LOL I just realised I can hum or whistle the song, but theres no words…

It’s the generic burlesque theme type song they always use in commercials and any time they need a stripper or burlesque reference…

What’s the name/composer/artist?

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s “The Stripper” by David Rose.
