Song of the Day: Tainted Love, by Soft Cell

Way back in my teenage years I became friends with a girl named Lori, but alas, our love was doomed. One of my favorite parts of our relationship was that she would call me at night and sing quietly over the phone until she started falling asleep. “Tainted Love” was one of the songs she sang, and sadly, it fit us well:

I just heard this song on the radio, and it made me think of her.

There isn’t a thing I didn’t like about Lori. Our relationship didn’t end because of that.

Lori, if you’re out there, this one’s for you.
