    Well I have been humming it on and off today because it's a bit of an earworm and I hope that makes up for its lack of playtime on various radio stations

    Back in 1944 its well possible they would have just kissed and cuddled in front of the fire - in fact that's all I ever read into it. Now everyone assumes that every interaction with the opposite sex is always about sex, and always initiated by the man. This wasn't the case even back in the "misogynist" 80s.

    I’ve always seen this song in that light. He’s trying to get her to stay a little while longer. She’s not sure. They’ve probably bern kissing but sex wasn’t on the cards.

    (Of course the parts aren’t male female anyway. Can be reversed).

    It did happen thousands of miles away, but Christmas FM co-founder Garvan Rigby probably used it to get a bit of publicity for his kippy little station.

    Nobody complained.

    Delighted it's gone. Hateful song that should be prosecuted for crimes against taste. Hated the Cerys Matthews/Tom Jones one.

    Santa Baby (especially Kylie Minogue) needs to go as well

    Banning this harmless song is totally ridiculous the more I think about it. With the way things are going, America is becoming like something out of Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale or like Saudi Arabia. The whole attitude of 'freedom from' rather than 'freedom to' seems to be alive and well. Censoring and controlling what we are to listen to and changing our attitude to songs? This clearly is the Christian fascist deep state talking here: misogynists pretending to be on the side of #Me Too.

    Where will it end? What about the likes of AcDc’s Christmas ditty - Mistress for Christmas?

    Jingle bells, jingle bells
    Jingle all the day
    I just can't wait till Christmas time
    When I can grope you in the hay

    Easy come, easy go
    Have a good time with lots of dough
    Slippin' up high, slippin' down low
    Love'm and leave'm on with the show

    Listen, I like female form in minimum dress
    Money to spend with a capital S
    Get a date with the woman in red
    Want to be in heaven with three in a bed (One of me in heaven)

    He got it, I want it
    They got it, I can't have it
    But I want it, but it don't matter
    She got it, and I can't get it

    I want a mistress for Christmas
    I want a mistress for Christmas
    Ooh yeah, haha yeah
    I want a mistress for Christmas
    Come on
    Easy come, easy go

    Slippin' high, slippin' low (yeah, aw right)
    He got it, I want it
    They got it, I can't have it
    I want it, don't matter
    She got it, and I can't get it
    He got it, I want it
    (For Christmas)
    They got it, and I can't have it
    (Mistress)
    But I want it, it don't matter
    (For Christmas)
    She got it, and I can't get a
    Mistress for Christmas
    You know what I'm talkin' about
    Mistress for Christmas
    You gotta send me down
    You gotta send me down

    Mistress for Christmas
    I want the woman in red with bow in my bed
    (Mistress for Christmas)
    I can hear you coming down my smoke stack
    I want to ride on your reindeer honey and ring the bells

    It is crazy and this is actually misogyny being passed off as feminism. The same type of misogyny passed off as feminism that justifies the veil and the burkha as something that protects women. People who understand #Me Too properly will know the difference between 'freedom to' and 'freedom from'.
