Once upon a time, a record company exec made the mistake of asking Johnny Lydon if he could write and record a nice and commercial love song for Public Image Ltd.’s next album.  This is how Lydon responded:

This Is Not A Love Song is repeated a total of 44 times in this song.  The other lyrics are all meant to satirize the corporate mindset as Johnny announces that he is going to sell out:

I’m adaptable and I like my new role
I’m getting better and better
And I have a new goal
I’m changing my ways where money applies

This video was shot in Century City, which was the center of the Los Angeles business community in the 80s.

Enjoy!
