“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is the most squirmy of Christmas songs. It’s supposed to be a cute duet between a woman and a man who wants her to stay longer, clearly written during a time period when a woman’s “reputation” for not having casual sex truly mattered. As such, the lyrics are pretty date rapey, with the woman constantly protesting that she wants to leave (“Say, what’s in this drink?”, “I ought to say no, no, no, sir, At least I’m gonna say that I tried”) and the man trying to wheedled and guilt trip her into staying (“Mind if I move in closer? What’s the sense in hurting my pride?”, How can you do this thing to me?). Some more modern duets flip the genders in the song as if that’s supposed to make it sound less aggressive. But I’m more into this cover by someone named Chase Gregory who covers “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by rewriting the man’s lyrics entirely, with Chase singing both parts. Instead of wheedling the woman to stay, Chase’s dude is happy to escort her out and assure her it’s okay if she wants to go home. It’s pretty funny stuff!

Faking It (sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

Opening the box,

and all eyes are on me;

I hope this present rocks.

Whatever could it be?

Maybe it’s a gorgeous ring,

maybe it’s a hundred bucks,

soon I realize I was wrong–

this present really sucks.

Faking it, faking it,

I faked my face of glee,

have no idea why anyone

would give this gift to me.

Oh! Faking it, faking it,

I really cannot guess

why my aunt would think I want “Gigli” on VHS…

"Glynnis The Tea Party Grandma" (sung to the tune of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer”)

Glynnis the tea party grandma
has some antiquated views.
But can you really blame her?
Glenn Beck is where she gets her news.
Everyone in the family
sits through her awkward rants,
changing the subject quickly
whenever they get the chance.
Then one foggy Christmas eve
a naughty cousin said,
“This holiday won’t be complete
til we talk about Occupy Wall-Street.”
Then how the family freaked out
everybody had to vent:
“Glynnis the tea party grandma, you’re the 99%!”

Spending The Night In Separate Beds (sung to the tune of “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree”)- The Frisky

Spending the night in separate beds

when we’re at my parent’s house.

No funny business is allowed

because you are not my spouse.

Spending the night in separate beds,

it’s a game that we must play.

My mom is in heavy denial

so the couch is where you’ll lay.

You might get a sentimental feeling in your loins–

stay away, don’t let it show,

we’re virgins as far as they know.

Spending the night in separate beds,

it’s weird but it’s not so bad.

With all this pent up energy

December 26th will be rad.
