I've heard this song for decades with no issues....just thought it was a fun christmas song........until recently, I examined the words....and started figuring out why the guy was begging the lady to stay inside.
. You’d miss a lot of really good music . I just heard the Danish orchestra and a chorus do The theme from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Which is the name of a Clint Eastwood movie from the 60s . The theme is a good piece of music.If the song doesn't extol Christ, there is no reason for me to sing or listen to it.
?????Are those against this song racists? Does the thought of a Hispanic man being with a white woman bother them?
?????
Uhmm not at all. The more I know God, the more vile everything ungodly becomes. Call me crazy or boring but even Christian music that seems to be 'cool' just to appeal to masses without exalting Christ is not my cup of tea. I find it distasteful. If I wanna enjoy some cool music, there are lots of old Christian ballads/Hymns. If it is not for Christ, I have no business listening to it no matter how cool it sounds. Guess am an old soul but if God is a jealous God, then I want to be separated for Him(in every smallest possible way) and am quite intentional on that.View attachment 246755 .

When my kids were little I told them that they could listen to rap only if they listened to all music or none of it. So I had jazz , pop, classical, opera and some world music . I didn’t censor them as I had more important things to do that chase after a stubborn preteen over unimportant things. Long story short, my oldest likes pop from the 50s and 60s and my youngest likes operettas and classical and disco. I’m only sorry that I didn’t have more country or faith music for them to listen to. By faith music I don’t mean just Christian faith music either.
The picture from the video is a screenshot I can’t link from my phone for some weird reason. It’s on YouTube
So you don't sing at birthday parties?If the song doesn't extol Christ, there is no reason for me to sing or listen to it.
In the movie, it was Ricardo Montalbán.Hispanic?? Dean Martin was not Hispanic.
I certainly have sympathy for those who are a victim of date rape but applying something to a song which doesn't apply doesn't correct their problem. It shows they need more help in healing from a horrible crime.
