They did slip people a “Mickey Finn” back in those years. Chlorol Hydrate. My mother told me about it. So maybe?

The obvious meaning is there’s booze in the drink, and most everyone thinks she’s saying I do kind of want to stay, but surely that’s the alcohol talking. I don’t think a 1949 song is about putting drugs in your date’s drink.

I'm in New York. I know a lot of crunchy-granola woke mofo's and none of them give a crap about this song. I think a handful of radio stations decided to stop playing it in 2018 and then headlines came out like "a growing number of stations have BANNED this song". And that was technically true when the number grew from 3 to 4. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> on behalf of ch...@go-mtc.com <ch...@go-mtc.com> Sent: Friday, December 13, 2024 4:05 PM To: af@af.afmug.com <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Christmas songs I never thought of it a anything but cute until some Pruient - PC - dirty minded - me too - woke folks - started pointing out things that could be construed in a bad light.

It was supposed to be creepy and cringey.

Yes, the characters were guileless, but they could have chosen a different song for Jovie to sing in the shower. I suppose this is the movie where Will Ferrell calls Peter Dinklage an Elf.
