Well Dan I'll admit it was less "dancing" than "singing," and less "stripping" than a "wardrobe malfunction," but point being there was "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" and there were nipples, and so I am taking comic license and counting it.

one time, i went to the skyway lounge in DT mpls w.some dudes my roomate at the time worked with.

it was like 4 in the afternoon, and we kinda were doing happy stuff and stopped in on a whim.

we were the only ones there. we kinda sat in the back. except there was one dude sitting up sort of by the stage.

the stripper wasn't even bothering to strip, i guess it was probaby pointless at that time.

she was just sitting on the stage, her legs hanging off the stage...she was topless. drinking a dr. pepper dejectedly, listening to "silent lucidity" by queensryche.

An entire Royal Trux set circa 1992 in Atlanta in some lounge with two stages in the same room - strippers on one stage, band on the other.

― someone (dad a), Friday, 29 September 2006 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Some stupid hip-hop song where they kept bragging about how they've got "skillz." Only problem is, it sounded like they were saying "I've got Skittles."

I asked the stripper if she was dancing around to a song about bite sized fruit candy. She said she had no idea, but we both agreed the song sucked.

I don't think I've ever heard anything besides Rob Zombie in a strip club ever. A free cd of his must come with every poll the club orders.

you know i did date a stripper (very) briefly. no buggery tho. and she helped me on the paper, as it happened.
so my thesis! it was investigatory (IE I WENT TO A STRIP CLUB FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES HA HA ACADEMIC LIFE), i was interested in what DJs did to make the strip club what it is. their role is pretty central, i argued; they do lots of nonmusical stuff, lots of sideshow barker kinds of stuff. anyway, you'll all read it!

i've never been in a strip club proper, though i did see a travelling strip show where all the stripping was to stereotypical eighties music like "cherry pie" and "like a virgin." the fake strippers in _oceans 11_ were dancing to handsome boy modeling school, which seems really doubtful.

― Squirrel_Police (Squirrel_Police), Friday, 29 September 2006 19:43 (nineteen years ago)

Wild World. could you pick a sadder, more tragic song to play while stripping for old men's dollars i wonder? total buzzkill. I've always thought of the song as a father singing to his daughter. this palpable sense of lecherdom and guilt seemed to settle on the room. I felt like throwing my coat onstage.

if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl

right?? come on.

not sure about oldest -- i haven't seen that many -- but best was "there she goes" by the la's, w/the stripper simulating cutting herself with a large knife. this gave one pop fan in the room a perfect opportunity to yell out "nice tune, babe!," which he did.

I brought the indie when I was stripping, which probably explains a lot. The most incongruous song I can think of right now is Built to Spill's "Broken Chairs"

Yeah, the Clermont. The show was pretty strange, even as Trux shows go. They'd just lost (or dismissed) one of their many guitar players a few days earlier, and Jennifer (an ex-stripper herself) tried playing along on guitar but was too wasted and gave up in the middle of the second song. Rian was on drums, and after the set he told me that he could tell when he wasn't keeping time right because the strippers who were dancing along would miss a step and shoot him a nasty look.

There's a lot of you go see strippers. You seedy men.

― Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Monday, 2 October 2006 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

Bob Dylan's "You Belong to Me". Which is from the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, so there must be a stripper thing with that album. Saw a very surreal and disturbing display to this song at the bachelor party of a friend of a friend years ago. There were two strippers, actually. And they weren't dancing.

Slightly off topic:

I had a good friend who worked in one of those seedy porn shops with the peep-show in the back. He'd usually do an afternoon shift and I was working lunches at a nearby restaurant so I'd come visit him after I was done with work. His job was to work the register and give dudes tokens for the jack-off booths. He also had to announce the girls when they were entering the "stage" on a microphone and then cue up their choice of music on a cd changer that was behind the counter. He never left the register, and the women would strip in a room surrounded by booths down a hall from the "shopping" area where he worked. They were basically three rooms away. So, it would usually go like this:

Alllllrite gentelmen, next up is CHAAAAANNNN-DRA, Chandra to the stage. Gentlemen: Chandra works for your tips and your tips alone, so if you're not tippin'.... she's not strrrrippinnnnn.

*Cues up a Korn CD which is then heard blaring from the room down the hall until 20 seconds in where Chandra's voice is heard screaming OVER the music*

Goddamit Miiiike! Put the Fucking GODSMACK CD on!

*Stops Korn CD and starts Godsmack CD*

Fucking Track SEVEN, MIKE!!!!!!

*skips to track seven, clothes are removed to the sound of Godsmack*

The other stripper in the afternoons was a 50 year old white woman whose stomach bore the strech marks from four pregnancies and would only dance to R. Kelly style R&B.

Mike was playing in a chugga-chugga hardcore band at the time and Godsmack Girl occasionally danced to their CD.

RATM Killing in the Name into TOOL Sober

WTF? *jaw drops* The one time I went to a strip club they played RATM's "People of the Sun," which was strange enough. That night I also heard REM's "Sidewinder" and Portishead's "Nobody Loves Me."
