in the original context, the film "Neptune's Daughter", it was done both ways, in the a-plot romance the guy to the girl, and in the b-plot romance a girl to a guy
+Marie -Absolutely Yes - Cheek to Cheek. I'm 65. And, as an older jaded guy, I didn't realize how great a singer she was until she tackled those great classic songs.

It's a 2 piece blazer and dress pants but beside the point. Men never dressed like that on the regular unless they were/are business men, actors, gangsters, or drug peddlers that controlled a whole market.
He's a cutie but I can't find any sex appeal about him at all. ☹️ I remember thinking in 500 Days of Summer that Zoe's character made the right choice in the end.
eh joseph yes gaga no. between tge bulging eyes and REALLY bad wig whats so hot about her? i lost all respect for her when she ripped off madonnas express ur self
Wrong. Thats a stock joke from the time and the song is about consent and exercising sexual agency. Source:It’s time to bring an end to the Rape Anthem Masquerading As Christmas Carol Hi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s. So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely *sounds* like a rape anthem. BUT! Let’s look closer! “Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol. See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do - and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink - unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency. Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along. So it’s not actually a song about rape - in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
Or its S & M T.V. version LOL She doesn't have the kindness or life in her eyes she used to to pull an audience like other actresses/singers. She has led a rough life.
joseph and gaga are so talented and charming and at the top of theire game. however there's an older version of the song by nina and frederik th-cam.com/video/M2gvXL5aKhU/w-d-xo.html i find more humorous and better performed.
The role reversal is fun, but it's almost as old as the song itself. They did it in "Neptune's Daughter", a 1949 film, which contrasted two couples singing the song, one with the guy trying to get the girl to stay, the other with the girl trying to get the guy to stay.
As noted in the article below: Taken in context it's more about allowing the woman plausible deniability because the social mores of the time didn't allow women to take ownership of their sexuality. Notice, in eve ry version the woman isn't really trying hard to leave.
Love the gender swap. He’s adorable. Her dress is perfect. But how in the world did she do those stairs in those stilettos with that mermaid hem?! She’s amazing.
Okay so they DID make this song more acceptable by genderswapping the lyrics. Cool. I just wanted to make sure I was hearing this right. I Love it and it's adorable this way!
People seem to forget (or ignore) that the original song was 'genderswapped' in Neptune's Daughter, the 1940s movie it debuted in. It is first sung with the 'traditional' roles with Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban, and later with the roles reversed with Red Skelton and Betty Garrett. You can find the clip on youtube from the movie with all four singing it. So to say the least it wasn't as problematic as people claimed. From it's inception there wasn't necessarily a "male" and "female" part.
Every time I see him I think of Third Rock From The Sun :D and haters calling Gaga ugly or funny looking or whatever can blow pipe, she's adorable with those big ol' eyes and pretty smile and bangin' hot body.
+Todd Scofield I think she's strange looking and attractive at the same time. I don't like her face, but I can see how someone else would. But she's a singer, not a model, so it really doesn't matter. It's not her job to be pretty. I think she aims more to be interesting. She doesn't go out dressed in meat because she thinks she looks great in prosciutto.
+moonlily1 u dont like her face?? i think her face is really cute! im sure u only say dat because u see her in odd costumes and weird make ups more often than see her in simple or elegant clothings and simple make ups. i knew some pics of her in natural make up and even no make up at all and shes really pretty I wish i could show ya! i mean damn are u saying she should just pay for a plastic surgery that will only ruin her health? I think She's even prettier than Katy perry and Taylor swift. She looks really angelic... really rare nowadays
+FerretJohn you judge People by odd fashion Choices? i love it when she lets her inner freak out. its artistic, that's what it is. Yeah it's weird but her voice doesn't change because of the exterior factor.
+iviDivi North Absolutely I judge people by their odd fashion choices, every time I see a wannabe gangsta wearing his pants around around his hips, I have to resist the urge to tall him to pull up his damn pants. If you claim to have never judged people by their clothing choices then I will tell you that you are lying. Art, like Beauty, is in the eye of the Beholder, one mans trash is anothers treasure. The late great Andy Kaufman has been described as the Father of Modern Performance Art, a visionary ahead of his time, others have described him as an obnoxious jerk. The debate still goes on. Besides being a lover of quality music I am also an avid long-time fan of professional wrestling, and yes I am quite aware of how many people refuse to see the art in it and just see it as childish trash (but that's a different conversation). Modern wrestlers, especially in the WWE, require gimmicks, an individual over-the-top style, a hook to draw the fans in. I've seen a lot of great gimmicks over the years and I've seen a lot of bad ones, and I've seen a lot of very talented wrestlers ruined because their gimmick overwhelmed their talent. The fans couldn't see the acrobats, just the clowns. Gaga is the same way, phenomenally talented singer, but that talent can be so overshadowed by stage production, by the foot-high shoes and the bubble-dresses and the huge stage productions that many fans only see the side-show and not the main event.
well we all have opinions and i never said Yours was wrong. its wrong for me. but im not going to make a big deal out of this. gaga is a huge inspiration for me and many others for her bold fashion Choices and Music. stop worrying to much and just chill out.
Last year 50 shades of Grey was a bestseller. This year they complain about an old song. I’d bet the same people that read the book are the people complaining. 2018 the year of hypocrisy
And she's wearing two different (but identical looking) shoes. If you look closely at the beginning or 0:41, one shoe has a leather sole and rubber tip on the end, but at 1:41 the other has a leather sole and rubber insert across the front part, plus a shape that isn't on the sole at 0:41.
One of my favorite actors paired with an already iconic singer....and both do superbly just on chemistry alone. Updated and perfected all the more so a new generation can appreciate this undeniably captivating classic 😎
I love Lady Gaga no matter what, but she looks so pretty without all the makeup and done up costumes. Like, she has natural beauty no matter what people say
The original version also had roles swapped. Most people who complain about this song tend to not bring this fact up because in my opinion it discredits their argument.
I never liked Lady Gaga much, but I must admit some of her outfits are quite lovely, including this one. I personally love those heels; they appear to have suede or buffed leather soles and a nice glitter/sequin design.
@@themalibumessiah4596 It's not a rape song, this person never called it a rape song, this person isn't even necessarily a liberal. And as others have mentioned, the original has the woman in the main role too. So what is your deal?
The boy's and girl's parts were switched in the original performance, too. (From the film Neptune's Daughter, 1949) Check it out, it's on TH-cam, as well.
WOW! They are fabulous together. She has such a beautiful voice. I did not know he could sing. My favorite version of this song and yes I've heard em all.
I love this song Baby It,s Cold Outside it is one of my favorites and I especially like the way Lady GaGa turns the song around turning the tables on the guy. That is a great twist on this great classic song.I love it and can,t wait for the Xmas seasons to hear it.I love the humor if the song .people should appreciate the humor of this fun song
"Baby It's Cold Outside" first appeared in the 1949 film Neptune's Daughter, were it was performed twice: once with the traditional roles, and later with the roles reversed (the guy leaving and the girl trying to make him stay.) That alone should prove that the song was simply intended to be about flirting and not rape.
what the hell ? this was gorgeous ! lady gaga was not out of tune nor slow on tempo. her voice just happens to be different from the original song and she was exactly with the beat ! this is amazing
I LOVE this version. It handles the issue of a young girl being manipulated by turning the tables, and if it means that I get to hear this pretty song, I am all for it, especially when it's sung this well. Love Gaga!
Or it shows that our generation is so distorted and screwed up, we have to twist everything into something it isn't. It's not actually about anyone manipulating anyone. If it is, then how screwed up is this comment? Fixes the problem of the woman being manipulated by having the man be manipulated? The warped interpretation of this song makes me shake my head at how so many people are sheep and unable to think for themselves. Listen to the lyrics... she wants to stay! He's not manipulating her. He's trying to persuade her sure.. but she not to do anything she doesn't already want to do. She's concerned about what others will think and about worrying others if she doesn't get home soon. But she wants to stay!!! This is written at a time where that would have been frowned on.
Oh really? The only one? Go watch the original 1940s movie, where a girl is horny & the guy is trying to leave. (The 1940svactress did a better job than Gaga.)
I like the fact that Joseph is singing the lady's part while Gaga's singing the guy's part
+El Kohler That is absolutely the reason it works oscillating the energy and revealing the extreme elasticity of art. Just so beautiful.
in the original context, the film "Neptune's Daughter", it was done both ways, in the a-plot romance the guy to the girl, and in the b-plot romance a girl to a guy
Because gaga always flirts with the boys and tries to have...
+El Kohler Same here. There should be vids with guys singing girl parts and girls singing the guy parts.

I think we’re all in love with him
I love both of them tbh
Ive been in love with him since the 3rd rock from the sun and 10 things I hate about you 😩😩😭😭❤️❤️

I heard him sing in the movie (500) days of summer! There's a karaoke sing with him and Zoe Deschanel that's super awesome
@@ariasijiali1689
I saw that one. He sounds like Michael Buble.
just call him sexy and go no need for exaggeration
I like his duet with Zoe Deschanel "What are you doing on New Year's Eve?"
The way he dresses, he belongs in that era : ).
lesyayandfilksongs
He just has like a 50s class to him
mens fashion literally has not changed much lmao
... a suit?

Men don't wear 3-piece suits as a regular thing these days.
It's a 2 piece blazer and dress pants but beside the point. Men never dressed like that on the regular unless they were/are business men, actors, gangsters, or drug peddlers that controlled a whole market.
How she danced around without tripping in that dress is just so amazing to me 😂
ITS CALLED EDITING.
Very true, haha! She had a difficult moment at 2:58 but that seems to be all!
The fact that she avoided jail time is amazing to ME.
She is clearly raping Joseph Gordon Leavitt, over and over, during the performance.
How she managed to avoid being raped is even more amazing.
I noticed close to the end as she was going down the stairs she stumbled a little but other than that she's great
When they talk about sexy men in Hollywood I think he’s overlooked a lot! I’ve had a crush on him for many many years!
Ever since Inception and his mistletoe makeout w/ Corden ;)
He's a cutie but I can't find any sex appeal about him at all. ☹️ I remember thinking in 500 Days of Summer that Zoe's character made the right choice in the end.

James Palmer That's not what the song is about... You're applying a modern viewpoint on a song written for 60+ years ago
Actually she date raped him (if you pay attention, he's trying to get away "what's in this drink").
Wrong. Thats a stock joke from the time and the song is about consent and exercising sexual agency.
Source:It’s time to bring an end to the Rape Anthem Masquerading As Christmas Carol
Hi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s.
So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely *sounds* like a rape anthem.

Gaga looks adorable and JGL is so handsomly attractive... this is so perfect
I love how they switched the roles and that Gaga is the assertive one. They are both so talented. Enjoyed this!
at 2:05 she starts to fall over her dress and he grabs her and plays it off. Awww.
Elle Sol ooh I didn't notice it the first time.... thanks because it was soooo cute and aww
i think uh, that was the point. In the song hes trying to get his coat back so he "steps" on her dress to stop her.
Anyone else notice she tripped over her dress at 2:04 (very subtle) and he SAVES her so smoothly?! Great reflexes and improve right there
A good dance number works when your partner is looking out for you.
I love how they switched the roles!!! Normal the female part is the part Joseph sings!!
There's two versions Melissa
Check out a 1949 film called "Neptune's Daughters", they do both the normal version and the reversed version in the same scene. Pretty funny bit.

+FerretJohn you judge People by odd fashion Choices? i love it when she lets her inner freak out. its artistic, that's what it is. Yeah it's weird but her voice doesn't change because of the exterior factor.
+iviDivi North bravo mate bravo
+iviDivi North Absolutely I judge people by their odd fashion choices, every time I see a wannabe gangsta wearing his pants around around his hips, I have to resist the urge to tall him to pull up his damn pants. If you claim to have never judged people by their clothing choices then I will tell you that you are lying. Art, like Beauty, is in the eye of the Beholder, one mans trash is anothers treasure. The late great Andy Kaufman has been described as the Father of Modern Performance Art, a visionary ahead of his time, others have described him as an obnoxious jerk. The debate still goes on.
Besides being a lover of quality music I am also an avid long-time fan of professional wrestling, and yes I am quite aware of how many people refuse to see the art in it and just see it as childish trash (but that's a different conversation). Modern wrestlers, especially in the WWE, require gimmicks, an individual over-the-top style, a hook to draw the fans in. I've seen a lot of great gimmicks over the years and I've seen a lot of bad ones, and I've seen a lot of very talented wrestlers ruined because their gimmick overwhelmed their talent. The fans couldn't see the acrobats, just the clowns.
Gaga is the same way, phenomenally talented singer, but that talent can be so overshadowed by stage production, by the foot-high shoes and the bubble-dresses and the huge stage productions that many fans only see the side-show and not the main event.
well we all have opinions and i never said Yours was wrong. its wrong for me. but im not going to make a big deal out of this. gaga is a huge inspiration for me and many others for her bold fashion Choices and Music. stop worrying to much and just chill out.
i am 75, not up to par with anything, but i love lady gaga with all my heart, she has integrity as well as talent!
Here we are, 2018 and people are flipping out about the orginal song, yet lady gaga covered it for the holidays and no one flipped out.
Just some fools decided to bitch and ruin a good thing for everyone else that it didn't bother.
Still creepy.
I think it's a 2018 thing
Last year 50 shades of Grey was a bestseller. This year they complain about an old song. I’d bet the same people that read the book are the people complaining.
2018 the year of hypocrisy
Of course not, we all know it's BECAUSE the genders were flipped no one complained.
Joseph Gordon Levitt is the perfect man. Handsome, talented, intelligent and king of lipsyncing (that title is shared with Paul Rudd)
he actually was singing here i believe..
Francesca Camassa I think he is mentioning the lip sync battle in Jimmy Fallon.
HE IS SO HANDSOME AND CHARMING OMGGGG
1:17 I just realized he's wearing two different socks lol
And she's wearing two different (but identical looking) shoes. If you look closely at the beginning or 0:41, one shoe has a leather sole and rubber tip on the end, but at 1:41 the other has a leather sole and rubber insert across the front part, plus a shape that isn't on the sole at 0:41.
Wow didn't notice
He always wears two different socks in honor of his brother who passed away. His brother used to always mismatch his socks.
lady gaga has such a beautiful voice
this is such an unexpectedly good combination.
I love when Gaga sing and act at the same time
One of my favorite actors paired with an already iconic singer....and both do superbly just on chemistry alone. Updated and perfected all the more so a new generation can appreciate this undeniably captivating classic 😎
I had no idea he would be such a crooner!!! He sounds awesome!!! Loved their version of this classic.
I don't care what anyone says. Lady Gaga is a truly talented singer. And Mr Gordon-Levitt isn't half bad either. ;)
I really love the switch of roles in this. It was beautiful done with a nice pep tempo!
I love seeing actors able to sing, dance and act. It is like the actors of old that were all triple threats. Great duet!
I love him so much XD
I love her so much.
Magdalena Karczewska I love then s much haahahah
Only her
LOVE the role switch! They both did a wonderful job!
Love Joseph... omg 20 years I've been watching him......just keeps getting better!!
They have such great chemistry. Delightful performance, so flirty and well sung
I love Lady Gaga no matter what, but she looks so pretty without all the makeup and done up costumes. Like, she has natural beauty no matter what people say
What a fantastic rendition of this song! I like the switched lyrics.
The original version also had roles swapped. Most people who complain about this song tend to not bring this fact up because in my opinion it discredits their argument.
Is it just me or is that dress stunning.
On her?????
Shes not. Uggg
Not her the dress.
I never liked Lady Gaga much, but I must admit some of her outfits are quite lovely, including this one. I personally love those heels; they appear to have suede or buffed leather soles and a nice glitter/sequin design.
My bisexual heart can't handle this
I was gonna comment the same thing !! I’m dying over here😌
tmai
I'm not and I can't either, lol.
Me
OMG SAME 😭😭😭😭
The gender flip is perfection
Yes!
soulfulpizza14 The original does it too.. You missed the second part of the original. Go watch it
Oh so if a woman sings its not considered a rape song nice. Great job SJW libtards
th-cam.com/video/7MFJ7ie_yGU/w-d-xo.html Its from a movie and is presented both ways originally.
@@themalibumessiah4596 It's not a rape song, this person never called it a rape song, this person isn't even necessarily a liberal. And as others have mentioned, the original has the woman in the main role too. So what is your deal?
Love him, so clean cut looking , good actor, private, singer too ! Gaga is a huge talent, shoes are kicking. Nice to see him so playful.
Idk but I just saw the vid for the first time and I ship them so hard I may even write a fanfiction about it
Maybe you should post the link, so we can read this fic !!!
Oh hahhaha thank you but my english is not as good I wished it to be so it could be hard❤❤❤
You should! I'd read it no matter if it's in tolkien elvish
Beria Svensson I was thinking the same thing! stories in my head!
ill read!
OMG… the both of them…. They are performing so well… Unearthly! Love the both of you! ❤
I remember when he was a lot younger and on 3rd rock from the Sun. Who knew he would grow up to be so good looking!
I greatly enjoy both of them! I think the smiles are genuine, they're really having fun!!! Very nice.
I love that they switched the boy and girl's parts It seems much better I kinda wanna watch a whole story of how it starts and ends.
The boy's and girl's parts were switched in the original performance, too. (From the film Neptune's Daughter, 1949)
Check it out, it's on TH-cam, as well.
you just want to see the girl taking advantage of the guy..........and that makes two of us! lol
As well as in She & Him's cover of this song. :)
Lady Gaga is great in everything she does. Such a wonderful talent
This is the best version of this song I've heard so far!
WOW! They are fabulous together. She has such a beautiful voice. I did not know he could sing. My favorite version of this song and yes I've heard em all.
Lady Gaga is specialist of all kind of music.
Still looking at this over and over. Years later. Love them both!! Love them together 💕
love the role reversal. both of them are gorgeous. love her dress and shoes. one of my fave Xmas songs.
Watch the original. This is not a role reversal.
What a classy woman!! Love her
Yeah and Lady Gaga ain't half bad either.
This is the cutest version of this song I've ever heard
He has a great voice!
I love this song Baby It,s Cold Outside it is one of my favorites and I especially like the way Lady GaGa turns the song around turning the tables on the guy. That is a great twist on this great classic song.I love it and can,t wait for the Xmas seasons to hear it.I love the humor if the song .people should appreciate the humor of this fun song
"Baby It's Cold Outside" first appeared in the 1949 film Neptune's Daughter, were it was performed twice: once with the traditional roles, and later with the roles reversed (the guy leaving and the girl trying to make him stay.) That alone should prove that the song was simply intended to be about flirting and not rape.
she's such a classy an Gordon is a classy male figure. this is true the swag and awesomeness
Great version of this song.
*went outside
*got ammonia
*died
Pump Low Nahhh you mean pneumonia right?
HAHAHA! the ammonia will revive him.
+PTM45 smi hahaha what a golden comment
Bob George or hypothermia?????
Hahahahahahaaaaha. Omg
I die
My fave version ever. Mama Gaga turned this song into a statement and nailed it!
i was scared for her walking down the stairs
same
***** i KNOW, she managed to rescue it and not lose her cool, WOW, and YIKES at the same time/// yowsa, yowsa, yowsa
I'm not sure if this is before or after her hip surgery..after a serious fall while performing.
Wrk Hrse This was filmed in October 2013 she had surgery in the beginning of 2013.
what the hell ? this was gorgeous ! lady gaga was not out of tune nor slow on tempo. her voice just happens to be different from the original song and she was exactly with the beat ! this is amazing
He´s a time traveler! Never aged
I LOVE this version. It handles the issue of a young girl being manipulated by turning the tables, and if it means that I get to hear this pretty song, I am all for it, especially when it's sung this well. Love Gaga!
The original 1940s movie also had a horny woman trying to stop the guy from leaving. That was its original context
Or it shows that our generation is so distorted and screwed up, we have to twist everything into something it isn't. It's not actually about anyone manipulating anyone. If it is, then how screwed up is this comment? Fixes the problem of the woman being manipulated by having the man be manipulated?
The warped interpretation of this song makes me shake my head at how so many people are sheep and unable to think for themselves. Listen to the lyrics... she wants to stay! He's not manipulating her. He's trying to persuade her sure.. but she not to do anything she doesn't already want to do. She's concerned about what others will think and about worrying others if she doesn't get home soon. But she wants to stay!!! This is written at a time where that would have been frowned on.
This is my favourite thing Lady Gaga ever sang. And since when did Joseph Gordon-Levitt have such a lovely voice??
Jo's a classy dude
They both played their parts really well. Too bad for Lady Gaga's ever looming maniacal glare.
He has turned into such a handsome young man!
He just turned 40
@@athenamaurer9404 L M A O-
I've been waiting for someone notable to switch the parts in this song. Awesome.
Sweet duet
She's simply adorable and so talented only she can pull this version in reverse got to love Gaga
Oh really? The only one? Go watch the original 1940s movie, where a girl is horny & the guy is trying to leave. (The 1940svactress did a better job than Gaga.)
I have such a huge crush and that man it's ridiculous
Love the high heels that Lady Gaga is wearing.
Where can I get a Lady Gaga just to myself? God this woman is a blessing, I'm in love.
The voice of this woman is UNREAL! 😍😍
He's so handsome. God.
JGL is cute. What a smiley little face he has. Stay Lady, stay.
i love them both so much
I think its adorable!
Gaga is such an elegant lady & I love her little hand and arm moves towards the end so cute..so gaga
gaga is unbelievably cute in this video,love her always
