A favorite: Baby it's cold outside - YouTube

I really love the interplay, if that's the right word.

Enjoy!

Well admittedly I was looking for a weather report, but it is a nice winter song to enjoy over a cup of hot chocolate with your favorite warmer-upper person on the couch.

Sorry in the 50’s here.

My first album purchase was their debut, self titled LP in '72ish. I'm all for crossing genres, but that might have been of a stretch! Nice, obscure reference tho! Cheers.

The song is no stranger to controversy. The "Me Too" movement tried to have it banned. Some radio stations pulled it.

After 2018 some cover artists were altering the lyrics.

It is an enjoyable song that I listen to throughout the year.

My favorite version:


PS: it's 36° outside.

I think it's very shallow and uninformed of people to use 2020's cultural standards (or lack thereof) to judge cultural positions from past decades or even centuries.

The first pushback to that song was in 1949 from a large religious group.

I did some digging and that song, in its original version, covered by many artists, was one of the most oft played songs on the web during this holiday season.

Folks still like it.

Could not agree more. History, like the news in my opinion, should primarily state the plain facts of the actions and leave the social or political spin to clearly marked opinion and commentary venues. Educators should be able to present socio-economic, race, and cultural differences as possible reasons for discussion of views of history, but as balanced and non-partisan third party perspectives - not to indoctrinate or pressure students to the teacher's political views. As for the change in styles or social acceptability of subjects and behaviors, it's a fine line between accepting that society's views evolve and in past times things were acceptable that may not be now. Too much false outrage is ginned up in many cases where someone who really has no right chooses to be offended on behalf of some "poor victim" who truthfully doesn't feel victimized or offended. Re: the "controversy" over using native American names for sports teams like it was ever intended as a sleight, for one example. Folks getting their pink bloomers in a bunch over nothing so they can virtue signal their supposed superiority. The song being discussed was never anything except a lighthearted representation of the attraction between the sexes. Nothing spurious . . . unless your mind runs that way and you want to twist it to your own dark imaginings.

Mark Steyn did a good (article, not book) about the song. Good read.

Always great to see Red Skelton in action.
