A literal description of my state of mind
A literal description of my state of mind
Back in April I put up a little quickie post about stripper music and the comments keep trickling in. Never one to leave off beating a dead horse, here's what we've got so far:
Feel Like Making Love - Bad Company
South City Midnight Lady - Doobie Brothers
Dreadlock Holiday - 10cc
Sharp Dressed Man -ZZTop
Come Together -The Beatles
Feel Like a Woman -Shania Twain
Welcome to Jungle - Guns N' Roses
Cut the Cake - Average White Band
Love to Love You Baby -Donna Summer
Crazy On You - Heart

Indus - Dead Can Dance
Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group
Rocket Queen - Guns N' Roses
Oh Bondage, Up Yours! - X-Ray Spex
The Roars Of The Masses Could Be Farts - the Minutemen.
These next few are jokes. I hope. I don't know if my universe is big enough to contain a place where these might be used:
Polka Your Brains Out - Weird Al
The William Tell Overture
Amazing Grace (with real pipes)
Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby Ferrin
Back to seriousness:

Cherry Pie - Warrant
Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard
Lick- from the movie XXX soundtrack

"i like dancing to mairlyn manson songs the best"
Possum Kingdom - The Toadies
Engel - Rammstein
Stripped - Rammstein
Fire - Ohio Players (this suggestion gets a hearty "Hell Yeah" from me!)
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Emotions in Motion - Billy Squier

Britney Spears - Breathe On Me
Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
Come Together - Aerosmith (cover)
Darling Nikki - Prince
Lap Dance - Nerd
I've stripped out most of the commentary (no pun intended), which alone is worth a quick read. We've heard from guys and ladies, both spectators and dancers, and this is nice mix of music, suitable for all occasions. Assuming of course, that having a pole dancing lovely as the entertainment is suitable for the occasion. As far as I'm concerned, they always are.
So I'll ask again, what music have you seen that really worked? What music would you like to see used?
Even better, script a five song "set" and post it in the comments.

Yes. That would be nice!

Posted by: hrod at February 25, 2005 09:53 AMGood choice hrod!
Posted by: Ted at February 25, 2005 10:31 AMI have many self-made (self-help?) CDs that I like to call the "F-me" series -- f-me now, hard, slow, etc.
But I can talk stripper music, having been in quite a number of titty bars (girls appreciate hot girls too!). To this day, when I hear the following songs on the radio, I am transported back to Club Edison in Pittsburgh:
1. Cinnamon Girl -- Type O Negative
2. Alive -- Godsmack
3. From Your Mouth -- God Lives Underwater
4. Control -- Puddle of Mudd
5. Sex Type Thing -- Stone Temple Pilots
Damn. I need to go change my undies. ;)

Posted by: Shawn Lea at February 25, 2005 11:08 PMAnd now a list from someone who was in the business :)
Here were the ones that worked best for me:
Cherry Pie- Warrant
Addicted to Love- Robert Palmer (good for pole work)
Born to Raise Hell- Motorhead
Are You Ready For the Sex Girls- Gleaming Spires
and of course
You Can Leave Your Hat On- Tom Jones
