Have You Heard Google’s Valentine Day Doodle?

[By Sudarshana Banerjee]

What are you doing this Valetine Day for that special friend or significant other? Google, first!

Google’s Valentine Day doodle belts out Tony Bennett’s Cold, Cold Heart, and doubles up as an animated Google advertisement just on the right side of cheesy. Hearts thaw, cat hugs dog, (presumably) grinning one-eyed alien person thingy hugs space man.. you get the picture. Google’s in charge, and all’s right with the world, and all that…

But “Why can’t I free your doubtful mind, And melt your cold, cold heart,”… umm, Google, time you get a new jukebox.

 

Boy holding play button.

Boy trying to woo girl. Girl categorically refuses to be.

Boy tries skipping. Yes, dear!

 

And  couples everywhere Google happily ever after.
