Either way, we did an informal survey to determine what songs people are thinking about on February 14th, and the results were divided pretty squarely down the middle. For your consideration, we present a Top-5 list of the songs people are Valentining to in 2010:

1. Sara Bareilles’ “Love Song.” The title might say Love Song, but the lyrics say Trouble in Paradise. Sara’s not writing a love song for this guy until he gives her a good reason!

2. Wings’ “Silly Love Songs.” This really is a silly love song, but it does get stuck in your head. Stuck like love!

3. The J. Geils Band’s “Love Stinks.” Maybe you remember Adam Sandler’s version of this one from The Wedding Singer better than the original. Either way, sometimes the lyrics ring true.

4. Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Although Dolly Parton wrote and first recorded this song, since The Bodyguard, Whitney’s version has been the go-to for copycats and pop culture references.

5. Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown.” Is this even a love song really? It’s got a great beat, whatever it is.

What did we miss? If you were ranking your favorite love- or anti-love-songs, which ones would top the list?

Wikipedia says: “According to the Guinness Book of Records, “Yesterday” has the most cover versions of any song ever written. The song remains popular today with more than 3,000 recorded cover versions, the first hitting the United Kingdom top 10 three months after the release of Help!. Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) asserts that it was performed over seven million times in the 20th century alone.”
