Stripper Music Hall of Fame
Does anyone think that the TUSCLers would be able to agree on five songs to put into a TUSCL strip club playlist Hall of Fame? How would nominations get done? What about discussions on nominees? Who would be able to vote?

sex metal barbie - in this moment
pornstar dancing - my darkest days
walk - pantera . . . (more of stage show)
super massive black hole - muse (or anything by muse)
black rose immortal - opeth . . . (c'mon, it clocks in at over 20 minutes, talk about value!!)
Cheese nomination; over use; cliche
girls girls girls - motley crue
pour some sugar on me - def leppard
Here's what I would make the case for in an inaugural class:
The Stripper - David Rose & His Orchestra (1962)
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC (1980)
Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue (1987)
Thong Song - Sisqo (2000)
I'm 'n Luv (Wit a Stripper) - T-Pain feat. Mike Jones (2005)
Spans a healthy timeframe and multiple genres. Songs I think everyone, even non-club goers, can easily associate with a strip club.
Honorable mention:
Get Ready For This - 2 Unlimited (1991)
Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot (1992)
Harlem Shake - Baauer (2013)

A personal favorite of JS69 - Winger - Seventeen

Stranglehold- That nut job Terrible Ted
Running With The Devil- VH
Those are essentials
"Girls, Girls, Girls" has already gotten two noms. Since shailynn mentioned it, "Cherry Pie" is definitely a song that keeps getting played and played and played. I could see that getting on a short list. "Bad Girlfriend" by Theory of a Deadman is probably going to be that level of annoying one day. This type of list could blow up quick, so I'll just suggest one for now. Maybe the Deadman song is my honorable mention because it's been played to death, but I'm going to with "Lollipop" as a nominee. The Lil Wayne original. I don't know how many clubs I heard that song in, but it was a lot. Coast to coast. All types of clubs. Not all dancers were equipped to make the most of the song, but it was fun to watch them try.
My favorite is "Porn Star Dancing" by My Darkest Days. I remember my ATF dancing to this song years ago.

I nominate "Low" by Flo Rida.

Kanye West - Gold Digger
As far as songs from personal experience, hmm..."She Will" by Lil Wayne and Drake, "Fresh From Head 2 Toe" by Billy Blue (best LD ever was from that song), "Turn On The Lights" by Future, "Panda" by Desiigner (Follies girls tend to get excited when that song is on), and I guess "Trap Queen" by Fetty Wap (also Follies influenced).
All that said, an all time HOF list would have to lean more toward 80s rock - at least an inaugural class.
Lol!
Just fuckin' with y'alls!
@shadowcat - Who does "Bolero"?
I'm also putting "Golddigger" by Armin Van Buuren and "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado on the list. That's 41 songs so far. Cutoff for noms is next weekend or 100 noms, which ever comes first. If you want to see the list so far I'll pm it to you. Too long to post in the thread until it's set.
Anybody want to volunteer to help cut the list down to 20 finalists? The process shouldn't take more than a few minutes per person.
I do think it's important to consider burlesque roots, which is why I recommend "The Stripper." Yes, there were clubs before the lapdance boom of the 70's and 80's.
"Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Get Ready For This" are used in a lot of clubs to introduce promo lineups and whatnot to this day. That's staying power. Girls is actually about clubs, anyhow.
"You Shook Me All Night Long" is still a popular song for dancers. "She was a sex machine, she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman that I've ever seen" isn't a bad way to introduce a dancer.
Yes, hip hop has to be there. "Thong Song" still gets dancers rumps shaking, while "I'm In Luv" is something that's been used to tease every newbie PL who gets doe-eyed ever since it came out.
It's not just what you like. It's what's lasted and represents the strip club ethos.

@AnonymousJim - I'll buy that. This'll be an interesting chat when there's "finalists" for all to ponder.
I can't believe "Pony" by Ginuwine hasn't been mentioned.
The list is now at 42 songs. One song was double counted on the first number posted.

1. Feeling Love - Paula Cole
2. Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones
3. Hot Legs - Faces (Rod Stewart)
4. Drop Dead Legs - Van Halen
5. Desire - Meg Myers
That T-Pain I'm in love with a stripper song is classic, I don't hear it played much now, but I imagine back when it came out you couldn't go a day without hearing it in the strip club.
Plus Bo Derek in her heyday, always a good choice.

Kiss -lick it up
Van halen - dance the night away, everybody wants some, many more
Sammy Hagar - girl gets around
Zz top - legs, tube snake boogie, they have many dirty songs
Emerson lake and Palmer - karn evil 9 1st impression part 2
Scorpions - many good options
But they seem to play the music for the dancers instead of the customers who are mostly a bunch of older guys.
The list is now at 58 songs. Put in as many as you want. There's a lot of songs out there.

Fell back in love with it after playing GTA V...and it's especially a propos for those of us who like more than stage shows...which is pretty much all of us on TUSCL.
I'd forgotten about the Def Leppard song. That was back when their drummer still had both his arms.
OutKast - The Way You Move
Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love
Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistible
Tone Loc -Wild Thing
Wreckx-N-Effect - Rump Shaker

Joe Cocker- You Can Leave Your Hat On
Kiss- Take it Off (watch the YouTube video)
Lynard Skynard- Free Bird...I submit, this is the best song to get a LD to. It's a long song that starts out slow (foreplay) and crescendos towards the end (climax). I've never been able to get a DJ to play it though.

Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson
Shakin Hands - Nickelback
Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry
American Woman - Lenny Kravitz
