The explanation for why we were hearing old timey versions of modern songs in the game was PERFECT. (Yes, they explain it.) One more great part of a great game.
Let me clear up some things for you people: 1. This song is originally by Gloria Jones, not Soft Cell, not Marilyn Manson. Gloria Jones. 2. This song is a cover of the original, and was made to be sung in a blues fashion, unlike the original song. 3. The reason this song is in 1912 is because Jeremiah Fink was using the Lutece's tear opening machine to seal music from the future so that he could remix it to make sense with the times and then sell it for pure profit. Voxophones for it are in the Good Time Club and in Emporia, in the Magical Melodies store, where Fink's brother Albert worked.
Albert Fink, Jeremy Fink (owner of Fink Manufactering)'s brother, used tears to discover more modern music and used that to become Columbia's favourite songwriter. They actually have a sense-making explanation of the music they use. Thats awesome, thank you Ken Levine!
Is that the music house we discover in the end before assaulting comstocks house where a voxophone says like "i dont know where you get this from". Funny some dude sat and got into tears and basically compiled music from our universe.
That moment when I first heard this and realized why so much of the music seemed familiar, there will never be a feeling like that in another video game for me lol
hearing this song in the bar is one of the biggest mind blowing moments in the game on my 1999 play through i payed extra attention to the songs on the radio to see what other ones i missed
I was really impressed when you come across the red tear playing "our" version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Love", quite late in the game but you hear the 19th century version on the Beach at the start I think.. There are a few tears into "our" World there I think.. Its how Fink gets all his marvels and patents - stealing them from other Worlds!
The one problem with this otherwise spectacular cover is that, by the game's narrative, it's too "coloured" for the people of Columbia. It should sound profane and perverted to them. Of course it doesn't to us in the future.
true, it was a real treat for those of us who grew up with this kind of music. Blew my mind when I heard these. I've loved every cover of this song, even the one by marilyn manson.
Ray Charles was never dead, it was simply through our perspective he was dead. but in the developers of Infinite he was alive recording this song for their game.
Even though Bioshock Infinite's ending prevents ANY....ANY possibility that Bioshock Infinite 2 will ever be made. Hell, I can still replay this game over and over.... and you what? It's worth it.
The music being so out of place in a 1912 setting really adds to the "time-travelling" story arc. Love it when you encounter tears and you hear 80's music.
No, it is the song I was thinking of, but the original Gloria Jones version. I was thinking it would be the Barbershop Quartet doing the Soft Cell rendition of the song.
Alright fink is actually technically innocent with the music, well legally. Because they were made to the public before the songs them selves actually written but in that world they were re-written in 1912 and before so legally the original songs are copyright.
No. He said "where music seemed familiar." Bioshock 1 did not have any old time versions of modern songs. They were real songs that existed during that time. This story element of song covers was only introduced in infinite.
Actually, no, the DLC is just something for fun. Check "Clash of the Clouds" and you see what I mean. Also, "Burial at the Sea" is just a reminder that the Splicers of Rapture were VERY MUCH like the Citizens of Columbia. Bioshock Infinite seem to be an end game for the developers to continue on to System Shock 3. So Bioshock Infinite 2 is supremely UNLIKELY to happen, if not unnecessary like if Pixar made Toy Story 4 after 3 ended perfectly.
All of the songs that appear strangely out of place for the time the game is set in we're essentially plagiarised by the leading composer of Columbia through tears that lead through to the future.
Enough moolah from the honchos can make anything possible. =P But I'd much rather a return to the ocean, than a sequel to Infinite. Infinite completes itself, it doesn't need more story. I'd REALLY like a System Shock reboot, but I'd like it to have more story and less pew pew.
You are wrong both in that Soft Cell didn't sing the original and that this is a cover and not an original version of the song, or in fact even Soft Cell's version.

Thanks, I thought this was the original version. Still, this one is beautiful, any idea of the singer's name?
joffrey jarnias
Miche Braden on vocals, scott bradlee on piano

whoa, Postmodern Jukebox in Bioshock? Granted, it makes perfect sense, but I never made the connection until now!
Ian Mitchell Yeah he did four of the songs this, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, After You've Gone and Shiny Happy People
***** Yeah... no

Love this cover. We need a new bioshock
That moment when I first heard this and realized why so much of the music seemed familiar, there will never be a feeling like that in another video game for me lol
in the tavern in Shantytown. Its basement also has what is one of my favorite moments in the game
Same here. Booker's pretty good at playing a guitar, and Elizabeth is a very very good singer!
It's moments like this that make Bioshock more than just a first person shooter

This is fantastic. Thank you for uploading these!
He's loving it already. I'll get to see it soon :D
It's certainly an amazing. It seems more like a movie at times than a video game. Hope you two enjoy it equally!
I love this game.
Me too :D

It's honestly like watching a movie when you see someone else play it. It's one of the more amazing games this decade!

Albert Fink presents Stained Affection

'60s music
For me the best of this generation
Scott Bradlee on piano; Miche Braden vocals
this is awesome
I actually like this version, the piano and the voice are great for a cover, sounds like it came out 1912.
1:05
"Once I ran from you, now I'm gonna run from you"
Sounds like somebody forgot the lyrics.
No, it isn't. I'm aware of the Gloria Jones original and this is not it.
Bioshock Infinite has got to be game of the year!
I'd love a full version of this... :(
No, it is the song I was thinking of, but the original Gloria Jones version. I was thinking it would be the Barbershop Quartet doing the Soft Cell rendition of the song.

H
In the Finkton slums it plays in the bar
Well this is a lovely cover..
just because it sounds old, it doesn't mean it is, they just made it sound like that
Manson OWNS this song.
This song had that dilapidated, oppressed bar bumping!
Love this so much
Thankfully it was the Gloria Jones version they found, not the Marilyn Manson version
Clearly I need to go back and play again. I've done about three play throughs so far but people keep telling me about shit I apparently missed!
So upset that this isn't on the soundtrack that comes with the songbird edition =(
No. He said "where music seemed familiar." Bioshock 1 did not have any old time versions of modern songs. They were real songs that existed during that time. This story element of song covers was only introduced in infinite.

whatayaDO543 So about Toy Story 4...yea...
Oh yeah, I know what you mean, I remember walking toward the bar and then turning around and saying "Holy shit, is that Tainted Love?! AWESOME!!!!"
Nevermind, could have sworn that I read somewhere that this is the version sung by Ed Cobb, the original writer of the song
I think Girls just want to have fun is my favourite song in the game.
Soft cell doesn't EITHER. It goes even further back than that. Gloria Jones originally recorded it in the 60s.
This version is by Scott Bradlee.
"That's about 52 years before" YOU JUST SAID THAT!
If you're travelling through time to steal songs you are going to make a mistake here and there hahaha
wat you mean
YEAH! PREACH WOMAN!
Great song Great game
You do know that Ed Cobb's did originally composed tainted love only to be covered some many times after that, right?
just because it sounds older doesn't make it older
MrFlockentoast is right. Ed Cobb did compose it, and Gloria Jones was the first one to record it after the Standells rejected Cobb's offer. Fail?
Sorry, didn't notice this earlier. It's now the video response.
All of the songs that appear strangely out of place for the time the game is set in we're essentially plagiarised by the leading composer of Columbia through tears that lead through to the future.
They'll probably just have a different kind of Bioshock, like the relationship between this one and the first.
In Infinite, a button to skip the gameplay would have been a godsend. Good god it was tedious.
Yeah, Ed Cobb composed it and Gloria Jones performed/recorded it.
i came because of ''you look happy'', i think im the only one...
thanks SO much. If you could upload the tune that calls Songbird, I'd call you Father Comstock if you wanted me to.
God I would love a proper recording of this version. Without the fake old-timey record-scratches..
I think she says "now I'm gonna run to you."
They've said that Infinite would not have a sequel.
Can you upload the Songbird whistle song and the sound effects for the siren and boys of silence? :D
wooooooooo!
Not everyone thinks that way. I personally wouldn't, but hey. That's just me. I think it would be an interesting movie.
I very much desire someone to swap this into the original song and upload it, just to see how it sounds.
He sounds so much like Ray Charles!
is there actually a clean version of this song without all the simulated vintage effects?
Enough moolah from the honchos can make anything possible. =P But I'd much rather a return to the ocean, than a sequel to Infinite. Infinite completes itself, it doesn't need more story. I'd REALLY like a System Shock reboot, but I'd like it to have more story and less pew pew.
Because Fink Industries brought throught songs from the future throught tears and made money off em.
Sounds like "from" to me. Even if she did say "to" it would still be wrong because that's not how the song goes.
Gloria Jones performed the song originally. This is NOT Gloria Jones.
This isn't a cover nor is it the song I was thinking of.
I was thinking they might of used Tears to take the song from a parallel universe.
Hmm when did that song play?
Well, going by Infinite's canon, it technically was made in 1912, but if you live in the REAL WORLD...
Can't wait to watch my boyfriend play this! :D
You are wrong both in that Soft Cell didn't sing the original and that this is a cover and not an original version of the song, or in fact even Soft Cell's version.
Can't figure out if troll or fool.
In the end, though, there isn't much of a difference.
Where in the game do you hear this? I wish I'd heard it in game heard other covers but not this.
Gloria Jones :-)
where can i find this in-game?
Why did you get negative votes? I agree, my friends said the same thing when I played the game.
#IWantARemaster
It was earlier, which makes it original lol
How'd you rip the music?
...id this second!
when was this song written?
...Just...Just leave...like right now...
you're not his real mom
No, it is, becouse it was made at 1912, lol
This is actually the original version of the song, not a cover
I thought it´s from Soft Cell originally..
I think it is.
LOOSE THE DLC.
No.
yeah man i hate story and character development too i wish all games had the depth of pac-man
You do realise that this isn't a cover, but the original right? Soft Cell d
That's weird because it's a woman singing.
It's a woman singing...... lol Miche Braden not a man
