Oh I see we're starting the traditional battle over "Baby it's Cold Outside" early this year

Ah yes, the song written by a middle-aged married couple to make fun of the lame excuses horny young couples would come up with to justify staying in and… making it necessary to get married ASAP within the next 9 months. The middle-aged married couple would sing this at parties, usually at the end when everyone was good and drunk and it was time to leave!

My take is that if you wrote the song today then yes, it's creepy, but the social context it was written in is radically different.

Today staying over at a partners house is normal and nobody is going to bat an eye over it. That was not the case in 1944 and the song is pretty clearly a mutual attempt to justify her staying over.

Should radio stations play it? I don't really have an opinion. If I ran a station I would quietly, personally, ask my staff to not play it simply to avoid any controversy, but I don't think it's a bad song.

It's kind of the same as the the r slur, 40 years ago it was seen as the polite word for developmentally disabled people and so there are plenty of old PSA ads that look straight out of 4chan im trans btw

Would someone like to give me the TL;DR?

Ever since maybe 2014 or so there's a yearly debate over whether or not the song "Baby it's Cold Outside" is creepy or not.

One side says it's about a dude trying to coerce a woman to spend the night at his place, the other argues that it's context dependent.

I fall in the latter group, although I acknowledge that, absent the cultural context in which it was written, it sounds creepy

Needs Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen or the Jeff Buckley cover. Definitely not a Christmas song but people act like it is because it has a religious title.

>>14095806
I think that notion started to pick up after Pentatonix covered it on their Christmas album

>>14095806
Does the full version get played, where there's a verse about "remember when I moved in you" and "you let me know what's really going on below"?
