I seem to recall it being used whenever such a woman makes an appearance. I recall it typically sounding like a trumpet with a mute, going something like this:
waaa wa-waaa waaa wa-waaa waaa waaa
Granny actually sang this on an ep of “Beverly Hillbillies” but the only words I could remember were “dance hall” at the end of that line. I’m assuming she was actually singing the real lyrics, and that they weren’t just made up for the program.
Any oldies experts???
Are you talking about that piece called “Stripper”?
For an example, go here:

and check out the first sample.
Are you talking about the “stripper” music? Kind of like: Da da daaaa, dida da daaaaa. Da da daaa, dida da da da da. Da babump Dida babump Dida babump Dida babump Dida dida daaaa, daaa dida da.
Most definitely not. But thanks.
Darn! Missed it by THAT much…
I’ve been thinking about this…could it be the music associated with “Little Egypt”, the belly dancer from the 1904 World’s Fair? Kind of like: Doodle doo doo doo doodle doodle doodle doo…
I just remembered the lyrics we used to sing to this when I was a kid!
“There’s a club in France, where the naked ladies dance…”
That’s funny jayjay, we always sang:
“There’s a place in France where the ladies wear no pants/and a hole in the wall where the boys can see it all.”
It’s the first few bars of Frankie and Johnny.
Aww, I just missed it. 
Actually, it’s a really jazzy version of “Frankie and Johnny”.
Dammit! Now that it’s been identified, I can hear it in my head…if I could have done that before, I could’ve identified it! :mad:
The version we sang was
Oh I’m Cleo from the Nile
And I live in elegant style
And I swing a pair of wicked hips
And I drink my beer in little sips
Warner Brothers cartoons often used “The Lady in Red” to indicate the same thing.
Carl Stalling used *The Lady in Red * so often in WB cartoons that it became something of an inhouse joke in the animation department.
*Frankie and Johnny * was used a lot by Tex Avery.
God, I’m old. That used to be the music from the “Aqua Velva” after-shave commercials.
Someone shoot me now, please.
In our neighborhood it was “There’s a place in France where the ladies wear no pants/and the men don’t care 'cause they’ve got no underwear…”
Are you sure it was after-shave?
In my distant recollection, I recall the woman in the commercial huskily murmuring, “Take it off. Take it all off,” as the guy shaves.
Or maybe I’m conflating two different commercials in my memory.
No, you’re right…I realized later that it was a commercial for Noxema shaving cream (I think)…
I listened to the first track. And the second. And the third.
And … what is it with stripper music and trombone glissandoes? When I hear a trombone glissando, I think of either (A) a drunk guy trying and failing to walk straight, or (B) someone slipping on a banana peel. When did they get associated with exhibitionist women?
When someone asks for an ID, and then doesn’t respond?
Many thanks, Uvula Donor for having pegged it from a pretty poor description.
