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

 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.
