Kentucky Radio Station Puts Baby, Its Cold Outside On Repeat
Scott Morefield | Reporter
A Kentucky radio station had an answer for politically correct social justice warriors who are all hot and bothered about the Christmas song “Baby, Its Cold Outside.”
Play it on repeat for two hours straight.
Thats what Elizabethtown, Kentuckys WAKY did on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. during a two hour “Baby, Its Cold Outside” marathon during which it played five versions of the classic Christmas song, according to WLKY.
“Im not sure why its controversial,” station programming director Joe Fredele told WLKY. “Weve played this song for years, you know, this song is older than WAKY is. Its almost 70 years old.”
While #MeToo supporters see the song as sending the wrong message when it comes to female consent, Fredele sees the song an entirely different way. (RELATED: Dennis Quaid: Criticism About Baby, Its Cold Outside Is Going A Little Far)
“This song is not about that,” he said. “All it is, is a dialogue between a man and a woman, and at the end of the song, you hear them harmonize together, so theyre agreeing basically.”
“Its just a fun way of saying, Hey this our vote for that song. Its a fun song. Its a romantic song, dont pick on it,'” Fredele continued.
While the song has endured criticism of late, plenty of others – including Dean Martins daughter, Deana Martin — have defended it.
“Theres nothing bad about that song,” said Martin last week in an interview with Fox News. “And it just breaks my heart and I know my dad would be going insane right now … He would say, whats the matter with you? You know, get over it. Its just a fun song.”
