"Don't Talk to Me About Love" led the charge for Bite, the third album from Scottish new wavers Altered Images, arriving on Epic in 1983, and it gave the band one last big one. It went top 10 in three countries, peaking at number seven at home in the UK and at six in Ireland and New Zealand alike, and none of the singles that came after it got anywhere close.
Not everybody was charmed. Reviewing it in Melody Maker, Edwyn Collins of fellow Scots Orange Juice, a jangle pop band, dismissed the words as a pile of hollow clichés and heard no real musical step forward. The record-buying public begged to differ.
