Angry Single Blogger: My 10 Favorite Anti-Valentine's Day Songs

Natalie asked me to compile a list of songs that convey an anti-love/anti-Valentine's Day sentiment. At first, despite my recent breakup, I sighed and thought it a nearly impossible project.

4. "Don't Use My Broken Heart" by Leona Naess. Why? "Don't use the records I played you, to seduce or reduce what remains, you know as well as I do, they only will remind you that you'll never have this heart again…"
