[edit] Soft Cell version
Soft Cell elected to release it as their third single in August 7th 1981. Produced by Barry Knodle the track was recorded in a day and a half with the run through vocal being used on the released version. Buoyed by the then dominant synthpop sound of the time and a memorable performance on Top of the Pops it rapidly reached number one on the UK singles chart, eventually repeating the feat in 17 territories. The following year it charted in the US eventually reaching number 8 in a record breaking 43 week chart run.

a good song
I love that song. It is broken.
Not the gash and not the bum
a horrorbile song from "soft cell" and so long-
Once I ran to you, now I run from you...One hit wonders are the best.
Not perfect not right.
A song..I like Marilyn Manson's cover ...
Could it possibly be forbidden love.Like an older woman and a young man.
someone whos been tainted with disease sexual disease someone gave them some tainted love..
Soft Cell sang it.. Slum Village rapped about it. Loved both versions.
Tainted love is unpure love.. in other words lust.
Hey watch this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iwKJp31... ) and maybe you'll get the idea of it.
I'm sorry and I'm sleepy as hell and I don't feel like taking the time explaining tainted love to you.=/
A great song in Coneheads!
I say it's love that has something wrong with it (duh) like one person's married or one person is just using the other, something along those lines.
A song by a band whose name I cannot remember at the moment.!!! Soft Cell at last I remembered.!!
Ruined Love too.!!!
nasty stuff,,,,
a song by soft cell
