I've been reading 'Candy Girl: A Year In The Life Of An Unlikely Stripper' by Diablo Cody, who was just Oscar-nominated for writing 'Juno.' Like 'Juno,' the memoir is slangy, witty fun.
Early on in the book, Cody offers an annotated list of The Ten Best Songs To Strip To. I'm not going to quote all her commentary, but here are the songs:
Any hip-swiveling R&B fuckjam. This category includes The Greatest Stripping Song of All Time: 'Remix To Ignition' by R. Kelly 'Purple Rain' Prince 'Honky-Tonk Woman' The Rolling Stones 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' Def Leppard 'Amber' 311 'Miserable' Lit 'Back Door Man' The Doors 'Back In Black' AC/DC 'I Touch Myself' The Divinyls 'Hash Pipe' Weezer
I will not assume that there are any A) professional topless dancers, or B) regular visitors to strip clubs among the MOGommunity, but I will guess that as people who incorporate music into most aspects of your lives, you may have given some thought to what songs sound stripperish.
I will start the ball rolling by nominating 'The Moneymaker' from the most recent Rilo Kiley album, kind of obvious given the porno milieu of the accompanying video, but even without the visuals, it seems like an anthem for girls who work the pole.

Is Randy Newman's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" too obvious?

A friend and former house-mate of mine used to take pole-dancing classes. After her classes, she would tell me how hard it is because you have to have strong arms, legs and thighs and also powerful abs as they're essential when you flip over upside down and spin. She used to say: I've got total respect for pole-dancers. (C. is a lovely lady and a social worker).
I should have asked what songs they were playing in her classes. Can I go for "Psychokiller?"Then of course, there's Prince's "Darling Nikki," obvious but classic.

The first time I ever went to a strip club, one of the dancers used the song "I'm Straight" by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers. Weird, on a couple levels. But mainly because it seems like that song would be a challenge to dance provocatively to... non? I honestly don't know what music I would choose if I was an exotic dancer. Probably vintage burlesque standards or something.

I always liked when the song was innocent , like say Candy Girl by New Edition.

How could any male resist reading this? Ignoring the theme you set up, I just want to say that this is yet another great track I've heard from Under The Blacklight. Gotta get this. I blame YOU!

Great to see and hear Rick James! Can a video be made any cheaper? In the same vein I'd be happy watching clothes come off to 'Give It To Me Baby' - Rick's bass playing on that is perfect. Back in my Lost Years in LA period my girlfriend's landlady swore by The Doors as great stripping music.

Oh well, since you asked :)
