A controversy has erupted on American airwaves: Should Frank Loesser’s Christmas classic, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, be banned by radio stations? Those in favour of banning the song claim it promotes date rape, with the male singer refusing to accept a woman’s reasons for wanting to go home. Defenders argue that it’s just a light-hearted, humorous and flirty song from a different era.
According to Fox News, the controversy started after an Ohio radio station pulled it from its playlist after a listener complained about the lyrics.
