Throwback Thursday: ’90s Valentine’s Day Hits
The cheesiest, floweriest, pinkest day of the year is finally past us. Besides the typical candy and oversized teddy bears, love songs are hard to escape on Valentine’s Day. Some people look forward to making playlists for that special someone and embracing the day of love, but others can’t wait until the radio stops playing the same current pop hits over and over.
