This is from the USA but presumably once the super-sensitive and easily offended in these parts get going this will disappear from radio and TV in the UK and Ireland as well. Yet they will continue to play that ghastly song which starts with some tw@t shouting "It's Christmas"."The world we live in is extra sensitive now, and people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place."
Great band Slade. Holder and Lea wrote some great tunes, including that one, even if it is played to death.Shan wrote:Radio station drops Baby it's Cold Outside from Christmas playlist

Played to fecking death is correct. Then again I guess most of the Christmas "classics" are. Gives me a pain in my bag. However that is my issue and should in no way be a reason to stop the playing of it......same as the cold outside song which I did see last night on Magic. Tom Jones and the wonderful Cerys Matthews.big mervyn wrote: Great band Slade. Holder and Lea wrote some great tunes, including that one, even if it is played to death.
Delilah is another one that habitually comes up in these discussions.
