Without_Pause Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) There are a number of songs which you think about the lyrics come across as stalker like. I know Adel has at least one. Sting made a comment about people who get married and their wedding song is Every Breath You Take. Bah. I should have added the eternal awkward for the holiday season that is Baby It's Cold Outside. Edited November 1, 2023 by Without_Pause 1 Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5.

Here is the best article ,,,sorry it is Variety https://variety.com/2018/music/news/baby-its-cold-outside-song-war-1203080834/ Also the best section from it "Taken maybe a smidgeon more seriously than its creator intended, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is the story of a woman doing battle — not with a guy who won’t take no for an answer, but with the expectations of a society that won’t take yes for an answer. The most critical word in the whole piece is “ought,” as in, “I ought to say no, no, no sir.” She isn’t trying to fend off advances — she is mouthing excuses so she can “at least… say that I tried.” He won’t face judgment sneaking home, whereas she can tick off at least three family members who’ll notice when she sneaks in after hours. It’s not just the kinfolk but a nation of suspicious minds there at the door, waiting to sniff the cigarettes, booze and boys on her breath. At least two out of three of which she is explicitly the one asking for, by the way: “maybe just a cigarette more,” she requests, along with “maybe just half a drink more.” She is not being plied with alcohol — she is plying herself, with intoxicating stalling tactics she hopes will make the “spell” of romance and sexual chemistry finally out-loom the specter of the family scowling behind the porch light. The fellow in the song makes some pretty funny arguments, including the threat of pneumonia, a rationale maybe even the vicious aunt would find acceptable for a couch sleepover. But he’s really the secondary character in the song. It’s not about acceding to a dangerous wolf. It’s about her succumbing to her own she-wolf. Which, at the very end, she does, taking part in the closing bit of harmony and agreeing: As a matter of fact, dude, I will catch my death of cold out there." Also it was written and sung by a husband and wife at parties ... as a goof. Edited November 1, 2023 by JasperStone 4 3 /e poofgone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shred Monkey Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Falling in love and expressing how it feels is literally quite possibly the greatest thing in all of human existance. If you find yourself accidentally or intentially arguing against doing that, you should take some time and do some serious self-evaluation. 1 1 Active on Excelsior: Prismatic Monkey - Seismic / Martial Blaster, Shadow Dragon Monkey - Staff / Dark Brute, Murder Robot Monkey - Arachnos Night Widow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever wonder why the neckline on the logo spells "MOM"? 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that song so I made a stupid joke to post it. Lighten up Francis. Plus, you can't tell me the woman in the song isn't waiting to jump Santa's bones.

PeregrineFalcon Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I sincerely hope that you all are joking with the whole "Christmas songs are about stalkers" nonsense. "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire posts, the posts become warning points. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.
