Why don't they protest "Santa Baby" while they're at it. Isn't it about a woman willing to prostitute herself for rich things?

Santa Baby, by Eartha Kitt


Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, an auto space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be also good
If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
Been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, and fill my stocking with a duplex and checks
Sign your 'x' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry, tonight


-PJ

Seduction is the opposite of rape.

It's the art of the deal, not theft. At least, it is if the parties are more or less equal in bargaining power.

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

In the early 1980’s if a guy stopped asking after his first “no” he would have never gotten anywhere.

I never got physical or angry, but I could be persistent.

My wife says that she was taught that a proper young lady always rebuffed the first advance.

All that being said, courting is confusing enough without getting the PC police involved.

In my world, the line between “persistent” and “rape” was physical force.

My son - who is in college now - says that they are being taught that “no means no” and that they MUST stop any kind of “persistence” at the first “no”.

Good thing that wasn’t the case when I went or he might not be here.

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

“My stepdaughter was here during a college break a couple of Christmases ago and announced how thissong was sexist, misogynist, pro-rape, etc.”

I’d just have said “if that’s what you’re learning at college, maybe it’s time to pay your own tuition” :)

Combined PING! and DANG!

Which makes the young women really, really mad. No wonder everybody on campus these days is miserable.

Normal people understand the difference between "forcing" and "cajoling." But liberals aren't normal.

Yeah, some people might interpret the drink as having a roofie, but really, it’s just about some nice gal employing her anti-slut defenses against an atrractive potential paramour.

Full original movie version which juxtaposes one rendition by Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams and another by Red Skelton and Betty Garrett with the roles reversed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MFJ7ie_yGU

I once heard the oddest pairing on Sirius XM 70s on 7 channel: "Leave Me Alone" by Helen Reddy, followed by "You Can't Change That" by Raydio (Ray Parker, Jr.). If you listen to the lyrics of the latter, it's clearly a song about a stalker.

"Every Breath You Take" is another song about stalking.

“OTOH, that doesn’t apply when Dean Martin sings it because you know she’s just asking about how he mixes his drinks.”

That’s all it means when anybody sings it.

WHAAAAAAT?

So rutting with every female - or male,hey -— you feel like, lie squirrels in a tree, is perfectly ok. But spending time alone with a man and then leaving even when he wishes you to stay a little longer IS PROMOTING RAPE?

Flirting. Seduction. From the days before you screwed like monkeys five minutes after you met. I love that song. I wish I lived back then when there were “reputations” and gallant men trying to skirt it. How fun!!!!

“Why don’t they protest “Santa Baby” while they’re at it. Isn’t it about a woman willing to prostitute herself for rich things?”

No, because this line: “Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring.” means that she insists on marriage.

The words ARE pretty racy. Once I actually read them I believed the song is not an appropriate Christmas song. Call me old-fashioned...


It never mentions Christmas. I don’t see it as a Christmas song. It’s a winter song.

I honestly think the raging lib Seth MacFarlane captures the male part perfectly with his extraordinary voice.
