Due again, the usuals

Forever banished from my xmas playlists in any case.

Thought this revive was going to be about the Bill Murray/Jenny Lewis duet.

yes, please let this word die with 2013

Know Your Meme
Rape Sloth is an advice animal image macro series featuring a photograph of a sloth that appears to be whispering in a woman’s ear. The captions often contain creepy sexual innuendo, pick up lines and alarming threats that are meant to disturb the reader, in a similar vein to ...

The updated version (now non-rapey!)

http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/02/us/baby-its-cold-outside-cover-trnd/index.html

" I really can't stay/Baby I'm fine with that" opens the song,

a) Is it still "rapey" if Rufus Wainwright sings the male lead?

b) Bubl'e doesn't have the definitive version of ANY song.

c) Women who smoke are generally accepted as "loose" so feel free to liquor them up and ply you wares;)

d) Listen to the interplay on the version from Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery and call it day, or, shitcan the whole deal and listen to Billie Holiday have a go at it on "I´ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm".

i really love this song !! but i always feel bad for listening to it for all the lore

the Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery version is the only one I've got, it doesn't sound very seasonal but it absolutely smokes.

... i especially love how coming out of the vamp and back into the chorus, Montgomery misses a string and Jimmy comes right back a does the same thing in response on his Hammond.

there's an everydayfeminism thinkpiece just begging to be written about how this song is surprisingly sex-positive by jazz age standards and how it's patronizing to assume that the woman is acting under coercion when she makes the empowering choice to define her sexuality on her own terms by accepting the man's advances in spite of conventional morality and received wisdom advising her to the contrary.

"4 Reasons Why 'Baby It's Cold Outside' Isn't As Rapey As You Think"

I think the fact that the girl at the end cheerfully says "baby it's cold outside," (i.e. "ok, I'll stay,") makes it pretty obvious that the song is not "rapey," not to mention that most of her protests are like "what will the neighbors think" kind of stuff. Even having to read it this closely to make the point makes me die inside a little.

ahead of his time

can we drop the use of the word "rapey"? It's annoying as hell.

resolution to ban the word rapey and michael buble

all in favor

We haven't had that spirit here since 1984.

"rapish" more grammatically correct

I think it was linked earlier on the thread: http://persephonemagazine.com/2010/12/listening-while-feminist-in-defense-of-baby-its-cold-outside/

Still not a Christmas song, tho.

I like that explanation, but what are some other examples of this stock joke? I asked this upthread and nothing specific came up.

I can think of one possible example in The Rules of the Game (Christine: "I drank way too much; I don't know what I'm doing," right before going off with St. Aubin).

In The Rules of the Game is every exception. It is life itself.

trans-era humorlessness is a helluva drug

(i mean "across eras" there, to be clear)

Post flagged.

what're those New Puritan membership dues?

Now I want a Neil Young Trans-era Baby It's Cold Outside.

I'm cool with this being a poll/discussion on a message board; less so with this kind of action. I just don't see how anyone who argues strongly on one side or the other of this issue is going to come out looking good.

I don't think I have ever heard this song

I don't know if the point is raised on this long thread; but I think it's interesting that in the original movie, Neptune's Daughter, the song is performed twice -- first, by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalbán (with the familiar dynamic); and then again later, in a "role-reversal" twist, in which Betty Garrett is trying to convince Red Skelton to let her stay. Both versions are in this clip:
