The CBC has grabbed a brain and got it moving again!
https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/cbc-baby-its-cold-reinstate-1.4941087

So the loud minority is starting to be drowned out by the usually silent majority: good for all those who have brains.

Original:

So radio stations are banning "Baby, it's cold outside" because there are too many losers in the world.

My. God., People. Are. Stupid.

It's a really nice Christmas song about a girl wanting to stay with her man for....'cuddles', but she can't because society would call her a 'whore/slut' if she did.
She is wrestling with WANTING to stay but 'having' to leave because society is filled with losers.

Look:
"I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to get home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside"

Read it!
There are no rape drugs in her drink: she's making an excuse for not leaving, just like in the lines:
"But don't you see
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay"

She wants to stay, but feels she can't.

Only stupid people could object to this song.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid people.

My. God.

    and raise you a warm inside lyrics. Get to their lvl.

    Hey Maria, Papa said
    You better go to bed
    Maria, Mama said
    You better go to bed
    And little sister said
    You better go to bed
    The older brother said
    You heard what Papa said
    You better say goodnight
    You better shut the light
    And Papa told you no
    You can't go out tonight
    But Papa didn't know
    Maria had a date
    And couldn't let him wait

    So in a little while
    She waited till the lights were low
    She went out the window to her beau, and so

    There's a lot of huggin' then
    A lot of kissin' then
    A lot of huggin' him
    A lot of kissin' him
    A lot of happy talk
    A lot of moon above
    But very little time
    But very little time
    To make a lot of love
    To make a lot of love
    Which is a normal thing
    To make a lot of love
    For it was summertime
    When all the crickets sing
    And in the summertime

    When anyone's in love
    The crickets sing a happy song
    But they didn't do their repetoire for long

    Suddenly the Papa came in
    And then the Mama came in
    And then the sister came in
    And then the brother came in
    And then the uncle came in
    And then the cousin came in
    An even dozen came in
    And I can tell you this
    It was a dirty shame
    Because the Papa came in
    And then the Mama came in
    And then the sister came in
    And then the brother came in
    And then the cousin came in
    And even dozencame in
    And I can tell you this
    Do-do-do-do

    When anyone's in love
    The crickets sing a happy song
    But they didn't do their repetoire for long

    Suddenly the Papa came in
    And then the Mama came in
    And then the sister came in
    And then the brother came in
