Day 3

In spite of the fact this is a terrible Christmas song, I still really like it. It is catchy. It is not however, appropriate.

This song is about some guy trying to bed a girl using the weather as an excuse. It is obvious that he doesn’t really care about her safety or health, he just wants her to stay the night. That is the opposite of the Christmas spirit. At one point the woman asks “Say, what’s in this drink?” implying that the man has resorted to, best case scenario, spiking her drink with alcohol, and worst case scenario date rape drugs to get her to stay with him. That sends up all kinds of warning flags. She should not only leave, but she should run. But you know, it’s a cute song. As cute as a song about sexual harassment can get, I guess.


(Louis Jordan and Ella Fitzgerald's voices may cancel this song off the list)
