You're talking the Proclaimers version at least, right, and not the brooding folk dirge popular in the 60s folk boom? The former I could see working just fine.
Hmm. I dunno. Shadows in the Moonlight might be an exception. Her contralto with a sort of frumpy soccer mom getup that is gradually disposed of to reveal a surprisingly pert figure....it might be a sleeper hit! Same with Dreams of the Everyday Housewife (Glen Campbell), especially if it was coin beer night (no pennies or nickels please).
I’m now imagining Anne Murray working the stripper pole with “Shadows in the Moonlight” playing. Blouse, blazer, mom jeans, frosted tips… everything on point. Lawrence Gowan makes a surprise appearance and seamlessly weaves “Moonlight Desires” into the medley.
I just looked up the tune—hell, that'd actually be unironically entertaining! Any sort of eroticism would've have flown out the window around the key change of Shadows, and it would probably be a respectfully mesmerizing atmosphere just north of a train wreck, sort of how Donahue had the strippers on his show doing their act (to Hungry Eyes in one instance) and stopping at the underwear before a smattering of tepid applause and an interview.
As big strippers go, she was bigger than most
Of the big stripper, they called Gitche Gumee.
That stripper it's said, never gives up her dead
But will give a handy, under, the table.
The stripper it's said, never privately gives head,
Maybe, "The stripper, it's said, discreetly gives head—for a sawbuck, under, the table". Commas used to indicate pacing.
Her role in the morgue in the towm of Limbourg led to scandals and protests a-plenty.
And then "BLAM-bobba-dah" for the drum fill at the end to start the groove rolling. 😁
Too many syllables brother
Depends on where you put the emphasis in "privately"!

I saw 2 women pole dance and strip to Bohemian Rhapsody. I'll just say it's not a bad song for strippers, and leave it at that.
baby shark do do de do de do
Nights in White Satin; its slow, has a weird rhythm, a d last for roughly 37 minutes.
Perfectly inappropriate for a titty bar
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one. Lonely man cries for love! and has none; new mother picks up and suckles her son....
"Hell, let's get outta here; the night is young....."
On a similar theme, Tool's entire back catalogue.
The one time I went to a strip club she danced to forever young by alphaville. Like the slow ballad version of it. Bizarre
Requiem was sampled by 213 (Nate Dogg, Snoop, Warren G) for a little ditty called My Dirty Hoe, so it's kind of appropriate.
Honestly as a burlesque fan 500 Miles would work fantastically for a "fun" striptease.

Yeah, totally. I was dancing like a loon to it at the last wedding I was at.
Add No 1 Party Anthem to that list. A real cheerful number.
When I was a stripper, I danced to Bohemian Rhapsody every single day. It takes some musicality, but it's AWESOME.
500 Miles would work okay I think.
"Mournful. She has mournful tits. They're like two suicide notes stuffed in a glitter bra."
Go team Venture!
"Lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying"
Bloodhound Gang
came to post this. good work.
Have you tried "Castigation and Betrayal" by Anaal Nathrakh?
I know we're goofing here, but years ago a dancer got on stage and danced to a couple of songs from Bruce Hornsby and The Range.
Thats just the way it is. Some things will never change.
Oddly enough, I could actually see that one working somehow.
A lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying by the bloodhound gang at least deserves an honorable mention
I think Monster Mash should be considered.
The hokey-cokey
Brian Cranston looks really rough here.
You Suffer by Napalm Death surely?
Only if you want to get your money's worth
Does anyone know where the love of God goes when her cheeks turn the minutes to hours?
I love Edmund Fitzgerald's voice.
Something by Sunn 0)))
Nah, the absolute worst would be 4’33” by John Cage.
The Malcolm in the Middle return looks fantastic!
Just listened to it. Fuck me your not wrong😀
Anything by Anne Murray would be wildly unsexy at a strip club too.

It's "at 17" by Janis Ian
Oh, she's high on the bracket indeed. Hell, her music would drive Mr. Rogers to go for a two pound Porterhouse with a few whiskey sours.
I always figured him for a martini drinker.
It all turns into Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze 'excuse me while I kiss this guy'.
Oh hell! Another qualifier. Why that's bad for business in most clubs.
