As Liz Lemon of “30 Rock” once said, “Valentine’s Day is a sham created by card companies to reinforce and exploit gender stereotypes.” There’s that and the general lack of romance in the Dartmouth dating scene — or, more accurately, the “hook-up scene” — to begin with. While I’m sure some couples did enjoy an intimate dinner at FoCo on Valentine’s Day, I’m also sure others were wondering whether it would be appropriate to schedule a pong date that day and if that would pass as romantic. So here’s a more appropriate V-Day collection of songs celebrating sexual and relationship dysfunction, promiscuity, infidelity and revenge. Hope everyone had a happy Anna Howard Shaw Day!

“Kill Her Off” – The Ropes
