    I’ve never really understood any kind of dancing (last time I tried was at my brother’s wedding around a decade ago), but it never occurred to me that a stripper would have a particular one. I figured they would just go with what came on.

    Dave Barry, in one column, said that if a cop pulled someone over while they were listening to “Twist and Shout,” they should not only have to forgive the ticket but also dance along. I’ve never been to a strip club, but if I heard that song while at one I would probably just find it distracting thinking of that.

    I’ve learned a lot from this thread!

      I don’t think it was anyone’s song it was more just background noise. The Beatles were still kinda popular/relevant back then so that’s probably why they played it.
