or should the female in "Baby it's Cold Outside" actually run a mile at all the red flags?

[JustAWaterForMePlease]

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hair
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

Young Girl is all right until the last bit: "Get out of here before I have the time to change my mind, cos I'm afraid we'll go too far". Predatory 13-year-olds anyone? I prefer Abba's Does Your Mother Know, where it's quite clear he is not going to succumb. Well, I prefer the sentiment - the song is a bit naff.

What about

when your body's had enought of meeeee
and you're laying flat out on the floor,
When you think I've loved you all I can
I'm gonna love you a little bit mooooore

I don't know who sings it, or if the lyrics are quite right, but god I hate that song

It's the BeeGees IlovePonyo I was just about to post the same! Doesn't sound consensual to me

It's the beegees? Well I didn't know that. Stupid sex pest song.

It's Dr.Hook,not the BeeGees. Yes,I hate it too.

Nope, that has always been my reaction to it, but nice to now I am not alone in my thoughts!

In which case Bogeyface I eat my earlier words and offer you these instead: you are wasted here!

Jimmy Soul-If you Wanna be Happy anyone? I used to sing along with this watching Mermaids.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart.
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You'll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She'll always give you peace of mind.

Don't let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don't match,
Take it from me she's a better catch.

Say man.
Hey baby.
Saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's ugly.
Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook.
Yeah?. Okay.

""Young Girl" was released on 10/5/2008. It was written by FULLER, JERRY."

Young Girl was originally released in the 60's by Gary Pucket and the Union Gap. The song was, allegedly written by their manager, who also wrote "Will Power". I'm sure that the lead singer became more and more unwilling to sing anything written by the manager because he was starting to get creeped out....

Thanks, Clawdy, I stand corrected (and relieved that the song's only half as bad as I thought!)

You bunch of bastards. I love that song especially because of Elf but since joining MN, all I hear is "red flag! run away! LTB!!!". Arseholes, the lot of you.

What I've always wondered, Alanis, is how you go down on someone in a theater.

Don't you get an awful crick in your neck?

RIP by Rita Ora 'I'll let you call me daddy even though you're not my daughter' mmm nice

Was going to post 'He Hit me...' but someone beat me to it (pun not intended), so have some dancing lollypops:

Just in case you don't get the jist from the video, here are the lyrics:

At least she seems happy! Some of the lollies look a bit confused at times.

I have always thought this.

Plus The Police's "Every Breath You Take"

What about Stooshe - Black Heart? Great song musically, but it sends such a bad message.

Daddy, he beats me he hurts me

Mummy, I love him, he's the best I ever had

Hate that song, really hate it.

Delurked Thank you! Isnt it a shame I cant see the difference between know and now?!

Another take on Baby it's cold outside

All kinds of wrong and also pisses me off that it's set to a pretty melody by Chopin.

Jack that is brilliant, it really kicks back against the sexism of the original. I love it :)

It has probably been linked already (and I can't on my phone), but Frisky and Mannish do a brilliant version of Baby it's cold outside that really gets across the stalkerish nature. They are really worth you tubing as all their songs are hilarious.

For Flying

It is very funny!

There's an Usher song, love in the club, which says something like.
"You say you're searching for somebody that'll take you out and do you right. Well come here baby, let daddy show you what it feels like "
I only know this when I girl at work told me a gentleman suitor sang it at her in a nightclub. (They don't play such filth on radio 2!)

"There 's hundreds ofvred flags and I'm going to run a mile"
