We all know this is the Celeste you're really talking about, chubby.

Pounds zeni, not grams.

And just because the outcome was the way you wanted it doesn't mean it worked.

Too bad it didn't in this case.

I think you're reading me wrong. I'm still not advocating pulling the song. You don't like what someone plays, don't listen to that station.

You mean your cranium, right?

Seeing something that isn't necessarily there. Maybe he just likes spending time with this particular woman and has no malicious intent. Maybe he has that intent. I guess I'm just an optimist that wants to believe in the best in people, despite my own personal experience.

Coming up next on PBS, "Why can't zeni read?"

For me, the argument that this is "rapey" reminds me of the joke about the woman that, on a camping trip with her family, decides to take a break and with a book in hand takes the boat out on the lake. While she is on the lake, she looks up from her reading and sees a park ranger waving her to shore. She paddles in and the ranger, seeing fishing equipment in the boat asks to see her fishing license. She explains that she has no license, and was not fishing anyway, but reading. He counters, "You have all the equipment" and starts writing up the citation. She says, "Well, then I'm going to the cops to charge you with rape". He stammers, "I never touched you!", to which she replies, "You have all the equipment!".

You get it wrong, I'm not a fan of the song. But this is not The Beatles "Run For Your Life" or Little Walter's "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" either. Is she saying, "Take me home right now!" or is she saying, "Convince me!". I get the "No means No", and maybe that's the problem - she isn't saying "No!", she's saying "Well, this" or "Well, that". Is there something wrong with just saying "No"? Is it really "progress" to jump to the worst possible conclusion about what is being expressed? Is the problem the attitudes then, or our attitudes now? In a way, your argument that a song might affect the decisions of "impressionable young men" reeks of PMRC.

Subject reads like the male teacher was being molested.

Counter-argument for the song - everyone is assuming the guy just wants to get her into bed. Sad that everybody's first thought leaps that way, it says more about them than the song. All he ever says is her lips look...and are delicious. Obviously, she is interested in the guy as well, or the lyrics would have said something about a knee to the groin.

I find the argument that this is "rapey" would depend upon how the woman really feels about the guy, just like the argument that "50 Shades..." would have been rapey if the guy wasn't a good-looking millionaire.

I see a red door and I want it vantablack No colors anymore I want them vantablack...

Tell them you'd pay it, but your computer has no power.

More like a Bostonian saying "ahhfff".

1940s is quite a bit less than 100 years ago. There are plenty of more recent Christmas songs, a few are even listenable.

Ella & Satchmo do a version.
