Christmas classic Baby It's Cold Outside will no longer be played on some Canadian radio stations amid concerns over what some people say are inappropriate lyrics in the wake of the MeToo movement.

On Tuesday, a handful of all-Christmas music stations owned by Canadian broadcasters, including Corus Entertainment, Bell Media, Rogers and CBC Radio, said the 1940s song will not be played during its holiday programming.

The CBC said Tuesday while it recognizes "Song lyrics are always open to interpretation," the broadcaster won't play the holiday song.

Corus Entertainment won't air the song on its five holiday format stations across the country.

Two years ago, Minnesota couple Lydia Liza and Josiah Lemanski rewrote the lyrics to include lines about consent, such as a response to the woman's line "I ought to say no, no, no" with the man saying: "You reserve the right to say no."

Canadian music journalist and Corus Radio personality Alan Cross chimed in on the tune, "defending what many consider a song that many find offensive.
