A Closer look at the Creepy Christmas Classic, 'Baby it's Cold Outside'

What IS in this drink?!

A Closer look at the Creepy Christmas Classic, 'Baby it's Cold Outside'
Funny or Die

' Baby it's Cold Outside' is a classic Christmas song that remains to be a favorite to many, despite the disturbing lyrics. Perhaps you are still stuck in the mindset that this is just a classic holiday love song but because I'm impossible I have to challenge that idea and prove just what makes this Christmas song so creepy.

First of all, let's really listen to the lyrics. With lines like, "what's in this drink?" it gives off somewhat of a date rape vibe. It's similar to the stomach-churning moment of a twisted Lifetime movie that is about to go very wrong for the poor, naive girl. You just know that this isn't going to end well and the guy is a total creep. And despite the female singer's constant plea to leave, she is only to be shut down by the ever so persistent man that insists it is 'too cold outside'. Typical guy, thinking we are too weak to bare the cold weather.

And just think about how he disregards everything she says. Even when she warns him with, "My father will be pacing the floor." he simply says,"Listen to that fireplace roar." Basically saying, your father doesn't intimidate me and I barely even heard what you were saying. If she isn't seeing red flags all over the room, then he must really have put something in her drink.

And for the record ladies, any guy that says "what's the sense in hurting my pride" is never worth your time. Be sure to run out of there before he tries to convince you to stay, because trust me, he will and like this guy, he will be a little too persistent.

This holiday song can remain a classic that will always have a touch of humor in the words that were probably completely unintentionally sinister. The writer of this song probably didn't foresee people like me over analyzing the lyrics that were too easy to not joke about.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
