Most of us would think "here we go again" about yet another Christmas controversy. The latest one is a song that dates all the way back to 1944, and it has been covered by numerous artists since that time.

If the song had been produced in 2018, we'd all be outraged because of the revelations of the MeToo movement. However, I think its necessary to use a little context here. At the time of its release, the song was considered to be "flirty" and non-controversial, and it was still considered that many years later.
In a way, it reminds me of the hysteria over Mark Twin's use of the word "n....." more than 200 times in Huck Finn, Had the book been produced today, it would generate howls of protest, but it should be an acceptable book do to the fact that it accurately represents how people talked at that period of time.
"Huck Finn" was first banned in March of 1885, a month after its publication, and it has managed to be banned by someone pretty much every year after that, and it is STILL one of the top 100 banned books, even today. Some of the other books on the list will make you scratch your head, since they seem fairly tame to me.

I stumbled on the video below this afternoon. If you watch the entire thing, you'll notice that there is a dramatic role reversal at the end that will likely bring a smile to your face:
