It's not a rapey song. Yes, to modern us it sounds like it was made by Dennis Reynolds, but no it's not. Before looking too deeply at the lyrics, just ask yourself first, "does it make any sense you write a Christmas duet about raping a woman?" No, it doesn't. It's a playful song about making excuses to stay together longer. It's kind of a crap song anyway, so I'm not even saying this to defend a sign I like; I'd be happy to never hear it again.

You are correct about this song, but keep in mind, one of the most popular wedding songs is "Every Breath You Take", a song about stalking someone. So, I could def see a duet being made like that.
