Honey, you've taught me the meaning of love...Love means never having to say you're horny...
...uptight, today is a holiday and I'm just getting into the spirit. Valentine's Day is no Holy Day, so I can't go to church; it is not a political holiday so there is no parade downtown; nothing is for free like on Halloween, not even love, so I'm just gonna stroll on over to the Coop or Store 24 and catch some more jollies looking at Valentine's Day cards.

"You Love the Thunder" is a faceless, mindless rocker in the mold of "Redneck Friend," but lacking the wit. It's a humorless song--and without a sense of humor, upbeat L.A. rock can be terribly dull...
