I had a friend that loved to dance to Bob Seger - **Night Moves** and **Turn the Page**. She said the crowd LOVED songs that reminded them of their youth. ---

Really, though, a serious suggestion, inspired by another thread: _Living Dead Girl_ - By Rob Zombie. Lyrically it’s monmument to perversion, but musically, I can’t think of a more perfect stripper tune. It’s got a mid-tempo, pulsating, pelvis-grindng beat to it, a halting, sort of rough coital syncopation in places, in addition to well-timed periodic pauses that fall headlong back into the main beat. It’s carnally sexual in its construction, and if you can ignore the undead aspect of the lyrics, that could be the basis for some pretty hot dancing. ---

I would think anything by Portishead, Lovage, or Garbage would be great for slower, sensual stripping. The last time I went to a strip club, all they played was horrible nu-metal. The girls were beautiful, but I’m such a music snob that the DJ’s horrible choices took away from some of my enjoyment. ---

Now that I think about it, _The Dope Show_ by Marilyn Manson fits pretty well into the depraved-but-musically-perfect catagory. ---

Lords Of Acid - Rough Sex Lords Of Acid - I Sit On Acid (probably any of the songs from Lust) Dead Can Dance - Rakim Dead Can Dance - Cantara My all time favorite, though I don’t know if it would work as well for a female, heh - Man2Man - Male Stripper ---

Anyone seen **Exotica**? If you have, then you know that Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows” is the one true answer. Mmmm, Mia Kirshner. ---

Songs I would enjoy hearing at a strip club and which have a good beat for dancing: “Feel the Heat” Power Station “Roam” B-52s (It would be fun to watch a stripper TRYING to dance to Rock Lobster. I also think “Love Shack” would be thematically great, but there are a few breaks that could be awkward) “Man in the Box” NIN That grinding back-beat was made for slinky hip thursts “Little Sister” Stevie Ray Vaughn “If the House is a Rockin’ (Don’t Bother Knockin’)” Stevie Ray Vaughn And here’s one by Cyndi Lauper that’d work: “She-Bop” ---

Well, it _is_ on the album “American Made Music To Strip By”. Almost as suitable as “Top Of The World” by The Carpenters. 😃 ---
