I still can't believe people thought the guy in the song was literally drugging the woman's drink tbh. I always think of this when I hear it:

I think it's one of those songs that is very rooted in a cultural moment and codes that are not perceptible to the younger generations.

I always interpreted it as the woman wanting to stay but cultural perceptions have changed and the song as it is interpreted by our own cultural experiences has become wildly innapropriate.

Yeah, most of the criticism I've seen is that the song has a "no means yes" narrative because of its contemporary morals. She wants to stay, and women who wanted to fuck back then had to play coy or be called loose, or have it assumed you'd fuck any guy who asked, or whatever, but that also means there were plenty of women who said "no," meant it, and were ignored.

So it's fine if you like the song, and it's fine if it just reminds you that social mores in the 1950s were really fucked up, and I can't believe I'm giving in to op's obvious attempt to start this fight before we've even started eating our leftover Halloween candy.

I wasn't even talking about the song in general or any other part of the song but that one specific line.

I was talking about the person who made a "Baby It's Cold Outside" post on Nov 1, not you

This post idea actually came from looking through Norah Jones duets and was going to be submitted in July, but I got sidetracked. I personally just wrote a blurb on origin and recent thoughts on the song because I knew it was going to come up. I don't subscribed to time. I grew up with Christmas in July specials and my neighbors never take down their colored lights. Do what you want when you want to if it doesn't harm anyone.
