I find it weird that Pandora plays this song alone, just like what Oranl said. Then again, I always thought that "Where Did Our Love Go" was just part of "Tainted Love." How wrong I was...
It seems there are other songs that always play two shorter songs back to back, e.g. this, "Threshold/J e t Airliner," etc. |

This is like the only oldy I like. Well I like some, But I am ssssssoooo sick of oldies cuz my parents are still living in the 80's. It can wear a girl down. :(

I was not a music lover of any kind until I heard this song.
You've tainted my dislove of all music. Thank you Ed Cobb and Soft Cell for changing my life! |

Easily the best song of the 1980's and the New Wave movement as a whole.
Needless to say, the best motown cover of all time. |
