Sample lyrics:
when I see a pretty woman walkin’ down the street
I think about you
men look her up and down like she’s some kind of treat
I think about you
she doesn’t dare talk to a stranger
always has to be aware of the danger
oh when I look at this world
I think about you
I think about you
eight years old
blue blue eyes and a heart of gold
when I look at this world I see
every woman used to be
somebody’s little girl
I think about you
Man, I didn’t the thread would make it this far without someone mentioning “Lola”, by the Kinks.
One would think that “Smack My Bitch Up” would be wildly inappropriate, yet dancers at one club I know of actually ask the DJ to play it.
I’m having real trouble thinking of any Beatles songs that would sound right for a stripper to dance to, but can imagine a bunch of Stones songs without half trying. Says something, I guess, but I’m not sure what.
Speaking of Star Wars, what about “The Imperial March” or “Duel of the Fates”? Or better yet, the original celebration song from Return of the Jedi, with the Ewoks?
What about “Roll Out the Barrel”, or any other polka? Complete with accordions!
Well, I did see this stripper once who could shoot ping-pong balls across the room…
And to combine two of Guin’s suggestions, here’s a performance I actually witnessed. This was at a rather seedy place in Tokyo, so I guess neither the dancer nor the audience ('cept me) knew what the lyrics really were:
An extremely raunchy dance and simulated sex performed to… This Here Anakin Guy, Weird Al Yankovic’s parody of “American Pie”. An extremely attractive young woman fellating another dancer’s strap-on to the beat of “soon I’m gonna be a Jedi…” It was a sight to behold.
“Love Is A Fist” - Mr. Bungle
“My Ass Is On Fire” - Mr. Bungle
“Egg” - Mr. Bungle
Hell, lots of things by Mr. Bungle.
“Like Suicide” - Soundgarden
“Whitey Ford Sings The Blues” - Everlast
“Working In A Coal Mine” - Devo
“Institutionalized” - Suicidal Tendencies
Anything by Neil Young, Especially his acoustic stuff. I like him in general, but that voice is NOT sexy. The way he whines - okay, he’s almost always whiney, but when he’s not rocking, it’s worse - not a turn on.
we’re only making plans for nigel by XTC theme to the Alexei Sayle show - its the same as the Mickey Mouse one, but ALE-XEI SAYLE Pyramid Song by Radiohead, simply because i’d enjoy anybody trying to dance to that Babe, i’m on fire by Nick Cave:14mins46secs! Little Trouble Girl by Sonic Youth
Back in the real world, apparently Closer by NIN is the most danced to strip song ever.
