A Kentucky radio station certainly made its opinion on the controversial 1940s song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" known this weekend, by playing it on repeat during a two-hour marathon on Sunday.
The Christmas classic made headlines earlier this season when an Ohio radio station removed the holiday hit from its lineup in November after a listener expressed concerns on the lyrics, reigniting an old debate across the country. Other radio stations reevaluated the song after WDOK Christmas 102.1 took it off the air, but WAKY in Elizabethtown didn't even briefly consider pulling it. Instead, the station decided to embrace the 1944 song, written by Frank Loesser, and some of the other versions that followed. "I'm not sure why it's controversial," Joe Fredele, director of programming for WAKY, told WLKY. "We've played this song for years, you know, this song is older than WAKY is. It's almost 70 years old." Kentuckians were able to listen to "Baby, It's Cold Outside" on WAKY from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday. The station played five different versions of the tune, WLKY reports. "Whoever said theres something wrong with this song, seriously has nothing better to do with their time!" one listener wrote. "Way to go! Thank you for standing up for the rest of us!" another added. "Thank you for playing this song! I listen every morning on my way to work, especially LOVE the national anthem you play after the 6am news! Proud retired Army Vet," one man echoed. Fredele said he was proud to play the song, and thankful for the positive responses. "It's just a fun way of saying, 'Hey, this is our vote for that song. It's a fun song. It's a romantic song, don't pick on it,'" Fredele added. He confirmed he's also a supporter of the #MeToo movement but he doesn't think this song should be considered problematic. "This song is not about that. All it is ... is a dialogue between a man and a woman, and at the end of the song, you hear them harmonize together, so they're agreeing basically," Fredele said. "It's just a fun way of saying, 'Hey, this is our vote for that song. It's a fun song. It's a romantic song, don't pick on it.'" Joe Fredele But WDOK Christmas 102.1 host Desiray told Fox 8 there have been many valid points raised about the song. "People might say, Oh, enough with that #MeToo, but if you really put that aside and listen to the lyrics ... the tune might be catchy, but let's maybe not promote that sort of an idea," Desiray added. In the tune, a female sings: "I really cant stay, to which a man responds: "But baby, its cold outside. In another part of a song, a woman is heard singing lines like "Say what's in this drink?," "The answer is no" and "I've gotta get home."

I really dont see why anyone brings up that point when it has no bearing on how the song can be interpreted today. Phrases and monickers lose and change meaning over time. Sure, Ill give you they probably didnt intend to write a rapey-sounding song, but the lines as they exist today line up more with rape than a woman giving excuses for doing what she wants to do And if you dont take it that way and you look at it as more of a time piece thats fine.

I remember around the time of Cali's drought that it was suggested to eat less meat because meat production consumes more water.
