10 Love Songs You Didn't Realise Were Really Creepy

"Say, what's in this drink?"

By Brydie Lee Kennedy /

Have you ever been humming along to a song you've heard 1000 times before, a song which you believed to be a perfectly nice love song and then- wait, what? Did they really just sing that? Oh no, we played this song at our wedding! Sure, some songs (and singers) are obviously creepy (hello Robin Thicke's entire back catalogue) but some songs hide their creepiness under euphemisms or catchy beats...

10. Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin & Martina McBride

Long before 2013's "Blurred Lines" appalled listeners with its shaky understanding of the whole "No means no" concept, we had "Baby It's Cold Outside" committing the exact same crimes. First written in 1944, it's been covered countless times and is always wheeled out around Christmas as a winter classic. How a song in which a man repeatedly pressures a woman to stay the night (and presumably sleep with him) became a beloved classic is baffling. And in the era of the Bill Cosby revelations, are we really OK with the line "Say, what's in this drink?" being asked by a woman who is trapped in a man's house? CHILDREN SING THIS SONG AS CHRISTMAS CONCERTS. CHILDREN.
