It's Cold Outside

Queers · Pleasant Screams [2002]

[Originally by The Choir]



well the world used to be sunny

and jokes used to be funny

but now you're gone

and everything's turned around



well the world used to be warm

and there never was a storm

but now you're gone and

everythings turned upside down



and now it's cold outside

and the rain is pouring down

and the leaves are turning brown

can't you see

that now it's cold outside

and it's all because of you

'cause there's nothing i can do

to make you love me

It's Cold Outside

Queers' "It's Cold Outside" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of punk energy and theatrical absurdity. Released on their 2002 album *Pleasant Screams*, the track exemplifies the group's ability to transform mundane or nonsensical themes into high-octane performances. The song captures the chaotic spirit of the late 1990s and early 2000s underground scene, where Queers pushed the boundaries of traditional song structures with their unique vocal harmonies and frenetic rhythm sections. As part of their broader discography, the recording reflects the band's commitment to creating memorable, often bizarre musical experiences that have cemented their legacy in the alternative rock landscape.
