Pretty ridiculous 2 try to apply the me-too movement to a classic Christmas song.

It’s a bad song but in general anyone who complains about lyrics in a song is a shitty person.

I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...

This....forget the lyrics. It just musically sucks.

while i agree that the people opposed to this song are overreacting, the line "say, what's in this drink?" does indeed sound rapey.

I think the simple and most likely answer is he gave her hard liquor which is probably much stronger than she is accustomed to.

I'm pretty sure this is a case of presentism. You have to look at the context of the time in which the song was written. A woman simply wasn't allowed the agency to fuck whoever she wanted due to societal constraints. So she had to make up excuses like "he plied me with alcohol" to do what she actually wanted to do. We can have a discussion about how wrong such a patriarchal paradigm was, but I'm reasonably certain that complaining that the song is about a rape that is about to occur is off base. There's something disturbing about the song, but it isn't what people think.

With Jovie singing that song in the shower while Buddy hangs out in the women's locker room, I guess its just a matter of time before the movie Elf gets banned.

The SNL parody of the song was great. Jimmy Fallon was trying to get Cecily Strong to "stay over" and after they get it on the song changes to "Baby, it’s not that bad out there".

That was VERY good.

I noticed it wasn't included last year's SNL Christmas clip show. It probably won't be in this years, either.

It's a bad song. Not because it's about drugging and raping. No no. Because it's done in modern times in F major. But dean motherfucking martin did it in C major.


C. Fucking. Major.

Hmm.

I don't generally care for MANY songs in 'C' major ... just sounds vanilla to me.

Dean Martin makes it sound like ear sex.

I believe 'Imagine' is in C Major. I assume the Rolling Stones probably have at least a couple of songs in C Major, as in their early days they would always tune to the piano in the room, and not a standard key.


I actually put 93.9 on for a couple of songs on my ride home yesterday. I enjoyed it.
