Christmas songs should not feel creepy

The Michael Buble/Idina Menzel version of "Baby It's Cold Outside" is particularly offputting when there's two lines of dialogue:
Menzel: You sure are pushy
Buble: I like to think of it as 'opportunistic'.
It's bad enough when you realize the song is about date rape, but that line by Buble essentially puts a positive spin on it.
You might think it too early for discussing Christmas songs, but my radio station for some odd reason decided it would be nice to play them 24/7 after Veterans' Day
