    CLEVELAND -- An Ohio radio station has stopped playing “Baby It's Cold Outside" this holiday season after it says listeners voiced concern about the song’s predatory undertones amid the Me Too movement.

    WDOK Christmas 102.1 pulled the song from its around-the-clock rotation of Christmas music this week after receiving a call from a listener who suggested it is inappropriate in 2018.

    The call-and-response song written in the 1940s includes a woman singing that she has to leave a man’s house as he tries to lure her to stay.

    In the song, the female sings “I really can’t stay,” to which the man responds, “But baby, it’s cold outside.”

    Other lyrics include the woman singing “Say, what’s in this drink?” and “I simply must go … the answer is no.”

    “It wasn't really our decision. It's the decision of our listeners,” WDOK midday host Desiray told WJW, noting the Christmas lineup is decided by the station’s listeners.

    The station said it posted a poll about the song on its website and a clear majority of respondents supported the decision to remove the song from the station’s lineup.

    Just in the last 2 weeks they have attacked the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer too. It will never end...

    I have a theory though. These people are so :censored: miserable in their own lives that they feel the need to suck the joy out of everyone else's lives.

    Whatever happened to if you didn't like something it was your own problem to deal with (turn the channel or click it off) not tell the GD world how offended you are?

    What a Joke. This shit happens why to much. Our country has changed so much just in the past decade and in most instances not for the better. If you don’t like the song, changed the station. F’en snowflakes

    Ahhh....they are going after Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving now because the current pc idiots don't understand Schultz's deliberate symbolism of the times and why he wanted folks to understand it was wrong. Idiots. Going after Rudolph too, you know the story about inclusion...sheesh

    A couple of observations in regards to this topic:

    1) This complainer probably listens to ‘Rap’ without thinking twice about the ‘crap’ lyrics themes in the song. I have this discussion on a regular basis with 20 somethings. They complain about sexism, yet soak in the latest ‘Crap Rhymes’ with ease.

    2) I have a good feeling how they probably vote. They virtue signal about the other candidates alleged proclivities, but vote for the one who actually did the crime. I know we can’t get political here so I won’t.

    3) If you think society is getting absurd, then you are correct in your thinking. Its getting to the point where people are scared to discuss the obvious problems without fear.

    4) Its taken 50 years of commie indoctrination, infiltration, and finally we are in the midst of subversion. Watch Yuri Bresnenvov (a Russian defector) Youtube vids from the 1980’s. It will make sense.

    I hope things turn for the better.
