“I Don't Want Your Love” by Duran Duran

"I Don't Want Your Love" was the first single Duran Duran pulled from Big Thing, their fifth studio album, in 1988, and it finds Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, who wrote it, heading straight for the dance floor. The single wasn't even the album cut but a remix by the American club DJ Shep Pettibone, with the original tucked away on the B-side. Daniel Abraham and Jonathan Elias co-produced with the band.

Cash Box judged it serviceable, singling out the funky bass and the percussion playing against it, and liked that the vocals leaned less on Le Bon's strained style. Steve Lowe's video puts the band in a rowdy courtroom packed with spectators and tabloid reporters, singing their testimony into the witness microphones, with Warren Cuccurullo and former ABC drummer David Palmer filling out the lineup.
