Homer And Jethro Baby, It'S Cold Outside
Homer and Jethro's 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'
Homer and Jethro, otherwise known as the comedy duo of Henry D. Haynes and Kenneth C. Burns, were two of the most successful country music comedians of all time. Their comedy was based on their own interpretations of popular songs, including their classic rendition of the holiday classic, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”.
The Song
Originally written by Frank Loesser in 1944, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is a duet between a man and a woman. The man is trying to convince the woman to stay with him despite the cold weather outside. Homer and Jethro’s version of the song parodies this situation, with the man trying to convince the woman to stay with him despite the cold weather.
The Lyrics
Homer and Jethro’s version of the song alters the lyrics to fit their comedic style. Instead of the man trying to convince the woman to stay, he is trying to convince her to leave. The woman is reluctant to leave, and the man is trying to use any means necessary to convince her to go. The lyrics are full of puns and jokes, making it a hilarious rendition of the classic song.
The Performance
Homer and Jethro’s performance of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” was one of their most popular songs. Their performance was full of energy and humor, with the two comedians bouncing off each other and the audience. The performance was so popular that it was recorded and released as a single in 1951, where it became a hit and has since become a holiday classic.
Conclusion
Homer and Jethro’s version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is a classic rendition of the holiday song. Their comedic take on the lyrics and their energetic performance make it a timeless classic that will be enjoyed for years to come.
