Tainted Love: Indestructible Song or Bad Music Sunday?

Friends,

Here's another song that may, or may not, be indestructible. Tainted Love seems to be covered, or at least played live, many, many bands. Probably because it's a quick way to get a positive response from an audience. C'mon, who doesn't love Tainted Love? Anyway, what do you think? Is this an indestructible song, like Downtown Train or Seven Nation Army, or is this bad music?

We'll start with the original, move to the one you probably know the most, and go from there...

Gloria Jones


Soft Cell


Marilyn Manson


The Living End


Milk, Inc


Coil


Pussycat Dolls


Pop Stasi
This appears to be some kind of clip or commercial or made for internet hilarity. But, I'm including it anyway.


Shades Apart


The Lost Fingers

It's too bad how many people have "butchered" this song. The writer was Ed Cobb who had thirty two platinum records to his credit and several grammy nominations.
