Cold Controversy Cash

December 19, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] You might have heard the controversy surrounding the classic holiday song Baby It’s Cold Outside.

Some think that the song is misogynistic and offensive and should not be played. Others – including Dean Martin’s daughter, Deana Martin – are defending it as a sweet and flirty song.

Since the controversy, sales of the song have skyrocketed. In fact, it’s currently one of the top ten digital downloads.

This celebrity couple is talking about cashing in on the controversy by doing a quick version of the song together!

They think that the fact that they are a couple  – along with a couple of changes in the lyrics – will make the song better and give them a big hit that will resell year after year.

There’s a problem, though: Only one of them can actually sing!

Couple:

[Optional] Do you find the original song offensive?

    John Legend and Chrissy Tiegan
    Optional: No, not at all.

    Couple: this has got to be either fw’s Justin Timberlake/Jessica Biel or John Legend/Chrissy Teagen

    [Optional] Do you find the original song offensive? Yes.

    I so agree!!

    Couple: I dunno…it’s not Gwen and Blake because they can sing. Maybe JLo and ARod, but this doesn’t strike me as being up her alley.

    [Optional] Do you find the original song offensive? No. If we found everything offensive from a million years ago, we’d be in deep trouble. The cultural is trying to change and back when this song had popularity the temperature was exceptionally misogynistic.

    I think it could be really cute if the guy is trying to leave and the girl is trying to get him to stay.

    This song goes far beyond “seduction” and “flirting.” The lyrics should make people uncomfortable. A couple of fine examples -“what’s the sense in hurtin’ my pride?” And “how can you do this thing to me?” Who cares about her, he has needs, right? He is pressuring her into staying when she clearly wants to leave. How is that seductive or flirty? And the line “Say, what’s in this drink?”
    Come on.

    @conservaterian, yes – it was much simpler when women (among others) knew their place, wasn’t it now?

    Happy Holidays!

    I agree with your pick and your opinion. Baby it’s Cold Outside is one of my favorite Christmas songs. It reminds me of a much simpler time. Merry Christmas!!

    Evan Ross and Ashley Simpson Evan Ross can sing and no the song isn’t offensive

  11. Catseyezzz says

    December 20, 2018 at 12:54 pm

    Exactly! It’s a January or February Song.. President’s Day Song!!

  12. Awwbreed says

    December 20, 2018 at 12:50 pm

    Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.

    Nope, not at all.

    THANK YOU. Gwen doesn’t “sing”. At least in my opinion. She is nasal and autotuned. She is famous for being “pretty”. There is a god awful song I keep hearing that I THINK is her..it is awful.

  14. WorkHardBeNice says

    December 20, 2018 at 11:02 am

    Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo?

    *I find most rap and death metal way more offensive than a song about some guy trying to charm his girl into hanging out a little longer.

  15. cally2 says

    December 20, 2018 at 10:58 am

    Probably John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, I don’t know.

    It’s worth noting that the original score called the two parts “Wolf” and “Mouse,” so it was in fact intended to have predatory undertones. It’s literally right there in the score. Sorry if that ruins your argument about “PC culture.”

  16. montebell says

    December 20, 2018 at 10:24 am

    Oh yeah, this could be them. She definitely likes to be “on.”

  17. mostlylurker says

    December 20, 2018 at 10:05 am

    Ah googly, stop talking sense.

  18. mostlylurker says

    December 20, 2018 at 10:04 am

    as always, people love their outrage and lack of nuance is a way to get yourself there. The song reflects the dynamics of an older generation, and of behaviors that, for very fine reason, would be criticized today. Im pretty dry eyed myself here, but if you want to weep, do so both for those who can’t listen to the song and in its context, and for those who don’t realize why why people point out what’s outdated about it in the first place. meanwhile ill be with the grown-ups in the room.

    this would not surprise me one bit!

  20. proloz says

    December 20, 2018 at 8:40 am

    My first thought was Gwen and Blake. Let’s face it she’s not a great singer, BUT buy the phrasing of quickie version it leads me to think of Bieber and Baldwin with their quickie wedding.

  21. cancun says

    December 20, 2018 at 8:35 am

    JLo and ARod

  22. angelbratt says

    December 20, 2018 at 8:14 am

    Bey and JZ.

    I find it offensive to call it a Christmas song

    If not them, it is kimye or bieberwin

  23. angelbratt says

    December 20, 2018 at 8:05 am

    Lol! You go girl!

  24. aaaSeeK says

    December 20, 2018 at 6:52 am

    Uh…Blake and Gwen?

    Of course it’s not offensive. I weep for a generation that seems to come out of the womb knowing all about sexual assault but has absolutely no clue about seduction.

  25. CharpBunny says

    December 20, 2018 at 6:47 am

    Blake and Gwen first came to mind. But it says only one of them can actually sing, unless it was a subtle diss.
    J-lo and Arod also come to mind.
    Ugh Kim & Kanye?
    When I stopped to actually listen to the song, I raised an eyebrow but it’s not something I’d complain about or boycot.

  26. kittypryde777 says

    December 20, 2018 at 6:39 am

    Couple: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas

    [Optional] Do you find the original song offensive? NO. Absolutely ridiculous how over-PC things have gotten.

  27. queenmother8 says

    December 20, 2018 at 6:02 am

    blake & gwen?

  28. bluekisses07 says

    December 20, 2018 at 4:59 am

    Couple: first one comes to mind is either Chrissy Teagan with her overinflated sense of self worth with husband John Legend. Or Justin Beiber and Hailey Ballwin.

  29. dadiegirl says

    December 20, 2018 at 3:31 am

    Don’t know the couple but I love that song. To me, it was always about a guy trying to get a girl to stay over. She wants to, but is very concerned about what people will think. Never got the impression that he was using force or trying to drug her! People are bored and have nothing to talk about!

  30. nycmadam says

    December 20, 2018 at 3:22 am

    Kanye and Kim

    The song is fine, leave it alone. Otherwise, half of pop Christmas songs should be yanked. How about Santa Baby, the cliche anthem of gold diggers?

  31. parkland45 says

    December 20, 2018 at 2:12 am

    I never liked the song (music &/or lyrics). It has always had a creepy vibe to me. Even as a kid, I picked up on it (& back then it was considered just another cold weather song like Sleigh Ride).

  32. flygirluk says

    December 20, 2018 at 2:08 am

    John Legend & Chrissy

  33. Sleepyandconfused says

    December 20, 2018 at 1:27 am

    Biebs with Baldwin?

  34. sweetiepeach says

    December 20, 2018 at 1:05 am

    Miley Cyrus and Liam Hensworth

  35. sherri says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:59 pm

    Blake Shelton/Gwen Stefani

    It was written in a different time and place. There are so many old songs that could be deemed offensive, it seems like overreaching. You would think as much as we know now, songs today would be written with more care and consideration to women.

  36. Blossom says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:58 pm

    Gwen Stefani and her fella

  37. GayleStorm says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:26 pm

    Oh, my Lord. I have no idea. Bieber and Baldwin?? Obviously, someone that wants to cash in.

    Leave the song ALONE! It was and will always be a Christmas classic. Quit ruining everything with the PC BS!!! I am so sick of it.

  38. oyevey says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:07 pm

    Nick Jonas and his new “wife” .

  39. celebiddy says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:04 pm

    Okay now i really want the biebers to make this song and video and bless my life. I’ll stream the * out of it every year while i wrap presents, promise!

  40. celebiddy says

    December 19, 2018 at 11:02 pm

    Miley & liam? Justin & haley? Gigi and zayn?

    Definitely not offensive. It’s a holiday classic! Oh right, seduction and flirting are crimes now.

  41. rayarubyrex says

    December 19, 2018 at 10:40 pm

    Chrissy Tiegen & John Legend

  42. aaaPanda says

    December 19, 2018 at 10:14 pm

    I amused myself for a minute thinking how Bieber and Hailey would look doing this and lose all their followers in an instant. I imagine it is a much older couple with no need to look cool.

  43. thisisannoying says

    December 19, 2018 at 9:47 pm

    John Legend and Chrissy Teigen?

  44. pancakephanny says

    December 19, 2018 at 9:44 pm

    John Legend and Cheissy Teagen?

  45. sabrina325 says

    This has Kardashian and West stink all over it

  47. howdywiley says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:48 pm

    Gwen and Blake

  48. KCeagle says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:36 pm

    John Legend & Chrissy Tea-spiller

    I don’t personally find the song offensive and think people need to chill the * out, because baby it’s cold outside.

  49. Khaleesi says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:33 pm

    Tiegen and Legend or Gwen and Blake

  50. sunshine702 says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:32 pm

    Jlo and Arod.

    Not at all

    Omg that sounds epic bad funny. Dooo it.
    Like Paris Hilton “Stars are Blind” bad.

  51. bertwheeler says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:19 pm

    Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban
    No. What offends me is that it’s suddenly considered a Christmas song because baby, it’s cold outside.

  52. boyjack4 says

    December 19, 2018 at 7:13 pm

    Beiber and Baldwin
    Not at all,it’s from the 50’s when its words had different connotations

  53. jdej412 says

    December 19, 2018 at 6:55 pm

    Nick Jonas & Priyanka?

  54. njgossipfan321 says

    December 19, 2018 at 6:50 pm

    John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

    The song is not offensive-The world has gone mad!

  55. GooglyMoogly says

    December 19, 2018 at 6:25 pm

    Total guess: John Legend and Chrissy Teagen?

    I am not offended but I’ve always thought the lyrics are kinda….eeeep…is he drugging her drink or getting her drunk? Is he keeping her from leaving when she’s obviously trying to get out of there? It could be interpreted in different ways…but i’m not smashing my albums with the song on it…
