This Is Not a Love Songby Public Image Ltd.

John Lydon came up with the title and concept for this track after someone at his record company asked him about writing a nice, marketable love song. This song was a response to that request. PiL drummer Martin Atkins and guitarist Keith Levene wrote the music for this track, while Lydon supplied the lyrics. This really isn't a love song: we know because Lydon repeats the title 44 times.
