When my alarm went off this morning, the radio station was playing that great Christmas classic "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer." :laugh:

Thanks for bumping this thread, Jeff! It only took me 8 years but I just listened to Leontyne Price singing "O Holy Night." Mesmerizing!
I heard Pavarotti singing it yesterday, when the carol won the Christmas Countdown on our classical music station for the third year in a row. I think I prefer the Price version.
serious crayons:
There's controversy brewing around "Baby, It's Cold Outside." At least one radio station has banned it because it can be interpreted as a date-rape scenario. I've thought that for a couple of years, and at one point commented on FB that the woman in the song probably wound up with a #metoo story.
So now Dean Martin's daughter has been defending it, saying her father would never think that way. Which may be true, although if Dean ever did think that way I doubt he'd tell his daughter about it. (Bill Cosby's wife defended him, too.)
But here's my take on it. It's possible that Dean Martin and whoever else has sung it may not have meant it that way. And maybe it didn't even occur to some that it could be interpreted that way. But it's part of a culture that encourages men to think it's OK to act that way and then keep going, despite the woman's protests.
