Christmas is cancelled: the 10 festive songs they tried to ban
Leave it to the left to show their inner Grinches and try to cancel Christmas.

Baby it’s cold outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYMF55-HO98
'Baby it's cold outside' is a great song...always reminds me and Mrs. Drebin of our courtship days ;-)...I never did want to let her (or me) go home...finally got my wish.
Rap rape songs are A-OK though.
What’s an example of that?
Ricardo sang it to Esther Williams and Betty Garret serenaded Red.
Anyone watching Skelton's antics and taking offense needs to get a life.
The “Every Christmas Song is Racist” nonsense is a product very similar to the “Every Rock ‘n’ Roll Song is About Heroin” theory (including Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine”).
One of my old favorites. I must be a sexist pig.
It doesn’t sound like it’s about rape, but the rap lyrics at the link at post 5 are pretty disgusting.
I think they should review Wet A** P*ssy and get back to us.
I no longer care, whether the song is or isn’t. My GAF meter doesn’t even twitch.
The problem, is it will never end. Any word, any phrase, any tune is going to upset some neurotic whack job somewhere. There is no way around this.
If you don’t like a tune, don’t listen to it. If you’re going to censor, try to show a little even-handedness. “Baby It’s Cold Outside” is pretty genteel stuff compared to a gazillion tunes since 1990.
So consequently, I’m not interested in any opinions.
I guess the government should ban all music, TV shows, media, books.
Date rape, to me, is using physical force, drugging someone, etc.
But convincing them of the potential of a shared evening seems perfectly legitimate. As long as the person has the ability to walk out the door, it’s a choice. An adult choice, but a legitimate choice.
Yes.
It is not even a Christmas song dumb butt.
Or in your delusional brain does any song that is about cold or winter have to be a "Christmas" song? What do you do with "It's June in January"?
Hit your remaining brain cell with a hammer to see if you can get it working again.
Hello Mr. Unum, Love You BIO !
Oh, geez not this s___ again!
The song was written by a man to be sung every year by him and his wife at Christmas parties. They apparently were a big hit, and the wife was not happy when he sold the song.
Also, in the original movie it appeared in, two sets of couples were singing it, and the male and female reversed the roles in the second. I.E. in one version, the man was trying to convince the woman to stay in one couple's version. And in the other, the woman is trying to convince the man to stay.
Baby it's cold outside [From the movie Neptune's Daughter. Probably mostly remembered for this song - which went on win the Academy Award for best song.]
