Valentine's Day... if you're in love, great. Congrats. We're SO happy for you.
But for those who tend to spend the holiday of love flying solo or delicately attaching pretty ribbons to their cat (Who's a good boy?!?), here are a few choice tracks to help the day go by without a hitch -- barring any unforseen and embarrassing veterinary visits. You may shed a tear here and there though. Sorry, not sorry.

Shaun Cassidy, "Da Doo Ron Ron."
Get a life. Use your words.
Any country song from the mid-70s, when I lost my first radio job and got another... working for a country station in South Atlanta. Don't remind me. I particularly remember "She's Actin' Single, I'm Drinkin' Doubles" by Gary Stewart.
Just. Stop.
