RE: New York Times: "Baby It's Cold Outside"
That was a good article Miguel. I have heard this song all my life--Never did it enter my mind that it was date rape. It's like everything has to be so PC--that any little thing could be hyped up & twisted. Loesser did write this song for parties and it took a lot of persuasion for him to allow it to be used professionally. I saw a special about him. I believe he didn't think the song was that good-ha! Little did he know it would turn out to be a classic tune.
And "what's in this drink" I've heard this line in many old movies (love TCM) It was just like an expression used then. People still use it.
