Valentine's Day is commercial. Really? Nations say Valentine's commercialized.


For the sceptics among you, listen to the Pansy Division's song "Luv Luv Luv" and read the lyrics below.

Pansy Division were (are?) a militantly gay punk/pop group not famous for singing in tune, but funny, and good fun live.





Lyrics:

Pansy Division - Luv Luv Luv

So many romantic dreams
Are merely bedroom schemes
It's such a nice ideal
Too bad it's rarely real
We're animals at the core
Instincts we can't ignore
You think you're civilized
You just might be surprised

People talk about
Luv luv luv luv luv
And it sounds like
Blah blah blah blah blah
Cause they really mean
Sex sex sex sex
People just want to connect
Luv luv luv luv luv, so typical
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
We don't feel like we think we should
Not like we were taught we would
We've been fed too much bull* about
Luv luv luv luv luv...

I believe in love that's true
I'm sucker just like you
But real love don't stand a chance
In absurd popsong romance
Grow up with my point of view
It's easy to see right through
You start to feel deceived
Throw out what you believe

People sing about
Luv luv luv luv luv
And it sounds like
Blah blah blah blah blah
Cause you know it means
Sex sex sex sex
People just want to connect
We've been fed too much bull about
Luv luv luv luv...



*bull = bullshit = lies/nonsense
