The tune that stuck with me on that car ride to the Christmas tree farm (I roll with some hardcore Xmas-lovers) was this odd little nugget of a duet called Baby, it's Cold Outside.
This song seems to get dragged out every few years, often with middling to poor results.
Coincidentally, a friend mentioned a particularly pungent rendition by James Taylor and Natalie Cole on her blog.


Since this bizarre song scratched at my consciousness twice in two days, I couldn't help but ask the question: Who hacked out the very WORST rendition of Baby, It's Cold Outside?
(Two caveats: 1. This Youtube version is one of those photo montages made by a die-hard fan, but the song is all there. 2. Of particular creepiness is the way they treat the seduction dialog that starts at 3:31 - don't miss James Taylor trying his darndest to cash the check with Natalie - but she just ain't havin it! Actually 3 caveats: 3. If this is you're favorite song, I'm so so sorry for what I'm about to do to it.)

I AM SO GLAD YOU DID THIS. I will be listening to each and every version to make sure my vote is correct. Oh my god, I'm so happy!
