> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Morgainelf \* > **126. That’s 10CC “I’m Not in Love”, but I thought that was '70s!** You are correct. “I’m Not In Love” is off of 10cc’s 1975 album [The Original Soundtrack](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=A9hxsa9tgb23a). AFAIK, the single of “I’m Not In Love” was never released in the 1980’s. ---
