So the assumption is that "stay" automatically implies forced non-consensual sex. That's a pretty giant leap for anyone who isn't so mentally disfunctional that they assume everything is literally rape. I'm morbidly curious about what these idiots think are the implied intentions behind the lyrics of a lot of old school rap.

No, generally it is the line "Say what's in this drink?" that leads then to the conclusion that it is date rape (along with "At least I'm gonna say that I tried"). I joke about it being the date rape song because honestly it is a little creepy and pretty obvious he is trying to get her drunk enough to stay and fuck him. But that song is just pretty boring to be honest.

Sure we'll just get old Dean Martin in here to do another take.
When you change the lyrics, as far as I care, you are singing a different song. If the lyric is better, great. If you're singing it because your a spineless little mouthpiece and too piss-scared to upset the SJW bullies, GTFO. /shrug I like Michael Buble/Idena Mensel version because I saw the video for it at the same time I heard it. It's two little kids singing in a hotel lobby and they're cute kids. It's a cute video. Totally changed the lyrics Kids-Bop style, but I'm okay with it because it fit what I was watching.

I heard this song on the radio the other night and I knew this was going to happen.
What people need to remember is the context of this song and the time when it was written. A young lady out on an unchaperoned date. The whole idea of the song is that she wants to stay with him but is worried about what the neighbours would say, that he dad will be mad, that there will be gossip - she never says she wants to leave because the guy is creeping her out. The guy knows she wants to stay and is helping her to come up with objections to all of the things she's worried about.
This song is sweet, about a young couple and, if anything, could be construed as a women's lib song than anything else - why does she need to go home at a certain time, in a snowstorm, or worry about the neighbours calling her a slut? She should be able to stay with her sweetheart inside where it's nice and warm and enjoy each other's company. But, like everything else that gets filtered through sick liberal extremist minds, it becomes a twisted rape fantasy.
Also, there was no date-rape-drug in the 1940's. Idiots.
