Tainted Love!

Here's a little history lesson on one of my favorite songs, "Tainted Love."

But did you know that "Tainted Love" itself was also a remake? Here's the fabylla original by Gloria Jones from 1965:



Among other covers are those by Marilyn Manson and...if you must...the Pussycat Dolls.
