Mother f***ing this! What the f*** is with "Santa Baby"?! Christ. Depending on the singerit being Eartha Kitt's version alone, it can sound very nice. Fixed. |

It's not as bad to me as the ones that are more overtly sexual in tone about Santa. Like Santa Baby is awful. It literally ends with the singer saying she wants Santa to come down her chimney. Christmas in the Sand is worse thanks to the lyric, "He said 'You look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice". Songs that sexualize Santa are just wrong! Not as bad as comics that sexualize Santa:  For how homophobic Warrior was in life, his comic sure did have a lot of homoerotic imagery.  |

Funnily enough one of my friends started a Facebook thread asking for creepy love songs, one of the first mentioned along with "Every Breath You Take", "One Way or Another" and "My Sharona"

"My Sharona" is just...yeah. "Baby, It's Cold Outside" comes off rapey as f***, regardless of who is singing it. Always hated that song. |

Yeah, pretty much anything from the 70s, songs or anyone famous... More than any time there seems to be a pedo vibe.... |

And there's this: {Spoiler}{Spoiler}  Hmm, his wife said he changed his views on it before he died, maybe what she really meant was that he always was OK with it, it's just that he was always ashamed of it, and his face was always like his face in the comic after, with Santa...uh, um, you know[/Jerry Jarrett] Funnily enough one of my friends started a Facebook thread asking for creepy love songs, one of the first mentioned along with "Every Breath You Take", "One Way or Another" and "My Sharona" I have a friend who thought this was creepy: This friend of mine said this song sounds kinda stalker-ish, and coming on too strong. |

And why are we trying to ruin Christmas music?
I love it all. I don’t find it creepy. Because I’m not dumb. And know that these songs are what they are. Baby it’s cold outside is not about rape. It’s a fun Christmas song. People need to calm down. And stop looking for things where there are none. Dammit. Lol

I remember when I was a kid, we always read a storybook version of 12 Days of Christmas. It was very unique. It was all done as letters, like between the couple in the song. The letters start out very loving about the gifts and grow more and more agitated with the bigger gifts. The book ends with a very formal letter from a lawyer informing the true love that along with the letter, they were also getting back the drummers, pipers, lords, dancing ladies, milking maids, swans, geese, calling birds, french hens, turtle doves, and the pear tree. The person who was sent everything kept the rings and the partridge. It was a very funny take on the subject. |

The worst version of Baby, It's Cold Outside is Jessica Simpson's. If only for the note she hits at the end
It is so dreadful

The weird thing is that I never found the original version of Baby, It's Cold Outside all that weird or creepy. It was originally used in the Esther Williams movie Neptune's Daughter, which was not remotely a Christmas movie (it was released in June 1949 and had zero Christmas theme). The point there was that it was ironic. It was a nice, warm night out but Ricardo Montalban insisted it was cold to get her to stay. Then they switched it to the more comedic characters and had Betty Garrett be the aggressor to Red Skelton, as he was scrambling to escape her clutches. It was all done as comedy and I seriously doubt anyone would find it terrifying or creepy. It's when you make it a Christmas song and take it literally that it becomes a bit strange.

Santa Baby is fine until that 'chimney' line, then it shines a whole new light on things. I mean for one thing, will his sack fit? |

It ain't any better than that song about an octogenarian getting trampled by venison.

God, I hate that song. Good Patton bit, though. |
