It's good that someone remembered Jeff Buckley but how can people forget about Ciccone Youth?
Ciccone Youth - Into the Groovey (fucking sweet cover with awesome sampling, Thurston Moore)
Ciccone Youth - Burnin' Up (good cover by Mike Watt from Minutemen and Greg Ginn from Black Flag)

mAlice aforeThought:
--- Quote from: rynne ---The original was performed by Gloria Jones, and it was fairly famous in its time, too. I don't know if they still have it up, but Coil's website used to link to the video of their "Tainted Love," which was amazing. Marc Almond (singer of Soft Cell) plays the angel of death.

yay! thank you! and i'll have to look for that video...i've spent quite a lot ov time on coil's website, but it's still quite conceivable that it's there and i simply overlooked it.
dancarter: i've never been able to find skinny puppy's version. where can i find it?
...and, oddly enough, opium jukebox's cover depresses the hell out ov me.
...too goddamn many people have covered that freaking song!
