Sometimes the desire to please our partners leads us to places unforeseen. Things like trying their hobbies, tasting new foods, listening to new music are all normal fodder when venturing into compromise land. However, sometimes trying new things ventures into the bedroom, inspiring you to, um, perform in ways you wouldn’t for just anyone. To this, I say “Embrace it!” and test out these eight songs to strip to.

1. “Ooh la la”—Goldfrapp
2. “Lick”—Joi
3. “Stranglehold”—Ted Nugent
4. “Stripper” – The Soho Dolls
5. “Oops (Oh My)”—Tweet
6. “You’ve Got the Love”—The Source
7. “Glory Box”—Portishead
8. “Got to Give It Up”—Marvin Gaye

Other necessities in performing a good striptease, in addition to your iPod speakers, after the jump…

 

Who can resist the charms of glamour queen Dita Von Teese?  Not even stodgy Prince Charles, which is why he introduced himself to the attractive alabaster stranger at a Cartier event. When the Royal asked Ms. Dita what she did, she replied that she was a “dancer.”  When Prince Charles unwittingly asked the dancer to do a number at Prince Harry’s upcoming birthday party in September, he had no idea he’d get more show than he bargained for.  After the damage, er booking, was done, an aide informed the culturally clueless Prince Charles about Dita’s contributions to the art of striptease and he was mortified.  After all, what would his mummy think?!  We think under those suits and floral hats, there’s a side to the Queen that likes to get down—or at least appreciate a woman who can.  But we’ll have to wait and see if the real tassel-twirling burlesque show will go on at Buckingham Palace.
