Canada Hockey Place Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Always liked the Ella/Louis Jordan version. Never thought much about the words. Figured it was a Christmas song so it was innocent. Back in 2004 there was a documentary called The Power of Nightmares by BBC. And Part 1 was called Baby It's Cold Outside. Since then I can't help but associate the song with that. It was used for creepy effect in that documentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'm not a fan of this. I just looked up some lyrics of songs on CBC radio that would be considered far more controversial. You can apply context however you want, but in my context this song isn't about roofies and sexual assault. Whatever though, it's not a hot button for me either way.

Monty Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This is my wife’s favourite Christmas song, and she’s well aware of the context when it was written and what it means, as she received one of her two (or three) minors in University in Music. Needless to say, this song won’t be banned in our household. Because we’re not made of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, critics are saying that this song promotes predatory behaviour. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/canadian-radio-stations-baby-it-s-cold-outside-1.4931867 And as a result, Rogers and CBC are pulling that song off their playlist. For me, I really couldn't care less with regards to hearing it on the radio. BUT I will say that people who think that the song is 'dangerous' for people to listen to is seriously out to lunch. What kind of a goddamn world are we living in now? I bet that if I defend this song, I'm suddenly going to be called a predator and someone who doesn't understand what an abused victim thinks about it. This is SO absurd. We need a complete overhaul of this whole "political correctness" garbage. Is this seriously how we're going to be passing our time now? Nitpicking on anthem lyrics and pulling a song off the radio due to some misguided attempt to save society? Maybe I missed it, but did anyone in the actual article actually suggest this.

VanGnome Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Never underestimate the ability for a runaway movement to make something into a reason to champion "change", even if that judgement comes decades after the fact and is taken completely out of context. This is the culmination of mental gymnastics and wordsmithing to a degree that until recently has been absolutely unparalleled. A lot of people like to point to how radical the feminist movement was in the 60's, but even they look reasonable by comparison to today's standards as they had legitimate causes to fight for. This pseudo feminism is just way out of control. I think that if parents had done a better job in raising their children, especially their daughters, to have a much more even headed world view and perspective on things that happen, then maybe not quite so many people would be sucked into this over the top PC culture.

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This song is bad too. But I love it. Then again, how about songs like "Sweet Sixteen", or "Sexy and 17"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 In our wacky world..... "Baby it's cold outside..." = sexism, predatory, the patriarchy, whatever. "Wrist icicles" and "dick bicycle"... that's just empowerment, self-exploration, and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DADDYROCK Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 These people have a President going off the rails and climate change and they can get their panties in a bunch over a Christmas song? These people have to find reality soon, before the planet burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
