Tainted Love [Deep Cover]

Yes, Tainted Love is a very Deep Cover. Best known as the signature song of Soft Cell in the 1980's, it was originally recorded by Motown singer Gloria Jones in 1964 and failed to chart in the both the US and UK. Listening to the original it sounds more akin to "I Will Survive" than the Soft Cell version of the same song. Even the trademark "BUM BUM" is barely noticeable.
