That is Evil! Valentine’s Day

My favourite colour is red, however every year, mid-February, I’m somewhat sick of it – you know, all those hearts, roses, ribbons, hearts… Did I mention hearts? Yes, it’s the dreadful Valentine’s Day!

Personally I had never celebrated this day until one day I told my then-boyfriend we’re skipping the date and I made an appointment with a guy who was supposed to lend me a film (Rurouni Kenshin OVA, not really overly romantic thing). Long story short, I met the guy who turned out to be pretty much into RPGs and proper metal music… and we’ve been together for nineteen years. And still not celebrating Valentine’s Day, as you can probably guess.

So here it goes, if your preferred shade of red is rouge de Tarantino and you do appreciate love stories with a little bit of a twist, I’ve got something for you – a collection of evil (well, sometimes not so evil, just a tiny bit malicious) Valentine’s songs I collected on Spotify. To bring a wide variety of music genres I asked my friends to collaborate, so as a result you have the opportunity to listen to many various songs with only one thing in common: the twist.

I made sure all of the songs have lyrics you can easily find on the net (just Google the artist, song + lyrics) and quickly make your own fill in the blanks activity by removing some key words. And then you can have a lot of fun with your students, celebrating Valentine’s Day in a new, refreshing way.

Before you go full enthusiastic (never go full enthusiastic around Valentine’s Day!), let me be clear that my collection includes some songs that with quite explicit lyrics (child-friendly Spotify marks them with a letter E, you can’t miss it). You may also find some songs offensive which is definitely not my intention, however I’m the Evil Mistress of the World (in the Making), so I don’t think you could expect anything else from me.

Where to find my Spotify playlist? Just follow the link to my Facebook page (click!) and enjoy! And if you want to fill my little black and rotten heart with warmth, do like my page to keep me motivated, as the motivation of a blogger is fuelled with likes and positive feedback.

Which basically is quite sad, but here it goes, we all like counting our likes and shares.

Enjoy your Valentine’s Day however you celebrate it!
