"Baby It's Cold Outside" is getting a revamp for the #MeToo era.
Radio stations around the U.S. and Canada, starting with Cleveland's Star 102, have dropped the 1944 Christmas tune from their lineups over lyrics including, "I ought to say no, no, no, sir / Mind if I move in closer."
As Vox’s Emily Crockett wrote, the song strikes many as, "a little rapey."
But Penn Holderness, of the viral video Holderness Family, has put a 2018 spin on the classic song.In Holderness' version, "Baby Just GO Outside," consent is key.
Lyrics include, “I really can’t stay / OK, you’re free to go,” “I’ve got to go away / Understood — no means no.”
“Baby, Just GO Outside” was shared Monday and has already racked up nearly 18 million views on Facebook.
It's not likely destined to become a holiday classic. But "Baby Just GO Outside" is probably the first Christmas tune to mention Uber.
