Santa Baby It's Cold Outside

The Heart FM Xmas radio station began in September and i have been singing along to various baubles being jangled and halls being decked for months now but with just a few days to go before Christmas, i am getting weary of a few Christmas songs, Noddy hollering 'IT'S CHRISTMAS' kinda loses its appeal on the 570th hearing  but there are two songs which i have never liked from the get go, 'Santa Baby' and 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'.
Thankfully It's Cold Outside doesn't get played that often these days due to the creepy lyrics about a woman saying no to sleeping over multiple times while a man persistently tries to persuade her using the weather conditions as an excuse like a meteorological version of Harvey Weinstein.
Santa Baby though still gets a regular airing despite a YouGov poll siding with me that it tops the poll of the least favorite Christmas song with 32% of Christmas Song listeners who expressed a preference said it sucked candy canes.
Second least liked was 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer' which strangely enough i hardly ever hear and then it was 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' and Paul McCartney's Christmastime won't be quite so Wonderful when he finds out 24% of listeners put his Festive offering 4th and then the top five is rounded out by the aforementioned advocate of date rape when it's cold outside.
The least disliked song (therefore sort of making it the most liked) was Jingle Bells because what we all know what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh in the snow although if you see a man offering you just another drink because its cold out there then steer clear as his intentions may not be hounourable.
