Christmas FM to pull 'Baby it's Cold Outside'

Dr_serious2

'Baby it's Cold Outside' is the latest victim of the crazy age we live in, having been pulled by Christmas FM.

What next?

That horiffic Slade song would be nice.

Actually for the sake of everyone who has had to work retail can we just ban the lot?

Meh.

Fairy tale of New York should be axed too. How dare Shane McGowan shout Kirsty McCall down in that duet!

Well fook them, I've just pulled Christmas FM from my car's presets.

It's the cultural-Marxist-feminist axis again trying to ruin Christmas for the Broflakes.

Where does that leave Mary's Boy Child ? The gender neutral folks will be losing their minds!!

What’s that got to do with the price of turnips in Glasgow?

Next to get the chop is Fairy Tale of New York over the inclusion of the word "******". These type of people won't be happy until all Christians are executed I think.

As long as Grandma got run over by a Reindeer is not pulled

Of course, The name 'Christmas FM' is exclusionary in what is now a multi faith (and no faith) society, but I wouldn't be one to make a fuss.

Unfortunately we are living in a snowflake society. Seems like you can’t get out of bed these days without offending someone.

Dr_serious2

Catholic Church did a lot of banning in its heyday. They also spent a lot of time telling people there was only one way to think on the issues of the day and that anyone who differed from it should be excluded from social discourse.

The 'tolerant' politically correct types can't see any similarities but they seem just the same to me.

What about Santa Baby. That relationship seems very abusive of the man involved.

And I saw Mammy Kissing Santa Clause never mentions that Santa consented to this assault.

And what about

Grandma got run over by a reindeer - Clear case of Elder abuse

Away in manger - child abuse any child in a manger needs to be taken into care.

Auld Lang Syne does not promote responsible drinking

The first Noel mentions Israel and not a word about the oppressed Palestinian people

Santa Clause is coming to town makes a hero of a man revelling in violating the GDPR regulations

Oh Christmas tree promotes deforestation.



Basically people need to get over themselves. This actually hurts the #metoo movement.

If I had a car, and a radio in it, I definitely wouldn't have preset a Christmas radio station on it.

Jump in my car
I wanna take you home
Jump in my car
It's too far walk on your own

Ah come on I'm a trustworthy guy
(No thank-you sir)
Oh little girl I wouldn't tell you no lies
(I know your game)
How can you say that we only just met
(You're all the same)
Ooh she's got me there, but I'll get her yet
(I got you there)
No you didn't I was catching my breath, and look it's starting to rain and baby you'll catch your death
(Well I dunno)
Ah come it comes nothing to try and you'll arrive home nice and dry

Jump in my car
I wanna take you home
Jump in my car
It's too far walk on your own

Jump in my car
I wanna take you home
Jump in my car
It's too far walk on your own

Ah that's better now your talking sense
(But you best keep still)
Well if you like I'll just put up a fence
(No need to get smart)
Well alright we'll soon be on our way
(Well we better start)
What for?
(Because it's such a long way)
Well why where'd you live?
(I live down South, It's roughly 85 miles)
Hey slow down you must be joking there behind that cute smile
(Oh no I'm not)
Well if you're not there's only one thing to say
(And what's that?)
Get outta the car get on your way!

Get outta my car
(But you just said that you'd take me home)
Well it's just too far
(But there's no way I can get there alone)
I couldn't care less
(Well maybe I could see you next week)
But you look a mess
(Well look who's talking you've got no right to speak)
Get outta my car
(You told me that you were a really nice guy)
Oh well I ain't
Well, yeah get outta my car
Get out, get out of my car

I fairness, the female character does get a bit rapey on the second part of the song. Poor guy just wants to get away from her. It's a bad message to be sending out to anyone impressionable enough to listen to Xmas FM.

Fairytale of New York, hopefully. They should definitely remove the line after 'you scumbag, you maggot' that some people seem to enjoy putting extra effort into singing. Maybe bleep it really loudly or replace it with the Ronan Keating, Moya Brennan version.

No particular reason, other than the fact that it would really annoy the kind of people who get annoyed about that kind of thing.

Just to balance this out - and because I'm even more petty - I've added it to mine. I don't even like Christmas songs, but I'll make sure to listen to it every day now. At some point before the 25th, you'll find me and my car buried in a brick wall.

And ‘Fairytale of New York’, an excellent song that I just cannot listen to anymore. Just too damn overplayed.

There is at least one version where the roles are reversed.

Can Christmas FM just do it properly and remove itself from the airwaves?

I've heard it played on Xmas FM this year. Is someone telling porkies?

No, it's the "you're cheap and you're haggard" song.

Well.... she does call him a cheap lousy ******, clearly hate speech and should be banned as a result.

eviltwin

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Not mad about the song but I did like the Tom Jones, Cerys Matthews version. That song was played to death on Christmas FM over the years and I've never had a problem with it. It's not offensive, can those who don't like it not just ignore it?

I wish thay banned all Christmas music tbh.
Except Frankie goes to Hollywood. That song's class.

In that song I think the word there is used in the Lewis CK kind of way
