By Mr Magic At 14:42 On 11 December 2018 13547 Posts	Some of you know that the popular Christmas song has been pulled from radio stations. Dean Martin's daughter, who's father recorded the song, speaks out. https://people.com/music/dean-martin-daughter-baby-its-cold-outside/ Quote Disable Sigs "Magic can happen to you."

So that song is okay, but "Baby, It's Cold Outside" isn't. Quote Disable Sigs Insert funny signature here

I read this in the paper today. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/baby-its-cold-outside-draws-jeers-while-step-name-love-spins-on-r-kelly/ Sun Times wrote : When "Step in the Name of Love" comes on, otherwise woke people will hit the dance floor like R. Kelly really is the Pied Piper. The popular R&B singer was acquitted on 14 counts of child-pornography charges a decade ago, but new allegations by parents who claim Kelly is operating a sex cult and holding their daughters against their will, reopened the singer’s unsavory past. Additionally, Kelly’s ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, finally broke her silence about the alleged abuse and controlling behavior she endured during her 13-year marriage to the R&B singer. Still, Kelly’s "Step" song will be in rotation this holiday. -end quote It's funny where Baby It's Cold Outside came from. (see Wikipedia) Personally I don't care for this song or holiday music in general. Most of it is overplayed and aggravating. Christmas is a happy and nostalgic time for me but the music can go hang.
