    I didn't so much get the roofie vibe from the song as much of a "TOUCH MY DIIIIIIIICK" vibe from it.
    Same here. I feel like he's saying, "Carpe diem baby! let's have something to drink and get NAKED!"
    Same. I don't interpret "what's in this drink?" as "Whoa, playa. Did you just roofie me?" but instead on commentary on the fact that she is feeling tipsy... because he is coercing her with drinks.

    Isn't there a Lady Gaga version where she sings the man's part and Joseph Gordon-Levitt sings the female's part?

     

    edited: I found it on Youtube but I don't know how to post videos.

    I got you girl.

    I love Gaga's dress! And also Joseph Gordon-Levitt is wearing mis-matched socks..that is adorable!!! And I had no idea he could sing so well...damn that voice.

    I think he has a couple musical side-projects, actually, if you want to hear more. I like him a lot too.

    DID ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THIS VERSION OF THE SONG? THE LYRICS HAVE BEEN CHANGED Sorry to get big letters on y'all, but sersly.
    Yes, I did. It's cute. But the original song still skeeves me out. I don't think there is anything wrong with saying so.

    And this brings up a good point - If the song wasn't creepy in the first place, why would the lyrics need to be changed?
    Because it's not appropriate for children to be having a cigarette or drinking an adult beverage.


    *********************FUCKING BOXES GOD DAMN********************************

    Sorry, I should have clarified that I wasn't talking about this particular version. That was my fault.

    There are other, adult versions where the rapey lyrics have been changed. I can't recall which specific ones, but I will look it up.

    Yes! Love their verision!

    Any other Christmas songs we want to drag through the mud?  I am sure if we all took some time we could turn any Christmas song into something disgusting and offensive.
    No it's really just this one. 

    You guys are acting like the few of us here are the only ones in the world who interpret this song this way. It's an extemely common interpretation because the lyrics are creepy as shit. 
    Yep, because I have never ever in 33 years heard another person say that this song was rapey.  You guys are the 1st.  I'm being honest.
    I never have either. 

    There are lots of people in the world who think that vaccines cause autism, there's a penis in the castle on the Little Mermaid VHS cover, and the US government controls global warming. Prevalence of an opinion doesn't make it true. It just means you share similar interpretations, not advanced understanding of fact.
    In what universe does interpreting date rape in the lyrics of this song equate with vaccines causing autism? Are you fucking kidding me? Interpreting meaning from something is not the same thing as making up completely fucking wild "scientific facts" and purporting them to be true to the detriment of children's health. What the fuck? 
    She was using that as one part of an analogy.

    Her point is that people choose to interpret a variety things in a variety of ways.  The people who believe vaccines cause autism choose to ignore the scientific data in their interpretations, they don't believe they are making up anything.

    Sorry. I didn't listen cause my personal skezzy feelings aside, I don't like the song that much, my store used to play it year round. The last fucking song I want to hear sweating my tit's off in July is "Baby It's Cold Outside"

    I'll listen to Buble and the Lady Gaga version someone else posted when I get home.

    I didn't mean to imply that popular opinion = right. Not at all. Only that I don't appreciate being treated like I pulled this crazy ass theory out of the blue and no one sees it but me (or the few of us).

    I am under no delusion that my interpretation can't be wrong. It might be, but my opinion is that it isn't. Your opinion is that it is. And we are both allowed to have those opinions without one having to be labeled as dumb (which I realise wasn't said by you, but it is really sticking with me. I don't like being accused of belittling people with different opinions than my own).
    Sorry but I do feel like you and others with our opinion are belittling us that don't have the same opinion.  It makes it feel like those of us who do not see the rape aspect in this song are just perpetuating this rape attitude that our world has.  That is not cool.  Just because I don't agree with your (general) interpretation of a song doesn't mean that I am all "yay rape!"  I just think that this song is not about rape at all and that there are a hell of a lot worse songs out there to get so heated over.
    Well, I'm certainly not and I don't like being accused of calling someone dumb for their opinion. I absolutely did not and would not.

    "I think you are wrong" does not equal "I think you are stupid"

    In regards to the implication that you are perpetuating rape culture, I do apologize that it came off that way. Like I explained to PGL, I originally got the impression that people (I honestly don't know if it was you) were disagreeing that trying to coerce a woman who said no with a drink was rapey. Because it 100% was. But I recognize that this was not the case. What's actually happening here is that you and others are not interpreting it as him disregarding her no, but as a woman who does want to stay and he is reassuring her that it is okay. Which again, I don't think is correct. But that's MY opinion and interpretation, and it's okay that it isn't yours. I do apologize that I implied otherwise.

  • Hahah oh my god. This thread... Who knew people would be so passionate about the interpretation of a Christmas song... I can see both interpretations. But I guess we will never know since Frank Loesser died in 1969.

  • Well I don't appreciate being made to feel like because I don't share the opinion of how a character in a song may have interpreted the motivations of another character, I'm supporting rape culture. Again, might not have been you who said it (or intended it) but that was the feeling I got at the comments of taking offense that anyone would not support this interpretation of the song.

    You're free to have your opinion while I keep mine. We cool. ;)
    That I can apologize for. I see how you could get that impression from what I said. But I definitely did not mean for it to sound like I was taking offense to different interpretations. I was taking offense to a comment early on that seemed like "date rapey-type stuff is harmless" I do realize not that that was not what was intended, as I have said several times. But still, I never said anyone else was dumb for their opinion and that just pisses me right the fuck off.

    But, whatever. I'm over it and we coo', sister sister.
