So it’s Valentines Day, which means men everywhere will go out and spend obscene amounts of money on flowers, chocolates, cards, jewellery and food. Here’s an idea….why don’t ya’ll skip this half baked celebration and do those things for your other half whenever you feel like it……just an idea
So with that out of the way, this weeks edition of the FNS will be brought to you by songs you probably wouldn’t play for your date on Valentines Day. Let’s call it the Anti-Valentines edition.
1 – Love Stinks – J. Geils Band

Everyone loves this classic 80’s song for all of the wrong reasons. It’s pretty much one big bummer of a song, but when you toss in some major chords and a catchy chorus it becomes a hit. Go figure. I can just picture some dude sitting on a couch in his underwear, after not showering for three days because he was just dumped, eating a ham sandwhich as mustard runs all over his white v-neck undershirt. How awesome is that!
2 – Since You’ve Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7UrFYvl5TE
Kelly Clarkson is arguably the only good thing to come out of American Idol. Her big, power-pop sound is clean, energetic and all around awesome. Another chorus that just get’s to the core of things “Since you’ve been gone, I can breath for the first time, I’m so moving on, yeahh yeahh…”. Perfect.
3 – Walk Like A Man – The Four Seasons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtc5HotYOvE
Now how about that. Who would have ever thought that this song was an ol’ 1 – 2 screw you jam. “No womans worth, crawling on the earth, so walk like a man my son”. This just goes to show how often people don’t listen to lyrics and only really pay attention to melody.
4 – We Are Never Getting Back Together – Taylor Swift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA4iX5D9Z64
I tried everyway to get around it but Ms. Swift just had to make the list. Her entire musical career is based around songs trashing her exes…..and let’s be honest…..she has a pretty good knack of knocking pop awesomeness out of left field. The only question I do have is what’s up with those dudes dressed like animals?
5 – Somebody Kill Me – Adam Sandler
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTnq268y2ms&feature=kp
How could we not include this on the list of anti-V songs. Every one out there has experienced some sort of emotion along the lines of this song. It’s probably a good thing that we all don’t have the ability to express it quite like Adam Sandler does.
