The first day of December means radio stations all over the world are infusing holiday tunes into their daily track list.

But at one Ohio station, a notable Christmas classic has been nixed in light of the Me Too movement.

According to , listeners complained to Star 102 Cleveland that Baby It香蕉视频直播檚 Cold Outside was inappropriate. The radio station announced it would be pulling the song earlier this week.

The move comes despite a majority of listeners saying they wanted the song to be played in a poll conducted on the radio station香蕉视频直播檚 Facebook page.

In a blog post on the station香蕉视频直播檚 website, show host Glenn Anderson said that he didn香蕉视频直播檛 understand the decision himself until after reading the lyrics to Frank Loesser香蕉视频直播檚 1944 hit.

The song, which won an Oscar in 1950 for Best Original Song and was featured in Neptune香蕉视频直播檚 Daughter, plays like a conversation between a man trying to persuade his female guest to stay with him for the night, instead of risk the journey home in the cold depths of winter.

The song features the opening lyrics, 香蕉视频直播�I really can香蕉视频直播檛 stay - Baby it香蕉视频直播檚 cold outside, I香蕉视频直播檝e got to go away - Baby it香蕉视频直播檚 cold outside.香蕉视频直播�

Other lyrics include:

香蕉视频直播�I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?

At least I香蕉视频直播檓 gonna say that I tried - What香蕉视频直播檚 the sense in hurting my pride?香蕉视频直播�

Anderson said 香蕉视频直播渋t was a different time香蕉视频直播� when the song was first written. It has gone on to be covered by Lad Gaga and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton and was featured in the movie Elf.

香蕉视频直播淏ut now while reading it, it seems very manipulative and wrong,香蕉视频直播� Anderson said.

香蕉视频直播淭he world we live in is extra sensitive now, and people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place.香蕉视频直播�
