Valentine’s Day is upon us! And at WVAU, we know there can be a lot of pressure and a lot of build up of expectations, when in fact, it is simply about being in love and appreciating love.

And people who aren’t in relationships can appreciate love: Carlton Banks basically never had a girlfriend, but he knew how to appreciate the sentiment of love in the cheesiest of senses — by getting down to the musical stylings of Mr. Tom Jones.

Can’t get enough of those go-to love songs? Don’t fret! WVAU has a playlist for you, dedicated to the cheesiest love songs that we have in our music libraries! Get excited for some Minnie Ripperton and Jackie Wilson! There’s even a bit of Beyonc̩ in there, but who are we kidding?! She’s not cheesy — she’s fabulous. Enjoy our fun selection and don’t put too much pressure on yourself for having a romantic and perfect Valentine’s Day! Sometimes, a little “cheesy” is really great!

Have a Cheesy Valentine’s Day! from wvau on 8tracks Radio.

A lot of WVAU staff members help bounce around ideas for this playlist, but if you love this playlist, be sure to thank: Cameron Meindl, Kaylee Dugan, Richard Murphy, Maeve McDermott, Marissa Cetin, Sean Meehan, Emily White, Teta Alim and Rafael Smith. (Extra special shouts out to Jesse Paller for the crucial Carlton video recommendation.) If you don’t like this playlist, they had absolutely nothing to do with it though.
