Top 10 best male strip songs to release your inner stripper

February 2019 6 min read Magic Men Blog

We all have that one song that turns us into a stripper the moment it comes on, don’t deny it, we’ve all been there! Even the Magic Men have their go-to tracks that get them fired up before they hit the stage. We reached out to some of our handsome hunks for their ultimate list of stripper bangers. Forget the top 100, this is the only playlist you need.

The Top 10 Picks

01

Pony – Ginuwine

1996

Co-written with Timbaland and Static Major, ‘Pony’ is the equestrian-themed anthem that’s been synonymous with male stripping since the day it dropped. Ginuwine, born Elgin Baylor Lumpkin in Washington D.C., crafted an inescapable classic that’s still going strong decades later.

“I hear it all the time and I don’t think I’ll ever escape it! It’s a classic though, everyone thinks of male strippers the second they hear it. It definitely brings out the inner stripper in everyone!”
02

Grind on Me – Pretty Ricky

2005 · Blue Stars

The title says it all. Pretty Ricky dropped this single in 2005 as part of his debut album Blue Stars, produced by Jim Jonsin. It peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it’s easy to hear why it became a staple on any stripper’s playlist.

“The sexy, sensual R&B beat makes it so easy to move to. Everyone always wants to start grinding on each other, which is hilarious!”
03

Pour Some Sugar on Me – Def Leppard

An oldie, but an absolute goodie. Everyone loses their mind the moment this one comes on. Our guys have some genuinely unforgettable stories from when it’s been played at private shows.

“I’m not even joking. I was stripping for a hen and Pour Some Sugar on Me starts playing. Her grandma, out of nowhere, grabs a bag of sugar and pours it all over herself. That memory will always be attached to this song!”
04

Closer – Nine Inch Nails

1994 · The Downward Spiral

One listen to the lyrics is all it takes, though maybe not for the faint-hearted. It’s an intense, crowd-igniting track that never fails to get a reaction, and has been doing so since 1994.

“There’s this one line that repeats a few times, let’s just say it gets the crowd going and is really fun to strip to!”
05

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy – Big & Rich

The perfect tune for the cowboy routine. If you’ve been to the show, you already know exactly what we’re talking about, and if you haven’t, this is reason enough to come.

06

Hot in Herre – Nelly

A certified throwback, but you cannot go past this Nelly classic. The moment it starts, everyone knows exactly what’s coming next, and the crowd never disappoints.

“Everyone knows what’s up when this song comes on, clothes are about to come off!” – Dave, Sydney

“Yeah, the crowd goes mental for it and we love dancing to it. Has to be on the list for sure.”

07

Sex You – Bando Jonez

The title leaves nothing to the imagination. Our guys gave this one the big thumbs up, and they’re happy to explain why.

“I can actually relate to the lyrics, haha! It gets me in the mood to dance at shows and private events. It’s my go-to song.”
08

You Give Love a Bad Name – Bon Jovi

Less overtly sexual, but an absolute pump-up anthem that gets everyone cheering. You’d be surprised which songs turn into stripper classics, and our Magic Men can get very creative with how they work lyrics into a routine.

“It’s a rock anthem that everyone knows and loves. Gets the crowd singing and completely amped up.”
09

Butterfly – Crazy Town

An unexpected addition, but add it to your hens night playlist and you won’t regret it. A proper ’90s tune, and who doesn’t love what the ’90s produced?

“The crowd loves it at shows. And despite hearing it constantly, I genuinely don’t get sick of it, I’ve been using it since I started stripping, which has been a few years now!”
10

Girl Money – Kix

1991 · Hotwire

Never heard of Kix? You’re missing out. One of the most underrated bands of the ’80s, they blasted out of Hagerstown with pure fury and purpose. ‘Girl Money’ is, spoilers aside, literally about strippers. With lines like “Sometimes you’re out / And sometimes you’re in” and a banging guitar solo, the mood is exactly right.

Honourable Mentions #11 to #17

Couldn’t stop at 10. These tracks deserve a spot on any stripper’s playlist too.

11

Unskinny Bop – Poison

1990 · Flesh & Blood

By the time Poison dropped this one, their music was already pumping through strip bars all over America. The phrase “Unskinny Bop” may have no literal meaning, but the song’s sexual innuendo more than speaks for itself.

12

American Woman – Lenny Kravitz

1998 · 5

Lenny Kravitz’s Grammy-winning cover of the Guess Who classic hits different. Whatever the song’s original intent, Kravitz’s version has a hard-driving beat that gets a crowd absolutely pumped every single time.

13

Cherry Pie – Warrant

1990 · Cherry Pie

No stripper song list is complete without this one. While Poison dabbled in innuendo, Warrant took it to a whole different level. The guitar parts alone make even the most reserved person want to whip their hair around. Swing it.

14

Bad Girlfriend – Theory of a Deadman

2008 · Scars and Souvenirs

Theory of a Deadman came in swinging with this one. ‘Bad Girlfriend’ is a riff-heavy, relentless track with enough attitude to fuel a full routine. Edgy, loud, and absolutely built for a stage.

15

Crazy Bitch – Buckcherry

2006 · 15

When this one came along, everything changed for Buckcherry. The song went twice platinum partly through constant listener requests, and strip clubs played a big role in spreading the word. Constant word-of-mouth buzz and the right beat made it a certified stage anthem.

16

Shakin’ Hands – Nickelback

2008 · Dark Horse

Chad Kroeger is one of the most talented writers of songs packed with sexual innuendo, and ‘Shakin’ Hands’ is a prime example. It’s multi-dimensional, part banger, part cautionary tale, and the perfect tempo for working a stage or, let’s be honest, your bedroom.

17

Girls, Girls, Girls – Motley Crue

1987 · Girls, Girls, Girls

And here it is, the undisputed king of all stripper anthems. No list like this is complete without Motley Crue at the top. Nikki Sixx wrote it as a tribute to the ladies the band watched nightly along the Sunset Strip, the album’s own listening party was held in a strip club. With its infectious riffs and razor-sharp lyrics, it became an instant classic in bars all over the world. This one belongs at every hens party, full stop.
