A Cherished Relic from My Childhood
BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
from
NEPTUNES’s DAUGHTER (1946)
with
Esther Williams
Ricardo Montalban
Red Skelton
Betty Garrett
With a Warped View of Life Could Try
To Make Something Smutty Out of
This Delightful Bit of Fluff from a
Regrettably Bygone Era

This illustrates why #MeToo is such a farce, as every FAILED attempt at sexual seduction COULD be interpreted as an act of sexual HARASSMENT. And HARASSMENT (fear of the other being "too close") is a liberals worst nightmare (although they pretend all the "scary other" are really just the same as you and me, and therefore refuse to restrict immigrant entry into the country)
ReplyDeletebtw - Could the "unstated" liberal objection be that Ricardo is Hispanic and it is through THAT (racist/not sexist) lens they consider this song? ;)
DeleteI'm POSITIVE that consideration never entered anyone's thoughts in1 946. I remmber my females relstives –– including my MOTHER –– SWOONING over Ricardo Mntalban. They all though he was the cutest thing to come along since Van Johnson.
DeletePlease rmember too the immense popuarity of RICKY RICARDO (Desi Arnaz) when I Lov Lucy arrived c. 1950. No ne WE knew had any truble at ALL accpeting "Ricky" as Lucille Ball's husband. Anrememberhow often Lucy made fun of "Ricky's" account?
Thanks to the vicious machnatiions of Leftists, who've been fucking with our heads, for at least half a century now, those harmless, innocent gestures onc u iversally accepted by all, would cause a nationwide FIRESTORM of CONTROVERSY today.
The country is going to hell in a Handbasket.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama has proved to be the most bitterly divisive President in America's memory. Even Clinton wasn't as bad in the height of his Monica Lewinsky act of insanity. I didn't see the sort of bipartisanship,or the dismissive arrogant air among the Democrats. When President Clinton was brought down to earth and impeached.
If we are to be saved, we need to stand behind President Trump, who only really wants America to be Great Again... And if we don't, I'm afraid that we are doomed.
A delightfully light hearted, entertaining, and harmless tune. The #MeToo movement has apparently gone totally insane.

Leave it up, or delete me but... this lib thinks all the the hubbub over this song is ridiculous. It perfectly illustrates the extreme left wing of the Democratic party.
ReplyDeleteNuts...
Yes, INDEED! Thanks!
DeleteSANITY needs all the support she can get these days.
Merry Christmas!
<];^}> Ho Ho Ho!
That is how it was done. Women expected men to be the aggressor.
ReplyDeleteAs far as today, I'd say it is a case of pointing idiots in a direction and they don't know where to stop.
YUP! There is a definite REASON God designed MEN with a POLE and WOMEN with a HOLE.
DeleteThat means, of course, we guys have to double precautions at all times to make sure we don't FALL IN.

I've been told on good athority by a respected fellow blogger that this delightful number has been targeted by the Left because it's –– now get this –– HETERO-NORMATIVE!
ReplyDeleteHow d'ya like THEM apples?
If you feel inclined to say "GEEESH!" please be my guest.
AH, the Gay Mafia strikes AGAIN!
DeleteWell, they don't make babies,
DeleteThey're told they're rotten,
So they "make waves"
So they're not forgotten,
But Ol' Miz. Grundy
She jest keeps scowlin' along.
Obviously I get a big kick out of this light-hearted, playful little song, but I can't for the life of me imagine WHY anyone tday would label it a CHRISTMAS SONG, which is what the ignoramuses who dominate the ENEMEDIA are doing right now.
ReplyDeleteWe really do live in a Dumbed Down Age of unmitigated STUPIDITY.
That's because we've replaced Wisdom, Heartfelt Affection and Good Humor with heavier and heavier doses of sterile, cold-hearted TECHNOLOGY. UGH!
