So far, TCK, BEV, Wim and Del have all covered Tainted Love.
I had Soft Cell’s version on 12 “ single which morphs into “Where Did Our Love Go?”
“Where Did Our Love Go?” was a hit for The Supremes in 1964.
The same year that Roald Dahl’s book “Charlie And The Chocolate Factory” was published.
A real Chocolate factory was founded in Birmingham by John Cadbury, who was a Quaker.
Another name for The Quakers is the Society of Friends.
Friends are people who are not family but are very close to you.
“Don’t Stand So Close To Me” is a song by Sting.
Sting was not christened Sting by his parents, but got the name during his jazz band playing days due to his habit of wearing a black and yellow striped jumper, like a bee.
Bees are lovely flying insects who make honey,
Which you can put on your toast.
Other things that go well on toast are jam, peanut butter or squashed banana.
Banana skins are often employed in cartoons and slapstick films for a hapless victim to slip on.
Slip ons are shoes without laces.
Lacewings are another type of insect whose larvae are very handy for keeping aphids off your roses.
“A Good Year For The Roses” is a ballad written by Jerry Chestnut and originally sung by George Jones,
Which brings us to Gloria Jones and....
Well, what are the chances!?!?
Tainted Love, I’ve actually done this before, I think it was a Soul season, might have been Sean (Ukuleledaddy) or Andy (Desert Pavement) season. Thought I’d go a bit Goth with this one....
