Ok, it’s [derivative](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=11171195#post11171195) We have the good stripper songs… which ones should we scratch? My suggestion: [The Alabama Song (David Bowie)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNCEURBYEGo) a woman could strip to the wedding march and it would be ok, so let’s stick to at least mildly ironic tune names. ---

> [@SiXSwordS](#): > > a woman could strip to the wedding march and it would be ok I see I already mentioned the [“Here Comes the Bride” strip scene](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8761496&postcount=54) from _Splitting Heirs_ a coupla years ago. ---

[The Mos Eisley Cantina song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YSF5SfqF2o) from Star Wars. I actually saw a stripper using it. I laughed as soon as I heard it. She looked a bit hurt until I explained, when she said, “Yeah, I told the DJ not to use that one.” ---

My ex once took me to an adult video store attached to a strip club. I was too scared to go in, so we didn’t. Inside you could hear the DJ introducing a dancer while playing “[Short Dick Man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX380vS_Mzs)” by 20 Fingers. (I’m kind of surprised anyone bothered to make a music video for this song, let alone stripped to it) ---

I used to use [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4eMrqYvSYA). The other girls hated it. 🙂 (Link goes to video that is not the original, but has the studio audio track.) ---

> [@MerryMagdalen](#): > > I used to use [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4eMrqYvSYA). The other girls hated it. 🙂 Classic! At least that is a good song to dance to. I can’t imagine someone dancing to “Don’t stand so close to me” or “Not a pretty girl” Maybe “Mother” by either the Police or Pink Floyd… ---

In the movie “One, Two, Three” (1961), the lovely Liselotte Pulver does a sorta striptease to the [Plate Spinning Music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ-lltA-hIo&feature=PlayList&p=0D8CD3869A029558&index=5). It starts around 2:00. ---

I was in a mostly empty strip club outside Philly many years ago, and a dancer put her own money into the jukebox and then gyrated wanly to The Beatles’ “A Day in the Life.” Oh boy. ---

Amazing Grace, Spirit in the Sky, Day By Day The tune of Spirit in the Sky actually wouldn’t be bad stripper music. ---
