While some people celebrate the day the way it was intended to be — flowers, love songs, dinners and all that – the perennially single see it as a chance to let their cynicism flag fly. That’s exactly what is happening with #KeepALoveSongHonest, a hashtag started by the Twitter account @MusicalHashtags with idea of taking the air out of some of our sappiest love songs.
