What about The Stripper?
Perhaps, it would have been a while ago. I thought that the defeatist submissive lyrics could make for a really good striptease, if you are going for that style. Definitely a darker way of approaching it though.
You’re right. Rather than “fun and flirty,” I should have said something like “dangerous and sexy.”
Terrific suggestions, though not as terrific as Darling Nikki by Prince.

Most of the album Lust, by Lords of Acid. I particularly like the beginning line of “I Sit on Acid:” “Darling, come here #^¢* me up the . . .”
“Principles of Lust,” Enigma. Would require editing since it’s over 11 minutes.
“Confusion,” by New Order. Hey, the scene in Blade that used it featured Traci Lords, how much more sexy do you want?
I guess I favor electronic music for dance/stripping. 
For ironic, you could go with “A Lap Dance is So Much Better (when the stripper is crying)” by the Bloodhound Gang.
“I’m a …” by Berlin
Pretty much any random song by The Divinyls (But “Touch Myself” comes to mind)
“Lovefool” by The Cardigans
Try stripping to something by GWAR.
Any number of songs from the first or second album by Enigma.
“Little Bird” by Jimmy Hendrix
“Little Wing”? And I think Stevie Ray Vaughn’s instrumental cover blows Jimi’s version out of the water.
I came here to post the same thing. There is no sexier music than that produced by P-Head. I second “Glory Box,” and would also offer up “Humming.”
I’ve stripped to it, and to the Concrete Blonde version. They work well for it because of the sound (most guys aren’t paying attention to the lyrics).
Almost anything by Enigma is good, especially Mea Culpa (if you can find the Fading Shades mix, it’s hot as hell) and Sadeness and Return to Innocense.
World In My Eyes by Depeche Mode
More and Lucretia, My Reflection by Sisters of Mercy.
Young Lust and Run Like Hell from Pink Floyd.
I’m gonna second “I Feel You” by Depeche Mode, but also add: get the “Helmet at the Helm” mix.
by U2: Even Better than the Real Thing, Mysterious Ways, Lemon, and Numb are all sexy to strip to.
Thunderkiss 65 by White Zombie.
Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde was always one of my favorites.
I’m also gonna second Darling Nikki by Prince–that one was probably the one that I got the most stage tips for.
I’ll also throw out Depeche Mode’s “I want you now”.
Most of the tracks on the album Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By by the supergroup Lovage would also make great stripping (or sex) music. It’s very sensual, sexy trip-top (similar I guess to Massive Attack or Portishead), with sultry male and female vocal interplay by growly Mike Patton (of Mr. Bungle and Faith No More fame) and sex-kittenish Jennifer Charles (of Elysian Fields).
Of course ya know I meant “trip-hop” rather than “trip-top.”
Okay, “Lapdance” by N.E.R.D.
I’d love to DJ at a strip club for a week. Hell, I’d love to be in a strip club for a week.
