[edit] Soft Cell? Really?

Why, oh why, does it say this song was composed by Soft Cell, when the first recorded version is the real original by Gloria Jones? Grande (talk) 02:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Newformula

I deleted some content relating to a cover band of the same name. I then read the guidelines of wikipedia, realising I probably shouldn't just delete... hence the discussion. This content is not notable, so inappropriate for this page in my opinion. Newformula

[edit] Skinny Puppy

Want to check on this. I can find no evidence of Skinny Puppy actually covering this. The only "version" I have heard credited to skinny puppy I have found to be officially from Deathline Intl. Does anyone else have more information on where this information was obtained, and if the year is correct for the "skinny puppy" deathline cover?

Skinny Puppy didn't cover it, it was a mislabelling on p2p. I've removed this information.23funnel23 16:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] The Cure

Never covered this song, it is a misconception due to P2p mis-labelling.

Indeed, the version that's has "The Cure" as the author on P2P is actually the the Soft Cell version.

[edit] Depeche Mode

Have never covered this song AFAIK.

i think they may have done a cover

who did it then?

depeche mode did a techno mix of the song. dont remember which year.

There is no such thing as a Depeche Mode remix of Tained Love. It's plausible that they may have performed a cover of it live at some point of their career, but this is just pure speculation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.115.62.100 (talk) 14:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

The one I heard that was attributed to Depeche Mode turned out to be Social Distortion, I think. I'm continuing research, since I hate to have mislabeled songs, but it REALLY doesn't sound like Depeche Mode. -Ceol3531 (talk) 18:08, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Singstar

Which cover is the one in Singstar?

[edit] Duplicate

I am almost sure Bad Religion's and Pennywise's versions refers to the same one. I don't know which one is the real, though.

[edit] Ramones

The Ramones have never ever covered this song.

[edit] Alkaline Trio

Another band that has never covered this song, as far as I'm aware. --Hotdoglives 07:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

It says The 2005 Doctor Who episode "The End of the World" featured the Soft Cell cover on a jukebox in the far future. At that time, it was supposed to be classical music. i saw it and i only heared britney spears's Toxic!

[edit] When

[edit] Dubious

When and where The Clash did a cover for this song? This information has been added by User:212.219.204.66 (Talk | contrib) (Revision history of Tainted Love version 14:56, 16 March 2006). It is an IP address registered to Cumbria and Lancaster Education Online and may be shared by multiple users. IMO it is a hoax, but I'm not sure. I made some searches, but I didn't find anything about it. There is a web site (www.blackmarketclash.com) with around all of their gigs and set lists, but "Tainted Love" doesn't exist. —PJoe F. (talk • contribs) 14:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Clash

Did The Clash actually cover this song in concert? Can anyone say right or wrong? A friend sent me an mp3 that he claimed was The Clash covering it, but it was a studio recording. A quick Google search seems to indicate that it is commonly mislabelled, perhaps like the Cure. I don't know for sure either way. Styracosaurus 02:25, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

-Positive they did not cover this song live. Ahubling (talk) 06:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 212.219.204.66 contributions 16 and 30 March 2006

  • 14:34, 16 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Tainted Love‎ ~ he added "*[[The Clash]] ([1983 in music]], [[heavy rock]])" in the Versions section. Hoax???
  • 14:36, 16 March 2006 (diff) Tainted Love‎ ~ he added a square bracket to "1983 in music" wikilink.
  • 14:37, 16 March 2006 (diff) Tainted Love‎ ~ he removed "in music" from the previous.
  • 14:56, 16 March 2006 (diff) Tainted Love‎ ~ he added the line "*It was covered by The Clash but was never released" in Others section! Hoax???
  • 14:56, 16 March 2006 (diff) Tainted Love‎ ~ he added the Wikilink for The Clash.
  • 14:58, 16 March 2006 (hist) ([ diff]) Sean Taylor (American football)‎ ~ he changed the correct born date and location from [[April 1]], [[1983]] in [[Miami]] to "[[January 11]], [[1991]] in [[Carlisle, Cumbria|Miami]]" and added "created the female pleasure system nicknamed the dildo!" in College career section. Hoax!
  • 15:00, 16 March 2006 (diff) Sean Taylor (American football) ‎~ he reverted born date and location.
  • 15:02, 16 March 2006 (diff) Sean Taylor (American football) ~ he added "he is currently developing the male sex toy which will be greatly popular. this will enhance the pleasures of male orgasms with his gay lover, Lee Marshall." Hoax!
  • 15:05, 16 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Lee Marshall‎ ~ he added "Lee Marshall was arrested early this year because of molesting two young shaved pussy asians" in the lead section of that article. Hoax!
  • 13:49, 30 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Royal Mail‎ ~ he substituted the entire lead section with this text: "Royal Mail is a big company with many horses". Hoax!

In conclusion, I think that it was a hoax and the Clash never did a cover for that song. More than 10,000 web pages reports of a Clash version for "Tainted Love" with lyrics, mp3 and more. I dowloaded one mp3 "The%20Clash%20-%20Tainted%20Love.mp3", but it's the Soft Cell version. I hope to be wrong about that! I added a {{fact}} and {{dubious}} templates. —PJoe F.
