Audio quiz: A lap dance is so much better when the stripper is trying

Round 5 at the Old Pequliar on May 5, 2009

Each of these songs would make for a remarkably unsatisfactory striptease experience. Whether it’s awkward subject matter, dirgelike music, cold-shower themes, or all of the above, even the most seasoned ecdysiast would have a hard time working the pole well enough to make these in any way sexy.

(Doubters are welcome to prove me wrong. In person. Send an email.)

Oh, and in the pub, you get a half point for identifying the song and a half point for identifying the artist.
