Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease....

Tainted Love este una dintre melodiile mele preferate *my ALL time fav* si m-am bucurat nespus sa o aud saptamana trecuta la Amercan Idol, cantata de catre unul dintre concurentii mei favoriti (imi pare rau ca a iesit din concurs tocmai cu melodia asta).

Melodia este foaaarte veche (inregistrata in anul 1964 de catre Gloria Jones). De atunci, au fost facute multe coveruri dupa ea, insa cele care au atras mai mult atentia sunt ale trupelor Soft Cell (1981) si Marilyn Manson (2001).
