Stephanie Nolasco at FoxNews.com offers a piece on Dean Martin’s daughter’s reaction to the banning of the Christmas
song her father popularized, Baby, It’s Cold Outside.
“Baby It’s Cold Outside”
might be getting an icy reception these days, but Dean Martin’s daughter told
Fox News she’s not going to stop singing the classic in front of audiences.
“’Baby It’s Cold Outside’ is
a cute, flirtatious and romantic song written by Frank Loesser in 1944,” Deana
Martin told Fox News.
It won the Oscar for ‘Best
Original Song’ in the 1949 film ‘Neptune’s Daughter.’ It’s been recorded by
dozens of the world’s top recording artists for over 60 years, including my dad
Dean Martin… This song is included in his very successful 1959 ‘Winter Romance’
album and I’m very proud that it has become an evergreen favorite that is
played every holiday season.”
“I personally love performing
‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ and will continue to do so,” added the fellow
performer, 70. “Merry Christmas!”
Dean died at age 78 in 1995
from acute respiratory failure. And since then, Deana has never stopped sharing
her father’s legacy on stage to new, curious listeners.
“I’m always thinking about
dad, what he went through in his life and how the world has changed,” she
previously told Fox News in 2017. “He was a sweet, generous man
who would just get up and do his thing.”
The song sparked controversy
during the holiday season when a radio station in Ohio pulled it from its
lineup after a listener expressed concern over the holiday song’s lyrics.
According to Fox 8, WDOK Christmas 102.1 removed the tune
after one listener called the radio station and suggested it’s not appropriate
to play the 1940’s classic in 2018.
