"Tainted Love" by Holy Wars


 Los Angeles, California dark pop band Holy Wars cover Cincinnati, Ohio Queen of Northern soul Gloria Jones's song "Tainted Love."

Though, nobody paid the tune an ounce of attention until 1981, when Leeds, UK synth pop duo Soft Cell released their version.

Once I ran to you/now I run from you

I can't pinpoint the exact time that the singer started running from their tainted lover, but I'd guess it was close to the time that her partner started wearing gas masks constantly.  Because that's just super weird and throws up a ton of red flags.
