The Stripper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Stripper" is a piece of instrumental music composed by David Rose and released in 1962. It evinces a jazz influence, and evokes the feel of music used to accompany striptease artists.
The piece features in the films Slap Shot, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and The Full Monty. It was also famously used in a parody by British comedy duo Morecambe and Wise, where they danced to the tune while making breakfast. A famous Noxzema shave-cream advertising campaign developed by the William Esty Advertising Agency used the piece as background music for television commercial that featured a famous model telling men to “take it all off.”
The song reached number one on Billboard magazine's Pop Singles and Adult Contemporary charts in 1962.
