For the past week, we’ve been bombarded by media outlets reporting the same story over and over. A Cleveland radio station has decided to remove the 1944 Christmas classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside” from its airwaves. According to WDOK-FM host Glenn Anderson:

“The world we live in is extra sensitive now, people get easily offended, but in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place.”

A radio station in San Francisco has followed suit. As have stations in Canada, and soon others, to be sure (Thankfully, a station in Denver has reversed course).

There have been a lot of discussions and think pieces on whether the song is “appropriate” for 2018. This made me wonder about the lyrics for the top charting songs in America today. I decided to check the Spotify United States Top 50. It didn’t take long to find ridiculously misogynistic lyrics that make you long for songs from the 1940s. (WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE)

#2 — “Going Bad” by Meek Mill

Known to keep the baddest bitches on commando (Salute)

Every time I’m in my trap, I move like Rambo (Extended)

Ain’t a neighborhood in Philly that I can’t go (That’s a Fendi)

For real

She said, “Oh, you rich rich?” (“You rich rich”)

Bitch, I graduated, call me “Big Fish” (Ballin’)

I got Laurie Harrier on my wish list (That’s Laurie)

That’s the only thing I want for Christmas (True story, uh)

#3 — “Sicko Mode” by Travis Scott

Yeah, this-this shit way too formal, y’all know I don’t follow suit

Stacey Dash, most of these girls ain’t got a clue

All of these hoes I made off records I produced

I might take all my exes and put ’em all in a group (yeah)

Hit my eses, I need the bootch (yeah)

‘Bout to turn this function to Bonnaroo (its lit)

Told her, “Hop in, you comin’ too”

In the 305, bitches treat me like I’m Uncle Luke

(Don’t stop, pop that pussy!)

Had to slop the top off, it’s just a roof, uh (Don’t stop, pop that pussy!)

She said, “Where we goin’?” I said, “The moon” (Don’t stop, pop that pussy!)

We ain’t even make it to the room

She thought it was the ocean, it’s just the pool

Now I got her open, it’s just the Goose

Who put this shit together? I’m the glue

#4 — “Mo Bamba” by Sheck Wes

You fuck around and get poled (you get poled, bitch) ’Cause I got hoes (so many fucking hoes)

#8 — “TIC TOC” by 6ix9ine

Treat that bitch like she a fefe

Big body Benz, that’s beep-beep

Hit it in the back of the Jeep-Jeep

That bitch know she a freak-freak

And the pussy staying on leak-leak

#9 — “KIKA” by 6ix9ine

Kick her out, I’m gettin’ money now, actin’ funny now

Thought she love me, but she only tryna fuck me for the clout

Saw the Patek all bust down, charter run down

Bitch hit me on a touchdown, but I curved it

They be beggin’ me to keep the bitch, but I don’t need the bitch

Ray Charles, John Cena shit, I can’t see the bitch

In the DM sendin’ naked pics, Uber that bitch

But I send her in the pool even though I’m rich as shit

That’s just in the top 10. There are plenty of other songs on today’s Spotify chart calling women “bitches” and “hoes,” that also include vivid descriptions of their mistreatment, sexual and otherwise.

If stations like WDOK-FM want to re-evaluate playing certain songs in the #MeToo era, maybe they should take a look at 2018’s biggest hits, not 1940s Christmas classics.
