Station bans "Baby It's Cold Outside"!

[Trailrider #896 977]

A radio station has banned the song, "Baby It's Cold Outside" because they say it promotes date rape!    Station management claims that the lyrics Imply the girl is being seduced, especially when she sings, "Say, what's in this drink?"    What's next? The kid singing "I saw Mommy kissin' Santa Claus" will be banned because it implies infidelity?  Next, somebody will claim there ain't no Santa Claus!

[Alpo 2,827]

Well yeah, it's definitely describing date rate. She wants to leave, he won't let her, and he's trying to get her drunk.

 

But then, "Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you". Stalker.

 

"Undercover angel, midnight fantasy." Wet dream.

 

Popular songs are about WEIRD stuff.

White Christmas is racist!!

They played it on XM earlier today.

[Forty Rod SASS 3935 3,478]

My dear Jesus, I'm so sick and tired of everyone finding something to ban so the world will look more like "their" world... a dark, cold, and miserable place.

[Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 343]

That song was written years ago in a different social climate and context from today. Why can't they let things be?

[Rye Miles #13621 3,339]

A radio station here took a survey about whether they should continue playing Baby it's cold outside. 94% said YES, 6% said no!

 

The station said since the vast majority were against playing the song we decided to stop playing it!!

 

HUH?????

 

IT'S ABOUT TWO ADULTS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!! I DON'T CARE WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN!!

[Black Angus McPherson 230]

I hate to say it, and I don't agree with it, but I saw this coming years ago.  I think it really got hurt when people started relating the song to Bill Cosby.

 

Anybody remember the Country song that went something like "When I say no I mean maybe..."  Pulled from the album and play lists because "No means no"

 

Some folks just have no sense of humor anymore.

I truly believe that there are some people who wake up every morning and deliberately look for something to object to.

The SPCA will probably complain that "Run Run Rudolph" promotes cruelty to animals.

False News 

[Sixgun Sheridan 2,456]

And yet the hip-hop people continue to sing (if you can call it that) about big booty and killing cops without getting censored...

 

There's something seriously wrong with this country.

Howdy,

I once had a princess type co worker say that she thought

I had insulted her.

I told her that if I insulted her she would not have a grain of doubt.

I wasn't questioning the article, I was questioning that since 94% agreed that the song should continue to be played and 6% said it should not be.  They said because the majority agreed that it should not be played it would be taken off the air.  That is a total reverse of what the results showed.  That is why I called the stations action  false news.  It was a poorly written question.

From Wikepedia:

 

"Baby, It's Cold Outside" is a popular song written by Frank Loesser in 1944. It is a call and response duet in which a host, usually performed by a male voice, tries to convince a guest, usually performed by a female voice, that she should stay the evening because the weather is cold and the trip home would be difficult. While the lyrics make no mention of any holiday, it is popularly regarded as a Christmas song due to its winter theme.

Loesser wrote the song for his wife and himself to perform at parties. He sold the song to MGM, which used it for the 1949 film Neptune's Daughter. It was sung by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalbán and won the Academy Award.

 

I was going to start the video at the 1:45 mark when the song is sung; however, there is just too much in this trailer for the 1949 film "Neptune's Daughter" to leave out those parts, so here is the full trailer link. (Skip to 1:45 if you only wish to see the song performed by two duet singing couples.)

All them stars and they don't list Mel Blanc. Shameful.

 

When Red's singing it, he's trying to convince Betty to go home, and she's insisting that it's cold outside so she needs to stay the night.

Exactly, the STATION was reporting "false news", I misunderstood what you meant. The station is kowtowing to the liberal minority. They're probably afraid of some scumbag lawyer taking it to court for some idiot liberal!
