We gave you a sexy V-day playlist yesterday, but we just CAN’T STOP!! Nothing sets the tone for a romantic evening like music, and nothing sets the tone for fun like the 90s. Fun + Romance is the perfect combo. It’s what allows you to use edible massage oil and not feel like a complete goon. It’s how you get away with saying “Hello, lover” in a growl-y sexy voice and kind of meaning it! Fun + Romance forever!!
These 6 songs are guaranteed to help you express your feelings on V-Day and take you back to a time when stirrup pants and a flannel shirt were a totally acceptable date outfit. Hello, lovers.
1. Mazzy Star – Fade Into You
Light some candles, grab your love and start slow-dancing in your living room, this song is about to bring back all the awkward anticipation you felt during grade six dances as you tried to figure out where your hands were supposed to go on your dance partner’s body.
2. Haddaway – What Is Love

“What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more.” Who among us hasn’t felt this way? We all want to be loved without going through the pain and heartache of games. We also want to get down with our bad selves on the dance floor just like Rickie Vasquez did on My So-Called Life. There is no shame in that game, so start bopping your head like a Roxbury boy and let yourself sparkle! If you’re single, this song is guaranteed to help you find a dance-loving partner.
3. Seal – Kiss From A Rose

How does one actually get kissed by a rose? It doesn’t matter. This song was featured on the Batman forever soundtrack which means that it is forever symbolic of Batman’s badassery and Val Kilmer’s overwhelming sexiness. Pop on this sensual jam and you are getting laid TONIGHT.
4. Don’t Speak – No Doubt
We all have that friend who got just got dumped mere days before Valentine’s Day. Maybe that girl is you. Either way, this is the only song that will help you get over the heartache. Grab a hairbrush and get ready to give your vocal chords a workout, cause you are about to belt this song out (several times over the course of the evening). Follow up with tissues, wine, and your favourite Golden Girls episode and you’ll be feeling better in no time.
5. Boyz II Men – I’ll Make Love To You
Having trouble infusing your night with some romance? Just listen to this song. The Boyz will literally tell you everything you need to do. “Throw your clothes on the floor. I’m gonna take my clothes off too.” If you’re still struggling to get into the mood after listening to this song then I suggest you give up now and order a pizza with some extra garlic dipping sauce cause nobody’s getting lucky.
6. Salt N Pepa – Let’s Talk About Sex
Sometimes you need to forget the romance and just get down and dirty. This song is for those times. And since the lyrics were later changed to educate the young’uns about AIDS and being protected, do Salt N Pepa a solid and wrap it up. Remember what your high school gym teacher told you: no glove, no love.
