I want you to die
For those of you who have friended me within the past year, I looooove to hate Valentine's Day. Every year I post a list of unromantic songs in my journal so my friends' list can add to it. It's gotten to be a very long list over the years.
Just so everyone knows, this year The List is New and Improved! I've added links to youtube videos for the songs so if you feel like listening to one or you're curious about a song that you've never heard of, you can just clickety click and listen to it right away. It was a lot of work, but I had a lot of fun finding the videos. (I especially love the old Patsy Cline and Ella Fitzgerald videos.) Now, some of the videos aren't great (some of them just have a picture with the song playing in the background) but at least you can still hear the song. I couldn't find videos for some of the songs so I guess a crappy video is better than nothing. I think that most of them are good though.
Please let me know if a link is broken, if a video has been deleted, or if it's the wrong song. Also, as always, feel free to add new songs to the list. Enjoy! :)
