Many activist groups have targeted the popular winter classic “Baby It’s Cold Outside” as an artifact of rape culture, citing lyrics that hint at a date rape.

As a result, many radio stations have banned the song and replaced it in on popular rotations with the rap classic, “DaMn, Bit¢h It FreeZin!” by Lil Wayne and Beyonce.

“‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ is literally rape-culture propaganda,” Debbie Foret of Womyn Against All Art Acceptance (WAAAA) said. “We’re much better off listening to popular hip-hops about actual domestic violence and rape than that oppressive song.”

“Baby It’s Cold Outside” has been criticized for its lyrics in which a man tries to convince a woman to stay at his place longer for fear that she’ll catch pneumonia out in the blizzard and die.

“DaMn, Bit¢h It FreeZin!” on the other hand contains detailed lyrics of an actual rape, but since it is sung by minorities, it’s okay according to the activists.

“And,” Foret added, “‘Baby’ was written by a white male! How rapey can you get?”

Lyrics for “DaM, Bit¢h It B FreeZin!”

(Verse 1)
Yo, it’s chilly in this motherf*n place,
But I ain’t talkin’ ’bout the weather’s cold embrace,
Got the fireplace burnin’, girl, take a seat,
But this ain’t your grandma’s cozy retreat.

I offer you a sip, not from a hot cocoa cup,
It’s a spicy mix, gonna warm yo ass up,
I know it’s frosty outside, snow on the ground,
But inside, it’s heated, got that DaM sound.

(Chorus)
DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Take off that dress, got no time for teasin’!
Got the fire, got the heat,
Forget the snow, let’s crank up the beat.

DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Tell me no and you gonna take a beatin.
Turn the thermostat up to eleven,
It’s gettin’ steamy, girl, we in rap heaven.

(Verse 2)
Your coat’s cute, but let’s lose it fast,
I got something to warm you up, and it ain’t gonna last,
The wind’s howlin’ outside, but in this joint,
We’re turnin’ up the heat, it’s on point.

I got you a blanket, but it’s not for snugglin’,
It’s for breakin’ stereotypes, no jugglin’,
The fire’s cracklin’, the vinyl’s spinnin’,
Baby, it’s not cold – it’s the game we’re winnin’.

(Chorus)
DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Take off that dress, got no time for teasin’!
Got the fire, got the heat,
Forget the snow, let’s crank up the beat.

DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Tell me no and you gonna take a beatin.
Turn the thermostat up to eleven,
It’s gettin’ steamy, girl, we in rap heaven.

(Bridge)
I see you shiverin’, not from the cold,
It’s the DaM vibe, got your temperature bold,
No need for icicles, just heat and desire,
The forecast might say frost, but we’re setting it on fire.

(Verse 3)
We’re breakin’ the ice, but we ain’t skatin’,
In this winter wonderland, love, we’re navigatin’,
So forget ’bout the snowplows, the frosty breeze,
In this DaM version, we do what we please.

You got that fire, girl, no need for mittens,
The way you move, it’s hotter than hell’s kitchens,
So when you say it’s cold outside, girl, please,
Inside this rap, it’s a tropical tease.

(Chorus)
DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Take off that dress, got no time for teasin’!
Got the fire, got the heat,
Forget the snow, let’s crank up the beat.

DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’!
Tell me no and you gonna take a beatin.
Turn the thermostat up to eleven,
It’s gettin’ steamy, girl, we in rap heaven.

(Outro)
So, baby, it’s cold outside, but it’s lit within,
DaM, bit¢h it b freezin’ – let the raunchy rap begin!
