I kind of had that impression. That's why I was hoping you would respond.

Here are a very few of my current favorites:
Feelin' Good - Michael Bublé
American Woman - Lenny Kravitz
Shh! - Bjork
The Letter O - Sesame Street
Perhaps - Doris Day
I'm much more into the old-fashioned peel and tease, but if you want more modern "stripping", NIN's album "Pretty Hate Machine" is always good.

The Letter O
Oh my god, I love that. I am definitely checking that out. And I am closet SS music fan, anywho.
Except for American Woman, I'm not familiar with the others. I'll look for them on ITunes tonight.
Have you ever heard of April Stevens? She has a song called Teach Me, Tiger...probably recorded sometime in the 1950's or early '60s...oh man, it would make a GREAT burlesque song.

The important thing is that you really connect with it, it makes you want to take your clothes off--it's almost hard to *not* take your clothes off when you hear it. What ever song that ends up being--that's *your* song.
Feel free to PM me (or continue posting here, of course) for any more specifics.

Yes, I need to sit down and go through my music files and remind myself what songs I have that make me feel that way. I know they're out there...Chain Lightning that I mentioned above is the only one that actually makes me think of stripping when I listen to it. It has a very sexy, old-fashioned strip joint groove...for me at least.
I just feel nervous, I think. I'm afraid I'll make an ass of myself. Perhaps I'll have need of a few cocktails first.

As for me, Pat Benatar has a few songs that I've danced to: Love is a Battlefield and Heartbreaker.
I also made a tape for my ex-fiance to a Rob Zombie song, but I don't remember it. And it might have been White Zombie. I don't know...he liked the song and I felt the 'stripping' urge with it.
Boom, I Fucked Your Boyfriend is an awesome song to perform to. That was done at a dragshow... lots of fun.
Also, Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode can be good.
Experiment with how you want to do it. What you want to start out wearing. And what makes you feel sexy and so hot you want to take it all off and attack. My most recent song like that was She Wants Revenge: Tear You Apart. In fact, it was an interesting walk to the bus stop in my head this morning.  |
Thanks for your input, shesus. I think Heartbreaker and Love Is a Battlefield are too fast for me. And I am absolutely sure that anything by Rob Zombie will be, lol. Personal Jesus might be interesting...still a little fast. But maybe once I've gained some confidence I can take on more ambitious songs. I'm afraid, being the cultural hermit that I am, I have not heard of the other songs you mentioned.
