It's the soundtrack to an Italian beer commercial (Pirroni ?) and it kicks the arse out of The Beatles version.

There's also a version by Elvis Costello and Nick lowe that's sweet.

People will think this sacriligious, but Roddy Frame (from Aztec Camera ) does an acoustic version of the Beatle's In My Life that is, indeed, better than the original.
And In My Life is my most favourite song, so that's saying something!

[quote=stanworshipper]I may be in the minority here, but I liked Marilyn Manson's version of Tainted Love better than the original.

Actually, Tainted Love was originally a soul number,done in 1964 by Gloria Jones- and it's the best version by far...sounds a bit like Rescue Me by Fontella Bass, but way better.
