Baby, it 's Cold Outside - wikipedia Baby, it 's Cold Outside `` Baby, It 's Cold Outside '' Song Written 1944 Songwriter ( s ) Frank Loesser For other works with this title, see Baby, It 's Cold Outside ( disambiguation ). `` Baby, It 's Cold Outside '' is a song written by Frank Loesser in 1944. It is a call and response duet in which one of the singers ( usually performed by a male voice ) attempts to convince a guest ( usually performed by a female voice ) that they should stay together for a romantic evening because the weather is cold and the trip home would be difficult. Originally recorded for the film Neptune 's Daughter, it has been recorded by many artists since its original release, including Ray Charles, Dolly Parton and Michael Bublé.

Loesser would introduce himself as the `` Evil of Two Loessers '', a play on the theme of the song, trying to keep the girl from leaving, and on the phrase `` lesser of two evils ''. This was a period when the Hollywood elite 's chief entertainment was throwing parties and inviting guests who were expected to perform. Garland wrote that after the first performance, `` We become instant parlor room stars. We got invited to all the best parties for years on the basis of ' Baby. ' It was our ticket to caviar and truffles. Parties were built around our being the closing act. '' Garland considered it their song and was furious when Loesser told her he was selling the song. Garland wrote, `` I felt as betrayed as if I 'd caught him in bed with another woman. '' Lyrics The lyrics in this duet are designed to be heard as a conversation between two people, identified as `` mouse '' ( usually female ) and `` wolf '' ( usually male ) on the printed score ; they have returned to the wolf 's home after a date, and the mouse decides it is time to go home, but the wolf flirtatiously invites the mouse to stay as it is late and `` it 's cold outside. '' The mouse wants to stay and enjoy herself, but feels obligated to return home, worried what family and neighbors will think if she stays. Every line in the song features a statement from the mouse followed by a response from the wolf, which is musically known as a call and response song. Although some critical analyses of the song have highlighted parts of the lyrics such as `` What 's in this drink ? '' and the wolf 's unrelenting pressure to stay despite the mouse 's repeated suggestions that she should go home, others noted that cultural expectations of the time period were such that women were not socially permitted to spend the night with a boyfriend or fiance, and that the mouse states that she wants to stay, while `` What 's in this drink ? '' was a common idiom of the period used to rebuke social expectations by blaming one 's actions on the influence of alcohol. Publication In 1948, after years of informally performing the song at various parties, Loesser sold the rights to MGM, which inserted the song into its 1949 motion picture, Neptune 's Daughter. The film featured two performances of the song : one by Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams and the other by Red Skelton and Betty Garrett, the second of which has the roles of wolf and mouse reversed. These performances earned Loesser an Academy Award for Best Original Song. In at least one published version the tempo of the song is given as `` Loesserando '', a humorous reference to the composer 's name. 1949 recordings The following versions were recorded in 1949 : The recording by Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark was recorded on March 17 and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 38463.
