The song Baby It’s Cold Outside is now considered the outcast of Christmas tunes. Miley Cyrus recently introduced a fresh take on Santa Baby, where she jokingly requested less explicit text messages and inappropriate touching. During her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the 26-year-old singer playfully critiqued the traditional lyrics of the song in a holiday-themed skit.
Miley Cyrus made a plea to stop sending explicit photos while performing a revamped feminist rendition of Santa Baby on a Jimmy Fallon skit. She criticized the lyrics of the original song, questioning the need for items like a fur sable. Instead, she humorously asked for a car, a yacht, checks, and even the deed to a platinum mine. With a quick revision of the lyrics, Miley belted out her version of the song, turning down fancy jewelry and presents while Jimmy Fallon sheepishly withdrew a diamond necklace.
Modernized: On Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show, the 26-year-old guest appeared in a festive sketch with the host. She humorously pointed out her disapproval of the old-fashioned lyrics used in the Christmas-themed skit.
Santa darling: “Am I implying that I’ll get cozy with Santa if he splurges on these gifts?” she wondered aloud. “I’m not after diamonds, cash, or stocks / nothing that comes wrapped in a box. No more fluff, I’ve had my fill / I can purchase my own things,” she declared confidently, as the crowd cheered in agreement.
“Santa darling, I’ve got a stunning car on my own, no loans / I earned it all on my own, Santa darling / without any assistance from Elf on the Shelf.” As the song progressed, Miley veered into slightly risqué territory, urging Father Christmas to put an end to any unwanted advances.
Flying by the seat of her pants, Miley began performing her revised song without giving the host any chance to review her changes. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Mark Ronson attempted to keep pace with the fresh lyrics being sung in the background.
“Sugarplum, I’m not into flashy jewelry, nope / I’ve got a different request in mind, dear Santa / and I’m not interested in your gifts tonight,” she crooned, causing Jimmy to reconsider giving her the diamond necklace he had in hand.
Instead of desiring material things like diamonds or cash, she confidently expressed that she doesn’t need anyone to buy things for her. She insisted that what she truly values is equal pay for women, rather than material possessions. Just as she was about to continue her powerful message, the skit was abruptly interrupted by a phone call on Ronson’s phone. Despite the disruption, Miley defiantly finished her song, making it clear that she expects to be treated with respect and not subjected to harassment in the workplace. The message was clear: it’s time for change and for men to stop behaving inappropriately towards women.
Clowns: While playfully positioning the trinkets on the tree in a somewhat mischievous arrangement, Miley wrapped up her musical performance.
Excuse me: “Santa darling, I wish for assurance that my personal space will be respected at my workplace, and no one will disrespect me. I urge those with bad intentions to refrain from their inappropriate behavior. Please understand, Santa, it’s time to put an end to such actions tonight.”
