What's in this drink?
It has been pointed out on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
customers_suck that the wintertime classic Baby, It's Cold Outside is almost a script for date rape. The female (in most versions, evidently there are recordings that reverse the roles) is trying to leave, and the male vocalist won't let her. Indeed, he keeps pushing drinks on her!
Judge for yourself

Nice upbeat bouncy, with the really nasty line
"If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal//if her daddy's poor, you can do what you feel".
(So either the girl is assumed always willing, or she doesn't matter at all. What's important is how much power her daddy has.)
