Then if you’ve got the stomach Google the lyrics to “Love Game” by Eminem.“The kind of story that is perfect for being snowed in with.” – Blogger A.M. To see what popular culture is like in America in 2022 is like compared to 1949, Google the lyrics to “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” More than a few radio stations that banned “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” for supposedly glorifying date rape and sexually harassments have no problem playing the more milquetoast songs of rappers who make their millions in other songs that blatantly celebrate the objectification and sexual abuse of women. If one is going after sin in music, perceived or otherwise, when it comes to stopping sexual harassment then perhaps those indignant on the internet might want to focus their energies on “musical” works that leave nothing to the imagination nor are open to interpretation.
#BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE FREE#
People are free to rant, rave and organize boycotts on social media.īut they give no traction to their cause when they nitpick cultural nuances to bits while letting be wholesale blatant examples of wrong that abound get a pass. One needs to keep that in mind as the “influencers” - whether they are on social media or in position of power - are not of one mind. Social mores are many and certainly not universal. I can say that I like hearing various versions of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” from Louis Armstrong & Velma Middleton and Lee Ann Womack & Harry Connick Jr. I’ve also been told by some that I’m clueless when it comes to not being aware if someone is flirting with me. I’ve been told by more than a few people that I’m a prude. Rather its about making a mountain out of a grain of sand when it comes to demanding the rest of the world rewrite history - cultural and otherwise - to reflect their self-center of the universe views of what the world is or has been.
This is not an attempt to deflect from their point, regardless of how culturally moot 1949 is compared to today’s social mores that make the Roaring ‘20s look like a repressed version of the Victorian Age. Not a peep from the people demanding the banishment of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” was made at the time about the worst genre of rap music that leaves nothing to the imagination about the glorification of rape or sexual harassment.
