When she says 'whats in this drink?' she means 'what is it i cant tell just looking at it' coz it could be that it looks like wine but its just blackcurrant or grape juice. She doesn't mean 'is this spiked or what' ok? Get over it. NOW.
Hum. You must admit, the lyrics *are* pretty darn creepy if you look at them. Yes, the music is good, I enjoyed it, and the way the characters say the lines makes it clear that the drink is just alcohol, but they're still rather creepy.
It's about the inner struggle; she's alluding to all these external reasons why she should go, her sister, her father the neighbors, and he's countering with the terrible weather. When really, what they're avoiding talking about is what's going on inside them. Compare to the telephone scene in It's a Wonderful Life, which speaks of an era where young lovers were unprepared in a society that didn't speak openly about matters of the heart. Songs like this got the dialog going.
I could make a sly remark about date rape but seeing as it wouldn't be original I'll just go ahead and say this song is a classic and admit that its fun to sing a long too .
GalenBanan isn't digging into it at all, they are simply reading the lyrics. The people who actually know what the song is about have dug much farther than those who don't.
@BleedingHeartLove219 You are right, but then again you are a tid bit wrong. He/ she could have began with thought: this is a classic. not many thought that way at the time.
If most USED THEIR HEADS BEFORE TALKING, we souldnt have such stupid people in the world today. With everything Im writing, I like thinking of myself as like, YouTube's Answer guy. Seriously! anyone with a problem just comment on this vid! ;)
y'all are all crazyy HAHA date rape?? lmfaoo (funnyy) btw there joking and all you other dumb ass people chill the fuck out jeeeez you guys are having a fucking spaz about this shit?? LOL just shut the fuck up and enjoyy the song! :)
I think this song is pretty creepy. I mean, she says "the answer is no" and he's stops her to go even if she don't want to stay any longer with him. No means no, why can't people just understand and respect that. This song is like a rape to me.
You sick people (not all)!! You know, thats why I hate most of this generation's population! "lol date rape" "this song is disturbing". Its a freaking song about people who love for a GOOD REASON!! People these days have the same horny reasons for love: "big tits" or "huge dick". I miss the last few centuries! When true love is presented, its made on movie for more money!! I HATE THE 2000s!! And the weirdest part, I understand all this at the age of 12!! How? My very stupid, horny classmates!!

it's obviously not about date rape! a girl is at a guys house, she went there and stayed for a while WILLINGLY but her family will be worried if she doesn't come home! stop ruining a nice christmas song! :P
Even if this song is about daterape, it's still an amazing song. I was brought here when my English teacher told us about this song saying is was about daterape. I don't give a crap if this song is about date rape or not, I have listened to this song about 7 times straight.
So please, lets all just enjoy the music no matter what it means!
Some people are sooooooooo, like, stupid! Stop THINKING about things and just mindlessly listen, mmmkay? Jeeeeeeze, you're ruining it for everyone by doin' that critical thinkin'! Waaaaaaah, lemmme enjoy tha soooooooong. Wah.
Well guys, you can't deny there may be a little sexuality in this, but in the same, there's so much more to it. This song is about love, and wanting to be with you're loved one, and I really think that's what this generation is missing. Each time most of my freinds hear a joke or a song, they immediately turn to look at the shallowest meaning of it, instead ofseeing the real meaning, and the love in it. This generation needs a little love, so who's going to be the first to outstretch their hand?
It is amusing, though, that people get miffed and riled up about other people's varying perceptions of something, despite it being in no way a serious topic or anything but an opinion.
for god sake of course its not about roofies/rape/spiked drinks jesus not everything is a big conspiracy theory. She's just stalling by asking what's in the drink, and this song isn't about rape or harassment its just about temptation and love, ya'll are so immature.
When she says what's in this drink, it could be like rum and eggnog, but she thought that it was just eggnog, or at least something along those lines. Not that her drink was roofied. That's what I always thought.
I really REALLY love this song (it's one of my favorite Christmas songs), but there IS a very slight underlying tone that makes it uncomfortable (The "what's in this drink" line really tips it off).
I'm not saying it's dirty or terrible. I'm just saying that it's there.
@LadyAlmandine That line refers to her wondering whats in the drink as a way of stalling. There's no underlying anything that makes anything in this song uncomfortable unless referring to the fact that this sounds like a private conversation.
@CandieBarr6669 Or maybe you're the moron who can't look at it from a different point of view. This is not a modern song, but the meaning can be interpreted in a different way if you put the song in another context. People do it for the hell of it.
@LadyAlmandine Okay. If you ignore the time it was written, the time about 1/2 the versions, if not more, were recorder, and if you ignore her tone of voice when she asks, then sure. But with the way the woman (or man depending on the version) asks, it's out of curiosity, not suspicion. all that ignoring would make you a moron.
(in the mood for some christmas songs) translation for song: (guy) Its cold, please stay O~O...(girl) but i have to g- (guy) YOU'LL DIE OF PNEUMONIA IF YOU LEAVE ME D:<
@lostpages23 And did I say that everyone under 20 thought this song was about rape? no I do believe i said anyone saying that was under 20. now get off the internets and go play with your barbies little girl. you should think about what you say before you say it because you just made yourself seem really stupid.
Sigh. Really guys? This is a classic love song. Why taint an old love song with our modern day nonsense. First of all, just because she says "Say, what's in this drink?" doesn't mean she's gotten roofied. Think about it. What kind of idiot would still sit there, suspecting she's been drugged? It's sad that we can't take the initiative to think about things in the time that they were made. It's sad that we hear a voice like Johnny Mercer's and we hear a pedophile. Our generation is just so sad.
it's not really rapey, although it does sound a bit odd at the whole "what's it this drink?" part. Not implying anything, I don't think this would be a common christmas song if it was about rape.
Obviously the way she said, "Say, what's in this drink", is from curiosity and not from suspicion. She is subtly stalling leaving and trying to stall further by asking him what type of drink it is because it tastes good. This is NOT a song about rape.
*****Check out our Version of Baby Its Cold Outside on our channel. I think you will really enjoy it. Its the first video that comes on :) Merry Christmas!!!***** comment on and like our video if you enjoy :)*****
In our time, yeah it sounds suspiciously like what some are suggesting. But you must know it's about love, suspicions, and excuses. Think of the time period it was made in. I personally love this song.
-sigh- I was looking forward to listening to this song after a year, and now I read the comments and can't stop picturing this as some stupid rape scenario.
Way to ruin my favorite song, I'm going to try my best not to picture it this way...
Obviously it's not about rape. But still, an older gentleman with his own house? A young girl who must scurry back home to her parents? Pressuring her into staying? Giving her drinks? The paedophilic connotations just jump out at you.
Great song, but to me, his part will always be the role of the dirty older man.
@o0SayNoToEmo0o This was written in 1944. During that time, women would normally stay living with their parents until they got married which although girls were normally married by about 20, that wasn't always the case. The men many times would move out when they were done school. And this song is normally performed by couples fairly close to the same age. Although Mercer is about 15 years older than Whiting. But the couples are normally closer in age than that.
@shotchipmunk77 This was written in 1944, not 2000. I'm pretty sure that the song is about lovers. Do your research. It's not for rape, nor was it intended to be.
@mrsleopardprint I understand that. He does have a valid point. In this generation, we have become somewhat desensitized to rape/sex. But its not everyone. I have friends who don't think that songs like this are about rape. I am trying to point out that everyone has a different opinion of everything.
who cares what people say, just ignore them people...its annoying when i see people saying stuff like how its not nice to say this this and this...shut up..nobody likes hearing people complain either, but its also annoying how you guys say how its not nice to say mean things..-_- so dumb.
@nalaahmed I'm pretty sure the first recording of this was with Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark. But I'm not 100%. It may have been the one with Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams or Red Skelton and Betty Garrett which were recorded for the same film. They were all recorded the same year if I remember correctly.
This song is very sultry. It's not at all about rape. He's convincing her to stay longer because they love one another, but at the time men and women would be seen as terrible if they spent a night together not married. How I interpret it, is that she is also stalling to leave. She's making excuses to leave, but never leaves because she's still saying, "yeah it's cold outside...i'll stay...oh wait my sister will be suspicious!"
@litteldipper Actually did you know this song before it came out all huge was sung by the song writer and his wife. They deemed it as "their love song" so no it's not a rape song, it's a romance song. If someone says, "What's in this drink?" it just doesn't mean, "THEY DRUGGED ME!" It can mean, "What grapes were used in this wine?" "Did you put cream in my coffee?" "What juice is this?" there are many connotations not just...rape.
I've been reading these comments and everybody's like "OH EM GEE! HE'S GONNA RAPE HERRRRR!!!"
Um... No. He's not. He's convincing her to stay inside and enjoy each others company, and enjoy the romantic evening.
These comments reminded me of one time when a girl told me the song "Lips of an Angel" was such a romantic song.
I just think... "Really? A song about a guy cheating on his girlfriend is more romantic than songs like this?" Seriously what has happened to people's taste in music???
It's a perfectly innocent song, and I Freaking love it. to me it's one of those songs that you hear every Christmas, and just puts you in the holiday spirit.
however, like most things nostalgic, it's sometimes fun to look at it from a more Modern and frankly more sarcastic standpoint, and to laugh at how, when you think about it, it does sound a little date-rapey.
he doesnt sound like a pedophile........ people nowadays sound like pedophiles with ther "hey lets smash" "want an STD??? i got plenty!" "lets get in the back of my truck hoesss" i mean honestly people? is Dean martin the pedophile here? i dont think so... I thinkk its YOU! lol
@MISSshutyourface how does he sound like a pedophile? Or are you one of those people that don't know the meaning of pedophile and call everyone a pedophile?
Obviously, only people with have a brain would think this song is about rape.. it's obvious that back when this song was made, men and women did not sleepover at eachothers houses, and left before it got too late. Its about a young couple in love that do not want to have to say goodbye... therefore the Guy is trying to convince her to stay a little bit but she knows it would look bad if she did, despite the fact she does not want to leave..
@willku9000 you can't ask what's in a drink you like or as an excuse to stay longer? Remind me not to ask next time I get a drink if I don't know what it is then or if I want an excuse to stall....
don't be so nieve little diamond. And this guy in this song is very creepy

In our time, yeah it sounds suspiciously like what some are suggesting. But you must know it's about love, suspicions, and excuses. Think of the time period it was made in. I personally love this song.

-sigh- I was looking forward to listening to this song after a year, and now I read the comments and can't stop picturing this as some stupid rape scenario.
Way to ruin my favorite song, I'm going to try my best not to picture it this way...

Obviously it's not about rape. But still, an older gentleman with his own house? A young girl who must scurry back home to her parents? Pressuring her into staying? Giving her drinks? The paedophilic connotations just jump out at you.
Great song, but to me, his part will always be the role of the dirty older man.

@o0SayNoToEmo0o When did it say anything about him being older? I always imagined this scene to be with two adults around the same age.
Charamer31 2 months ago
@o0SayNoToEmo0o This was written in 1944. During that time, women would normally stay living with their parents until they got married which although girls were normally married by about 20, that wasn't always the case. The men many times would move out when they were done school. And this song is normally performed by couples fairly close to the same age. Although Mercer is about 15 years older than Whiting. But the couples are normally closer in age than that.

Im 16 and i think its a bit depressing that MOST of my generation has deteriorated into thinking songs like this involve sex or rape.

@shotchipmunk77 and dont forget the part where people of our generation think songs about sex and/or rape or cheating etc are romantic.
phantomliger2012 2 months ago
@shotchipmunk77 This was written in 1944, not 2000. I'm pretty sure that the song is about lovers. Do your research. It's not for rape, nor was it intended to be.

mrsleopardprint 2 months ago
@mrsleopardprint I understand that. He does have a valid point. In this generation, we have become somewhat desensitized to rape/sex. But its not everyone. I have friends who don't think that songs like this are about rape. I am trying to point out that everyone has a different opinion of everything.

who cares what people say, just ignore them people...its annoying when i see people saying stuff like how its not nice to say this this and this...shut up..nobody likes hearing people complain either, but its also annoying how you guys say how its not nice to say mean things..-_- so dumb.

@nalaahmed I'm pretty sure the first recording of this was with Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark. But I'm not 100%. It may have been the one with Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams or Red Skelton and Betty Garrett which were recorded for the same film. They were all recorded the same year if I remember correctly.
CandieBarr6669 2 months ago
This song is very sultry. It's not at all about rape. He's convincing her to stay longer because they love one another, but at the time men and women would be seen as terrible if they spent a night together not married. How I interpret it, is that she is also stalling to leave. She's making excuses to leave, but never leaves because she's still saying, "yeah it's cold outside...i'll stay...oh wait my sister will be suspicious!"

litteldipper 2 months ago
@litteldipper Actually did you know this song before it came out all huge was sung by the song writer and his wife. They deemed it as "their love song" so no it's not a rape song, it's a romance song. If someone says, "What's in this drink?" it just doesn't mean, "THEY DRUGGED ME!" It can mean, "What grapes were used in this wine?" "Did you put cream in my coffee?" "What juice is this?" there are many connotations not just...rape.

CandieBarr6669 2 months ago
I've been reading these comments and everybody's like "OH EM GEE! HE'S GONNA RAPE HERRRRR!!!"
Um... No. He's not. He's convincing her to stay inside and enjoy each others company, and enjoy the romantic evening.
These comments reminded me of one time when a girl told me the song "Lips of an Angel" was such a romantic song.
I just think... "Really? A song about a guy cheating on his girlfriend is more romantic than songs like this?" Seriously what has happened to people's taste in music???

@jreed3842 I agree with you. :3
It's a perfectly innocent song, and I Freaking love it. to me it's one of those songs that you hear every Christmas, and just puts you in the holiday spirit.
however, like most things nostalgic, it's sometimes fun to look at it from a more Modern and frankly more sarcastic standpoint, and to laugh at how, when you think about it, it does sound a little date-rapey.
not that rape is funny.... it's not.....LOL XD

Obviously, only people with have a brain would think this song is about rape.. it's obvious that back when this song was made, men and women did not sleepover at eachothers houses, and left before it got too late. Its about a young couple in love that do not want to have to say goodbye... therefore the Guy is trying to convince her to stay a little bit but she knows it would look bad if she did, despite the fact she does not want to leave..
sammieliz12 3 months ago 4
@sammieliz12 1. well yeah, when you think about the time when it was written it's perfectly innocent. but nowadays.... it sounds kinda rapey.
2. then explain the line "say, what's in this drink?".
and 3. I think you meant HALF a brain. :3
willku9000 3 months ago
@willku9000 you can't ask what's in a drink you like or as an excuse to stay longer? Remind me not to ask next time I get a drink if I don't know what it is then or if I want an excuse to stall....
