the worst video I've EVER watched, I honestly can't think of anything worse right now. I'd rather scrape excrement off the bottom of my shoe than endure the "Tainted Love" video again. I'm serious. Then I realized I was watching the UK version (above), so I actually watched the U.S. version - just as bad if not worse!
"Tainted Love" spent a total of 43 fuckin' weeks on the Billboard Charts. Turns out that this song isn't even original with Soft Cell - it was first recorded by Gloria Jones back in 1964. It has been "interpreted" by a number of other singers and groups, namely Marilyn Manson in 2001 and The Pussycat Dolls in 2005. I find the rest of Soft Cell's output unlistenable.

I used to like this song a lot. After watching that creepy pedophile video, I doubt I will ever enjoy this song again.
