Contemporary Vs. Classic Lyrical Analysis With Beej - Blog Posts

13 years ago

:T My Man is pretty appalling lyrically, but seriously, as much as people joke(?) about it, Baby it's Cold Outside isn't actually about date-rape. I mean, there is one line that is suspect in a modern context, but 'say, what's in this drink' was a far more innocuous phrase before roofies were invented and became an actual thing to be concerned about. Like, the song is basically "boy I sure would love to stay and snuggle, but it would be pretty scandalous if I didn't get going, now. Talk me out of leaving? :D" "Okay! :D"

That awkward moment when you love a song but the lyrics are painful so you can't sing along without cringing

Baby it’s Cold outside, which is basically about a lead up to date rape. Fail.

My Man which is basically about dropping everything and dignity for a man. Feminism fail.

But the songs are so good, dammit!
