Screw a pound of boxed chocolate for Valentine’s Day, I want what Otis Redding is dishing out! In his “Loving By The Pound” single, he is offering some good, strong loving by either the ounce, pound, or ton. I’d say that trumps a dozen roses any day!

Don’t buy into the Hallmark-ed bullshit this holiday is all about. Forget about the flowers and candy- just download this song and when the time is right, follow Otis’s lead.

You really should own Otis Redding’s music. He is amazing!
