Is this a news story every year now? I heard the woke outrage over this song already.
That's from 2016, and I swear I heard this in the news last year too.
Hahahaha. I love it.
What's hilarious is that the only difference between this and the original is that their "woke" version shows a guy who is obviously bloody awful at reading social cues.
I makes it even more awkward and creepy.
Think about it.
You have a new chick over at your place maybe this is your 3rd or 4th date.
Her: "I really can't stay"
You: "OK"
Her: "Goodnight"
The End.
Here though she is like prattling on with reason after reason why she has to leave but why the hell would ANYONE do that?
Just leave then.
Oh I need to go. OK.
I had a great time. OK.
You know I have to go because my mom will be worried. Okaaaay...
My dad will be mad...
OK so you WANT to stay but you think your parents will be mad? Listen, if you want to just stay over you can.
Like, halfway through this the dude just seems like a twat because if she wanted leave then she would leave but shes giving it "hmm... well... it's my parents and the neighbors really". She sounds like she is trying to talk herself into staying and he is just like "no no no you should leave". Even though he wants her to stay. Weird.
Then she's like "its cold outside". Um, so just stay then? Instead of saying "I have to go" like 30 different ways.
At least the original somewhat reasonably portrays a new couple starting to get close to each other around xmas time (which seems fairly common) and she is kind of like "OK I don't want to seem overly keen but also I don't want to just leave" so she is leaving it wide open (haaaaaaaaaa!) for the dude to take the lead.
Plus the song is just a story. A story that I am sure a lot of people can relate to.
It's not some kind of instruction manual or some shit.
Chaps, I haven't dated for many years and it seems unlikely I will ever be with any new women since I got married. If my memory serves me correctly a LOT of my dating experience was kind of negotiating these social situations where you can't just say "let's go back to my gaff and fuck all night" even though that's precisely what you both intend to do.
Fuck, we still do it now even with small things like ordering pizza and watching a movie when we have other stuff to do.
"Do you wanna get pizza tonight".
"But we said we'd go to that party".
"Fine. What time do you want to leave here then."
"Plus I feel like we've been getting takeaway too often these days."
"Yup no worries".
"Plus I'd have to cancel the plans and I got those new shoes"
"Right but do you want Pizza and a movie instead".
"Sure, lets just stay home".
I kind of feel sorry for a whole generation of women who are out there getting the female equivalent of blue balls ("swollen clunge" or something, I'd imagine) because these dipshit dudes don't know how to read between the lines.
In the "reinterpreted" version she probably gets the fuck out there and goes round to some other dudes place to get banged before texting her friends to laugh about her clueless date who she practically had to beg for sex.
