Best version of this I've ever heard...and I've seen Marc Almond sing this live! (and as a die-hard T-Rex fan I've also heard Marc's widow Gloria Jones sing it too!)
Absolutely perfect feel for the uptempo take on this song. Heard this at work and ran to the back room to read the display on the jukebox/satellite. Flawless timing.
The more I listen to Imelda, the more I love her singing. I'd never have clicked on this track if it wasn't for her. Imelda has a rare ability to make just about anything sound great. Dublins finest!
Sometimes I feel I've got to, run away I've got to Get away, from the pain you drive into the heart of me The love we share seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light 'cos I toss and turn I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you, now I run from you This tainted love you're given I give you all a girl could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Oh…Tainted love Tainted love Now I know I've got to, run away I've got to Get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right You need someone to hold you tight And you think that love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way Once I ran to you, now I run from you This tainted love you're given I give you all a girl could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Oh…Tainted love Tainted love Don't touch me please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you but you hurt me so So I got to pack my things and go Once I ran to you, now I run from you This tainted love you're given I give you all a girl could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Oh…Tainted love Oh…Tainted love Oh…Tainted love Oh…Tainted love Can't touch me with Tainted love I don't want this Tainted love Get out with Tainted love Oh Oh
aw i love imelda may and wats good about her is that shes not trying to be all glamorous she is just being who she is :) makes me proud to be Irish :):):D
This is a great mash of styles here -- rhythm track based on the original 1964 version by Gloria Jones, with bits and pieces of Soft Cell in it, mashed with her own unique style of vocal. To old ears like mine, it's not new music, but a spectacular interpretation and combination.
There are almost no bad covers of this song! I listened to all of them on youtube and the only bad one is the pussycat dolls version. This is pretty good! I love Tainted Love! :)
FINALLY a good cover!!! XD along with SOFT CELL of course.... wow there are so many covers of this; Pussycat Dolls Marilyn Manson Imelda May Gloria Jones (original) Soft Cell ... but this is actually too countrified for me.... -_-
Soft Cell's version of this was also a cover. The original was the B side of a flop 45 by Gloria Jones. The original is available here on UA-cam. And yeah, Imelda showed that this song is best as a rockabilly song.
Amazing! Would love to hear this slow, smokey voice - jazz club style...😊
Marta y Natalia reinas de la vida
Best version of this I've ever heard...and I've seen Marc Almond sing this live!
(and as a die-hard T-Rex fan I've also heard Marc's widow Gloria Jones sing it too!)
insane frckn guitar.
she my fav diva these days. old school
Don't you just love the way she makes song she sings her own. Truely an artist.
Absolutely perfect feel for the uptempo take on this song. Heard this at work and ran to the back room to read the display on the jukebox/satellite. Flawless timing.
my dad introduced her to me, she's brilliant and this cover is the second best, second only to Soft Cells cover!
SE VIENE UNA PEDAZO DE ACTUACIÓN
uno de los pocos covers k superan a un original...!!!
Al original sí. Al cover de Soft Cell NO
The more I listen to Imelda, the more I love her singing. I'd never have clicked on this track if it wasn't for her.
Imelda has a rare ability to make just about anything sound great.
Dublins finest!

The best cover of this song i've ever heard.

i love MMs ver but gotta admit imelda you rock x
She IS amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I feel I've got to, run away I've got to
Get away, from the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light 'cos I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you're given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh…Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to, run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think that love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you're given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh…Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you but you hurt me so
So I got to pack my things and go
Once I ran to you, now I run from you
This tainted love you're given
I give you all a girl could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh…Tainted love
Oh…Tainted love
Oh…Tainted love
Oh…Tainted love
Can't touch me with
Tainted love
I don't want this
Tainted love
Get out with
Tainted love
Oh
Oh
this is cool...they have infused a great rockabilly vibe into the original Northern Soul spirit of the song
Legend !!

Natalia y Marta OT2018
Imelda makes this song her own, a cracking cover, this girl oozes talent.
I am not a fan of covers alot of the time..but she OWNS this! so good.
When he tainted a love that is pure. Is beyond...

this is a great version...thanks
DAMN ! This song is one of my favorite and this cover is awesome !
best version of this song i have heard
Ashiling Walsh: Only if radio in the USA and Canada can get over pop music and classic rock.
THAT'S how to make NEW music - take a great OLDIE and REBOOT (not do a lame cover of) it! Viva Imelda!!

great version 10/10
great cover!
Rockabilly, you are more than any religion, you are so different, as I can't find words to express it.
Almost even better than the original! Great job, keep it up!
Snappy!
otro tema brillaaaaaaante de imelda!!!!!
¡Viva Artigas!
There are almost no bad covers of this song! I listened to all of them on youtube and the only bad one is the pussycat dolls version. This is pretty good!
I love Tainted Love! :)
Good cover! Very nice sounds!
i like it !
FINALLY a good cover!!! XD along with SOFT CELL of course....
wow there are so many covers of this;
Pussycat Dolls
Marilyn Manson
Imelda May
Gloria Jones (original)
Soft Cell
... but this is actually too countrified for me.... -_-
I thought no version of this song was better than My Ruin's one. Then I heard Imelda's. Jeez, this is so good!
love it LUNA!!!!!
Excellente la reprise!
great arrangement
AWESOME!!!!!!
I thought this would suck and then it started and then I was like WOW
She just goes straight into it 10/10 for passion one hell of a cover....
Amazing
Soft Cell's version of this was also a cover. The original was the B side of a flop 45 by Gloria Jones. The original is available here on UA-cam.
And yeah, Imelda showed that this song is best as a rockabilly song.
Man, really luv this "Lassie"...she kicks arse...Hope her new-n-young child are doing well as I'm a 1st time Grandfather to a young chap myself...
shes unreal
niceeee :]
hola
this is really excellent. The music biz is so pathetic not to have picked her up sooner
Ouais! Elle est super bonne! Différente mais excellente.
In loop
And for those unfamiliar, the original was a motown dance stomper that sounded very much like this without the rockabilly guitars.
I really don't like the original, but I love marilyn manson's and now I can't stop listening to this one :)
Mto bom *-*
brs ??
o/

Nice cover.
Good lawd, she is soooo fine. good band too.
This cover blows the original away.
GOOD GOOD GOOD
not just better than Soft Cell, but also better than the original by Gloria Jones!
Rockabilly ladiest
shes fucking deadly:)
How is this possible: 3 non-voters!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellente reprise rockabilly, dommage, le reste de l'album n'est pas aussi transcendant....Les compositions sont décevantes.
This song is the tits and she does it extra justice!
@deadlybuzzboi For some reason I can't stop laughing at this comment xD
*****
Love è meglio se ne rende
HOLA
+BOM BLUE ke lo ke e elmio
Hey, that bitch just stole Soft Cell's song!
.......
Just kidding ;)
Actually, it was sung first by Gloria Jones back in 1965.
jean claude bourgain My dear friend, just google this word: "sarcasm". You'll be amazed :D
Thank you Neville.....Soft Cell hahahahaha
hey, gloria jones did a pretty good cover of Marilyn Manson's...........................
Gloria Jones original Version ist besser.
