Music to strip to … need ideas

[Writer61]

I'm guessing I'm the only person who has written a story in which strippers dance to Oh Come All Ye Faithful, at Lit or elsewhere.

Quite possibly.

It's a great song but an atypical choice for a stripper song. A good stripper song usually has a strong mid-to-slow tempo 4/4 downbeat. Kashmir features different tempos layered over each other in a way that makes it one of the strangest popular songs ever. It would require a stripper with a sophisticated sense of rhythm.

I don’t think the OP mentioned if this was meant to be a stage dance or a private dance. It’s common to charge per song for private. Nobody is going to want to lap dance to a song as long as Kashmir, when they could get paid for a couple of shorter songs.

It is for a stage dance at a strip club.

Nick Gilder, Hot Child in the City, came out in 1978, so it would be OK for the time. No. 1 Billboard hit. It's mid-tempo, with very sexy lyrics.

ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" is from 1979. For the later strip, "Addicted to Love" could be used. I'm thinking here of the driving beat in both cases, at what strikes my addled brain as strip-relevant tempo. Lyrics? Who's singing? To me, far less relevant.

Yet another Willie Dixon classic...

I am working on something at the moment which includes a young English woman stripping in a Paris night-club approx 1980. I would like it to be some contemporary music, ideally British. Similarly for 10 years later when she does a repeat performance.

I am hampered by chronic lackus rhythmus. Any suggestions?

TIA

I would personally go with T.S.B, Just A Girl, and One Shot ("a good one to grind to") by The Mono Men, recorded live in 1994 at "Tom's Strip and Bowl" (Savidge Lanes) in Bloomington, Illinois. That evening's visual entertainment was provided by Tammy "Boom Boom" Mercedes (not the album's cover model), who was stripping and grinding to that music as they played it:

However, I think the best song on that album for a stripper to move to is the instrumental "Phantom on Lane 12":

The Mono Men is perhaps best known to larger audiences via Eddie Vedder's cover of (more than?) one of their songs:

Forgot about this thread.

In the Model Sister, Josie puts on a playlist while she's prancing around for her erotic photoshoot. Songs I used (I forget the order)

Stanglehold
Porn Star Dancing
You shook me all night long.
Pour some sugar on me (TBH I hate this song, but its pretty much become a stripper anthem)
Girls girls girls

Back in Black. My girlfriend stripped to it many times

I’ve always loved using “Earned It” by The Weeknd and “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak—both are slow, sexy, and perfect for teasing. If you're going for that moody, sensual vibe, those totally work. I got the idea from a visit to 신림셔츠룸 where the dancer used just the right amount of slow motion to make those beats hit different.

I like old school stripper music.

Little Shy Guy and the Hot Rods - Let’s Rock n Roll (cuz it’s a euphemism for sex)

Bill Doggett - Slow Walk
