Station pulls “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” due to predatory lyrics

I’m literally shaking.

A radio station in Cleveland has decided to stop playing the popular holiday song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” citing listener concerns about predatory undertones in the lyrics. WSYX/WTTE reports that WDOK Star 102.1 pulled the song from its Christmas music rotation after receiving a call from a listener who suggested it was inappropriate.
quote:
It wasn’t really our decision. It’s the decision of our listeners,” says WDOK midday host Desiray. “People might say, ‘oh, enough with that #MeToo,’ but if you really put that aside and listen to the lyrics, it’s not something I would want my daughter to be in that kind of a situation. The tune might be catchy, but let’s maybe not promote that sort of an idea.”
quote:
Although the station says a clear majority of listeners supported the ban according to a poll on their website, a poll on their Facebook page shows that over 95% of respondents think the song is “a classic.”

The song doesn’t make sense anymore due to global warming.

I heard the PC version this past week on Spotify.

It is a little racey. Some dude begging some chick to stay so he can plow her, she keeps saying she wants to leave.

That song is rapey as frick. Dude about to roofie her drink. No means no, Bing Crosby.

Might as well change the lyrics to “baby it’s cold outside, let me PIIYB” if you are going to ban it anyway.

Any woman that says she wouldn’t want to be nailed by Dean Martin is either frigid or a liar.

Every year until it’s banned in America. That’s the objective.

Is melting over this a new OT Christmas tradition?

Change the station. I doubt that your radio only has one.

Begging is the key word. He's not making her do anything.

Cowering to minority is the demise of a nation.
it's been around for 60+ yrs, and all of sudden in 2019 it's bad.
People are just sick. Probably a Xmas hater called it in.
Hope the 95% that said it was a classic should ban the station to see if they play it again.

I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll 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)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside
Ah, you're very pushy you know?
I like to think of it as opportunistic
I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)
I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)
I really can't stay (Get over that old out)
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Okay fine, just another drink then
That took a lot of convincing!

If this would have never become a story it would have never become an issue.
Like anything else, a rational thinking human being will listen to this song for what it's worth and realize it is a song of it's time and not allow it to influence their behavior. Anyone who does allow it influence their behavior, they have issues that go beyond the lyrics of a song and if it wasn't for the song, it would be something else that would result in them doing something irrational.
