Open thread: What are your favourite anti-Valentine's Day songs?

Valentine's Day? What a load of rubbish. A cynical festival of tacky cards, overpriced flowers, overbooked restaurants and smug couples holding hands and smiling as if the world wasn't a hopeless place where we're all doomed to die alone. For many, Valentine's Day is a giant, gaudy reminder of their own singledom. And so, with those people in mind, we'd like to know about songs that serve as an antidote to Valentine's Day. Let us know in the thread below, or add your recommendations to this Spotify playlist – and here's a few suggestions made by @guardianmusic Twitter followers to start the ball rolling: @GeekyLittleFrog Someday You Will Be Loved by Death Cab For Cutie @jasondj How about Billy Bragg, Valentines Day Is Over ? @redlikejungle How about: This Is Not A Love Song by the mighty PIL? @raquelle Alanis Morrissette - You Oughta Know . Grrrrrrraaaaahhh @BettyGray22 Belle & Sebastian - I Don't Love Anyone • And, for the more loved-up among you, take a look at this week's Readers Recommend , where there's a more romantic selection of Valentine's Day songs.
