Dean Martin's Daughter Defends 'Baby, it's Cold Outside'
« on: December 11, 2018, 07:08:25 pm »
Radio stations from Cleveland, Ohio to Madison, Wisconsin have stopped playing "Baby, it's Cold Outside" amid a national movement against the song's lyrics. The Christmas song, famously sung by Dean Martin and written for the film Neptune’s Daughter, is no longer the popular tune it once was. The song won the Oscar for Original Song, has been covered multiple times by artists ranging from Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett to Idina Menzel and Michael Buble, and was featured in the beloved Christmas film Elf. Now, in the post-"Me Too" era, critics say the song sends the wrong message about male and female relationships. They want it off the airwaves all together, claiming it promotes date rape and sexual harassment.

The lyrics that give critics particular pause are the lines:

"So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry).
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour).

The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there).
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)."

Cleveland's Star 102 radio station started the trend of taking the song off their Christmas playlist after receiving caller complaints.

So they’re actually arguing society’s primacy over biology? Good luck with that.

Since the evolution of Humans men have chased women until the man was caught. Rules are written down right there in the book of love.

Why monkey with a good thing?

 I find it interesting that RAP is not removed.  Talk about vile lyrics and hateful comments about women.  Oh, we are the wrong skin tone.
