This electro-pop duo features vocalist Marc Almond (born Peter Marc Almond, 9 July 1956, Southport, Lancashire, England) and synth player Dave Ball (born 3 May 1959, Blackpool, Lancashire, England) and was formed in Leeds, in 1981. Originally, Almond and Ball teamed to compose music for theatrical productions, and as Soft Cell, their live performances continued to draw heavily on the pair's background in drama and the visual arts. A self-financed EP titled Mutant Moments brought the duo to the attention of Some Bizzare label head Stevo, who duly included their "Girl With The Patent Leather Face" on the compilation Some Bizzare Album and negotiated a licensing deal with Phonogram Records in Europe and Sire Records in the USA. Their debut single, "Memorabilia" More... (Submit New Soft Cell Lyrics) (Submit New Soft Cell Lyrics) Review about Soft Cell Great song | Reviewer: Andrew L. ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell "Tainted Love" is probably one of the most played one hit wonders I've ever heard. It's a teriffic song and a shame Softcell couldn't match it on US soil. I've heard of their popularity across the pond, but not the first one hit wonder to have better luck in England. Awesome song! Beautiful song, straight from the heart | Reviewer: Holly ------ About the song Say Hello, Wave Goodbye performed by Soft Cell A beautiful song about a relationship that has run its course. The singer is looking for more to life than the life he has lived and him and the girl in mention cant make that happen together. The singer, sadly, has to say goodbye for the good of them both. A powerful song about a relationship that brings out the worst. Love this | Reviewer: <3 ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell For anyone that cares or doesn't know ... The original was by Gloria Jones in the 1960's. In the '80's, it was covered by Softcell. And then by Marilyn Manson (with a million other lesser known covers I won't mention). The original was a lot more soulful, but I still love Softcell's. hey anonymous | Reviewer: cheap ------ About the song Say Hello, Wave Goodbye performed by Soft Cell some girls are whores who cheat on their mates....i happen to regretfully be one of those awful people...so if you think its misogynistic---well then you must be a little naive to think that by him saying all he wants is a nice little housewife is putting down women. You see he could choose the beautiful wife-the one he adores-the one he loves-but continually hurts him and cheats on him and at least with that "nice little house wife" he will never have to worry about his heart being broken....that's the story get a sense of humour! | Reviewer: dory bell ------ About the song Say Hello, Wave Goodbye performed by Soft Cell come now, Anonymous, it's meant to be absurdly cruel and bitchy. life would be awfully dull if mean break-up songs had to adhere to standards of political correctness. I say this as a feminist. One of their best | Reviewer: sofalofa ------ About the song It's a Mug's Game performed by Soft Cell Hilarious song from the boys. Funky Soft Cell vibe and great lyrics from Mr Almond. One of my favourite Soft Cell songs... Misogynist crap | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Say Hello, Wave Goodbye performed by Soft Cell It seems likely that this song is meant metaphorically, but nonetheless the metaphor would still be misogynist. "You were a sleep around", "take off that unbecoming frown", "to keep you secret has been hell" ... all of these lines are strictly taken from the aforementioned dust bin of history and a view on women that went mouldy a very long time ago. Not to speak, of course, of the "nice little housewife"... marilyn manson sucks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell dumb ass this song is originally by gloria jones not fucking marilyn manson.lear your facts dumbass bitch who thinks marilyn manson is the ONLY one who sings this song | Reviewer: jannnet ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell geez. that bitch is the RETARD. they think that marilyn manson sings this song, and soft cells DOESNT. what the french toast!? somebody needs to be beaten some sense into. listen up dumbasses, soft cell covered this song THEN marilyn manson did. duh and the MM version SUCKS, soft cell is a total classic. soft cell? u mean manson | Reviewer: um... ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell this is by marilyn manson, not soft cell u dumbass bitches. you all r fuckin stupid as shit, dumbasses. the living end | Reviewer: chris ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by Soft Cell if you like this song listen to the living ends cover. way cooler!!!!!!!! TLE rocks!!! there | Reviewer: anammi ------ About the song Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart performed by Soft Cell find it at last, was interested in this song for a long time, but didn't knew the name of the song and artist, thisone is greate A great song lifted to a new level by David Gray's cover version | Reviewer: R.W.West ------ About the song Say Hello, Wave Goodbye performed by Soft Cell This is a great song about a relationship that never really took off and is to be consigned to the dust bin of history, as if it never happened. Should they meet on the street they are to act like they've met for "the very first time". There may be other levels to the song that I haven't picked up on but it seems unusual that this song seemingly about the dissolution of a straight relationship should come from the pen of Marc Almond. Almond's version features what could be some twee sounding electronica but it still works in conveying remorse andd resignation. David Gray's version, coda-ed with lines from a Van Morrison song gambols along with a heartfelt guitar. When I find something out about the origins of the song I'll get back to you.
