I don’t even know where to start with this one. I was up at 4 AM this morning because my wife is going out of town for work. I happened to hear somebody on the TV singing that horrible Christmas song… you know the one… the one that starts off with: Baby, it’s cold outside… yeah, that one, the one where the guy is basically whining and pouring drinks into the girl to get her to stay overnight… the creepiest ‘Christmas seduction/date rape’ song of the holiday season, easily beating out that ‘Santa Baby’ song, which is pretty creepy in a lot of other ways…
Well, the thing is… and this is the ‘thing’ that almost made me blow my first sip of morning coffee right out through my freekin’ snout… but you know what is creepier than a guy pouring booze into a girl while singing about how the driving conditions outside are very unsafe, and that he is so concerned about her that he believes having her sleep with him would be less tragic than her dying in a fiery car crash? I will tell you what is creepier than that… when a guy who is 89 is singing it to a girl who is 29… in a freekin’ bookstore.
This has ruined Christmas for me… and reading books…
***Authors note: I wasn’t really sure it was Lady Gaga. The few times I have seen her… briefly… on TV or whatever, I wasn’t interested enough to pay attention, and she usually had some outlandish makeup on. I think the only reason I recognized her at all is because, way back when, I did a series of posts about jobs that celebrities might have been good at if they weren’t doing what made them famous… and I seem to recall that I Photoshopped a picture of her in that meat-dress… (that was her, right?)… helping to train police dogs. It was a pretty funny picture. I might have to reblog that series… Oh, and I might be old, but I am not ‘listening to Tony Bennett’ old, just so you know.
Pouring My Art Out 
THANK YOU!!
no… thank you…
Everyone is entitled to their opinion as well as free speech & all that jazz. However I thing she is creative & a fabulous performer as well as actress. (Tony Bennett you can have). For someone who is so free spirited you sure are judgy! I’ll still buy your book so I hope it’s good!!
I don’t have anything against Lady Gaga… just the song creeps me out…
Ha ha I always thought that song was meant as a funny gag on the silly lines guys use and the way women play coy. The first time I read someone refer to it as a date rape song I really did laugh out loud.
I doubt they meant it to be as creepy as it is
I still think it’s just a parody type song.
I think it was written way back in 1944, and that is how women were looked at by men in those days.
And how men were looked at by women as well. I was taught that women had to protect themselves from men because men couldn’t possibly control themselves. It was a ladies job to keep a man civilized. This song was so very much a joke about those types of beliefs.
If you say so
If an 89-year old guy singing this, it’s probably because he may need help with his wheelchair and oxygen tank.
He was actually looking pretty spry
Bwah ha ha… those 80 somethings can be quite frisky. It’s like they’re “literally” trying to grab all of life they can before it’s over. ;p
Even today, guys use booze to try to get a girl to spend the night… this isn’t new thing. And then they just keep saying “you know you want to” over and over trying to wear the girl down.
Well the new thang part of it is that women are doing it now too. Or maybe that’s not really so new either. I mean it was common in my teens for a young “lady” to get a guy drunk, have sex with him and then blame him for it in the morning… also deliberately get pregnant and then expect him to marry them… Maybe, some things never really change when it comes to men and women?
I guess not
Hehehehe, Art. Always make me smile.
yay!!!
Yeah sure?
You’ve done some serious blogging, i would have never known..
