No nasturtiums being cast by me. I see it as pretty much the same sentiment as the old song. It popped into my head this morning and I realised how similar the songs are in intent, but Baby It's Cold Outside is more subtle, based more on innuendo which probably fitted that time better.
Take it forward another decade or three and there's not much subtlety about some of the songs. And then flick forward to this last decade which, coming after The Noughties then came into The Tweenies, should be possibly renamed to The Twerkies to better reflect the rock/pop atmosphere. LOL
On another note, I saw an interview with the current line-up of The Four Tops and they sang a little snippet of Cole Porter's song, In the Still of the Night. This isn't a song about getting someone into bed for a quickie. It's a song about a lovely, dreamy expression of romantic hopes and fears.
In The Still Of The Night As I gaze from my window At the moon in its flight My thoughts all stray to you
In The Still Of The Night All the world is in slumber All the times without number Darling when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you Are you my life to be, my dream come true Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill In the chill, still, of the night
