Why 10cc's 1975 pop hit, "I'm Not in Love" should have been a serious pop ballad, minus Kathy Redfern's negative middle part instead of a joke song with her middle part added that made that song a mess

Image
 "I'm Not in Love",  done by British pop band 10cc,  is a powerful song that conveys strong emotions, and the addition of Kathy Redfern 's negative middle part detracts from the overall impact of the song. The lyrics and melody are strong enough to stand on their own, and without that middle part, the song would have been a much more powerful and meaningful ballad. By removing the joke element and allowing the song to stand as a serious pop ballad, the impact of the lyrics and melody would have been much more profound.

Why 10cc's 1975 original tune "I'm Not in Love" would've sounded better without Kathy Redfern's annoying be-quiet-big-boys-don't-cry nonsense that spoiled that meaningful ballad

Image
 The original version of "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc is a beautiful and meaningful ballad that can evoke strong emotions in the listener. However, the addition of Kathy Redfern 's annoying, repetitious "be-quiet-big-boys-don't-cry" nonsense detracts from the emotional power of the song and spoils the impact it could have had. Removing this line would have resulted in a more powerful and emotionally resonant version of the song, allowing listeners to experience the full range of emotions it conveys.

Why Kathy Redfern's negative spoken word that spoiled 10cc's instrumental song "How Dare You", taken from their last album of the same name with Godley & Creme, released in 1976, should have been removed because of its negative content that hurts families and children

Image
  Kathy Redfern 's 2 negative spoken lines, "Quiet!"and "How dare you!" should have been removed from 10cc 's instrumental song "How Dare You" because of their negative content. The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as disrespectful and hurtful towards families and children, which is not appropriate for a song. The song is from their last album of the same name with Godley & Creme , released in 1976, and these negative spoken lines do not add anything to the overall theme of the song. By removing these lines, the song would still be enjoyable, but without the negative connotations associated with them.

Laurie Maitland slams Kathy Redfern

Image
Sad thing was Kathy Redfern wouldn't sing on the record of 10cc's "I'm Not in Love", because her voice wouldn't carry a note. She would never learn to sing on records. That's why her voice was weak and shy due to too much whispering. A reward she didn't deserve.

Image
 Now take a look at this annoying midsection mistakenly done by an evil whisperer Kathy Redfern from 10cc's "I'm Not in Love" that drives you mad. It goes something like this: There is no such thing as that. This midsection of hers does not make any sense.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: The entire lyric of "I'm Not in Love".

Image
 posted by anonymous on Nov 26th, 2006 at 11:21pm I think the song is just about being in love with someone but not wanting to admit it to them or to yourself, or trying to convince yourself that you don't love them because the other person might make too big a deal out of it, and you're trying to convince yourself that it's less of a big deal than it really is. For example, I think the boy in the song wants to keep her picture so he can look at it all the time, but he uses the excuse that he's just using it to hide "a nasty stain". Everything he's telling his girl makes me think he really is in love with her, but doesn't want her to know so he's covering up everything with excuses. posted by anonymous on Apr 22nd, 2011 at 4:01pm I think this guy is in LOVE, but he's fighting with himself to admit that. As simple as that. ...big boys don't cry (a macho cries inside) posted by anonymous on Mar 21st, 2013 at 3:09pm I feel it's a denial of
