Cleveland’s Star 102.1 radio station has pulled holiday classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside” in support of the #MeToo movement. In his explanation of the decision, disc jockey Glenn Anderson called the lyrics to the song “manipulative and wrong.”
“We used to play the song ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside,’ but you’re the Christmas Executive Officer at Star 102 and you told us it’s no longer appropriate,” Anderson wrote earlier this week on the radio station’s website. “I gotta be honest, I didn’t understand why the lyrics were so bad…Until I read them.”
With that clever play on “CEO,” Anderson is referring to a poll the station put out to gauge listener feedback about the tune.
