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.

Like I said before, I cannot stand her annoying female voice repeating: Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry Big boys don't cry to make t...

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

 "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.

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.
