In the film Neptune's Daughter, the song is first performed by Ricardo Montalbán and Esther Williams, then with a comic parody twist by Betty Garrett and Red Skelton: this time the man wants to leave and the woman is the host and wants him to stay. The lyrics consist of the host trying to convince the guest that she should stay for a romantic evening because he fears her getting too cold outside, despite the fact that she feels she should return home to her concerned family and neighbors. Every line in the song features a statement from the guest followed by a response from the host. The song is a call and response duet between two people, a host (called "Wolf" in the score, usually performed by a male singer) and a guest (called "Mouse", usually performed by a female). The song won the 1950 Academy Award for Best Original Song. Garland was furious: "I felt as betrayed as if I'd caught him in bed with another woman."

We got invited to all the best parties for years on the basis of 'Baby.' It was our ticket to caviar and truffles. Garland has written that after the first performance, "We became instant parlor room stars. They sang the song to indicate to guests that it was time to leave. In 1944, Loesser wrote "Baby, It's Cold Outside" to sing with his wife, Lynn Garland, at their housewarming party in New York City at the Navarro Hotel. 7.2 Brett Eldredge and Meghan Trainor versionĭuring the 1940s, whenever Hollywood celebrities with vocal talents attended parties, they were expected to perform songs.7.1 Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé version.6.13.2 Brett Eldredge and Meghan Trainor version.6.13.1 Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé version.6.12 John Legend and Kelly Clarkson version.6.11 Brett Eldredge and Meghan Trainor version.6.10 Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé version.6.9 Kelly Clarkson and Ronnie Dunn version.6.6 Willie Nelson and Norah Jones version.6.4 Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan version.6.3 Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews version.6.2 Ray Charles and Betty Carter version.
