I would not have even known this minority existed if it weren't for those who oppose them giving them publicity.
On the other hand, I must not be in the majority either, because I would never say that "Baby It's Cold Outside" was a valuable part of my Christmas traditions like the alleged respondents in that poll. That seems kind of weird to me.

But in this case, it honestly doesn't matter, and they're not setting policy.
I'm not sure they even really exist.

Dean Martin’s ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ Hits Top 10 on Digital Sales Chart for First Time
https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...tins-baby-its-cold-outside-hits-top-10-chart/
19 Dec 2018
Dean Martin’s classic Christmas song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” has reached the top 10 digital sales chart for the first time ever, despite recent controversy over whether the lyrics promote sexual harassment.
According to Billboard, sales of Martin’s versions of song were up 70 percent to 11,000 downloads in the week ending December 13th, while versions by Michael Bublé and Idina Menzel, as well as Brett Eldredge and Meghan Trainor, have both reached the holiday 100 with a sharp increase in sales.
As well as the rise in downloads, online streams of Martin’s version have also surged by 35 percent to 11.1 million in the past week.
The song’s newfound success comes after the widely reported controversy where various local radio stations denounced and attempted to censor the song, citing claims it promotes forms of data rape and sexual harassment.
First written in 1944 for the romantic comedy film Neptune’s Daughter, Martin’s lyrics and the video involves a man asking a woman to spend the night with him by arguing that it is too cold for her to go outside and walk home.
However, attempts to banish the song appear to have spectacularly backfired, with many people pledging to play the song in protest of the excesses of political correctness, a reality now borne out by statistics.
Several celebrities — including William Shatner, Dennis Quaid, and Martin’s daughter Deana have all come out in defense of the song, with the latter pledging to continue performing it every Christmas season.
On Sunday, a Kentucky radio station even trolled critics by playing the song on repeat for two hours.
“I’m not sure why it’s controversial,” said Joe Fredele, director of programming for the WLKY station. “We’ve played this song for years, you know, this song is older than WAKY is. It’s almost 70 years old.”

Nah. Demurring from making light of sexual immorality is not a very big part of their repertoire. AOC jokes about gang raping her political opponents, for example.
There might be a few religious-right Republicans remaining on the scene who prefer not to listen to songs like that. But it's not something they'd make a scene about, given who the President is.

Still funny that people can get triggered over a song.

John Legend Records Pro-Abortion Version of ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’
https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...ro-abortion-version-of-baby-its-cold-outside/
JOHN NOLTE 30 Oct 2019
John Legend rewrote Frank Loesser’s Oscar-winning song “Baby It’s Cold Outside” so it is now woke and pro-abortion.
In a Vanity Fair profile, Legend says he rewrote the problematic song for his new Christmas album. He and Kelly Clarkson will sing a new and purified duet, and it goes like this:
Clarkson: What will my friends think…?
Legend: I think they should rejoice…
Clarkson: If I have one more drink…?
Legend: It’s your body, and your choice.
Yes, it’s finally happened, y’all… The left’s woke jihad has finally cast aside all artistry, subtlety, and poetry in favor of a ball peen hammer to drive a railroad spike into your forehead.
What had once been a lovely, lyrical, playful, and yes — even insightful song about the beautiful dance of human seduction, and how it is so gloriously teased out by both the man and the woman (who is in total control, by the way), is now a goddamned NARAL bumper sticker.
We don’t know about the rest of the song yet, but it probably goes like this…
Clarkson: I really can’t stay…
Legend: It used to be cold outside…
Clarkson: I think I wanna be gay…
Legend: Climate Change makes me cry…
Clarkson: You’re much too cisgen…
Legend: Oh, how I love CNN…
Clarkson: I might marry an appliance…
Legend: Trump is racist and anti-science…
Clarkson: That appliance vibrates real nice…
Legend: You know, I’ve learned to menstruate…
Clarkson: After the wedding we’ll throw rice…
Legend: How dare you culturally appropriate…
Have you noticed, though, how these Year Zero Puritans always attack the classics?
What I mean is, if John Legend and the rest of the fascist left want to purify art, why Baby It’s Cold Outside and Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird?
Now, before I go any further… Don’t misunderstand. As a free speech extremist I oppose any and all efforts to “correct” art, even art I personally do not find all that artistic, but why don’t John Legend and his fellow left-wing vandals rewrite 2 Live Crew’s As Nasty as They Wanna Be into As Distasteful as the Consent Form Allows? ? Or N.W.A.’s Niggaz4Life into Afro-Americans for Choice?
They don’t because their crusade is not about decency or purity or sensitivity or inclusion… It is only about tearing down and destroying America’s shared culture, our classics, the art and artistry that unifies us, that brings us joy, that allows us some escape.
FACT: While John Legend was defacing Baby Its Cold Outside, dozens of porn shorts were filmed featuring young women agreeing to be abused and demeaned for $500, and those shorts will be seen by millions and millions of young men. But Legend would never do anything about that, because this is not about respecting or saving women, it’s about ravaging what’s beautiful, unifying, timeless, and perfect.
John Legend is little different from the Taliban blowing up statues in the name of virtue.

If I've said it once--I've said it a million times. None of this stuff has any teeth. Most don't have guts to call their bluff.

Read the full lyrics below:
I really can’t stay — Baby it’s cold outside
I’ve gotta go away — I can call you a ride
This evening has been — I’m so glad that you dropped in
So very nice — Time spent with you is paradise
My mama will start to worry — I’ll call a car and tell them to hurry
My daddy will be pacing the floor — Wait, what do you still live at home for?
So really I’d better scurry — Your driver, his name is Murray
Well, maybe just a half a drink more — We’re both adults, so who’s keeping score?
What will my friends think? — I think they should rejoice
If I have one more drink? — It’s your body and your choice
Oh, you really know how — Your eyes are like starlight now
To cast a spell — One look at you and then I fell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir — Then you really ought to go, go, go
At least I’m gonna say that I tried — Well, Murray, he just pulled up outside
I really can’t stay — I understand, baby
Baby, it’s cold outside
I simply should go — Text me when you get home
Oh, I’m s’posed to say no — I guess that’s respectable
This welcome has been — I feel lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm — But you better go before it storms
My sister will be suspicious — Well, gosh your lips look delicious
my brother will be there at the door — Aw, he loves my music, baby, I’m sure
My gossipy neighbor is vicious — I’m a genie, tell me what your wish is
Well maybe just a cigarette more — Aw, that’s something we should probably explore
I’ve got to get home — Oh, baby, I’m well aware
Say lend me a coat? — Keep it, girl, I don’t care
You’ve really been grand — I feel when you touch my hand
But don’t you see? — I want you to stay, it’s not up to me
There’s bound to be talk tomorrow — Well, they can talk but what do they know
At least there’ll be plenty implied — Aw, let them mind their business and go
I really can’t stay — Baby it’s cold outside
I’ve gotta go away — I can call you a ride
This evening has been — I’m so glad that you dropped in
So very nice — Time spent with you is paradise
My mama will start to worry — I’ll call a car and tell them to hurry
My daddy will be pacing the floor — Wait, what do you still live at home for?
So really I’d better scurry — Your driver, his name is Murray
Well, maybe just a half a drink more — We’re both adults, so who’s keeping score?
What will my friends think? — I think they should rejoice
If I have one more drink? — It’s your body and your choice
Oh, you really know how — Your eyes are like starlight now
To cast a spell — One look at you and then I fell
