rip if anyone reading this can please tell me where to find the guitar tab for this i will owe you my life thanks

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


HOLY SHIT BALLS SINCE WHEN DID YOU TWO KNOW EACHOTHER AHHHHHH


"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.


LEWIS WATSON I'M SCREAMING dodiedooh u little superstar


Coming back to this again this year woohoo

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 love this song but it gives me date-rapey vibes


Pls do a cover of oh ms believer my tøp its my favorite song😁


This is a year old today!! Happy birthday video


Great cover!

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.

Merry Christmas :)

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.

Beck Styles I don't care about the song or the way people will feel. I care about telling the truth

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.

Maisy Sinclair it's a sexy song. he's trying to seduce her. I think putting a negative stigma on things that are natural is silly

Kostas1601 no, no, it is a bit problematic, but anyways they're just being silly. It's a beautiful Christmas song.

Kostas1601 he does try to manipulate her though so...


why am i listening to this in august lol (never to early for christmas spirit amiright)


I'm glad to see that seasonal musical date rape is still running strong.

tooo, Manager Josh Is waiting for Me, Birds chirping,MEET ME DODIE AT CHRISTMAS.


Im trying to figure out what key this is in, pls help


1:51 when I ask my mum if I can get another animal


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.


I'm freaking out. Why am I only now seeing this!


he looks like marcus butler from a few years ago haha


It’s October 2017, I bloody love chrimbo


Dodie is so pretty and her voice is so beautiful and I am so gay


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.


ehmm this did not come out in 2016 what the hell. I genuinely thought it came out in like 2018 or something !


I hate Christmas but you make it so much better


it's not even christmas why am i listening to this


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


To me, this is such a date-rape song.😂😂😂


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.


I can't listen to this without thinking of elf


<b>likes the video after you sing the first note</b>

*likes the video after you sing the first note*


~i really can't stay
~baby it's cold outside
~what the fuck did i just say? :)


“What’s in this drink” used to be a common idiom for blaming one’s behaviour in alcohol, not a way of saying “have you just spiked me?”


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.


only now i noticed that dodie sings with a gum in her mouth.


I ship it.Luv u Dodie he's the best, unless u count Dan.


Was kinda hoping for the red dwarf theme...


Who's listening this in August, when it's literally like 100 degrees outside :)))

somebody please help i really wanna learn this version of the song but i can't find ANYTHING. if somebody could help me out that'd be great!!


This song is ruined for me bc of that vine. I need to stop watching vine compilations.


I think I'm the only one that thinks of Zooey Deschanel.


Do you think I could use this for a video or would it be copyright? I would 100% give credit!! PLZ HELP?!


Legit cannot believe this was 2016 what the living heck


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".

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.

i mean the whole drink spiking thing is a bit freaky

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.

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.

Karen 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.

Tamara 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.

Karen O. He's just giving her excuses to stay, not forcing her.

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.

That makes sense. I guess it depends on how the song is sung.

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..."

the 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

there'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

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.

Scarlet McCluskey triggered jokes are not funny jfc. have some human decency.

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.

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

eykyra yeah i think people just think of how creepy it is if it was in the present.

Scarlet McCluskey not really triggered though. maybe "taking things too seriously" would be a much more accurate phrase to describe what you meant ahahaha

I know, I think people really overthink it

I know, I think people really overthink it

Kathleen Lightfoot Super well-explained. I fully agree :)

Chloe Labon • about five people have said that now; y'all can stop repeating it.

just read over the comment above yours.

eykyra well also the "say what's in this drink"

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.

@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.

@Molly Mac Yes I already explained what I think about that line but it's just my opinion, of course.

@Ryu that is some english essay quality shit right there

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.

there's just one bit where it's like "hey what's in this drink" ....... :\

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.

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.

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.

@***** 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


dodie didn't clap in this i am DISTRAUGHT


“If you got pneumonia and died” lmao what? Is that a threat?!


dodie your voice sounds so good here omggggg

Jailyn Marshall her vibrato is really nice in this song

I thought the same thing !! It's good all the time but there's something about this

Jailyn Marshall I think it's... Crisper? Does that make sense?

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)

i mean like it's very soothing. literally you're such a good singer pls dont think it's just in this one 😅

I don't know why but watching this makes me sad?


guys did anyone else just look at doddies  face?


November 2017 anyone- i cant wait for Christmas!!!


Maybe the "spell" was in the drink? Just a thought to make it sound less rapey 😂


While I think it’s still rapey I do think she’s over 18 and living her parents was normal as people didn’t move out before they were married


How are you so talented! Seriously, I can't even comprehend how amazing your voice is😍 KEEP SINGING!! love you 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!


God bless!  I love Lewis Watson's music and you two sound so great together!!  Happy holidays xx


love love love the piano and different parts, you are so incredibly talented


This is just so lovely watching over and over again ❤


MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. lovely cover! it's so soothing, wowie.


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.


UGH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL DODIE! MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS 🎄🎅


This is really beautiful. :)<br>Merry Christmas BACK!

This is really beautiful. :)
Merry Christmas BACK!


This is so pretty! it brings such a festive vibe -- awwwww!!


nothing makes me happier than listening to dodie❤ she's so beautiful and talented; makes me emotional how good she is❤❤


OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'VE LOVED BOTH OF YOU SEPERATELY FOR SO LONG I NEVER IMAGINED THIS I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THANK YOU❤


I love it! Your voices sound so sweet together 😍😍😍


Omg this is so perfect ur voices go so well together


this is so beautiful! it's so cute and you two sound soooo good together


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


Good to hear Lewis Watson! Nice duet!!! A vlogger staying true to their music and no just doing random chatting about themselves!


My little bisexual heart is so overwhelmed right now. You two sing so well, and it just works together, and you are both so attractive. 😍


I've been wishing for Dodie to do this song for years ;)


This is the only version of this song I've ever liked. This is so lovely <3


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!


Wow your voice is so sweet and smooth! You have a new fan!


I love you, Dodie <3 thank you for being you :*


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 channel. So creative with every new video :) <3


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.<br>Regarding the gender roles, I like how Lady Gaga and JGL sang it, with the roles reversed :)

You have a right to be smug - this is perfection!


This is literally so charming I love it so much


Coming back to listen to it cause it's so good!


Omg my 2 favourite people in one video singing a beautiful song


я была в наушниках с самого начала, и потом когда Дуди сказала "Hi!" это было настолько громко в наушниках, что я чуть не умерла, божечки


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

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


I sung this with my sister on the radio :)

(We missed out the "gosh your lips look delicious" verse though hahah)


any other songs like this? this is so awesome


OH MY GOD MY TWO FAVORITE SINGERS I'M DYING I never ever expected this holy wow


I AM LITERALLY CRYING LEWIS IS MY FAVOURITE ARTIST AND YOU ARE TOO AND THIS IS A BLESSING AAAAGH


yes!! My two favourites <3 this is amazing


I only noticed at the end when he clapped but Lewis LITERALLY has Hedi's face ... Who agrees?!


... 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!


IM CRYING. SO MUCH. i cant believe im actually seeing u sing with lewis watson im so EMO he's my fave ever what a sweet lil angel


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 :)


im about to play it again then it played on the radio ! wow !!!!


NEED TO KNOW THE FUCKING CHORDS RIGHT NOW


listened to this on repeat in the bath. best atmosphere ever


DODIE AND LEWIS IN ONE VIDEO?? WHAT IS THIS?? MY EARS FEEL SO NICE


I'm rlly lovin all this Christmas spirit dodie


Aw dodie you are the cutest, you guys did a great job


i'm only in 20 seconds and it's already perfect, damn I love this


I don't usually comment on videos, but GAHHHH, i love it. I'm in love with everything


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


THIS IS SO CUTE AND LOVELY YES I AM SCREAMING

i hate this song bc i find it rather creepy but i reeeaaallllly love this cover


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


ERMERGERD DODIE THIS IS SO PERFECT.. 💘💘💘


OKAY FRICK i dont know how i havent seen this till now but its literally two of my fave musicians i loved this smmmm aah


I need the notes for dodie's piano bit rn

AYEE MY FAVORITE SINGERRR THIS IS AMAZING 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜💜💜🖤💜💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤


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.


Does anyone know what camera Dodie uses?  I would be so happy to know!


DUDE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. like i've been a fan of Dodie for two years now and i'm so fUcking in love with you oh my god marry me pls.


I didn't even notice the piano before you turned to the side and suddenly 'ope, there's Dodie playing the piano'.

Eleanor Serviss does anyone know the notes she played ??


This is the cross over I didn't know I needed


this guy is so perfect I need him
"gosh your lips are delicious"
AHHHHHH


Honestly, what is the point of disliking the video?


omg!!  It's Lewis! I love him sooo much!

omg!!  It's Lewis! I love him sooo much!


omg i love you both huhu :(( you're both beautiful <b>kisses u both</b>

omg i love you both huhu :(( you're both beautiful *kisses u both*


So glad someone finally agrees that this wonderful Christmas song is quite rapey!


Dodie I am getting a ukulele for Christmas do you play the Soprano or the Concert size..thanks love your voice


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 <b>40s</b>) 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.

okay this is my new favorite video. BUT I THOUGHT THIS SONG WAS CREEPY TOO. THANK YOU. But please marry me


This is such a creepy song yet its so charming and cute aaahh


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


HOLY SHIT THIS IS HOW HEAVEN LOOKS LIKEEEEEEEEEEE LEWISSSASSSSSSS AND DODIEEEEHHDHWJSHEJWHDIEVD


This would be so much better with jon cozart who's with me


Gettin chills when Lewis sings the line about lips lol 2:17

Oooommmmg I'm not the only one ahhhh Fam


"what's in this drink' is what makes it for me, totally rapey (just saying)

The line "what's in this drink" is implying that it's a weak drink the link in the description goes into further detail though


plz do a cover with Dan Howell PLZ!!!!!!!!

he plays piano, i think that's what they meant. also, don't call someone an obsessed fan, your coming off a bit rude m8.

Willow Mae maybe because he plays the piano, I’ve never seen him sing though

that doesn’t even make sense ur an obsessed fan who thinks they’re both british and should sing together


+Heart Eyes Howell How do you know that this person ships them with everyone else though? Just a question.

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.

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


Woah the voice and the glasses... I thought you were Haley Blais


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.


NOTIFICATION  SQUAD OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! !!!!!1!11!!11! !11! 111! 1!!!!!! (that was ironic) BUT ILY


i’m so sorry for watching this in October...


omg is this real<br>the dodie clark and levvis watson

omg is this real
the dodie clark and levvis watson


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?


Wonderful! I'm early, can I get a reply?


Stop ruining this warm christmassy vibe with your dirty minds.


My brother told me this is about a rapist. 15 year olds are great.


While I hate this song due to the rape theme, I still love dodie so I'll put up with 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.

She's probably joking about the fact that he put booze in it xD

Good explanation of this song: https://imgur.com/gallery/aEXis
Good explanation of this song: https://imgur.com/gallery/aEXis

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?


jacksfilms' version is better, so romantic


hey! could you give a shoutout to my sister Jacquie...she's been subscribed to you for three years!! Happy Christmas :)


uhhhhh this song is illegal

this is a joke please don't yell at me

uhhhhh this song is illegal

-this is a joke please don't yell at me-


date rape is a rather strange thing to sing about over Christmas :/


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.

:) (also obviously your cover was gorgeous. your style makes it feel very intimate, which i think adds to the romanticism)


at the very end of the song she started sounding the lead singer of the cranberries fUcK mE uP


why is Dodie singing with old Jack Frost


+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"

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 there's a link in the description that explains how its actually not

Not to say the video wasn't good, you're both great singers but... eww


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.


WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I OUGHT TO SAY YES YES I REALLY CAN STAY CUZ BABY YOURRR VIDDS AREE WOOOWEEE


I'm not saying that Lewis is a bad singer, but personally, I don't feel like his voice compliments Dodie's all that much.


marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me marry me


This was incredible! Already listened to it so many times!! Beautiful!


Best version of this song ever! Your voice is beautiful Dodie! <3


beautiful, beautiful <3 Both of your voices  are ideal for this piece! Would love to hear, 'Christmas Time is Here' !


Your voices go so well together, this is wonderful <3


This is my favorite thing rn!!!! Your voices really compliment each other's


Great song that's beautiful regardless of the lyrics done amazingly 😊


such a lovely rendition of one of my fave holiday songs!


I've been waiting for you to cover this as I knew it would suit your voice so well!! I love this!!


LOVE THIS ! Well done dodge and mr. pretty guy who ill definitely follow.. such wonderful vocals xx


That's one of my favourite Christmas songs and you guys did it justice!


your voices fit so well with this song, truly beautiful


I love this song and you two sing it so well!!! :)


dodie im so proud of how you're growing i love this so much


thank for making my warm Christmas (I live in Brazil) a little cozier. this was lovely <3


I literally did this song last night and came home to see this in my subscription feed! Lovely stuff Dodie and Lewis!


You guys sound so good together! Please do another song together. And Merry Christmas!


Can't help but feel like dodie voice was made for this, it's my favourite Christmas song and it just suits her voice so well 😍


This is so beautiful, wow. I prefer this to the original. Amazing.


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


This video is so addictive and dodie your voice sounds exceptional here!


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.


dodie your voice is so well suited for this song, love you both


I have already watched this video 7 times since it was uploaded. it's so beautiful💙💙💙💙💙


Lewis Watson was my first concert (a couple of years ago), so glad this collab happened woop!!


This is great! I'd love a cover of Rotterdam by The Beautiful South


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!!


you both are two very underrated artists that deserve a lot of more recognition. but i am so glad you decided to do something together!!!


2 great singers...a collab I never expected


YESSSSSS MY BABIES MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER <4


This is just beautiful😍 Good job guys waiting for the nxt colab


This is all I've ever wanted and needed in life 🙈❤


can i just have this sung to me every night. every day. 24/7.


Maaaaaaaaaate, feel like I've waited my ENTIRE life for this collab. Merry Christmas to meh! Xx


I've only just found your channel today but I'm already in love with you ❤❤


Liked the video before even watching I love Lewis and a video with Dodie is like a dream ❤

This makes me so so happy :> CHRISTMAS FEELS INTENSIFIED


dodie and lewis are both so beautiful i am in love with this and also them


two of the cutest, loveliest people. My heart is full x


ugh i love this cover so muchhhhh

im trying to play it on guitar if anyones got the tab for me! :)


dammit I've been listening to lewis for a full week straight and now he is singing with freaking DODIE. I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS


I've been waiting for this duet like all my life


omg thanks so much for the lyrics explanation in the description i have a new perspective :)))) love the cover too much x


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


I LOOOOOVEEEE THIS and the  song isnt even done yet 😂


For the time period, I think that was fine??? Anyways this is so lovely and calming = v =


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


If you could do a cover of What Are You Doing New Years Eve next week that'd be grand xoxo


dodie giving her little smirk while playing the piano is my aesthetic


I've always said this is the creepiest christmas song ever! Especially cerys matthews and tom jones' version!!


I needed this so much, now I feel christmassy


Dodie is an actual angel just look at her


I have never seen Lewis before but he looks so soft and gentle I love it


A couple of years ago, my brother used to love 'Stay' by Lewis and I kinda freaked out when I saw this ><''''


IM CRYING, THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER


i love that her outro tune fits into intertwined


both of u are insanely on key in this and it's seriously fucking with my head


MY TWO FAVOURITE PPL COLLABING HOLY SHITE IM FANGIRLING NOW I HAD NO IDEA THEY KNEW EACH OTHER


Lewi? And Dodie? God this collaboration was made in heaven.


OH MY GOSH MY DREAM DUO THAT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WAS MY DREAM DUO BUT!!!  U TWO !!!  I CANT!!


After watching the outtakes I now get why she was so smug 😂💓


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


geez, hes so attractive and his voice is so hypnotizing


i have murdered the replay button. btw <br>lewis' voice is so sexy, im inlove with everything dodie sings urghhhhh

i have murdered the replay button. btw
lewis' voice is so sexy, im inlove with everything dodie sings urghhhhh


I TOLD HER TO DO THIS ON TWITTER IM SO HAPPY


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"


lol I've always disliked this song, and Christmas isn't really a happy occasion this year for me, but this made me smile :)


Why does a ton of people hate this song it's one of my favourites


I AM IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THIS MY ACTUAL DREAM IM SCREAMING


DODIE. Dodie. This. Is. everything. I. Need. Thank. You so much OMG I lOVe It woAH


ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? OMG LEWIS IS SUCH A GOD


ive never hated this song this less before wow tis bootiful


I'm so happy you collabed with my bae lewis :')


I'm so glad that it had the end bit! haha


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.


guys, read the link in the description, it makes the song a bit nicer to listen to


I may have a crush on Lewis... and I usually don't get crushes... my heart!


U look so christmasy Doddie XD, so much fun watching u XD


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


I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I CANT GET DNOUOF IT GH


IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS SONG HAD A REALLY RAPEY VIBE


"If you got pneumonia and died" ! lol I never took in that line before


please do a cover of going to be wonderful by tom rosenthal


I would agree with the 40s thing except for the line of "the answer is no" because of how blatantly no it is


Where's your jumper from Dodie?! It's amazing! ^_^


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.


this is almost as good as the jacksfilms version


AHH TERRIFYING SONG BUT IT SOUNDED SO GOOOODDD


"say what's in this drink" dodie's face just goes "aheeehHa oooo yeesh"


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 :))


No we wanted Thomas sanders but his is still just as beautiful xx


dodies christmas music is the only christmas music that matters


Glad you both noticed that the song is a little too pushy lyrically ahah


Neptune's Daughter. Go watch it, everyone!


WHY IS NO ONE SCREAMING!! ITS CHRISTMAS ON SUNDAYY!!! Omg omgggg


Does anyone know what kind of microphone she uses?


I have watched you both for so long and aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh


I guess it's not jazz without the smug face


My favourite thing is Thomas's vine "I'm gay and you'll die outside!"


Written in the 40's. That tumblr post is really informative it still sounds creepy to me though


You guys sound really good together :-)

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.


"my father will be pissing the floor..."


ahh i wish that was thomas sanders singing with you instead


I can't see his hands, anyone has any tabs?


when i got the notif for this i screamed


I just realised when I rewatch Love, Rosie, doddie looks like rosie


his hair looks like bokuto's except the spikes


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. 😂😂


The song is super catchy but it also has date rape-y undertones, so I don't know how to feel about it.

Explanation of this song: https://imgur.com/gallery/aEXis


These song lyrics are so dodge haha no means no people


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.


"my father will be pissing the floor" 0:34


The  joke is that there's nothing in her drink.


Not rapey, she wants to stay but is having trouble fighting the social ramifications.


'if you get pneumonia and die'
am i the only one who cried?
twist and shout... anyone???


i can't help thinking this song has a little rapey feel, is it only me?


I FUCKING HATE THIS SONG BC IT’S SO CREEPY BUT Y’ALL MADE ME LIKE IT


I actually almost cried from how pure this was


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 💕

Christmas music and Dodie= the coziest feeling in the world.  I absolutely loved this Dodie❤


It is a questionable song... but you two sounded so astoundingly beautiful singing it!!


they both have beautiful voices but Lewis's talking voice is so calming like w o w


No one seems to be commenting about Lewis so I just want to say that I love him and I am so overwhelmingly happy this duo is happening


You are so cute! I've only just started following you and I'm in love with your voice.


i know the songs a bit offensive but I personally think this is my new favourite song sang by Dodie and now I'm extra excited for Christmas


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!!

"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.<br>I just got into Dodie and this is my favorite Christmas song so this is perfect!

"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!


Liked it before it started bc dodie and Lewis both singing in one I already know would be great!!!!


my 2 favorite singer/songwriters in 1 vid this is too much


Dodie keeps dancing when he sings during the first half!! :) lol


I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH ID ENJOY THIS VIDEO IN MY LIFE. IVE BEEN CHANGED FIREVER.


Dodie's face after "Say, what's in this drink?" 😂


This guy's singing is putting my heart in a cosy blanket burrito. Excuse me while I pop to itunes...


Okay but the way he sang the bits about your lips being delicious was so cute and just omg idk it killed me


LEWIS WATSON. He's my favorite. No joke. This was lovely. You're lovely, he's lovely. This was lovely. I want this forever.


Hearing Lewis Watson say "Gosh your lips look delicious" is all I need. Merry Christmas to meeeeee


What sort of mic does she use?? This was so good ☺ xx


My fav song and fav person. Love this so much


Are you KIDDING u are my fav and just met my other fav and you're singing together and I'm so excited


I just realised dodie has over 1 million views on some videos she is growing so much oh gosh


(Even if the song isn't reallly pretty haha)


YAY YES dodie + lewis ugh my heart is full


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💕


Dodie always makes faces while she sings now lol


OMG i honestly smiled all the way through this video
yes, kind of rapey
still classic
still xmas must have
best thing i've saw today


Imagine that Jon suddenly breaks down the door and said "Dude, just let her go home"


this is fucking cute. their voices are so perfect and then the little piano bit


dodie is so cute idk i just want to give her a giant teddy bear


AHHH DODIE LOOKS SO CUTE AT 1:37 IM CRYING


I can't believe you did a cover with Lewis omfghsjfviensj ahhhhhhh 😻😭


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


I'm sure this has been answered a thousand times by now, but does anyone know which specific mic she uses?


this is my favourite thing in the whole world


Only 200,000 more till 1,000,000🤣 so proud of you dodie😍😘


Can you do a hair care routeen on doddlevloggle or this channel? I love your hair and I can just never get mine to be puffy like yours!


OMG at first I thought your mic was a part of your sweater. LMAO


MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE WTF THIS IS THE BEST THING TO WAKE UP TO


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!!


Say what's in this drink?<br>ITS APPLE JUICE I SWEAR

Say what's in this drink?
ITS APPLE JUICE I SWEAR


OMGGGG I LOVE LEWIS WATSON! AND U! OMGGG YOU GUYS ARE SO AAAAHH


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.


damn wish she did this with thomas or jon


a better version:

"i really can't stay"
"ok see ya"


Literally the whole song I was thinking the exact same thing that you guys were saying at the end lol. Like what's even happening in there?? Like?!?!


Glee made me fall in love with this song lol


does anyone know where dodie got her snazzy glasses?


So I'm thinking what if Dodie's fans (us of course Lol) were called Doddles ??


The what's in this drink part means that she's asking how the drink was made such as the ingredients. The girl is trying to prolong her time there


This song, in my family, is called 'The Christmas Date Rape Song'


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


I like his last name 😂 because it's my last name


It’s a song about holding someone against their will in order to persuade them to sexual intercourse...


thanks for acknowledging the creepiness lol yay


Who tf is this dude u need to be singing this song with John like da fuq 😂. I'm kidding but like u guys r so fucking cute


Literally only know the words to this because of will Ferrell in Elf


i hate that u turned such a terrible meme into a wonderful cover


i was about to suggest this song and this is what i find....


I hate Christmas music, especially this song, but you made it better with your voices.


Wish you did the new, pro-consent version :/


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.


There's no clapping in the beginning i was so confused


He says "how can you do this thing to me" which is rlly pushy sooooooo


dodie dont ur think this song is a bit creepy or am i just an ass ?


"so rape-y" haha. I never really listened to the lyrics before but yes, now that I have, so rape-y


The what's in this drink is clearly just about alcohol. Why is this rapey meme so common?


Ugh. I wish people today flirted like that. Now we have people requesting nude pics.


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.


Why is this in my recommendations? It’s July almost 4 years later jajajajaja


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!!!


its been exactly a year since this uploaded AHashsakjd


Can one of u marry me idc ifI'm underaged


lol so since this song kinda creeps me out now i'm creeped out by lewis too nwjfcniwfh

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 :)


this is the most relaxing moment I've experienced in the entirety of 2016 tbh. I'm so relaxed. I've never felt so soothed and calm...possibly Ever


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 one of my least favorite holiday songs, but I watched it all the way through and gave it a like because DODIE IS JUST THE BEST 😍😍😍


I have always loved you and lewis AND THEN it's like ??? omg! the two faves! and I had no idea that this could ever happen! thank you!


I went to see Lewis at one of his concerts a couple of years ago😍


i love your kinda modest, careful, grave but cozy and calming aesthetic you have in some videos. you just wanna sit quietly and listen to it for ages


THEY NEED TO DO MORE SONGS TOGETHER!!!!!!!


OMG I LOVE LEWIS HES SO CUTE HIS MUSIC KILLS ME 😍😍


this song always gives off a "hostage situation" sort of vibe for me.

(regardless, this cover is really nice & warm & fuzzy)


This was sung sooooooo beautifully but yeah it is a bit of a creepy message in the song!


Ahhh i love lewis i had no idea he and dodie were friends!! <3


Wow they actually made it almost not creepy, good job


I really like you guys singing faces it's cute


Holy shit this is a dream come true I love Lewis Watson oh my god I love Dodie but I would've never imagined this yes yes

MERRY CHRISTMAS DODIE THIS SOUNDS REALLY NICE! Sorry about the all caps! ^_^<br>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?!")

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?!")


Why is no one commenting on Lewis' voice im in love


It's so odd seeing Lewis without his old brown fringe-y hair. He's grown up so much since the 'even if' days✨


The singing was wonderful.  Harmonies superb.  But, Dodie, the gum?!


Fodor I love your voice it makes me so happy


WHAT WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WANTED BUT ACTUALLY NEEDED ALL ALONG


I actually performed this song at school and I spent such a long time trying to decide which version out of all to sing and NOW YOU DECIDE TO UPLOAD!?


MY FAVORITES TOGETHER IN ONE VIDEO OH MY GOD


can i use this as background music for one of my videos please? love you ❤


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


this version is making me actually this song good job


MY FAVES TOGETHER YES I AM A L I V E I LOVE U BOTH SO MUCh


Makes me happy but sad at the same time.


Because your voice sounds very sweet and full of love and Lewis' voice is soft and soothing this song doesn't sound rapey anymore.

Anyway I just think that the drink he made her is quite strong but it's still bad because he tries to get her drunk.


lewis watson was in dolly magazine in like 2012 and i listened to calling on repeat for like a year


oh my gosh your voices re perfect this sounds wonderful but oh my gosh i totally agree wat the heck is this song


Ligit so happy this happened. First listened to Lewis four years ago


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


THOMAS SANDERS AND DODIE CLARKE WOULD BE THE MOST AMAZING COUPLE EVER, THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER MAKES MY HEART MELT


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.


I shrieked my favorite two people in one video!!!  :))


I instantly think of willam belli's version "a very cosby christmas" from the christmas queens album lol🤣


FAVE ARTISTS WITH MY FAVE CHRISTMAS SONG I KNOW MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP BUT JEEZUS


ITS LEWIS MY DUDE he wrote sink or swim which is like my most listened to song of 2016 lmaooo


omg????? how???? i love lewis watson so much???? this is the best present?? bless you omG


this video is the most important thing in my life 😍😍😍😍


This song is SO rapie!<br>But it sounded lovely.

This song is SO rapie!
But it sounded lovely.


did you get a new mic ?? lovely video by the way


ok so my life is now complete. i can die happy now see u guys on the other side


I literally screamed when I saw Lewis in my feed ngl


This song is a classic but honestly if this song was made today it would be a controversial.


Tom Jones did a cover of this.

Just to brighten up your day.


Dodie Clark and Lewis Watson together!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!!!!


MY COMMENT ON AN AWKWARD DUET CAME TRUE BUT EXCEPT THIS ISNT JON BUUT NO WORRIES THIS IS AMAZING


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 :)


DODIE ANNDD LEWIS??? THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER


Y'all need to read the description, describing why the lyrics sound "rapey" in 2016.


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


when r u going to do a video with ur sister again dodie?


This is what the tumblr post says:

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 is what the tumblr post says:

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!

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

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.

LEWIS  HAVE YOU PLAYED LIFE IS STRANGE ITS RANDOM BUT WHATEVER


Better without PC-obligatory commentary.


its the new urban legend, try to trash up a great song....what ever....


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.
