“Having My Baby” was the first thing that popped into my head. I have no idea why. Was that Paul Anka? ---

[QUOTE=panache45] Anything sung by the Muppets [/QUOTE] Kermit singing “Lydia the Tattooed Lady” might work…with the right stripper. I nominate pretty much anything from the O Brother soundtrack (with the exception, of course, of “Didn’t Leave Nobody but the Baby.” Yow). Also Rasputina’s “The Donner Party.” ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] How far out can we get? [/QUOTE] The Bridal March. :eek: There isn’t enough therapy available in the Northern Hemisphere to help someone twisted enough to pole-dance to that song (or to anyone who’d drink beer and hoot/holler at someone stripping to it). ---

Well, in “Exotica” there’s a stripper who dances to Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows” which I thought would be awful … and it kinda is. She’s not a very good dancer anyway. “Dress Rehearsal Rag” by Leonard Cohen, however, would be even worse. “Avalanche” by Leonard Cohen would also suck. ---

I actually did see a stripper perform once to “Zombie” by the Cranberries, back when that song was getting airplay. I honestly can’t think of a more inappropriate song to strip to. ---

I once actually saw someone dance to Ave Satani (or however it is spelled), that creepy music from the Omen and often used in trailers for other freaky films. It was the DJ, not the dancer’s choice. Not sure what he was trying to say. ---

well, if it’s a straight club [this one](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2104159655449856514&q=gay+bar&total=6055&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0)(gay bar, electric six) would be rather odd… Then again, [When The Tigers Broke Free](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biAtdDJv0t0&mode=related&search=) would provide, well, very little, opportunity for any kind of dancing.
