Best New Wave Cover: Soft Cell--Tainted Love

[waldnorm]

Okay--not exactly the cheesy category this time, but the idea came to me, so I couldn't resist. Below are 62 prominent covers that I recalled. I'm sure I forgot some. As always--select the least liked cover, let us know you're dropping it on top with some snide remark, and then wait for someone else to drop another before dropping one again--until the best cover by a new wave band remains.
