"What's in this drink" is an expression even I've used. It's an old one that means "alcohol." In other words, the woman in the song is trying to jokingly blame her feeling tipsy on something outside of her control...as in, "Oh, there's alcohol in this alcoholic drink?"
The duet was performed by both the composer and his wife anyway.
@Alexa Bond More like this is mid-20th century and her parents would freak if they found out she stayed the night with her boyfriend. She's trying to leave for that reason only.
@Cassidy I interpreted is as there being nothing in the drink, but she was pretending there was, to explain (to others, and maybe even herself) why she wanted to stay.
Bjørt Jansdóttir I met him at Gabrielle Aplin's show earlier this year. The support acts came out at the end to sell their CDs and to meet people and I was already a fan so I had a chat with him and had a photo. He's lovely
I've met him three times so far, and got him to write my tattoo. He's the nicest, most down to earth person I've ever met. He literally thanked me for coming to see him and for waiting for him.
hold up okay so the movie that this is from the woman’s like in her twenties and she lives w her parents because that’s what they did in the 40s (u didn’t move out until you got married),, “what’s in this drink” was a phrase used to imply that her behaviour was because she’d had a bit to drink (alcohol, nothing creepy)!! the whole song’s just about girl who wants to stay but doesn’t want the neighbours to gossip and has to pretend that she doesn’t want to bc that’s what fitted into what was socially acceptable!! v cute song from the 40s!! nothing creepy happening here!!
Lyrics: I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside) I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside) This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?) My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar) So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry) Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Baby it's bad out there) Say what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now) To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you) I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out) Baby it's cold outside
Ah, you're very pushy you know? I like to think of it as opportunistic
I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside) The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside) The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm) My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!) My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore) My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!) Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)
I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there) Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!) You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand) But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!) At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!) I really can't stay (Get over that old out) Baby it's cold Baby it's cold outside Okay fine, just another drink then That took a lot of convincing!
Both sounds so good! She has such a classy elegant voice and he sounds so sexy when he says "Gosh, your lips look delicious". I love it. Especially the girl! Her expressions are supersweet!
Theodore Chandra Actually this entire song makes way more sense when viewed from the mindset of someone from the time!
Women, even if they actually wanted to were expected to say no to sexual advanced because they weren't allowed sexual agency. The line "what's in this drink?" was actual a common joke, (like asking someone what's good) that everyone knew was a woman making an excuse as to why she had sex with someone. If you look at the lyrics, it's her commenting that there will be talk tomorrow, because she wants everyone to see her as a proper young lady even if she wasn't in the context of the time period. So that was a little wink at the audience, even though now in our era it sounds a little rapey. (To answer Dodie's question as to her age, it wasn't common for women to leave their homes and strike out on their own like it is now, they lived with their families until they were married and then they lived with their husbands.)
I don't think it's as simple as intent now, people are addressing the implications *now*. It may have been written then, but it's still being sung today.
Also, it definitely has a few predatory undertones. (Like the original writing of the song, in which the female was meant to be the "mouse" and the male was meant to be the "wolf". Because that isn't creepy.)
Also also, marital rape wasn't considered to be a "thing" until 1995, roughly 50 years later. There were plenty of rapey marriages going on in the 1940's.
Erynne GriffinI don't see it that way at all. It sounds like a flirtatious banter between two people who clearly want to stay together longer, but the girl is supposed to play coy. If there is any obvious undertones, it's more sexist than rape ones.
exactly! if u look up this song on youtube, one of the videos is from the actual movie. The first part is this version where the woman is trying to leave but then straight after it is the same song but the man is trying to leave. But i am yet to find anyone who has a problem with the 2nd part.
Theodore Chandra The saying was used back then that means “oh wow there’s alcohol in this alcoholic drink” and her joking about it being his fault when really it’s not. It’s not a rapey line you gotta think about the context of the time
@D W I don't even think it's fair to call the song itself sexist either. It's lyrics really only reference social norms at the time which are sexist, but it doesn't promote those ideals. If anything it subverts the sexist standards of the time. I wouldn't say it's a 'feminist' song by any means but it's not sexist really either.
This video is turning 5 years this incoming 21st December and I still love and come back to it every year since it was posted. This just hits differently!
Dodie I just came from one of your old videos and I was thinking, "this girl has got such a pretty voice" but then I came straight here and dude, your voice has improved so much (and I didn't even think it could get better???) and all your runs and everything are so strong and effortlessly natural and ugh marry me pls
for REAL. I was a long time fan of Andie, and she once linked to Doddle's channel, years ago. So I checked it out... Basically said.. "ehh. it's okay, but not really into it". Then I happened upon her video again months ago, and WOW. I love her content, the music and the heart to hearts about mental health. It's amazing what happens when you work on your craft.
Grace D The song really isn't creepy! Click the description and read whats on the link. It makes complete sense given the time period. She likes this guy and wants to stay the night, but "there will be talk tomorrow." It's crazy how times have changed and quite sad. If this song was to be released today no doubt it'd be suggesting rape culture but not so much in the 40s.
@Emily Stevens11 I guess it does make sense for the that time period. What sounded the weirdest though was the "Whats in this drink" insinuating he drugged her. But it could just be somethng else given the time period,
@Grace D I really think it means "is there alcohol in this drink?" Bc if there is she can blame her actions on the alcohol. However back then it would be unlikely there was any alcohol in the drink.
Sinful Slug Excuse me while I now make a whole sing with those lyrics (don't ask why I'm watching this during summer, I was looking through Dodies channel ok)
This video is just so perfect I don't even find the word to describe it. I mean it's really like petting a cat in a warm pullover sitting comfortably in a bed or a sofa, it's just so sweet. I'd describe it with words in my own language, which is french : Cette chanson est douce.
Yeah the adjective "doux" in french is kinda half a sensation, half an emotion, it's both physical and "psychological". I don't know if it's the same thing for "soft" or "sweet", but I think "doux" is really a strong word (I secretly believe it has a magical power)
Love this version - especially the sweet bit on the piano - and thanks for the post of the lyric analysis. Such a beautiful melody and playful counterpoint; would be terrible to lose this sweet courtship playfulness which I think adds to the coziness. Lovely voices and great phrasing.
Not Josh Dun Agreed! I can't even listen to this song anymore (whether the "rapey" interpretation is the correct one or not... it still perpetuates these ideas as acceptable and romantic). But I love this. It's so pretty I can ignore the lyrics.
i come back to this video every year. dodie has raised me since 2016, so thank you. things arent too great at home so i always appreciate this video, it gives me a warm feeling. <3
Lovely !!! Love her voice, how she phrases and her timing and everything !! I especially like these type songs and even older type songs. Songs from the 20, 30 , and 40’s .
I do love this song. I know lots of people don't like this song, but it's so pretty and I love your rendition of it. Your voices blend so well together. ❤️❤️
wishing this was on streaming platforms …….. i love this so much. i always come back to it during the holidays. it’s just …… so nice. hope you all have/had lovely holidays. and love to you both. ✨♥️
Michelle Mah She says “lend me a coat” because it’s cold, to which his response is “it’s up to your knees out there” which is basically saying that a coat isn’t going to do her a lot of good
It’s been nearly four years and still this cover is my favourite chritsmas song Every year I watch this video religiously and now it’s helping me get into the christmas spirit early again❤️
It's an adorable song. It's not rapey ... They literally SWITCH the scenario half way through the original song, where the guy tries to leave and she tries to make him stay. Ya'll just see what you wanna see in it...
me: there are too many covers of baby its cold outside im sick of it dodie: baby its cold outside cover me: YOO I LOVE BABY ITS COLD OUTSIDE MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG SO GOOD WHIP
OH MY GOODNESS Dodie and Lewis - a collab I never I knew I needed! I've been a fan of Lewis since 2011, so amazing to see such a talented two performing together!
They are so lovely!! I saw Lewis in concert in France last year, he was the first part of Oh Wonder. There was such a good atmosphere during this concert, it was AMAZING !
tips to people trying to play along, transpose frank loesser's version -3, and put a capo on the first fret. also, the solo is in the key of b flat. :)
This song sounds like hot chocolate on a cold night It sounds like a crackling Christmas fire It sounds like being wrapped in a blanket drinking tea Who knew a song bout being cold could be so warm?
Really beautiful to hear in this world of auto tune a beautiful raw interpretation of one of my favorite classics! Well done and beautiful natural and relaxed voices!
I've been subscribed to you for so long and I know you probably won't see this but I'm so happy that you've come so far!!! I learn all of your songs on guitar/uke and you gave me the idea to put a little ribbon on my ukulele. I love you!!!!! :)

Play the Dean Martin Quiz "Baby It's Cold Outside"
(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside (I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside (This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in (So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice
(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what's your hurry (My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar (So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry (Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour
(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there (Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there (I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now (To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer (At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride (I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold doubt [Both] Baby, it's cold outside
(I simply must go) Baby, it's cold outside (The answer is no) Baby, it's cold outside (The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in (So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm
(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious (My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore (My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious (But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there (Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there (You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand (But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow (At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died (I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt [Both] Baby, it's cold [Both] Baby, it's cold outside
I loved the song before but then I heard this cover and I was mesmerized like omyghaad give her a grammy!!!ps. this is my hundredth time watching this....hahahaha
finally, after 2 years i figured out the chords for this version of the song. it literally took me less 10 minutes lmao. if anyone wants them reply to this message and i’ll write them out for ya!
oop sorry just saw this now, here is the first verse. before playing any chords, Lewis just plays the notes F and G on the low E string and the open A string, and then he goes on to play the chords. Bbmaj7 (tab, from low E to high E: x1323x), Cmin7(x3534x), Dmin7(x5756x), then some sort of a C#9? (x4x44x), Cmin7, F7 (111211), Cmin7, F7. you play all this twice.
oH MY GOSH, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S THIS COVER IS GOING TO BE A YEAR OLD SOON! I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS COVER THE DAY IT CAME OUT UNTIL THE WHOLE JANUARY AND FEBRUARY LMAO
I have been watching your channel for a while, but I still find surprises like this. It'd take a long long time to watch all of your videos, so I just watch some sometimes. and I didn't know you filmed a video with Lewis Watson, he's one of my favourites!
Hi Dodie!! My goodness me I can not get over how much I LOVE your voice!! It's just so incredibly flawless and smooth! I had a few questions if you don't mind, I'm not sure if you'll see this but I really hope you do. Do you have any tips for singing in general? What recording equipment do you use? How about tips for song writing? I've tried so hard to turn my feelings into music and for some reason I just can't do it. Also, what goes in to making one of your music videos? Like what's the entire process? It's so fascinating to me for some reason...Anywho, thanks Dodie!!! I love you soooooo much and it would mean the world to me if you replied. You make me smile on even my darkest days. So please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD never stop doing what you do. You make so many, myself included, happy just by sharing your incredible talent with us. I hope your day is wonderful!! <3 :)
god- im watching this alittle over a month till christmas.. im kinda mad at myself for not finding this sooner. anyways, this is a super good cover! and I wish everyone a Merry christmas! illyy! <3
Kim Olyslager Why can't you hear it its not rapey!!!! "say what's in this drink"" is like when you have a really good dish and you're like yum what are the ingredients or te recipe or how did you make this stop looking for things where they are not and "" at least im gonna say that i've tried"" is like oh so my parents dont get mad im gonna say that I tried to go but it was just too cold or too late or something. You people can be as intolerant as you please but stop ruining things just because you're bored.
Ehm, excuse you? Can you please calm down? I am not bored or anything, I just meant it in like a "i head this song 8 times an hour on the radio, so please people stop playing it", not because its a bad song. I just heard it a bit to often. Don't be so negative and make me look like a 'bad and bored' person because i am not, you're the one being negatie here and that's all i'm going to say bye have a nice christmas
Kim Olyslager im sorry but nearly EVERYONE on this thread is saying the song is rapey or " i cant even hear the song"" so i misinterpreted your comment
Caya Bennett dude i apologize i know I should have read her comment and im sorry and I said people that think its rapey can be as intolerant as they please but dont ruin it for people who just want to hear a lovely song
Hi dodie. I'd just like to say that i love your videos. I've been watching ur videos for a long time now but my favoutite is ur death of a bachelor cover as i love P!ATD and u sound amazing. I love singing and I learnt how to play the ukulele too. I always listen and sing along to ur covers😂. Also congrats on announcing ur sexuality! I thought it was rlly brave of u to come out in a video when over 700,000 ppl saw. (No pressure😉😂) I think that u r funny, brave, pretty, talented and inspirational. Just know that no matter what u will always be the amazing person u are today. Don't let the haters bring u down as u have got so many ppl supporting u. Thank u for being u, Eliza Xxx

10th of December 2017 and I'm still in love with this. BUT I am also in love with how Dodie always puts her name last when collabing with people?!!! Anyone else notice that?? I LOVE YOU DODIEEEEE❤️❤️❤️
I love this song, but it's really creepy if you think about it. But Dodie's voice combined with Lewis' voice just make every little thing in my mind disappear.
I've been watching a few of your videos and I was thinking that you really remind me of Zooey Deschanel. This has solidified these thoughts! Such a sweet singing voice and you look like her a little bit too. :)
Lewis Watson omg u did a cover with him, my friend was lucky enough to attend his pop up gig - unfortunately I couldn't go!! Lewis if ur reading the comments I love your new song little light and I can't wait to see you live ahhh!!
I was doing a writing assignment and it was poetry...I wrote this because Dodie came to mind: Dodie Clark is an amazing singer The beautiful songs always linger The talented harmonies Bring me to my knees Oh the so very talented singer
The original performance of that song is in a classic movie called Neptune's Daughter, and in the first half of the song, it's actually a girl singing it to a guy. It's really quite funny to watch. I do suggest looking it up.
Edit: also funny thing is that Neptune's Daughter is not a Christmas movie
I wrote an original song recently on my channel! You've been such and inspiration for me to write songs on my ukulele so thank you and check it out if you like🖤
That was a really interesting tumblr post! Thanks for sharing. I’ll admit the song still makes me uncomfortable, though, because I can’t fully pull my head out of the 21st century or away from the knowledge that most people singing and listening to this song don’t know the historical context.
Hey this song isn't rapey! Like you said she is playing with the social expectations, like when she says she /ought/ to say no. You were pointing out that she mentions the whole family but yeah she doesn't need to be young to be worrying about that. The infamous line about the drink is because she's joking that that could be used as an excuse. I once saw a really in depth explanation why this song honestly is ok, I can't remember all the reasons but genuinely! Not problematic! Also this version is luuuusssshhh nice work 😍
yeah like I think it's just too people in love. like the way the song is written is playful and it sounds like the girl knows she should go but really wants to stay, and wants the man to give her a reason to stay
Excellent performance! I absolutely loved both of their voices. Sad though that from a modern perspective the lyrics seem objectionable but they weren't meant to be when they were written. The original performers would close an evening's festivities with this song signaling the end of the night with the remaining party guests in attendance. This song was never meant to be "rapey"
fun fact: dodie has HASHTAG INSPIRED me to wear more collared shirts under jumpers cos im always in awe of her snapchat story and her cute ass comfy looking style
i cannot look at dodie without smiling like honestly?? her faces and expressions are so cute, her fashion choice makes her seem so smol and cute, like AwH !!
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW FAST I CLICKED ON THIS MY TWO FAVORITE SINGERS IN ONE VIDEO NOW MY CHRISTMAS IS 100 TIMES BETTER THANK YOU I LOVE YOU HAVE A VERY NICE CHRISTMAS YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL
Dodie you are one of my top musical inspirations and I thank you so much because with every upload you inspire me to follow my wildest dreams (like making videos). Thank you, you were wonderful as always, and so was he 💘
i was just watching one of your old videos, absolutely smitten, and then clicked onto this. and holy crap your voice improved so much, i didn't even know that was possible. absolutely love this, dodie xxx
I like this cover better than any other. All the others that I have heard seem too jumpy and too loud, but I feel it takes away from the song. This version really portrays the mood of the song because if you were to be staying at someones house overnight when you really shouldn't be its not like you would be singing it at the top of your lungs.
I really can't stay (but baby, it's cold outside) I've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside) This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?) My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar) So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry) But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour) The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there) Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there) I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now) To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?) At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?) I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out) But baby, it's cold outside I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside) The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside) Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn) My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious) My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore) My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious) But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before) I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there) Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there) You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand) But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?) There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow) At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died) I really can't stay (get over that old out) Baby, it's cold Baby, it's cold outside
Every single year I watch this and I'm like, "damn I really like Dodie's dress, I wonder where she got it from" and to this day I've never found it and I'm very sad
This is actually from an old movie called Neptune's Daughter and it won best original song! It's being acted as two potential couples try to pursue their love interests.
(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside (I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside (This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in (So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer (At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride (I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold doubt [Both] Baby, it's cold outside
(I simply must go) Baby, it's cold outside (The answer is no) Baby, it's cold outside (The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in (So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm
(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious (My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore (My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious (But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before
(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there (Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there (You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand (But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

this is the cutest thing ever. you two are magic! i don’t like to promote myself, but all i want to do in life is music, and it’d mean the world to me if anyone reading this could check out even one of my covers. i just uploaded an acoustic version of last christmas ❤️🎄
If you want to find a problem you'll find a problem. I think this song is sweet. Listen, she's talking about how everyone else will feel about her staying, not about how she feels. I love this song. And LOVE this version.
I think when she says "what's in this drink" it's in a playful flirtatious kinda tone, like she still staying because she wants to although she has to leave.. idk just my opinion :p
the 3 entire people who say this song is rapey haven't even listened to the song "sister will be suspicious", "the neighbors might think", etc. it's about social liberation, not sexual assault.
Its Dec 1 for me when i watched this and this made my day i did't have the best day so yeah I think this song is little creepy but the tune is so nice and cute!! <3 <3
I really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside) I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside) This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in) So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice) My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?)

At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?) I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out) Baby it's cold outside Ah, you're very pushy you know? I like to think of it as opportunistic I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside) The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside) The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in) So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm) My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!)

At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!) I really can't stay (Get over that old out) Baby it's cold Baby it's cold outside Okay fine, just another drink then That took a lot of convincing!

The "what's in this drink" line comes from a common joke during that time where ppl (usually women) would say "whats in this drink" as an excuse to act a little silly or otherwise outside of proper social behavior. The joke of it was that their drinks that they were blaming their behavior on contained little to no alcohol
I agree with the tumblr post that you linked. It's evident that this is the case. You can hear the flotation tone that the girl uses! The language isn't forceful, it is an accurate representation of how women were not supposed to say yes! Ye. If this was written now then I'd be concerned but it was the 1940's! Yeah. (❤️lovely cover)
If you look for it you can find Rapey undertones in everything, all I see is a romantic song about stupidly trying to convince your significant other into staying with you.

I have always loved this song and even more so after seeing your cover , but bruuuhh😒😐 Y'all kinda ruined it after implying it as 'rapey' not even 5 seconds later. Now I can't help but cringe a bit when I listen to it 😄☹️😣 But anyway you still did superb! 👍🏾
for the end of the video: in around the 1920's, women that were wealthy usually lived with their parents until they got married that's probably why she still sung about her mother and father being worried. sometimes these women could still be like 20 years old hence why she was drinking but what iS IN HER DRINK??? also, i love this song so much ahhhhhhh
Fluffy popcorn I think it's meant as a joke, like "how am I even considering this". Like it's a magical drink which changes her mind, but not because it's a drug.
I mean let's be honest it's a good song regardless of what it sounds like and as long as your not stupid the lyrics shouldn't be bothersome in that kinda way
"Say, what's in this drink?" was a common joke in the 40s where the punchline was basically "Nothing." The equivalent of "omg I'm soooooooo drunk guess I have to stay here now......" A way for women to take agency over their sexuality
Hi dodie, so I was wondering how you'd feel about making a vid about being a person with depression who's still functioning. I get shut down all the time because although I'm depressed I'm still able to function so no one takes me seriously and I thought maybe you had an experience or thoughts on this. Thank you :)
Alpacalaca I’m very late haha but she explained it in the tumblr post in the description She’s saying “what’s in a drink” as if she has alcohol in it but she most likely doesn’t She’s using as an excuse to stay incase people ask her the next day because women had to seem weak and coy in the 40s
I really really really want the tabs for this. I'm trying got find the tabs for this that isn't strumming and cant find any. I'm resorted to trying to figure it out and its taking me forever. someone please respond!!!!! i will pay you.... in smiles.
I can't listen to this song without thinking of this girl I was really gay with. We sat alone in the in this one closet of our school and kissed it was great omg
Rapy? BS... Rape is FORCE, not flirtation and expressing a normal desire. I love this song for it's playfulness and realism. At no time does the man say "nope, you can't. I'll lock you in" and at no time does the lady say "No, don't touch me. Stop!" If a guy is being pushy and getting coy hints back.. it's all part of that wonderful game.
"what's in this drink" is actually a stock joke from the 40's. The idea is that she's being coy and trying to blame her sexual agency on her drink but the punch line is that the drink itself isn't even alcoholic so her being promiscuous is just her wanting to, not her being drugged. Essentially she's blaming her sexuality on the drink when it isn't the one to blame because women weren't expected to be promiscuous.
lady boywonder don't watch that part then people can have an opinion and she literally put an explanation to the lyrics in the description. it's a beautiful cover so leave your comment at that
"What's in this drink" was a common joke in the 40s. The joke is that there isn't any alcohol in the drink, but the jokester is blaming his/her actions on being drunk. Also, she may have been in her early 20s and still living with her parents. I think that may have been more of a thing back then.

I don't know why but I always thought this was song was slightly menacing- in my head it was about a fox trying to trick a rabbit to stay so he could eat it. But it was more in a Beatrix Potter sense where it you're kinda voting for the fox

Here is the tumblr post that she linked in the description:
Hi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s.
So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely sounds like a rape anthem.
BUT! Let’s look closer!
“Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.
See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency.
Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.
So it’s not actually a song about rape - in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
Best explanation of where this song came from I’ve heard, and it illustrates how much things have changed since then.
I always thought the "what's in this drink" was just her trying to change the subject and ask what kind of gin he put in it or something like that but idk man
But dear lord stop it with this silliness. This is not a rapey song. It's a man trying to seduce a woman into staying over, and the woman playing it hard to get. "At least I could say that I tried" she wants to stay over but she's worried about what everyone will think. "What's in this drink" just means that his drink is really good and I want more of it. That is all.
I think it's silly to get so defensive over a song. The song doesn't have feelings, it's not going to be hurt by people saying that is is rapey. Which it is.
Beck Styles I don't care about the song or the way people will feel. I care about telling the truth

the truth: this song was written in the 1940s, when there was a much larger power imbalance between men and women in society. the truth: different people are going to feel different ways about this song. it's about a man trying to coax a woman into staying over with him, and it's unclear whether or not she really wants to. the truth: it was written by a man and illustrates a scenario in which he is able to persuade a dissenting party into doing what he wants. arguably rape-y.
i'm not saying it is definitely a rape-y song, and neither did dodie. she expressed two sides of the speculation surrounding it. but your version of "THE TRUTH" isn't necessarily the only way to think about this song, and i think you're being a bit thickheaded to say that your opinion is the only correct way to think about something. cheers.
Dodie you're a beautifl bean but Lewis creeps me out a bit too much to watch this fully.. I don't know what it is, he just pokes an awkward button for me lol
I've actually done some research and the term isn't as rape-y as it sounds, it's actually a way women used to "excuse" staying longer/going out or getting frisky with a man. It didn't actually mean what it does now.
Just gonna clarify, the line "say, what's in this drink?" isn't her asking him "...say, what IS in this drink??" From what I understand, it's meant to be more coupled with the previous line, "the neighbors might think," so like, the neighbors might speculate about what may or may not be in this drink (which, at the time this song was composed, was far less likely than nowadays to be a drug or anything more nefarious than alcohol). SLIGHTLY less rape-y in that interpretation. And yes, I'm fairly sure that in the original context in which this was written, the woman did have to play coy and refuse a man's advances (possibly even a certain number of times) in order to maintain the like... public image of her purity/goodness/whatever (basically so she wasn't perceived as a slut). But again... it's just a product of the (rape) culture in which it was written. In that context, I'm sure it was meant as a flirty give-and-take until she "gives in" (which she clearly wanted to do anyway, but we've got to keep up appearances, dear...) In modern context, hell yeah the lyrics sound gross and creepy - the guy's line especially sounds very very pushy. Which sucks because it's really one of the only good holiday duets, this time of year.
in other news your voices are lovely and you are both adorable and I hate how this song sounds creepy if you actually listen to the words because on the surface it's got such good potential to be either playful or romantic. And honestly this sort of softer, subtler style is what I prefer with this song, because it does feel more genuine and less over-the-top pushy.
ehehh ik this is hella old, but i wanna say that the "what's in this drink" line is about her blaming her behavior on the drink, so it's part of that second one, the women of the forties having to be coy
Im pretty sure the "Whats in this drink" line, shes trying to think of an excuse for why she wants to stay. Also the cigarette more and at least im gonna say that I tried. This song isnt rapey. She knows shes gonna be shamed if she does this, but she wants to stay and stuff.
It's not rapey; it happened a lot that women had to be coy and pretend to put up a fight to appear as if they're not unladylike to their friends and family in the 1940s. The drink probably didn't have alcohol in it, but she might've pretended there was to say that oh, she wasn't completely in her right senses and didn't feel well enough to go back home. Today, women aren't kept back by silly rules like that most of the time, but back then this was a way that women could stay and sleep with a guy and not be shamed for it and no one would suspect that she did that. I've read an analysis by someone who studied the culture from that era for their uni degree and they explained that this was what was very likely happening.
Dodie please notice me me again I love your videos and I bought a signed ep I love it and I asked for advice on a crippling crush and you said good luck un fortunately nothing's came from it but oh well
I don't think it's a rapey song I think is just that she's not "supposed" to stay late with a guy because as you said it was a time in history were women weren't allowed to do most things, but she clearly wants to stay, though she's supposed to say "well, I should go".
@***** Yes but I didn't understand it so literal I guess. Since later she says something like "breaking this spell" I thought it was more like "I should be more responsible what's happening to me?". The answer may be love or not, we never know, but I guess I chose the first. Even at that age when society wasn't concerned about feminism I don't think singing about taking advantage of drunk/drugged women was seen as very cool, you know :P
thank you, i totally agree. people get way too triggered. and they just assume things are always bad, and don't even think about what other possibilities there are.
yeah, any time she's saying "i gotta go" it's half-hearted and based off of what OTHER people want her to do. she literally thinks up excuses herself along with the excuses the guy is thinking up for her.
I think that from a more open view it's actually a cute song. It may sound weird in 2016 but if we think on how people were back then that may be a beautiful dialogue between two people that clearly want to be together despite the social norms.
It's funny how many defenders of the song are here (fans of someone like Dodie no less), where the song includes lyrics like: 'What's in this drink?' and 'The answer is 'No'.' Not to mention the guy saying: 'How can you do this thing to ~me~?'
I would say that this a good example of why people have to accept that these things are blurry, that the tone and inflection and situation can change the nature of this and that some indiscretions are unfortunate or inexcusable but not necessarily worth demonizing a person.
This song isn't so black and white. A simple change in inflection and song style could easily make this song horrifying. As humans, we just have to accept that things float in the grey area.
As far as the "What's in this drink?" line goes, that was a stock joke from the time the song was written (the 1940's). The joke is that there's absolutely nothing alcoholic (or very little alcohol, at the least) in the drink - the woman wants to stay, but as the lyrics imply, she's worried about how the neighbors and her family will react. A single woman staying the night with a man would have been scandalous at the time. The man's lyrics provide excuses that will be acceptable to others: it's too cold, there aren't any cabs, etc. Suggesting that she might be drunk is just another one of these excuses.
The song only seems creepy now because we've lost the context for it.
Scarlet McCluskey not really triggered though. maybe "taking things too seriously" would be a much more accurate phrase to describe what you meant ahahaha
Eleanor P "what's in this drink" was a joke from the era the song was first written I think? they used to act silly and then blame it on something being slipped into their drink, when the drink was really fine and the person would just have been joking
Ryu i agree with you, it's all about how people interpret it and there's no need for us to get angry about how other people see it. its just a song, hopefully nobody will take all the things percieved as negative to heart.
Also the original song didn't have the sheet music as 'Man' and 'Woman. It has 'Wolf' and 'Mouse', so you could quite easily flip the genders, or do whatever the hell you want with them.
When she says "say, what's in this drink?" At the time, that was a common line to say "I really want to, but hmm let's see what excuse I can come up with..."
Yes I agree but also if she intends on leaving (regardless of whether she wants to or not) she should be able to leave without this guy preventing her from doing so.
Artistic Author Thanks for the link. The author's opinion is similar to mine, also I read the link ok the description and there's another good explanation there. The point is, music depends a lot on its time, and it can age. Maybe this conversation won't really happen nowadays, but it doesn't mean that we have to see it with the eyes of our time.
Riley Banks That's a good point you have here. Because I see that most people complain because she's a woman but if the conversation was gender swapped most won't say it's rapey.
hey everyone, she put a link in the description of an English professor explaining why the song is actually not a creep fest and debunks the thoughts about it, I was sceptical at first too.
Jailyn Marshall it's...louder? Something like that? It's different and I like it too (also not saying she doesn't sound good in other videos hahaha, I love dodie)
Honestly, This is one of my favorite covers of this song! Dodie and Lewis' voices sound so good together. The British accents make it sound so much nicer (in my opinion)! Fantastic job guys!
I love the intimacy of this cover its beautiful to listen to, if you are able to more covers with Lewis would be gratefully received. Hope you and all your beautiful viewers have a brilliant holiday season, best of luck for the new year Lx
Lovely rendition. Your voices and style are very different from what I usually associate with the song, which threw me off at first, but your talent and unique twists captured my attention, and I really appreciated it.
Thanks so much for linking that explanation. I've always loved this song but kinda avoided it because of its implications, and now I know better! Beautiful as always <3
You are amazing at singing. I saw you on got what it takes a singing programme on cbbc and I am sooo jealous of the people who got to meet you in person they are so lucky
i'm gonna be honest dodie, i've been listening to this non stop since you posted it. i'd heard the song maybe a few times before, and now i know every word. i've showed my entire family. you're voices just sound so amazing!
Hi Dodie, soo just wantet to tell you that your videos mean a lot to me :) You help me in a lot of ways by making me smile, or reminding me that everything will make sense again when I can't even imagine what happiness feels like, or by making me feel not so alone in my "brain-state" ...Anyway I put a song of mine for the very first time on youtube which may not seem like a very big deal, but for me it is. And I just wanted to say thank you! You've been my biggest inspiration :) Thanks for everything, Dodie! Hope you are well!
I love this song - despite it's depiction of that twisted misogynist society from the 40's - and you've made such a beautiful and particular rendition! I can't stop listening. But sorry, my favorite cover of this song remains the one by Carrie and Tom Law. A shame he unlisted that video. Regarding the gender roles, I like how Lady Gaga and JGL sang it, with the roles reversed :)

love it!! these lyrics (from the Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé duet) pretty much fix the song for those who think its a bit not good:
I really can't stay - Baby, it's cold outside I've got to go away - Baby, it's cold outside This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry? My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fire place roar So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry But maybe just a half a drink more - I'll put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there Say was that a wink? - No cabs to be had out there I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell I ought to get home for dinner - Mind if I move in closer? So it's time for me to cast you aside - What's the sense in hurting my pride? I really can't stay - Baby, don't hold out Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside So thanks for the show - But, baby, it's cold outside The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm My sister will be suspicious - Gosh your lips look delicious My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious But maybe just another dance more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home - Baby, you'll freeze out there Say, lend me a coat? - It's up to your knees out there You've really been grand - I thrill when i touch your hand But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me? There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life-long sorrow At least there'll be plenty implied - If you got pneumonia and died I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
... How the even, can someone sing a song do well and effortlessly. I mean, even my Mum approves and that takes A LOT. Hahahaha, my favourite part is definitely this, I can't stop listening to it 0:22.
Dodie, you're literally the best! Also, you videos about sexuality have kind of helped me with mine a little... I'm still like unsure and doubtful and stuff trying to work things out, but they've really helped so I wanted to say thanks. ^^ okay, thats all. keep doing what you're doing cause its the best!
I'm iffy about this song because it does sound weird lyric-wise and a little suspicious, but I do love this cover!! both of your voices together sound lovely :)
I read a really good explanation of how this song was written at a time when women where not considered sexual beings, and apparently the "what's in this drink"-line was used quite a lot as an excuse for women's behavior, even when there was no alcohol involved... Also all the ways the man tries to "keep her" can be seen as him trying to help her find an excuse to tell her parents, because it was normal for a lot of women to live with their parents until they got married back then
I found you through Jon Cozart and I am sooooo happy I found you because you are absolutely stunning. You have inspired me to keep going towards my dreams and I will one day get there! (Btw imma 12 yo girl)
This was pretty af and you are cute and talented. Also 'what's in this drink?' was a 40s meme: women weren't really supposed to drink alcohol (it was considered too strong for them) so if they were caught drinking they would deny any knowledge of it
(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside (I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside (This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in (So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there (Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there (You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand (But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me
(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow (At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died (I really can't stay) Get over that old doubt [Both] Baby, it's cold [Both] Baby, it's cold outside
If you watched the episode of I Love Lucy that this song came from, the "what's in my drink" part would be explained. They accidentally take a sip from a vase that had flowers in it. Not drugs, just flowers. You're welcome.
i never thought it was creepy! like the whats in this drink seems like a silly joke (probs shouldnt talk about date rape like that but 40s) and i dont think shes that desperate to go. i think its like oh... i should leave..... but she doesnt actually get up. shes lingering. and hes like oh please stay! its cold out and i think youre so amazing. ive always thought it was just the sweetest song about two young lovers (and the mother father thing, i dont think shes that young, i think women in the 40s just lived at home till they were married off so her parents are waiting for her to come home from courting). I reallly dont think its a sinister song.
I wish they would have at least looked at each other. its a very dinamic song for two and the really didn't interact. oh well! liked it anyway :) good job
Liana's Music I know you are allowed your opinion but I don't think it's fair to Dodie for us to ship her with every person she now collabs with like a lot of the time it is just good friendship as much as we would like it to be real. Sorry if this offends you x
Heart Eyes Howell I've never shipped her with anyone else before. They're two of my favorite artists so I thought. Aw yeah boi cute. Didn't mean to offend anyone. So yeah I'm sorry if I offended you dodie.
I think the whole 'rapey' vibes come from the fact she says she wants to go but he takes his own meaning and translates this to either; 1"I want to stay but I'm afraid of what others might think" or 2 "I really want you to convince me, and take charge!" Either way it seems like he is thinking "she cant possibly be telling me what she wants directly! I don't trust this person enough for them to truly tell me what they REALLY mean! They must mean yes even when they are saying no!" Which MIGHT be true the alternative is concerning to say the least! XD
Marvel Mockingjay you can't gather that just from the lyrics though, like it depends what tone it was said in, her facial expressions etc. Besides the "I wish I knew how to break this spell" suggests she doesn't actually want to leave, she just "should." It's flirtation. The difference between flirty and creepy is solely based on whether you're into that person or not
this song is definitely not rapey. as you said, i believe she's being coy, and acting hard-to-get, saying she must go but really looking for a reason to stay. she is just worried what other people would think of her staying with the guy. in the time period and context that the song was written, it probably didn't have anything to do with rape, even though the lyrics, put into our time, are a bit creepy. of course, you shouldn't REALLY compare the lyrics to today's culture, since they're in two completely different times.
hey! I have a question. I brought a guitalele BUT if I want to press any string for example on the first space or however its called, it sounds like I'm pressing on the second one, and if I press on the second, it sounds like I'm pressing on the third one. Does anyone know how to fix it?
""say what's in this drink"" is like when you have a really good dish and you're like yum what are the ingredients or te recipe or how did you make this stop looking for things where they are not and "" at least im gonna say that i've tried"" is like oh so my parents dont get mad im gonna say that I tried to go but it was just too cold or too late or something. You people can be as intolerant as you please but stop ruining things just because you're bored.
Oh, that makes sense! I'm pretty sure that I heard from somewhere else that way back in the day, when this song was released, "Say, what's in this drink?" Was a common joke that women would make! It was usually said when she was drinking something that obviously wasn't alcoholic, or something extremely mild, and the irony was the joke!
the what's in this drink refers to the fact that the song was written in the 20s during prohibition and alcohol was illegal and therefore she's suspicious at the fact that he has illegal liquor on him. Not so much the idea that he roofied her or anything I don't think?
I never thought about this as a rapey song until i read the comments on this video. It's clear she wants to stay but isn't allowed. You guys are sick...
oh come on it's not rapey! it actually is a witty social commentary on women's status in the '40s. where women lived with their parents until marriage (so she could have been, for example, 25) and when she says "what's in this drink" it means that it's strong, it's an expression used by many as a compliment. you have to contextualise it, and not look at it with a 2016 mentality.
Eleanor the koala Well, it explains how it wasn't in the 40's but listening to the lyrics today it sounds creepy, so even if it wasn't intentional it's still kinda rapey today.
+Ivan.W I personally think all creations (for want of a better word) need to be considered in both the contexts they were made in and the context they are being performed in. for me lyrics like these are okay once you know what they're actually saying because it actually the girl being like " I shouldn't want to be here but I do so I'll blame the snow"
When in rape cases women are often blamed for their alcohol consumption (e.g Stanford rape case) I think there is a problem with the supposed light hearted joke. If you're worried about the connotations of the lyrics leave it altogether because frankly, the uncomfortable meaning will end up remaining regardless of your "witty" analysis.
so so lovely!! also for those wondering, apparently the "what's in this drink" line refers to her wondering if it had alcohol in it as it was during the prohibition era
Only took 20 seconds until I clicked the thumbs up :) Dodie you're so freakin talented, I hope the world will listen to your amazing voice for quite some time.
I'm constantly trying to find the best version of this song - this might be the one. Happy Holidays Dodie and Lewis, thank you for blessing us with this beautiful song!!
This should only be listened to late at night, lights off, good headphones on, eyes closed and rain outside. happy place is you two singing...probably anything but we'll go with this song
dodie please collab with cameron sanderson. you're both amazingly talented, individual artists with such unique voices and styles and what-not. it would be such a lovely collab, I'd love for it to happen. I've seen you two talking before and it's again, lovely to know how close the music community is x
omg this collab is crazy: i discovered Lewis Watson because he was an act at the beginning of an Oh Wonder concert i saw in Lille (france), i went to go see oh wonder because i discovered them after u posted a cover, and NOW UR ON YT WITH LEWIS THIS IS MAAD waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Despite the many a rapey lyric, this song is actually quite innocent. Lyrics like "say what's in this drink?" Are just her way of saying, "oops looks like I'm staying now"
Actually there's a whole thing about this song, the "what's in this drink" line was a way of playfully blaming the drink for certain actions. It was almost a common joke that was said.
i was gonna comment about how I'm surprised you recorded this w/o saying anything but I'm glad i didnt bc you did mention how weird the lyrics are haha
Appreciate that commentary at the end. I also love this song buuut it has issues. Like the guy in the song completely disregards that she is not giving consent and wants to leave.
The line most people have the most issue with is the "what's in this drink" but that was actually a pretty common joke in the 40's, like kinda an excuse for doing something 'untowards' or socially unacceptable like contextually in the 21st cent. it sounds pretty date rapey and gross but in the 40's it didn't really have those connotations. Basically I think this song was meant to be cute and romantic and I've decided to love it again. (Also @dodie in terms of her parents being there, well she wouldn't have lived away from her parents until after she was married so this too is a-ok not as creepy as it seems) Hope this clears some things up bc it's a fun catchy song :))
Reading all the stoooopid people moaning over this song being rapey, makes me sad. It's amazing how some parts of the current generation think they have the patent on interpretation, thinking they can take control of what is allowed to be said or in this case sung. Completely, and on purpose, ignoring the actual message and substituting it with the one you make up, and in most cases attacking the messenger for being of the state of mind you've dreamt up, is such a spoiled and respectless way of thinking. ..and sadly more and more people tend to let these whiners control their actions, because they're afraid of the shitstorm. Such a bad direction to be going. Luckily i also see lots of sensible people, who have bother5ed to look into the actual meaning of things, now raise their voices. I think more people are tired of the tyranny and lack of reason and truthfulness. There is still hope that SJWs and other scum like that wont win in the end.
It's not a rapey song for me.. maybe the guy's just being nice. Maybe the weather's just really bad and he wants the girl to actually live for atl least a day. 😂😂
my friends told me to listen to you and i have to say it's just kinda...meh. I mean you can sing but it's nothing i haven't heard before, i think you need a bit more time to find your own sound cause its a bit too generic. Yet again you can sing, but i can hear this anywhere and just sounds like any other generic singer.
I haven't even watched this yet bc I'm so overwhelmed by how much I love both of these people ☺ I've been a fan of Lewis for absolute ages and Dodie is my fave lil cutie, what a wonderful Christmas present 💕
What an amazing cover! Such class, much beauty. Though I do find the premise of this song a bit creepy, this video was absolutely incredible and I always look forward to new sounds coming from Dodie :)
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for dodie to do a duet of this song. Honestly this is so so lovely and the syncopation just feels so calm, thank you for this lovely tune!!
Okay so the Idina Menzel and Michael Buble version of this song used to be my favorite but y'all just blew that away I'm so obsessed with this. Amazing job!!
thank you so much for putting up that link with the explanation in the description! I used to feel really bad each time I heard for the last couple of christmases (since I paid attention to the lyrics) but this really cheers me up! Merry christmas, Dodie!
Not enough people have said this so I'm just gonna say it: this is ur best cover yet, you've always been good but you've improved so much omg I love u this seriously sounds sO GOOd
Dodiiiiiieeee ❤✨😍☺ I Love You so bad !!!!! All your songs are so unique and I enjoy every day a new video is up btw your so funny I hope I will meet you someday I'm from Germany 🙈✨🍀🎀👸🏼🙌🏻 bye love you great cover as always made me smile
"Say, what's in this drink?" was a common question back then when people liked a drink and just literally wanted to know what was in it. I just got into Dodie and this is my favorite Christmas song so this is perfect!
Yes the song is just a tad rapey. But it's also an example of the change in society from when it was written to now. That tumblr post that Dodie linked in the comments explains it 👌. Great cover💕
To make it less rapey in my head I just assume by "hey, what's in this drink?" she's meaning it like "hey, i like this, what's in it?" like she's genuinely curious about the flavours
okay @ all the people saying apologizing to dodie saying they love her but this song is rapey, she literally addresses it at the end of the video. she knows. it's okay!!
I'm the 1940s it was considered scandalous to drink alone with a man and stay the night. She's not scared of being raped, she's scared of being judged.
i seen this whole post about the song actually meant to represent like owning her sexuality or whatever and the line "what's in this drink" is like wow why am i acting like this, im surprised i haven't had anything and im still here or whatever i don't quite remember lmao and the people who wrote are married or something lol
It's not rapey. The mother and father bits are from a time that a woman would go from living with her parents to living with her husband with no in between. The woman is pretending to be coy. The bit about the drink is more a reference to alcohol and not roofies. Things can be of their times and not be problematic. I will often jokingly say "are you trying to get me drunk and have your way with me" to my husband when he hands me a drink of any kind. It is in no way serious or a rape joke.
Apparently it was really normal for women to not drink at all in the time it was written, and saying "Say, what's in this drink!" was a way of excusing their 'less coy behavior' or something. So like they're pretending it's the drink when they're just doing what they want to do :p it was a strange time.
I don't THINK it's a rapey song. You can hear a tone in it where the woman is just being coy and doing something she wants to but knows she shouldn't. As for the 'what's in this drink' line, it really sounds like a joke, (a now problematic joke in poor taste perhaps, but a joke none the less) about how she wants to stay but shouldn't stay so something else must be making her. Anyways, a beautiful cover!!!
I never realized how perfect her voice would be for this. Well, Her voice is perfect for everything sooooo. Lewis was also great to! My first time listening to him :)
Dodie your voice is so soothing. I Iike to listen to your EP and those few ASMR videos you uploaded a while ago when I'm in bed to bring me back down to a relaxed state ☺️
this is amazing theres only one cover of this song that i apriciate more and thats by tom law and carrie hope fletcher but thats been deleted for some reason ???? i love your voice dodie
MERRY CHRISTMAS DODIE THIS SOUNDS REALLY NICE! Sorry about the all caps! ^_^ It's a lovely song(just a little rapey!It's funny this morning me and my friends were asking,"What is in the drink?!")
I personally don't see this as rapey at all. It's about a gentleman graciously asking a woman to stay. At no point does he force her or make her do anything against her will. All he is saying is how much he wants her not to go, it's romance not rape. He clearly likes her a lot and is trying to pursuance her, there's nothing wrong with that. Peoples minds can change. He says "mind if I move in closer" he clearly asks for consent.
The points you bought up about age and mentioning her parents seem silly. Most people over the age of 21 still have both parents alive so I don't see how this is relevant. Parents will worry about their children regardless of age. I know many parents who still wait up for their children even though they are around 19-20 years old.
Secondly you mentioned the line "what's in this drink" I take your point this ones meaning is more spurious as we do not know the full context. However, I've always assumed it was made in a joking context. She clearly can see how much this man is interested in her and, in my opinion, is joking with him about putting something in her drink to make her stay. That's my interpretation although I do agree that in a certain context this line could be worrying however I find it unlikely that a songwriter would write a love song about a man drugging a woman. Hardly romantic.
I love this song, I find it truly shows a deep passion and I think you're looking a lot more into it than is really there
I always thought the "what's in this drink" was more of a "hey this drink is delicious, what is it?" Never really thought about it being creepy til later in life.
I guess I've always interpreted it as a coy thing from the lyrics. She wants to stay, but she's worried about the massive social fallout the next day. Regarding the "say, what's in this drink?" line, as well as others, I've wondered if it isn't her getting her stories straight for the following day..."I think there might have been something in the drink I had." Of course, all of this may be incorrect. Who knows? Some interesting points either way, and maybe that's the point. What really happened remains in question. In any event, I'd love to see a role reversal version of this song, with the woman flat out getting "rapey" on the man. In a good natured way, of course. And as an old friend once said, "You can't rape the willing." Lol!
I saw a tumblr post about this song and i can't remember all the points it made but it basically said that the song was a product of its time and therefore filled with the expressions and gender roles from that time period, stuff we'd consider odd or creepy. It completely changed my opinion on the song so I don't think it's meant to be him forcing himself on her. At least I hope not haha
When I hear this song the only things I can really think about are the excuses women teach each other to give guys instead of outright rejecting them. Don't say no, give him a fake phone number. Don't say no, tell him you have a boyfriend. Don't say no, tell him someone is expecting you elsewhere. Don't say no, don't say no, don't say no, you don't know how he'll react.
For the time I'm definitely putting it on the coy-side of flirtation. That being said, it's can be the same situation today. For more look up the How I Met Your Mother's Dobler-Dahmer theory, but if she WANTS to stay then it will be coy-flirtation :)
oMg Lewis and dodie together????? What!!!! The 15 year old Laura who was jumping out of her skin when she met Lewis in Melbourne is screaming inside me right now ahhaha
So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely sounds like a rape anthem.
BUT! Let’s look closer! “Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.
See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency. Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.
So it’s not actually a song about rape - in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
This song is rapey? Yikes. No, she keeps saying she'll have another drink, and light another cigarette. It's romance and a little back and forth. Jeez some people take things way to far.
Her drink was definitely not spiked, it probably had pretty much no alcohol in it at all, she was just using that as an excuse to have bomb consensual sex :)
Is it September? Yes. Is it not even Halloween? Absolutely. Am I surrounded by fake cobwebs and spiders and a plastic skeleton? Yep. But, am I still watching? Abso-hecking-lutely.
I've always loved your content. I always wanted to start my own channel for music but I know that I'd probably not get any recognition.. I've taught myself 5 instruments and can sing pretty alright. I just wish I could have someone as amazing as you to help me alone the way! It would be so cool to talk with you and have you as my musical mentor. Anyways, amazing cover! You both sound swell.
I love how candid and improvised this seems even though they probably had to film 30 takes lmao its a great ability to have the endurance to still enjoy it!
FAVORITE COVER ! I love this song sang by you 2 i'm gonna listen this on repeat until February for sure. Yes haha it sounds sooo rapey but still think it's a beautiful song though
Lewis' first gig in Academy 2 in Dublin was the first gig/concert I went to when I was 14, and Dodie's Dublin meetup was the first meet-up I went to and to see you both collab is the loveliest thing and I love you both so much as artists and creative people ahhhh
I've read a number of takes on why this song isn't actually rapey, and I definitely understand the context, etc. But the thing is, you shouldn't need in depth analysis, especially for a song so culturally pervasive, for people to realize it's 'not actually about rape'. I really don't think we should have to justify this song over and over. It needs an update.
I fully agree that it's a beautiful song. So why hasn't anyone updated it so that it has that same playful attitude without the rapey overtones? Any re-writes I've seen have been humorous, which might point out how problematic the song is, but no one else is going to sing those new lyrics. Also, really need to point out that aside from all the rapeyness (ha) this song reuses so many lines and rhymes it makes me cringe almost as much.
Ah so beautiful! I like how you provided a lil analysis at the end; here's another lil snippet of cultural context for that particular line: "'Say, what’s in this drink'” is a well-used phrase that was common in movies of the time period and isn’t really used in the same manner any longer.. It’s a nod to the idea that alcohol is 'making' them do something unusual. But the joke is almost always that there is nothing in the drink. The drink is the excuse." Grabbed that out of an article I read a while back, you can find it if you google the quote. Of course, this is subtext that nowadays would be lost on most of us without doing research, and everyone has had different experiences - for some this song could take on a very negative, triggering connotation. In general, though, I hope no one is offended by it!
How do you set your Zoom H1 to have such great sound, I have been testing out my flatmate's one but it doesn't sound nearly this good. (Also, awesome video, as usual. Your voices sound so good together)
Yeeaaah I really liked this but I feel somebody else would have complimented Dodie's voice better...But I did love this! And Lewis is good don't get me wrong! And merry christmas everyone! x
This is a beautiful cover 😍💕 And I am immediately subscribing to Lewis's channel now ✨ I totally agree with that link about the lyrics; as it's more the Tom Jones Music video, that suggests that the song's linked to rape - Because in my opinion that video is disgusting, in the way that the woman is portrayed (sorry I can't remember her name at the moment) next to him. Especially as on my last day of school we were watching Christmas songs on YouTube in class, so some of the "popular" girls asked for this song and it was the first time I think I've ever watched that video properly; nearly everyone was sat in shock, and silence, I think our teacher nearly changed the song.
Yes, other than the "what's in this drink" line (which, by the way, that tumblr post you linked explains nicely), I've always seen the song as flirty, as in the woman CAN outright say no but is choosing to be flirty and make excuses as to why she SHOULD leave, even though she really doesn't want to. Also this is a beautiful cover <3
I can understand both perspectives when it comes to the lyrics of this song. On one hand, its lyrics can be interpreted as "rapey" and creepy. However (and this is how I personally feel), the song can also be perceived to be flirtatious and coy and wonderfully romantic. I believe the second interpretation is what the lyricists had in mind, but I definitely can see how a "rapey" tone could seem to be present.
I always try to imagine it less as, "you actually drugged me" , and more as "I want to make this drink for myself sometime, how did you make it" it eases the whole roofie implications tbh..
i love how british you sound when you sing (this is a weird comment seeing as i'm british too) (but normally people sound a little american when they sing idk?) (i'm not mad i swear)
I think of it like when you know you should leave because you have to be up early tmrw or have other responsibilities but you really want to stay and keep enjoying the other person. So dodie's part is the one that's like I really want to stay but I "should" go. Lewis's part is more like I know that you're enjoying this as much as I am and you wish you could stay.
I think that's the modern day interpretation of it. Definitely intended to be rapey but I like it bc of the way I hear it.
i've just realised what these lyrics sound like.......i'm not usually a christmas person clearly. dodie and lewis sound swell though! youtuber singer faves x
i read the article you put in the description, but i can't get over the lyric "what's the sense it hurting my pride?" from the man. this implies that she is obligated to stay and it is her duty to please men.
Apparently the "what's in this drink" was a common joke in the 40's meaning that there was practically nothing in the drink and she's just gonna blame it on the alcohol.
Every single year, my ma complains about this song. She just thinks it's annoying. I'm like ma, just change the channel on the radio, it's not that hard.
So not rapey, written in the 40's. It's a dance so she plays coy and hard to get and he chases. Definitely more innocent than people are making it out to be. Since I can remember the line about what's in this drink always made me think it's partially cause she likes it and partially cause she is feeling it as well as the temptation to stay.
When I heard "say what's in this drink," as a kid I thought the woman was just trying to keep the conversation going so she didn't have to say goodbye. I dunno it can be a rapey song if you want it to be but I think it's banter between a couple:]
i agree with what dodie said at the end about how she was flirting at first but then "what's in my drink?" sorta changed things. also she said "the answer is no," yet he still is pressuring her to stay. i feel like this song was like this half was just because women were supposed to have this certain "closet flirtation," and play hard to get, but towards the end when the man is trying to get the woman to stay after she's clearly blatantly said no, that sets off a big red flag for me.
however, the fact that it's so so so catchy makes me so confused because i really want to like it but that aspect of the song doesn't allow me to do so.
What's in this drink would have been perceived as a coy jokey thing to say at the time of the song, giving her another out as to why it's not her fault she was out that late. Yeah it could mean drugs, but also possibly how strong he made the drink, or even just saying she couldn't possibly leave yet because it's just so delicious. It's a rough line, but at the time it would have been another coy joke.
'what's in this drink' is a joke from the '30s, referring to the alcohol-ban during that period. it was a common joke used to 'excuse' your actions, even though the drinks around that time had little to no alcohol in them!
The what's in this drink is just her being like I can't believe I've had this much. I'm a woman. Blah blah blah. I just be modest. Blah blah blah. Not rapey.
Lava Lyra this song isnt rapey the what's in this drink line is because she wants to stay the night but society tells her she shouldn't so she blames the drink
One of my favourite winter songs. Nice to hear it with a British accent!

0 likes"What's in this drink" is an expression even I've used. It's an old one that means "alcohol." In other words, the woman in the song is trying to jokingly blame her feeling tipsy on something outside of her control...as in, "Oh, there's alcohol in this alcoholic drink?"

@Betsy Mills Nope. It was just a saying used during the time. She wants to stay but she is being coy about it.

2 likes@Cassidy I interpreted is as there being nothing in the drink, but she was pretending there was, to explain (to others, and maybe even herself) why she wanted to stay.

0 likeshold up okay so the movie that this is from the woman’s like in her twenties and she lives w her parents because that’s what they did in the 40s (u didn’t move out until you got married),, “what’s in this drink” was a phrase used to imply that her behaviour was because she’d had a bit to drink (alcohol, nothing creepy)!! the whole song’s just about girl who wants to stay but doesn’t want the neighbours to gossip and has to pretend that she doesn’t want to bc that’s what fitted into what was socially acceptable!! v cute song from the 40s!! nothing creepy happening here!!

75 likesI really can't stay (Baby it's cold outside)
I gotta go away (Baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd dropped in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hands they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (Listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (Beautiful please don't hurry)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (I'll put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Baby it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell) (Why thank you)
I ought to say no, no, no sir (Mind if move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (What's the sense of hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (Baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside
Ah, you're very pushy you know?
I like to think of it as opportunistic
I simply must go (Baby it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (How lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Gosh your lips look delicious!)
My brother will be there at the door (Waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Gosh your lips are delicious!)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before) (And I don't even smoke)
I've got to get home (Baby you'll freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat? (It's up to your knees out there!)
You've really been grand, (I feel when I touch your hand)
But don't you see? (How can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Think of my life long sorrow!)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia and died!)
I really can't stay (Get over that old out)
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Okay fine, just another drink then
That took a lot of convincing!

AnymousScreams what in this drink? please explain that line
22 likesTheodore Chandra it's probably implying the drink is mixed a bit strong, I don't think there is any harshness to this song
98 likesTheodore Chandra Actually this entire song makes way more sense when viewed from the mindset of someone from the time!
197 likesWomen, even if they actually wanted to were expected to say no to sexual advanced because they weren't allowed sexual agency. The line "what's in this drink?" was actual a common joke, (like asking someone what's good) that everyone knew was a woman making an excuse as to why she had sex with someone. If you look at the lyrics, it's her commenting that there will be talk tomorrow, because she wants everyone to see her as a proper young lady even if she wasn't in the context of the time period. So that was a little wink at the audience, even though now in our era it sounds a little rapey. (To answer Dodie's question as to her age, it wasn't common for women to leave their homes and strike out on their own like it is now, they lived with their families until they were married and then they lived with their husbands.)
I don't think it's as simple as intent now, people are addressing the implications *now*. It may have been written then, but it's still being sung today.
10 likesAlso, it definitely has a few predatory undertones. (Like the original writing of the song, in which the female was meant to be the "mouse" and the male was meant to be the "wolf". Because that isn't creepy.)
Also also, marital rape wasn't considered to be a "thing" until 1995, roughly 50 years later. There were plenty of rapey marriages going on in the 1940's.
Erynne GriffinI don't see it that way at all. It sounds like a flirtatious banter between two people who clearly want to stay together longer, but the girl is supposed to play coy. If there is any obvious undertones, it's more sexist than rape ones.
90 likesErynne Griffin its not, there's a good explanation and meaning of the song of it too
4 likesexactly! if u look up this song on youtube, one of the videos is from the actual movie. The first part is this version where the woman is trying to leave but then straight after it is the same song but the man is trying to leave. But i am yet to find anyone who has a problem with the 2nd part.
20 likesk but it is
1 like@Paola Gutierrez Yes! Can't say it better than that. Sexist? Yes, but in the 'back in the day expectations' way. Rapey? No.
6 likesTheodore Chandra The saying was used back then that means “oh wow there’s alcohol in this alcoholic drink” and her joking about it being his fault when really it’s not. It’s not a rapey line you gotta think about the context of the time
16 likes@D W I don't even think it's fair to call the song itself sexist either. It's lyrics really only reference social norms at the time which are sexist, but it doesn't promote those ideals. If anything it subverts the sexist standards of the time. I wouldn't say it's a 'feminist' song by any means but it's not sexist really either.

Grace D The song really isn't creepy! Click the description and read whats on the link. It makes complete sense given the time period. She likes this guy and wants to stay the night, but "there will be talk tomorrow." It's crazy how times have changed and quite sad. If this song was to be released today no doubt it'd be suggesting rape culture but not so much in the 40s.
9 likes@Emily Stevens11 I guess it does make sense for the that time period. What sounded the weirdest though was the "Whats in this drink" insinuating he drugged her. But it could just be somethng else given the time period,
4 likes@Grace D I really think it means "is there alcohol in this drink?" Bc if there is she can blame her actions on the alcohol. However back then it would be unlikely there was any alcohol in the drink.

This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out)
But baby, it's cold outside
I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old out)
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside
Ur voice is amazing😍

0 likesoop sorry just saw this now, here is the first verse. before playing any chords, Lewis just plays the notes F and G on the low E string and the open A string, and then he goes on to play the chords. Bbmaj7 (tab, from low E to high E: x1323x), Cmin7(x3534x), Dmin7(x5756x), then some sort of a C#9? (x4x44x), Cmin7, F7 (111211), Cmin7, F7. you play all this twice.

How about tips for song writing? I've tried so hard to turn my feelings into music and for some reason I just can't do it. Also, what goes in to making one of your music videos? Like what's the entire process? It's so fascinating to me for some reason...Anywho, thanks Dodie!!! I love you soooooo much and it would mean the world to me if you replied. You make me smile on even my darkest days. So please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD never stop doing what you do. You make so many, myself included, happy just by sharing your incredible talent with us.

Kim Olyslager Why can't you hear it its not rapey!!!! "say what's in this drink"" is like when you have a really good dish and you're like yum what are the ingredients or te recipe or how did you make this stop looking for things where they are not and "" at least im gonna say that i've tried"" is like oh so my parents dont get mad im gonna say that I tried to go but it was just too cold or too late or something. You people can be as intolerant as you please but stop ruining things just because you're bored.
0 likesEhm, excuse you? Can you please calm down? I am not bored or anything, I just meant it in like a "i head this song 8 times an hour on the radio, so please people stop playing it", not because its a bad song. I just heard it a bit to often.

I am also in love with how Dodie always puts her name last when collabing with people?!!! Anyone else notice that??
I LOVE YOU DODIEEEEE❤️❤️❤️
I love this song, but it's really creepy if you think about it. But Dodie's voice combined with Lewis' voice just make every little thing in my mind disappear.

0 likesEllie Weber In the original movie, the intent of the song wasn't to be rapey. They both loved eachother, the man didn't want his date to get too cold.
3 likesI've been watching a few of your videos and I was thinking that you really remind me of Zooey Deschanel. This has solidified these thoughts! Such a sweet singing voice and you look like her a little bit too. :)

0 likesThat was a really interesting tumblr post! Thanks for sharing. I’ll admit the song still makes me uncomfortable, though, because I can’t fully pull my head out of the 21st century or away from the knowledge that most people singing and listening to this song don’t know the historical context.

0 likesI'm sad I can't download this 😭 but I love this so much!
0 likesHey this song isn't rapey! Like you said she is playing with the social expectations, like when she says she /ought/ to say no. You were pointing out that she mentions the whole family but yeah she doesn't need to be young to be worrying about that. The infamous line about the drink is because she's joking that that could be used as an excuse.

0 likesExcellent performance! I absolutely loved both of their voices. Sad though that from a modern perspective the lyrics seem objectionable but they weren't meant to be when they were written. The original performers would close an evening's festivities with this song signaling the end of the night with the remaining party guests in attendance. This song was never meant to be "rapey"

1 likeI like this cover better than any other. All the others that I have heard seem too jumpy and too loud, but I feel it takes away from the song. This version really portrays the mood of the song because if you were to be staying at someones house overnight when you really shouldn't be its not like you would be singing it at the top of your lungs.

This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out)
But baby, it's cold outside
I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old out)
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside
I see those collabs and i realize i need a girl to listen together. Listening those things alone equals to torture.

1 likeI've got to go away (but baby, it's cold outside)
This evening has been (been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (i'll hold your hands, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (beautiful what's your hurry?)
My father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)
So really I'd better scurry (beautiful please don't hurry)
But maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (baby, it's bad out there)
Say what's in this drink? (no cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (i'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I ought to say, no, no, no sir (mind if I move in closer?)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (what's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)
I really can't stay (oh baby don't hold out)
But baby, it's cold outside
I simply must go (but baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (but baby, it's cold outside)
Your welcome has been(how lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (look out the window at this dawn)
My sister will be suspicious (gosh your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (waves upon the tropical shore)
My maiden aunts mind is vicious (gosh your lips are delicious)
But maybe just a cigarette more (never such a blizzard before)
I've gotta get home(but baby, you'd freeze out there)
Say lend me a coat(it's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (i thrill when you touch my hand)
But don't you see? (how can you do this thing to me?)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (think of my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (if you got pnuemonia and died)
I really can't stay (get over that old out)
Baby, it's cold
Baby, it's cold outside

At least…
The "what's in this drink" line comes from a common joke during that time where ppl (usually women) would say "whats in this drink" as an excuse to act a little silly or otherwise outside of proper social behavior. The joke of it was that their drinks that they were blaming their behavior on contained little to no alcohol

1 likeI agree with the tumblr post that you linked. It's evident that this is the case. You can hear the flotation tone that the girl uses! The language isn't forceful, it is an accurate representation of how women were not supposed to say yes! Ye. If this was written now then I'd be concerned but it was the 1940's! Yeah. (❤️lovely cover)

0 likes"what's in this drink" is actually a stock joke from the 40's. The idea is that she's being coy and trying to blame her sexual agency on her drink but the punch line is that the drink itself isn't even alcoholic so her being promiscuous is just her wanting to, not her being drugged. Essentially she's blaming her sexuality on the drink when it isn't the one to blame because women weren't expected to be promiscuous.

Also, she may have been in her early 20s and still living with her parents. I think that may have been more of a thing back then.

0 likesHere is the tumblr post that she linked in the description:
0 likesHi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s.
So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely sounds like a rape anthem.
BUT! Let’s look closer!
“Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.
See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency.
Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.
So it’s not actually a song about rape - in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
Best explanation of where this song came from I’ve heard, and it illustrates how much things have changed since then.
U know I don't remember this song being so creepy

23 likesBut dear lord stop it with this silliness. This is not a rapey song. It's a man trying to seduce a woman into staying over, and the woman playing it hard to get. "At least I could say that I tried" she wants to stay over but she's worried about what everyone will think. "What's in this drink" just means that his drink is really good and I want more of it. That is all.
Merry Christmas :)

2 likesBeck Styles I don't care about the song or the way people will feel. I care about telling the truth
1 likethe truth: this song was written in the 1940s, when there was a much larger power imbalance between men and women in society.
1 likethe truth: different people are going to feel different ways about this song. it's about a man trying to coax a woman into staying over with him, and it's unclear whether or not she really wants to.
the truth: it was written by a man and illustrates a scenario in which he is able to persuade a dissenting party into doing what he wants. arguably rape-y.
i'm not saying it is definitely a rape-y song, and neither did dodie. she expressed two sides of the speculation surrounding it. but your version of "THE TRUTH" isn't necessarily the only way to think about this song, and i think you're being a bit thickheaded to say that your opinion is the only correct way to think about something. cheers.

0 likesJust gonna clarify, the line "say, what's in this drink?" isn't her asking him "...say, what IS in this drink??" From what I understand, it's meant to be more coupled with the previous line, "the neighbors might think," so like, the neighbors might speculate about what may or may not be in this drink (which, at the time this song was composed, was far less likely than nowadays to be a drug or anything more nefarious than alcohol). SLIGHTLY less rape-y in that interpretation. And yes, I'm fairly sure that in the original context in which this was written, the woman did have to play coy and refuse a man's advances (possibly even a certain number of times) in order to maintain the like... public image of her purity/goodness/whatever (basically so she wasn't perceived as a slut). But again... it's just a product of the (rape) culture in which it was written. In that context, I'm sure it was meant as a flirty give-and-take until she "gives in" (which she clearly wanted to do anyway, but we've got to keep up appearances, dear...) In modern context, hell yeah the lyrics sound gross and creepy - the guy's line especially sounds very very pushy. Which sucks because it's really one of the only good holiday duets, this time of year.

in other news your voices are lovely and you are both adorable and I hate how this song sounds creepy if you actually listen to the words because on the surface it's got such good potential to be either playful or romantic. And honestly this sort of softer, subtler style is what I prefer with this song, because it does feel more genuine and less over-the-top pushy.

1 likeIt's not rapey; it happened a lot that women had to be coy and pretend to put up a fight to appear as if they're not unladylike to their friends and family in the 1940s. The drink probably didn't have alcohol in it, but she might've pretended there was to say that oh, she wasn't completely in her right senses and didn't feel well enough to go back home. Today, women aren't kept back by silly rules like that most of the time, but back then this was a way that women could stay and sleep with a guy and not be shamed for it and no one would suspect that she did that. I've read an analysis by someone who studied the culture from that era for their uni degree and they explained that this was what was very likely happening.

The answer may be love or not, we never know, but I guess I chose the first. Even at that age when society wasn't concerned about feminism I don't think singing about taking advantage of drunk/drugged women was seen as very cool, you know :P
15 likesthank you, i totally agree. people get way too triggered. and they just assume things are always bad, and don't even think about what other possibilities there are.
42 likesat least someone gets it
5 likesEleanor P • that's a good point
4 likesyeah, any time she's saying "i gotta go" it's half-hearted and based off of what OTHER people want her to do. she literally thinks up excuses herself along with the excuses the guy is thinking up for her.
40 likesI think that from a more open view it's actually a cute song. It may sound weird in 2016 but if we think on how people were back then that may be a beautiful dialogue between two people that clearly want to be together despite the social norms.
23 likesthere's just one bit where it's like "hey what's in this drink" ....... :\
7 likesIt's funny how many defenders of the song are here (fans of someone like Dodie no less), where the song includes lyrics like: 'What's in this drink?' and 'The answer is 'No'.' Not to mention the guy saying: 'How can you do this thing to ~me~?'
21 likesI would say that this a good example of why people have to accept that these things are blurry, that the tone and inflection and situation can change the nature of this and that some indiscretions are unfortunate or inexcusable but not necessarily worth demonizing a person.
This song isn't so black and white. A simple change in inflection and song style could easily make this song horrifying. As humans, we just have to accept that things float in the grey area.
@Ryu that is some english essay quality shit right there
5 likes@Molly Mac Yes I already explained what I think about that line but it's just my opinion, of course.
0 likes@Ryu Interesting. Yes I guess a change of tone could make it sound terrible but I don't think is the sense that it originally had.
1 likeAs far as the "What's in this drink?" line goes, that was a stock joke from the time the song was written (the 1940's). The joke is that there's absolutely nothing alcoholic (or very little alcohol, at the least) in the drink - the woman wants to stay, but as the lyrics imply, she's worried about how the neighbors and her family will react. A single woman staying the night with a man would have been scandalous at the time. The man's lyrics provide excuses that will be acceptable to others: it's too cold, there aren't any cabs, etc. Suggesting that she might be drunk is just another one of these excuses.
51 likesThe song only seems creepy now because we've lost the context for it.
eykyra well also the "say what's in this drink"
0 likesChloe Labon • about five people have said that now; y'all can stop repeating it.
4 likesjust read over the comment above yours.
Kathleen Lightfoot Super well-explained. I fully agree :)
4 likesI know, I think people really overthink it
2 likesScarlet McCluskey not really triggered though. maybe "taking things too seriously" would be a much more accurate phrase to describe what you meant ahahaha
0 likeseykyra yeah i think people just think of how creepy it is if it was in the present.
1 likeEleanor P "what's in this drink" was a joke from the era the song was first written I think? they used to act silly and then blame it on something being slipped into their drink, when the drink was really fine and the person would just have been joking
5 likesRyu i agree with you, it's all about how people interpret it and there's no need for us to get angry about how other people see it. its just a song, hopefully nobody will take all the things percieved as negative to heart.
0 likesScarlet McCluskey triggered jokes are not funny jfc. have some human decency.
7 likesAlso the original song didn't have the sheet music as 'Man' and 'Woman. It has 'Wolf' and 'Mouse', so you could quite easily flip the genders, or do whatever the hell you want with them.
4 likesthere's actually another version of the song thats much less rapey than the original: https://www.bustle.com/articles/198408-baby-its-cold-outside-rewritten-by-lydia-liza-josiah-lemanski-transforms-the-holiday-song-into
0 likesthe link on the article isn't available anymore so here's the soundcloud link - https://soundcloud.com/lydia-hoglund/baby-its-cold-outside-lydia-liza-josiah-lemanski :3
1 likeWhen she says "say, what's in this drink?" At the time, that was a common line to say "I really want to, but hmm let's see what excuse I can come up with..."
12 likesThat makes sense. I guess it depends on how the song is sung.
3 likes@Ryu fair and true point.
0 likesYes I agree but also if she intends on leaving (regardless of whether she wants to or not) she should be able to leave without this guy preventing her from doing so.
3 likesKaren O. He's just giving her excuses to stay, not forcing her.
2 likeseykyra CAN YOU STOP
1 likeTamara Williams Wow, no. In fact this is my comment, can YOU stop? I get it, you won't see it the way that I do and that's ok, but neither will I.
0 likesKaren O. That's not what it seems to me. But it's ok, I respect that you have a different view of the song, although I think it's out of context.
0 likesArtistic Author Thanks for the link. The author's opinion is similar to mine, also I read the link ok the description and there's another good explanation there. The point is, music depends a lot on its time, and it can age. Maybe this conversation won't really happen nowadays, but it doesn't mean that we have to see it with the eyes of our time.
0 likesRiley Banks That's a good point you have here. Because I see that most people complain because she's a woman but if the conversation was gender swapped most won't say it's rapey.
1 likei mean the whole drink spiking thing is a bit freaky
1 likehey everyone, she put a link in the description of an English professor explaining why the song is actually not a creep fest and debunks the thoughts about it, I was sceptical at first too.

0 likesI really can't stay - Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to that fire place roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
But maybe just a half a drink more - I'll put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say was that a wink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to get home for dinner - Mind if I move in closer?
So it's time for me to cast you aside - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby, don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
So thanks for the show - But, baby, it's cold outside
The welcome has been - How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips are delicious
But maybe just another dance more - Never such a blizzard before
I've got to get home - Baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me a coat? - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - I thrill when i touch your hand
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life-long sorrow
At least there'll be plenty implied - If you got pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Baby it's cold
Baby it's cold outside
Managed to see Dodie and Lewis in concerts this year - both absolutely rad - but if they had a gig together... wow

0 likesI read a really good explanation of how this song was written at a time when women where not considered sexual beings, and apparently the "what's in this drink"-line was used quite a lot as an excuse for women's behavior, even when there was no alcohol involved... Also all the ways the man tries to "keep her" can be seen as him trying to help her find an excuse to tell her parents, because it was normal for a lot of women to live with their parents until they got married back then

52 likesI think the whole 'rapey' vibes come from the fact she says she wants to go but he takes his own meaning and translates this to either; 1"I want to stay but I'm afraid of what others might think" or 2 "I really want you to convince me, and take charge!"
7 likesEither way it seems like he is thinking "she cant possibly be telling me what she wants directly! I don't trust this person enough for them to truly tell me what they REALLY mean! They must mean yes even when they are saying no!"
Which MIGHT be true the alternative is concerning to say the least! XD
Replies (1)
Marvel Mockingjay you can't gather that just from the lyrics though, like it depends what tone it was said in, her facial expressions etc. Besides the "I wish I knew how to break this spell" suggests she doesn't actually want to leave, she just "should." It's flirtation. The difference between flirty and creepy is solely based on whether you're into that person or not
0 likesthis song is definitely not rapey. as you said, i believe she's being coy, and acting hard-to-get, saying she must go but really looking for a reason to stay. she is just worried what other people would think of her staying with the guy. in the time period and context that the song was written, it probably didn't have anything to do with rape, even though the lyrics, put into our time, are a bit creepy. of course, you shouldn't REALLY compare the lyrics to today's culture, since they're in two completely different times.

3 likes""say what's in this drink"" is like when you have a really good dish and you're like yum what are the ingredients or te recipe or how did you make this stop looking for things where they are not and "" at least im gonna say that i've tried"" is like oh so my parents dont get mad im gonna say that I tried to go but it was just too cold or too late or something. You people can be as intolerant as you please but stop ruining things just because you're bored.

Oh, that makes sense! I'm pretty sure that I heard from somewhere else that way back in the day, when this song was released, "Say, what's in this drink?" Was a common joke that women would make! It was usually said when she was drinking something that obviously wasn't alcoholic, or something extremely mild, and the irony was the joke!

She's probably joking about the fact that he put booze in it xD
3 likesOh sorry lmao i didn't realize!
0 likesAnyone else in 2018?
6 likesthe what's in this drink refers to the fact that the song was written in the 20s during prohibition and alcohol was illegal and therefore she's suspicious at the fact that he has illegal liquor on him. Not so much the idea that he roofied her or anything I don't think?

9 likesI never thought about this as a rapey song until i read the comments on this video. It's clear she wants to stay but isn't allowed. You guys are sick...
1 likeoh come on it's not rapey! it actually is a witty social commentary on women's status in the '40s. where women lived with their parents until marriage (so she could have been, for example, 25) and when she says "what's in this drink" it means that it's strong, it's an expression used by many as a compliment. you have to contextualise it, and not look at it with a 2016 mentality.

Not to say the video wasn't good, you're both great singers but... eww
6 likes+Ivan.W there's a link in the description that explains how its actually not
7 likesEleanor the koala Well, it explains how it wasn't in the 40's but listening to the lyrics today it sounds creepy, so even if it wasn't intentional it's still kinda rapey today.
2 likes+Ivan.W I personally think all creations (for want of a better word) need to be considered in both the contexts they were made in and the context they are being performed in. for me lyrics like these are okay once you know what they're actually saying because it actually the girl being like " I shouldn't want to be here but I do so I'll blame the snow"

1 likeLEWIS OMFG
1 likeWhen in rape cases women are often blamed for their alcohol consumption (e.g Stanford rape case) I think there is a problem with the supposed light hearted joke. If you're worried about the connotations of the lyrics leave it altogether because frankly, the uncomfortable meaning will end up remaining regardless of your "witty" analysis.

0 likesThe line most people have the most issue with is the "what's in this drink" but that was actually a pretty common joke in the 40's, like kinda an excuse for doing something 'untowards' or socially unacceptable like contextually in the 21st cent. it sounds pretty date rapey and gross but in the 40's it didn't really have those connotations. Basically I think this song was meant to be cute and romantic and I've decided to love it again. (Also @dodie in terms of her parents being there, well she wouldn't have lived away from her parents until after she was married so this too is a-ok not as creepy as it seems) Hope this clears some things up bc it's a fun catchy song :))

2 likesReading all the stoooopid people moaning over this song being rapey, makes me sad. It's amazing how some parts of the current generation think they have the patent on interpretation, thinking they can take control of what is allowed to be said or in this case sung. Completely, and on purpose, ignoring the actual message and substituting it with the one you make up, and in most cases attacking the messenger for being of the state of mind you've dreamt up, is such a spoiled and respectless way of thinking. ..and sadly more and more people tend to let these whiners control their actions, because they're afraid of the shitstorm. Such a bad direction to be going. Luckily i also see lots of sensible people, who have bother5ed to look into the actual meaning of things, now raise their voices. I think more people are tired of the tyranny and lack of reason and truthfulness. There is still hope that SJWs and other scum like that wont win in the end.

0 likesIt's not rapey. The mother and father bits are from a time that a woman would go from living with her parents to living with her husband with no in between.
0 likesThe woman is pretending to be coy. The bit about the drink is more a reference to alcohol and not roofies.
Things can be of their times and not be problematic.
I will often jokingly say "are you trying to get me drunk and have your way with me" to my husband when he hands me a drink of any kind. It is in no way serious or a rape joke.

0 likesApparently it was really normal for women to not drink at all in the time it was written, and saying "Say, what's in this drink!" was a way of excusing their 'less coy behavior' or something. So like they're pretending it's the drink when they're just doing what they want to do :p it was a strange time.
0 likesWhy is this in my recommendations? It’s July almost 4 years later jajajajaja
0 likesI don't THINK it's a rapey song. You can hear a tone in it where the woman is just being coy and doing something she wants to but knows she shouldn't. As for the 'what's in this drink' line, it really sounds like a joke, (a now problematic joke in poor taste perhaps, but a joke none the less) about how she wants to stay but shouldn't stay so something else must be making her. Anyways, a beautiful cover!!!

0 likesI personally don't see this as rapey at all. It's about a gentleman graciously asking a woman to stay. At no point does he force her or make her do anything against her will. All he is saying is how much he wants her not to go, it's romance not rape. He clearly likes her a lot and is trying to pursuance her, there's nothing wrong with that. Peoples minds can change.
2 likesHe says "mind if I move in closer" he clearly asks for consent.
The points you bought up about age and mentioning her parents seem silly. Most people over the age of 21 still have both parents alive so I don't see how this is relevant. Parents will worry about their children regardless of age. I know many parents who still wait up for their children even though they are around 19-20 years old.
Secondly you mentioned the line "what's in this drink" I take your point this ones meaning is more spurious as we do not know the full context. However, I've always assumed it was made in a joking context. She clearly can see how much this man is interested in her and, in my opinion, is joking with him about putting something in her drink to make her stay. That's my interpretation although I do agree that in a certain context this line could be worrying however I find it unlikely that a songwriter would write a love song about a man drugging a woman. Hardly romantic.
I love this song, I find it truly shows a deep passion and I think you're looking a lot more into it than is really there
this version is making me actually this song good job

0 likesI always thought the "what's in this drink" was more of a "hey this drink is delicious, what is it?" Never really thought about it being creepy til later in life.
0 likesI guess I've always interpreted it as a coy thing from the lyrics. She wants to stay, but she's worried about the massive social fallout the next day. Regarding the "say, what's in this drink?" line, as well as others, I've wondered if it isn't her getting her stories straight for the following day..."I think there might have been something in the drink I had." Of course, all of this may be incorrect. Who knows? Some interesting points either way, and maybe that's the point. What really happened remains in question. In any event, I'd love to see a role reversal version of this song, with the woman flat out getting "rapey" on the man. In a good natured way, of course. And as an old friend once said, "You can't rape the willing." Lol!

Don't say no, don't say no, don't say no, you don't know how he'll react.

0 likesThis is what the tumblr post says:
1 likeSo. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely sounds like a rape anthem.
BUT! Let’s look closer!
“Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.
See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency.
Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.
So it’s not actually a song about rape - in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
I hate this song so much but your voice is so nice that I had to watch

It would be so cool to talk with you and have you as my musical mentor. Anyways, amazing cover! You both sound swell.

0 likesI've read a number of takes on why this song isn't actually rapey, and I definitely understand the context, etc. But the thing is, you shouldn't need in depth analysis, especially for a song so culturally pervasive, for people to realize it's 'not actually about rape'. I really don't think we should have to justify this song over and over. It needs an update.
2 likesI fully agree that it's a beautiful song. So why hasn't anyone updated it so that it has that same playful attitude without the rapey overtones? Any re-writes I've seen have been humorous, which might point out how problematic the song is, but no one else is going to sing those new lyrics. Also, really need to point out that aside from all the rapeyness (ha) this song reuses so many lines and rhymes it makes me cringe almost as much.
Ah so beautiful! I like how you provided a lil analysis at the end; here's another lil snippet of cultural context for that particular line: "'Say, what’s in this drink'” is a well-used phrase that was common in movies of the time period and isn’t really used in the same manner any longer.. It’s a nod to the idea that alcohol is 'making' them do something unusual. But the joke is almost always that there is nothing in the drink. The drink is the excuse." Grabbed that out of an article I read a while back, you can find it if you google the quote. Of course, this is subtext that nowadays would be lost on most of us without doing research, and everyone has had different experiences - for some this song could take on a very negative, triggering connotation. In general, though, I hope no one is offended by it!

0 likesThis is a beautiful cover 😍💕 And I am immediately subscribing to Lewis's channel now ✨
0 likesI totally agree with that link about the lyrics; as it's more the Tom Jones Music video, that suggests that the song's linked to rape - Because in my opinion that video is disgusting, in the way that the woman is portrayed (sorry I can't remember her name at the moment) next to him. Especially as on my last day of school we were watching Christmas songs on YouTube in class, so some of the "popular" girls asked for this song and it was the first time I think I've ever watched that video properly; nearly everyone was sat in shock, and silence, I think our teacher nearly changed the song.

1 likeI NEVER KNEW THAT I WANTED THIS COLLABORATION SO BADLY BUT IM SO HAPPY SKAJKDKS
0 likesYes, other than the "what's in this drink" line (which, by the way, that tumblr post you linked explains nicely), I've always seen the song as flirty, as in the woman CAN outright say no but is choosing to be flirty and make excuses as to why she SHOULD leave, even though she really doesn't want to. Also this is a beautiful cover <3
0 likesI can understand both perspectives when it comes to the lyrics of this song. On one hand, its lyrics can be interpreted as "rapey" and creepy. However (and this is how I personally feel), the song can also be perceived to be flirtatious and coy and wonderfully romantic. I believe the second interpretation is what the lyricists had in mind, but I definitely can see how a "rapey" tone could seem to be present.

0 likesBUTIFULL!! Also, good of you to comment on the rapiness it always bugged me 👍
0 likesi love how british you sound when you sing (this is a weird comment seeing as i'm british too) (but normally people sound a little american when they sing idk?) (i'm not mad i swear)
0 likesI think of it like when you know you should leave because you have to be up early tmrw or have other responsibilities but you really want to stay and keep enjoying the other person. So dodie's part is the one that's like I really want to stay but I "should" go.
0 likesLewis's part is more like I know that you're enjoying this as much as I am and you wish you could stay.
I think that's the modern day interpretation of it. Definitely intended to be rapey but I like it bc of the way I hear it.
This song made me realize your singing voice reminds me of the chick from elf.
0 likesLewis was in my school a few years above me, never spoke to him or anything but it's cool to see this now

0 likesApparently the "what's in this drink" was a common joke in the 40's meaning that there was practically nothing in the drink and she's just gonna blame it on the alcohol.
0 likesDODIE YOU ARE SO LUCKY I WOULD DIEEEEEEEEEEE
0 likes(also u look really cute in your glasses :3 )
Every single year, my ma complains about this song. She just thinks it's annoying. I'm like ma, just change the channel on the radio, it's not that hard.
2 likesSo not rapey, written in the 40's. It's a dance so she plays coy and hard to get and he chases. Definitely more innocent than people are making it out to be. Since I can remember the line about what's in this drink always made me think it's partially cause she likes it and partially cause she is feeling it as well as the temptation to stay.
0 likesthis is fucking perfect
0 likes❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
0 likesWhen I heard "say what's in this drink," as a kid I thought the woman was just trying to keep the conversation going so she didn't have to say goodbye. I dunno it can be a rapey song if you want it to be but I think it's banter between a couple:]

0 likesMY FAVOURITE
aww you look so cute in this video :3 <3
0 likesi agree with what dodie said at the end about how she was flirting at first but then "what's in my drink?" sorta changed things. also she said "the answer is no," yet he still is pressuring her to stay. i feel like this song was like this half was just because women were supposed to have this certain "closet flirtation," and play hard to get, but towards the end when the man is trying to get the woman to stay after she's clearly blatantly said no, that sets off a big red flag for me.
0 likeshowever, the fact that it's so so so catchy makes me so confused because i really want to like it but that aspect of the song doesn't allow me to do so.
You should do a collab with dan and Phil!!

0 likesWhat's in this drink would have been perceived as a coy jokey thing to say at the time of the song, giving her another out as to why it's not her fault she was out that late. Yeah it could mean drugs, but also possibly how strong he made the drink, or even just saying she couldn't possibly leave yet because it's just so delicious. It's a rough line, but at the time it would have been another coy joke.
