“But I’ve always thought of the song as an anthem of foreplay heading toward consensual sex.” “I’ve been hearing all the noise about it,” she told Westword in an email.

Before being further popularized by Dean Martin, it won an Academy Award for Best Original Song from the 1949 movie Neptune’s Daughter, in which the number is sung by both a man pursuing a woman and a woman pursuing a man.ĭavis disputes claims that the song promotes date rape. “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” written by Frank Loesser in the ’40s, has long been a holiday favorite. While we are sensitive to those who may be upset by some of the lyrics, the majority of our listeners have expressed their interpretation of the song to be non-offensive.” “Respondents voted 95 percent in favor of us keeping the song as part of KOSI 101.1’s tradition of playing all of your holiday favorites. "We value the opinion of all our listeners and appreciate the feedback we received,” says KOSI 101.1 program director Jim Lawson in a statement. Radio stations across the United States followed suit, including Denver's KOSI 101.1, which initially quit playing the tune and then held a poll to decide its fate, ultimately bringing it back on air. The world we live in is extra sensitive now, and people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place.”
“Now, I do realize that when the song was written in 1944, it was a different time, but now while reading it, it seems very manipulative and wrong. “I gotta be honest, I didn't understand why the lyrics were so bad.until I read them,” he wrote on November 27. The most recent debate over “Baby It’s Cold Outside” started when Cleveland radio personality Glen Anderson posted an explanation on Star 102’s website about why the station would no longer play the song.
In that version, Rateliff sings the duet with longtime collaborator Julie Davis, the visionary Denver musician behind Bluebook. The #MeToo-inspired tug-of-war over whether “Baby It’s Cold Outside” should be banned from the airwaves is not impacting radio play of Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats' version of the song, says Chris Tetzeli of 7S Management, which represents the group.
