It was written as a party song by the great Frank Loesser that he and his wife performed when they entertained at their home.  His wife was very upset when he decided to use it in a movie for public consumption. and was a sign that the marriage was in trouble.  And it was. Witty sexual banter is just not part of our culture today.  It requires a deft light touch and sophistication that used to be a staple in our entertainment decades ago.  "Santa Baby" is another such song introduced by a performer who was famous for this type of material, Eartha Kitt.  "Thanks For The Memories" and "I Remember It Well" are two others.  Cole Porter wrote a trunkfull of these types of songs.  I've seen younger people do these songs well but they are not pop stars and no one is going to be one doing this type of material.  What a pity.  I like “Baby Its Cold Outside”.  It wasn’t written as a cool song.

I like the old hymns but that is all the Christmas songs I want to listen to. I know what you mean if I have to listen to jingle bells one more time I am going bang my head against the wall.

You can only listen to the same songs so many times before madness sets in. Mind you, to those who like to listen to music, all the more power to you, and may you find happiness in it.  I listen to very little music anymore, especially Christmas music, as it has gotten to the point of being over-played, over-hyped, and over-rated.
