By AC/DC. a song I always hope to hear in a club but haven't done so thus far, maybe this time. What song(s) are your favorites and do you hear them at clubs, does it affect your enjoyment of a dance if you are getting one at the time?

Pat Benatar songs (1980-83) were percussion heavy female empowerment songs. A dozen of them would be perfect for a dancer who isn't strolling the stage looking bored.
Finally, the best ever song that should be performed in a SC would be Turbo Lover by Judas Priest. Picture it, during the intro, stage is swirling in smoke and dancer rises out onto the stage via a lift (St. James), then as the drums start, she takes off and starts twirling (a white lacy negligee would be perfect).
ZZ Top: "Legs".
For lap dances (purely the length of the song or piece of music):
Hotel California
Hey Jude
Inna Gadda Davida(sp?)
Bolero
FarmerArt's post makes me think of a related topic -- What's the longest song you've ever had played during a LD?
In my case, it was 'Heard It Through The Grapevine' by CCR. The club probably thought they were playing the radio cut, but it was the album version with the extended jam, which runs about ten minutes and thirty seconds.
The dancer even commented 'This song lasts like, forever!'
I agree w/ f'art, "Legs" would be near the top.
As for Blacksunshine, I also experienced a lapdance to YMCA. This was with this one fave dancer at my favorite club's champagne room with the one old lady dancer on stage at the time. Old lady doesn't choose her music on the juke box, so someone thought they'd be cool to play YMCA for her. I normally DATY with this dancer, but YMCA made me not want to. Whoever suggested this music should be banned for life.
How about getting a LD just as Kashmir by the great Led Zeppelin is starting our maybe Freebird?
This prompts another question, are there clubs that only play rock/classic rock music over there?
Not long to go now guys, bags packed and I pray I arrive on time on Sunday this week. Reviews will follow.
I've seen ZZ a couple of times. The last one was a last minute thing, so I got suck ass seats at the sidw of the stage. Turned out, they weren't bad at all. From the front of the stage, during "LEGS" they had women dancing, silhouetted on a screen. Now, from the side of the stage, I had a great view of the real thing. Made the seats very enjoyable!
As for the question of clubs that play only classic stuff, I have yet to find one. There is a local club that tends to play *mostly* classic rock during the day, but that's the girls' preference and they shift to mostly (c)rap at night. When I've asked, they all claim that's what they're customers are telling them they like. Given the clientele I've seen in some of these places even on Friday and Saturday nights, I'm skeptical, but maybe those folks aren't spending money.
The only place I know about that only plays rock, or at least doesn't play rap (I've heard country there on occasion), is Lamplighters in Ottawa, Illinois, about 2 hours SW of Chicago. They make then dance to obscure country songs if they play rap music. Not too coincidentally, it's the only club I've been to more than once where there were no black dancers. Of course, it's a rural club in the middle of nowhere.
I only saw Van Halen, rather Van Hagar. OK, but not as good as classic Van Halen.
