SJWs Update 'Bad" Christmas song with Informed Consent Lyrics. Asinine!!!

[Captain N]

hate to break it to ya, but technically they are falling under fair use.

You mean that Weird Al guy hasn't been throwing the middle finger at the music industry for the last 30 years and disrespecting damn near every popular artist since?

[Blur4stuff]

step 1: post video that will trigger a group of people

step 2: watch google adsense numbers tick up

[Orlong]

No they dont. This is not a parody.

sure. all those people who have been pointing out how creepy the song is have all been wrong for years.

people have been calling the song rapey and weird for a long time this isnt the first or the last time this will happen.

"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus", and "Santa Baby" are much more creepy than this song, yet people dont bitch about them. And nobody said "Baby Its Cold Outside" was creepy either until after Y2K

[Kathandira]

Got to about 10 seconds before I stopped. Vocally, they sounds great. Lyrically, the song is boring and pointless.

"I have to go"
"Thats cool"

Wow... Really captured me with that.

First, there was the thread about something a crazy SJW said that got 29 likes on facebook.

Now there's an independent remix of a song that also most likely came from social media.

So now that Trump has brainwashed his followers into believing that all corporate media is lying, are we going to keep getting threads that's basically the equivalent of "LOOK AT WHAT MY FRIEND SHARED ON FACEBOOK, THIS SJW IS DOING SOMETHING WHACKY I DISAGREE WITH!"

Is the OP aware that for instance, ''Oh Holy Night' was very badly translated from the French original with completely different meaning ?

Minuit, chrétiens, c'est l'heure solennelle,
Où l'Homme Dieu descendit jusqu'à nous
Pour effacer la tache originelle
Et de Son Père arrêter le courroux.
(Lit : and to end the wrath of his father

SJW American ''Libural'' version that remove the Old Testament wrath (did I used the correct insults ?)

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

Out of context, the song lyrics as a conversation would be kind of rapey. However, as someone already pointed out, it was written in the 1940's; it's fairly obvious that the woman is being coy for propriety's sake rather than her not actually wanting to stay the night.

[GennGreymane]

No they dont. This is not a parody.

the purpose and character of your use: Seems to be to parody/educate
the nature of the copyrighted work: Once again to be parody/educate
the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and you might have a point here.
the effect of the use upon the potential market. Wont really impact the market

Weird Al has to get permission from the artist to do it. If they say no, he doesn't do it.

He is actually very respectful of the artists work.

Weird Al asks permission for every song he does, and wont publish without permission. Its why he never put "Youre Pitiful" parody of the James Blunt song on an album. Fair Use does allow for parodies though which Weird Al falls under so he doesnt NEED to ask permission but he does it out of respect for the artists. Its also why he never parodied any Prince songs even though he really wanted to.

These SJWs arent making a parody, they are just remaking the song in their own distorted vision of how they think the world should work, which doesnt fall under fair use

Except for that mishap with Coolio when he did Amish Paradise.

Are the people who made the original "Baby It's Cold Outside" still alive to even get permission?

So basically they made a song, posted it on social media, and you don't agree with it so you feel the need to attack them? It sounds like the only person triggered here...Is you.

i mean, did you watch the original from the movie i posted above? if a dude acted like that in real life he'd probably get maced.

the songs just plain creepy. even back then. the guys obnoxious and when the girl sings it they make her looks like she'd have a statue of him made out of used gum hidden in her closet like some crazy stalker

If you would have read the entire article you wouldve seen this:

Plus, they've drawn national attention from the likes of CNN and People, and they landed a recording deal with nonprofit label Rock the Cause. They recorded the song professionally Tuesday at Pearl Recording Studio in Minneapolis, and they expect it to be widely available by Dec. 16 on iTunes, Spotify, Tidal and other streaming sites.

Hardly 2 people making a remix in their living room for fun. They have a record deal!

Man the people that hate "SJW" sure can't shut the fuck up and let shit go.

are you not doing the same thing? they found some thing they didn't like and changed it effecting no one, you found something you done like and are comping about it on a forum effecting no one, same thing really.

[Immitis]

where... people give consent?

[Kathandira]

Probably not, but someone likely owns the rights to it.

Google says: in 1948 Loesser sold the rights to MGM.

Whether they still own it or not, Im not certain.

[sarahtasher]

As I tried to say Orlong, you are aware that most Christmas songs were extensively rewrote ?

For instance, the most-Christmas of them, Holy Night, is not even English-based, let alone American (thus presumably impure and un-christian) : it's a FRENCH song whose traduction massacred the original meaning...

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Because they are throwing their middle finger to tradition and disrespecting the message that the author of the song was conveying. Not only that but they are making money off the back off someone else (stealing the song) and using it for their own message

who gives a fuck about tradition, tradition changes all the time and just cause something is tradition doesn't make it a good thing. and is the author even alive? is the song ever under copy right? if not there hurting no one.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Romance is dead in their poor, poor hearts

Nothing screams "Holiday Romancin'" like just walking up to someone and grabbing them right in the pussy. I don't even ask! They just let me!
