I’d love to sing this for my buddies sometime—make it nice and weird—but the COWARDS that run the karaoke chains never have the objectively best Soft Cell song. I have to fall back to Tainted Love for the thousandth time.

Oh man.
Todays a great day for this.
Forget “Tainted Love”.
Great song, yes, but put it aside for a moment.
This album has always been about the absurdity of “Sex Dwarf”. That song is so brilliantly absurd, that it cannot be ignored.
I saw in my feed this morning that somebody posted a single of it, and it reminded me how long it’s been since I’ve heard this #80s pop masterpiece.
