Activists push to ban Holiday Season Song -- ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ because it promotes date rape

Yes, the original implication is that he spiked her coffee with some liquor or something like that. Not exactly gentlemanly, but far from “date rapey”.

Ever heard Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong sing it?

[drop 50 and fire for effect]

It's not a Christmas song, it is just a cold weather song recorded for a film Neptune's Daughter that is now associated with Christmas.

Just because a song takes place in Winter, it doesn’t make it a Christmas song.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Not if Bill Cosby sings it. ;-)

[dfwgator]

Heck if all it took was a song about cold weather to be considered a “Christmas Song”, then Zep’s “No Quarter” could be a Christmas song.

“Here won’t you sign this form” “oh baby I really must go”
“confirm I’ll stay above the waist” “oh honey I must catch a cab”
“Ok I’ll just cross out this clause” “I’ll see you tomorrow at work”
“How bout you sign Here for a kiss” “no, no, I really must go”
“But baby it’s cold outside!”

If he really did all that stuff, how did he get away with it for so long?

While we’re at it, how ‘bout ‘I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus’?

Now it’s “I hear mommy got herpes from Santa Claus”

I love in the Naked Gun movie Priscilla asks him if he wants to come in for a night cap. And drebbin says, no thanks, I don’t wear them.

Hehe, reminds me of the bit “The Love Contract” from the Chapelle Show:

Yeah, but the line "Think of all the fun I've missed, Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed" might make that ring harder to come by.

The offending lyrics:

Her: “Well, maybe just a half a drink more”...
Him: “Put on some records while I pour”...

Her: “I really don’t think...”
Him: “Baby it’s bad out there...”
Her: “Say, what’s in this drink...”
Him: “No cabs to be had out there...”

At some point, you have to look these people in the eye and ask them how they got so stupid. And laugh. They can’t take ridicule.

Might as well ban romance.

[AZLiberty]

And humor.

[KC_Lion]

Seduction is the opposite of rape.

Christmas is coming. Maybe you can ask Santa for a sense of humor.

[DoodleDawg]

How about banning it because it’s a really annoying song? I put it up there with “Santa Baby”, “Last Christmas” and “Christmas Shoes”.

Clarice would be so disappointed
