Yeah, yeah yeah. It’s a holiday invented by greeting card and jewelry companies and you shouldn’t have to show your affection for the one you love on just one day and you refuse to accept the rampant commercialisation of Valentine’s day that is shoved down our throats by corporate advertising shills.. etc.. etc..
I’ve heard it all before and I’m not buying it.
So, if you’re with someone you love, go do something nice during the day and have bed shakin’ baby makin’ sex at night (or vice versa, ladies’ choice) and if you’re single, punch a hole in a tin of Milkmaid for dinner and hug your pillow as you cry yourself asleep.(Did I just reveal my plans?)
Either way, don’t be a hater. That’s soo clichéd and you don’t want to be one of those miserable bastards.
So this morning, while I was stuck in traffic on Valentine’s day or as I like to call it VD (coz i’m cool like that yo) I saw a guy driving to work in a bright green shirt with an equally bright yellow tie on and I thought ‘Theres a man that definitely had Love Machine by The Miracles playing in his head as he got dressed in front of the mirror today.’
So, in honour of green shirted, yellow tied going to work and getting his love game on guy I present to you Love Machine which has to rate in my book as one of the best ever doin’ it songs, specially the starting few seconds (which is all the time I need ladies…)
