US singers John Legend and Kelly Clarkson have recorded an updated version of the Christmas hit Baby, It’s Cold Outside which ran into controversy with the #MeToo movement.
The song, written in 1944, takes the form of a back-and-forth conversation between a man and a woman.
However, last Christmas it raised questions about consent .
It was suggested one line – “Say what’s in this drink? (No cabs to be had out there)” – could refer to date rape.
In an interview with Vanity Fair , Legend said he and writer Natasha Rothwell had penned some new lyrics for the song and he had recorded it with Clarkson.
