Speaking to Fox News, the actor – who is also a singer – said that he thinks the matter is "going a little far."
"It's kind of innocent, really," the Dennis Quaid and the Sharks frontman told Fox News on Thursday. "It was written in the '40s and there's nothing predatory about it. It's sort of just the relationship between men and women, you know? That's all."

Last month, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" made headlines after a radio station in Ohio pulled it from its lineup after a listener expressed concern over the song’s lyrics.
According to Fox 8, WDOK Christmas 102.1 removed the tune after one listener called the radio station and suggested it’s not appropriate to play the 1940’s classic in 2018.
“It wasn't really our decision," WDOK host Desiray told the outlet at the time. "It's the decision of our listeners."

The daughter of singer Dean Martin, who arguably sang the most famous version of the Christmas classic, spoke out against the backlash earlier this month telling Fox News she was "absolutely flabbergasted" when she heard about the criticism.
"It’s just insane. When I heard it, I said, ‘This can’t possibly be.’ You know, it’s a sweet, flirty, fun holiday song that’s been around for 40 years for my dad. He did it in ’59. But when I saw it, I tweeted, ‘I think this is crazy. What do you think?’ And then all of a sudden, it went viral," Deana Martin told us earlier this week.
