Sure, you could probably play her some D'Angelo or R. Kelly, ironically, of course. But, she might be more impressed if you whip out some deep cuts from your music collection (pun intended?).

This band will love your face off

​Valentine's Day does not belong to crooners in tuxedos or violin sonatas by candlelight. Proof of this can be found in this offering from local jam band Ketchy Shuby. In their "Valentine's Day," there are skanking upstrokes in place of come hither vocals and sunshine warm enough to melt the cheese right out of a Hallmark card instead of a flickering candle.

Now, to be fair, the poetic content of the song will not be moving anyone to tears. But, that's not the point. Lyrics like "I just want to say/On this beautiful day/Happy Valentines Day/Oh what a good day" are only accents on top of the uplifted groove. 

"Ooohs" and "la la las" add playful vocal color elsewhere in this tune which ignite a bit of Valentine's warmth in the chest region and bring a smile across the face.

Here is the rub in all of that. For better or for worse, drugs have inspired some of the best rock songs out there, and especially -- hello, Valentine's Day angle -- love songs. Sure, that ditty you love may seem on its surface to be about some unforgettable woman, but you know what's more unforgettable?

Anyways, in (dis)honor of V-Day, here are five randomly chosen amazing rock and roll love songs that are actually probably about opiates.

You've just spent the last few hours being wined and dined by your Valentine's Day date. He sent you flowers, bought you candy, and even wrote something extra special in that greeting card. And now it's time to head back to his house where the candles are lit and D'Angelo is playing on the stereo. Cheesy? Yes. Guaranteed to get you in the mood? Yes and yes.

Or perhaps R.Kelly's "Your Body's Callin" is more your style? What about Maxwell's "Til the Cops Come Knockin"? These tracks and a few more are definitely on our list of Valentine's Day after hours jams.
