Idolator

The worst strip club song I've ever heard was a long version of row, row, row, your boat....I wish I was kidding about it.

In one of those moments that totally reaffirmed everything that is simultaneously right and wrong with the world, saw this stripper perform to "Working for the Weekend." Found her truthfulness to be rather refreshing; her grip on irony was somewhat limited, however, as this was on a Saturday.

Warrant's "Cherry Pie." The answer to this sort of question is always Warrant's "Cherry Pie."

I once saw Brianna Banks dance to "Du Hast" by Rammstein. It was pretty weird. When it comes to strippers, I think they should stick to top 20 pop.

The most annoying "stripper" song ever has to be 'This is How we Do it' which I recall Howard Stern always played on his show whilst women stripped for the radio. 'Cherry Pie' is a close runner up. Having just seen Massive Attack I have to say anything from Mezzazine would work well.

Though I love the song - possibly too much - how can a stripper really work her magic to James' "Laid?"

Damn... Now I totally want to see that.

Two disturbing notes about that playlist:

a) that he picked Daft Punk's "Robot Rock"
b) seeing as his ipod features "Robot Rock", that he might have actually kept the worst Daft Punk album in some digital format, slowly poisoning the rest of his collection.

When I worked at a bowling alley that was frequented by strippers ('97-'98), the consensus favorite was the Sneaker Pimps' "6 Underground". Is there a Billboard chart for strip club djs? There really should be.

I've seen a stripper dance to "Not an Addict" by K's Choice.

Not making this up.

I'm a little worried that the subject of this blog entry might portend some later Maxim-style inanity from Idolator. That said, somebody who makes a stripper do his/her thing to Royksopp, We Are Scientists, "Born Slippy," JAMES, etc. not only has an embarrassingly puny concept of sleaze, but their aesthetics and their genitals are clearly not on friendly terms with each other and, really, they should just give up and listen to Rameau and power electronics AND NOTHING ELSE. Snobbery isn't even the problem here.

nb: I've never been to a strip-club but I once soundtracked an erotic banana-eating contest to "French Kiss" and "I Feel Love."

Wow, no one's mentioned "Stripped" by Depeche Mode yet? Surely some club somewhere has played that song into the ground.

I'm a completely heartless bastard, I know, but I would have just set my iPod to shuffle through my Smiths collection.

The mental image of a stripper trying to work her way through "I Know It's Over" or "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" or "Girlfriend in a Coma" just makes me giggle, for some reason.

When my buddies and I enter a clothing-optional business, the rule is that we can't make preparations to leave until we've heard "Pour Some Sugar On Me" or the club is getting ready to close. It's such a classically bad club song, especially if the girl ends up on her knees pantomiming the act of pouring something on herself.

My last trip included a girl dancing to Rage Against the Machine's "Wake Up," followed by Deftones covering "Simple Man" (Skynyrd) as well as their original "Change (In The House of Flies)." Quite the set. Prior to heading toward the stage, she said she'd be dancing to a Deftones song, but wasn't sure what the name of it was; she had heard it earlier in the week and asked the DJ to spin it again. She asked if I'd be able to identify it. Turned out to be the Skynyrd cover. Yeesh.

Other records that club DJs should always have a backup copy of:
NIN - "Closer"
White Zombie - "More Human Than Human"
Kelis ft. Too $hort - "Bossy" [until next week, when some other femme-power anthem hits the airwaves]

What makes this guy more of an asshole: the fact that he imposed his music nerdery on a hapless stripper and party full of drunks, or the fact that he keeps referring to his iPod as an IPOD?

Last music I can remember and name at a stripclub was "Descent" by Fear Factory followed by Disturbed's cover of "Shout".

I'd give anything to see Brianna Banks dance to "Du Hast" or anything else by Rammstein.

And another song they always seem to have on hand, Pantera's cover of "Cat Scratch Fever".

i saw 'bridget the midget' in a strip club last summer. i went for all the wrong reasons, of course, and she danced to 'hollaback girl.' what an odd yet appropriate soundtrack that was to the creepy, robotic gyrations of a dwarf. i will never be the same.

Bridget the Midget and Zach de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine actually both graudated from my high school (in Irvine, CA of all places). Now there's a strip club act and accompanying soundtrack for you.

BTW, my dream strip-club song: the Audio Bullys, "We Don't Care"
