Needles & Grooves

I didn't realize how intense "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" was until my kindergartner really got into it this year. Shit is harsh.

Feels like kids have to be deathly silent when Santa comes to town or he's going to take them out. Hang your stockings and pray he doesn't pick your family to destroy.

I've had more than a few conversations on how "Baby It's Cold Outside" is pretty creepy when you actually listen to the lyrics.

I don't agree with the "Baby It's Cold Outside" hate that's bubbled up in recent years. Sure it's a little dated, it was written in 1944, but there's nothing nefarious going on in the lyrics.

I suppose in modern context it can be heard otherwise. But I'd agree for the time written.

I think people hear "hey, what's in this drink" and think he's giving her a roofie and not just that it's alcohol. He's obviously trying to get lucky but I never felt he was a date rapist. I think it's a woman "protesting" because she is supposed to be "a lady" back in those times. "I oughta say no, no, no sir", "at least, I'm going to say that I tried".

It's pretty clear that she digs him too but she's not supposed to stay over because of what everyone will think. I think this version makes things seem less icky. I also love how pathetic he sounds towards the end.

THE MOON IS RIGHT

The word is out
About the town
To lift a glass
Oh, and don't look down

The floor is lava?
