Just wait until they learn that he smoked cigarettes!
That’s right, kiddos, actual cancer sticks, not some lame vaping crap.
They’re going to absolutely freak out.
The Leftist Outrage Police™ have declared the classic song, ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ that is played ad nausem during the Christmas season ‘problematic’ because they don’t understand the lyrics.

The politically correct crowd in the #MeToo era have taken the 1944 song written by songwriter Frank Loesser and his lounge singer wife, Lynn, for a housewarming party that they had in New York. It was an absolute hit with the guests and was later included in the 1949 movie, Neptune’s Daughter performed by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban as well as hilariously reversing the roles with Red Skelton and Betty Garrett
The song, with its playful lyrics, chronicle what used to be a courtship dance between a young couple before the realm of dating apps. A young woman, concerned about protecting her reputation, didn’t want to give in to the persuasive argument of a determined suitor insistent on her staying a little longer.
But, because the lyrics include, ‘Say, what’s in this drink?‘ the leftists have decided that those lyrics mean that the guy has pulled a Bill Cosby and roofied her drink so that he can rape her.
Several radio stations have banned the song.
Last year, a couple of millennial songwriters decided to ‘fix’ the song because they don’t understand a world before the free-sex-for-all revolution (relationship or last name not required) which was pushed by feminists. Oh, sorry, I meant ’embracing of their sexuality’ because women can be as promiscuous as men with zero consequences. (Except, that’s not what happens.) Nor do they comprehend the concept of a woman being pursued by a man that she is attracted to, and not wanting to appear too ‘easy’. Nowadays, you just swipe right or left on an app if you’re interested or not. It’s pretty much killed romance.
I kinda feel bad for them for about five seconds, but then, they rewrite a classic song to ’emphasize consent’ and I think they deserve the world that they now exist in.
That’s vile.
Back in the day, if a guy I was interested in was behaving in the ‘Oh, are you still here?’ way as the guy did in that song, I’d take the hint. In this version, rather than the dance of seduction, they’re both just stupid. If you missed blonde beauty, Nicole Arbour, dismantling the outrage over the song in just 60 seconds, you can find it right here.
But, now that there is outrage over the song, the version recorded by Dean Martin in 1959 has had a surge in popularity.
Way to go, PC Police! Your protest did the exact opposite of what you hoped it would do.
The 1944 classic hit Baby It’s Cold Outside was almost a thing of Christmas past after controversy saw it banned by several stations over it’s ‘predatory undertones,’ but now sales of one of the song’s versions have soared 70 per cent…
…Despite the controversy, or likely because of it, the renewed attention to it, the Dean Martin version of the song hits the top 10 of Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart for the first time, according to Billboard.
Dean’s version, recorded in 1959, is the chart’s Greatest Gainer, soaring from No. 31 to No. 10 on the December 22 dated list.
It is now up to 11,000 downloads old over the week that ended on December 13.
And just the week earlier it hit the charts with a 257 per cent boost with over 7,000 sold. Source: Daily Mail
Dean had a great set of pipes. The guy could sing anything.
Written by a husband-wife duo.
Performed by that husband-wife duo.
“Santa Baby” was also declared provocative by one station. Don’t remember which station. Go figure.
These libs keep trying to divide and conquer.
That's a great version, and it was also a hit. In 1949, several acts scored with the tune, which charted in the spring and summer of that year.
I like the version by Homer and Jethro with June Carter.Later those three performed it on a TV special hosted by June’s husband, Johnny Cash.
Btw one artist doesn’t perform a Christmas song he used to do; Weird Al Yankovic recorded Christmas at Ground Zero in the 80s.A spoof of Phil Spector type Yule tunes.Originally Ground Zero referred to the site of a nuclear bomb blast etc. “What a crazy fluke we’re gonna get nuked on this jolly holiday”.After 9/11, Al said, so many people associated Ground Zero with the Twin Towers that he doesn’t perform it live anymore.
Let’s just say the tune pre-dates me by quite a lot, but since the usual suspects are in a snit I had to listen to it. Guess I’d had to have heard it before. Didn’t pay any attention to it I guess. Pretty catchy tune! Seems like it would be tough to sing, with the counter melody deal goin’ on. It really illustrates what a bunch of wankers the leftists have become.
The same people and radio stations who banned the song play rap music that glorifies killing cops, beating women etc.
I was born in 58 and thought that anything before rock was foggy music...with the exception of Dino. Dino was clearly cool even to my 10 year old eyes.
I like that version, too. It was also a chart hit.
Can’t find the one about rap songs beating women killing white cops.........................................................

I was listening to the old Burl Ives rendition of Holly Jolly Christmas. I'm pretty sure that one will be next for the crime of mentioning the mistletoe (hung where you can see), and the instruction to "kiss her once for me". Another cute, flirtatous comment that is not allowed any more.
