The original song won an Academy Award in 1949 after Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban performed it in the film Neptune’s Daughter
The song, written by Frank Loesser in 1944, is a duet that has a man trying to convince a woman to stay overnight at his home on a cold winter’s night.Gone are such lines as, “Gosh, your lips look delicious,” sung by the man, and “Say, what’s in this drink?” by the woman. They've been replaced by lyrics like:
“What will my friends think (I think they should rejoice)
If I have one more drink? (It’s your body, and your choice.)”
