For this Valentines Day, who better to teach us about love and all that rubbish than Anthony Quinn?

That’s right, Zorba the Greek recorded an entire album of “love songs”, or rather, of him pondering about “love” while most likely drunk in a studio, along with the Harold Spina Singers and Orchestra.

If you have difficulties expressing your emotions to someone you love, let Anthony Quinn show you how it’s done.

In “What is Love”, Quinn tells his long time wife romantic gems such as “I don’t even know that I love you NOW! but I’m aah…comf-ta-bull-ah”, or “You’re a headache I can put up with” or “I don’t even mind at bedtime when you take off that girdle and you yawn and scratch yer-self” and “I uh….I guess I love you”.

Rest assured, Quinn was not 100% serious when he released this LP. The idea came to him at a party with Spina, when they were both bamboozled and kidding around. It was so funny, they decided to record it.

Shockingly, the ladies failed to appreciate Quinn’s sense of humour, and the album didn’t break any record sales.

I, however, LOVE IT!
