CLEVELAND - A Cleveland radio station has stopped playing “Baby It's Cold Outside" this holiday season after it says listeners voiced concern about the song’s predatory undertones amid the “Me Too” movement.

WDOK Christmas 102.1 pulled the song from its around-the-clock rotation of Christmas music this week after receiving a call from a listener who suggested it is inappropriate in 2018.

The call-and-response song written in the 1940s includes a woman singing that she has to leave a man’s house as he tries to lure her to stay.

I'm surprised it took this long. People have lost their fucking minds.

Everyone is offended over everything anymore.

I'm glad I don't have kids that have to grow up with bullshit like this.

They'll ban this song, but the next song they play on the air will be some hip hop song talking about smacking hoes and shooting rival gang members.

I never paid attention to the lyrics until my wife pointed them out to me. She couldnt give a fuck and we both figured SJWs would be triggered and well here we are

I was waiting for it too.

Next thing you know, Elf will be banned or will be shown with that scene cut out. Then we riot.

 

[radioguy6]

I read somewhere Rudolph the red nose reindeer is bigoted and offensive too.

CNN has been at it for 2 years now with this song.

A couple from Minnesota has re-imagined the classic Christmas song "Baby It's Cold Outside" for a 21st-century audience, changing the song's lyrics to emphasize the importance of consent.

Singer-songwriters Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski, both from Minneapolis, said they were inspired to rework the song after bonding over a mutual dislike of the original's lyrics, which were penned in 1944 by Frank Loesser. The duet features a man trying to dissuade a woman from leaving a party despite her repeated protestations that she has to go home. "What's in this drink?" is one of the female lines. "What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?" implores the male voice.

The song's seeming disregard for the woman's desire to leave never sat well with Lemanski or Liza.

"I've always had a big problem with the song. It's so aggressive and inappropriate," said Lemanski, 25.

Liza, 22, said she felt the same way as her boyfriend.

"We started thinking of the open-ended questions that song has," she said. "You never figure out if she gets to go home. You never figure out if there was something in her drink. It just leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth."

So Wednesday night, the couple decided to write a complete set of new lyrics.

I thought a couple years back some group went apeshit over that (the Black Friday thing).

It will be around forever, but white people won't be allowed to say it anymore.

We should send them a Christmas card thanking them for saving us from ourselves...

Bunch of young, think they know it all, liberal, douchbag, Minneapolis fucktards.

It doesn't follow the 2018 PC agenda. Well, guess what, it was written back in 1944. In a very different time.


Anyways, I agree with Jeff. I hate this world at times.

I blame Reddit.

I saw an ad before a youtube video I was watching. It was about the attack on terms like "Merry Christmas", "Christmas vacation", and the holiday itself. It was saying that 90% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Yet this small group wants to make it so 90% of this population should be ashamed of it. Even without the religious undertones, it is still a US holiday. The video made some good points. The person in the video was a Jewish man and even commented that he is happy to hear, and say, "Merry Christmas" to people.

lol why would anything be safe? also people were definitely talking about this a lot last year if not further back

People hearing the song have two choices if they don't like it.

1. Change the station. That's what most listeners have done with songs they don't like for the entire history of radio.

2. Decide on your own that your viewpoint is the only one that matters and tell the radio station to lose the song.

I'm going to listen to the song tomorrow because I like it.

Not to mention the fact that men have pursued women since... the beginning of the human race. It's not like the guy is roofying her.

Time to release the nukes everywhere. Mankind has stopped progressing.

This song really could be about female empowerment since in the 1940’s being a promiscuous woman was highly frowned upon. This woman with a little support from the man in the song got some Christmas cheer and didn’t give a fuck.

Well, all people have a back, with a spine in it, so... All Sir Mix A Lot could say was that he was admiring her spinal curve.
