Well, the first bachelor party, they did. The second, they didn’t. I just want to be prepared. And no, I don’t remember what songs they played…other things going on… ---

Loreena McKennitt has a lot of good stripper songs. Kind of Middle Eastern. “Marco Polo” is a good one. Madonna: Candy Perfume Girl Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson and Clover DJ Krush and Deborah Anderson - Skin Against Skin (this is on the La Femme Nikita soundtrack) That’s all I can think of right now. ---

Godsmack - Voodoo. I don’t care too much for the song, but it works perfectly for stripping, I’m told. ---

For some reason, **Here Comes the Rain Again** by the Eurythmics always seemed like a good stripper song to me. Very sultry, smoky, with a seductive beat. ---

If some 70’s funk isn’t out of the question, “Fire,” “Skin Tight,” and/or “Love Rollercoaster,” all by the The Ohio Players. (Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if their big album was inspired at least in part by going to strippers.) The Happy Mondays made big, stupid, beat-happy party music: “Step On,” “Kinky Afro,” “Mad Cyril,” “Hallelujah (club mix),” etc… The best single stand-alone track I can think of would have to be “Unfinished Sympathy” by Massive Attack. I can’t imagine this going wrong with either the dancer(s) or audience. Great for a tease by title only: “Totally Nude” by Talking Heads. Not a bad song, but not great stripper fare, either. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > Ozzy Ozbourne - No More Tears Hee. Lord… hee. You do know that song is about killing a stripper/escort, don’t you? Or did I get whooshed? Wouldn’t be the first time, I’m afraid. > [@Eve](#): > > Jane Russell singing “Ain’t There Anyone Here for Love?” from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Trust Eve to try and class up the joint. Woman, we want strippers and poles and Motley Crue and beer. You keep that classy stuff to yourself before people start gettin’ ideas. 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/good-stripper-music/270494.md?page=2)
