"Baby It's Cold Outside" -- Holiday Song? Rapey?

This conversation is not a holiday conversation.

if I could snap my fingers and have everything associated with this song erased from the planet I would

sorry John Legend

Sorry straight America, it's not a very charming song.

from here on out, everytime somebody says they've never heard the song I am posting the Ray Charles/Betty Carter YouTube. Their version is a good song! It is absolutely problematic.

The Times recommends this version with Ms Piggy ad Nureyev which the description calls "Miss Piggy Geting(sic) Lucky in the Steam Room"

also via the NYT story, here's a crazy detail about the song's role in the "inspiration of Al Qaeda":

“The dance hall convulsed to the tunes on the gramophone and was full of bounding feet and seductive legs,” Qutb wrote later. “Arms circled waists, lips met lips, chests met chests, and the atmosphere was full of passion.”

Wow @ "Tupperware"

That Ray Charles/Betty Carter version is actually a good example of the song being performed as a "playful" exchange between two equals, and not at all like she is being coerced or otherwise stuck on the weaker side of a power dynamic.

Love the German: Too-pah-Vaw-ray

that Ray Charles/Betty Carter rendition is wonderful, its a shame to discover that this song did 9/11

Holiday Song? Killy?

there should be more psychotic Christmas songs

city sidewalks, bloody sidewalks

this is Satan's big day

xxxp That meme would also work well with an iconic Duvall/Nicholson still from The Shining.

Simply... having... a murderous Christmastime

Last Christmas
I cut out your heart

Jingle Hell

All I want for Christmas is your two front teeth

I fell for you last Christmas
When I saw you from afar
I'd like to cut your boobs off
And keep them in a jar.

silent night, deadly night has nothing on that album cover

I saw Mommy disemboweling Santa Claus...

she didn't hear me creep down the stairs to take a peek
and now I'm really fucked up and I can't get back to sleep

I fixed #BabyItsColdOutside.
In this version she ignores his entreaties to stay and heads on out. Turns out there WERE no cabs to be had out there, it WAS up to her knees out there, and her frozen body is found the next day.

Everybody happy now?

It's back, sped up and inverted. Feliz Navidad!

^That's from 2012... but I bet we will get a "clever" COVID-themed rewrite from someone this year.

I really can't stay
Please stay six feet away

My money is on that family that did the pajama rap. I know the husband did his "hilarious" take a few years ago, but surely this is low hanging fruit for them.

D'oh! Saw news of candy cane vinyl with a link to this song, so thought it was a new release. Haven't been following them for years (obv).

Baby it's Cov'd Outside

fucker writes itself

Say what's in this drink?

Hydroxychloroquine

Is it me, or does this thread revive seem to come earlier every year?

Please pull down your mask (Why would you even ask?)
There’s no need to hide (It’s not about pride)
I’ll stay by your side (“...If I got pneumonia and died”?)

I know I won’t see you later
When I’m hooked up to a ventilator
(Both:) So, baby, let’s stay inside

stay two metres awaaay

or six feet (USA)

its not officially the holiday season until my facebook feed is filled with people who ride for Michael Jackson and TI busting out the handclap emojis to post about how THIS-SONG-IS-NOT-OK!
