This is the version people really don't talk about. It goes both ways in the same movie, and either way the "What's in this drink?" is implying that they don’t want to get drunk, not that it's poisoned.
It really gets taken out of context now by people with no sense of subtlety or subtext. It is a common gag in old movies as an excuse for behavior that might be frowned upon, and the joke is there is usually nothing in the drink, ie no alcohol as you say.
I performed this song in high school for a musical revue with a girl who was taller than me. I think the music director must have seen this Skelton/Garrett rendition because that's how we played it, the guy wanting to go and the gal wanting to hold him back. We changed some lines, deleted the reference to alcohol, and I had some lines about my car might not start, and getting stuck in the snow with no shovel, and she had some about maidenly modesty and wanting to cook me some dinner and the way to a man's heart being through his stomach. It was very funny, the audience loved it, we got a long applause and there might have been a curtain call or two.

I post this scene every Christmas just to prove how STUPID people can be... how they don't even know the song, much less the movie... political correctness run amok. These are consenting adults trying to seduce each other. Not a thing in the world wrong with that. "What's in this drink?" LIQUOR! Not to mention how tiresome it is to see every single old movie and song re-made or changed to suit another time. What in the world are writers doing anyway???? Certainly not coming up with anything new.
@@acbacbacbacbacb Honestly, the first part of the song with Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban, in my opinion, is just a delightful flirty song between the two of them.

people? its mostly women that dont talk about.
I think I'm as impressed with just the choreography as anything else! Can you imagine the practice that went into it?
It's crazy that the whole discourse regarding this song completely seems to conveniently forgets this part of the song.
Yes.

reversing the roles - brilliant
When a guy sings it, he's creepy. When a woman sings it, she's annoying. What you think of that?
@@gamehero6816 i think is correct
A woman demanding sex is Female empowerment (according to liberals today)
.
Now this is what I call “equality”!
Thats why the roles of the song aren't gendered: the Chased and the Chaser
Many men have admitted to finding this lady attractive!
I hope this will be shared at Christmas time!
This is the version I share every year

Crazy thing, it isn't a christmas song.
Yup, it's the version I post every year
its funny that the regulr one is romantic, but this one, from the same movie, is played as a comedy.
Wait until the "Me too" movement sees this!!! Boy oh boy will Betty Garrett be in trouble!!!
Some people complain that this song (a woman trying to seduce a man) is sexist.
What yr is this ?
Neptune's Daughter was released in 1949.
Wow She rips off his jacket! Women as SO entitled!
Few years ago the young woke woman's head's were exploding over this
6 Liberals were offended.
I'm a Liberal, and this is one of my favorite songs/performances. It's great comedy. Betty Garrett is the BEST.
Then you’re not a “true liberal” according to today’s woke contingent
Yeah, and way more conservatives are livid. Oh noes.... THE CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILDREN!
@@rustyfrank would you say its comedy for the male on female version. no you wont you hypocrite

Even the creator knew this song sounded a bit off. 😅
Which make the idea of a parody song seem very stupid.
