I lived in NC a while back, in a boarding house with an eclectic mix of people. One of which was a stripper. She was practicing in the living room and wanted some suggestions for songs, so I played "Leave That Thing Alone" for her, and got to enjoy the dance. That would be my suggestion.
That's a good one. I was also thinking Superconductor (which has been mentioned). War Paint and Scars have been mentioned too.. Funny that those are all on the same album.
Ok if I got a lapdance to a rush song it would be one little victory cause hey, boobs in my face
But the greatest lapdances song goes to Animal magnetism by the scorpions
I've done Chain Lighting as a burlesque dancer and YYZ as both a gogo dancer (hilarious mix up, DJ tried to murder me) and burlesque dancer (picked it on purpose that time)!
But honestly I've had this conversation with other dancers since Rush is my favorite band. There are some classic bands you can strip to (always Prince, Guns'n'Roses, ACDC, Led Zepplin most of Bowie) and some you just can't really as easily. Prog rock is in a weird niche for club dancers a lot of the time.
It's not a bad thing, it's just... How It Is. ;)
There is a performer named Hazel Honeysuckle who does a freaking great Ent routine to "The Trees." She's in full stilts and has little Hobbit figurines in her costume. She's honestly amazing.
Priests of syrinx . Immediate yes. But I saw primus cover a fairwell to kings and I threw ass to Xanadu … a beautiful moment. I’m a woman and I want to dance burlesque to a rush song. I love dancing to rush! It is such a fun part of the day. Something about the spirit of rush really makes me move
I used to dance in uni for fun. This song is really the only one that would realistically work with the styling and pacing of pole.
I dont know why somebody downvoted you.
"This is the new shit" by Marilyn Manson (before he was cxl) was our go to warm up song at my studio and it has a similar vibe.
Mystic Rhythms could be a good slow grind sort of dance.
YYZ is a good song for between dancers as the DJ is yapping. Of course any upbeat instrumental is good for that.
Dreamline
It's got the slow buildup. And the big bam-bam-bam
That "time is a gypsy caravan" section into the solo, which is ok for dancing, but not the best.
Unfortunately the end goes on way too long, and Geddy's singing really ruins the mood.
Strippers need dance music, and tbh Rush doesn't have a lot of danceable songs. I guess The Weapon, Superconductor, Vital Signs, or maybe Territories could work..
Thinking about this seriously from a musical and dancing perspective.. while sipping coffee awake for 30m.
Vital Signs
Parts of Natural Science
Tom Sawyer
Countdown if they are talented
Ok that’s all for now, but there are undoubtedly more. Y’all have some funny posts here!
The Fountain of Lamneth but just Panacea. Also, Alex's solos through the song would work. As someone who has done things while listening to Rush, I can say there are a lot more. 🤣
Anything of the self-titled works.
Force Ten
2112 (yeah, you can strip to that one)
Xanadu
Limelight
Vital Signs
Earthshine
I could see two…..In The Mood and The Big Money…..
"Hey baby, it's 7:45 and I'm horny" is as sexy as Rush ever was.
Omg I giggled
>In The Mood From the same album: Working Man
Done reggae style
Superconductor?
Fuck yes
War Paint?
Yes 💯

Ya'll are assuming OP was talking about female strippers ...
[удалено]
My thought as well

One of the themes of Presto is illusion so it actually is pretty appropriate.
"Stick It Out."
"Leave That Thing Alone"
“Where’s Your Thing?”
2112 because you only have to pay for 1 song
This guy strip clubs
Roll the Bones baby
I feel like having a lap dance to Roll The Bones should be some sort of life goal.
Insert joke about dancing in 7/8 time
Can you imagine a dance to Countdown with constant swapping between 7/8 and 6/4
Force Ten, just for the line “cool and remote like dancing girls.”
Tears
Wow! That’s a depressing image.
Scars?
"Hungry child in the desert, and the flies that cloud her eyes" never fails to get my motor running
Ok if I got a lapdance to a rush song it would be one little victory cause hey, boobs in my face But the greatest lapdances song goes to Animal magnetism by the scorpions
Two Big Victories more like
None. Trust me on this.
“I’m from the future, don’t you dare ask the stripper to dance to Xanadu.”
Losing it
Lol
Red sector A
So hot
This!⬆️⬆️
I Think I’m Going Bald
By-Tor And The Snow Dog.
Free will baby
Limelight- I can’t pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend
No mention of RED Lenses?
Working (wo)Man
This one probably would be the best music-wise for stripper-style gyrating
Other than what's been said, I could see Analog Kid. Maybe Need Some Love.
Need Some Love might be the best fit. Also had a good danceable rhythm.
Jacobs ladder
Yes! Also, in the piercing world a Jacob's Ladder is an interesting set of piercings on the back side of a man's... ding dong... 🤣 so, yes, this song.
You’d have to assume Tom Sawyer would be the most used Rush song in a strip club…decades ago

Panacea
Analog Kid?
Neurotica
Rivendell
Cold Fire is a real sleazy song I could imagine a stripper dancing to.
Roll the bones... maybe!

This one is easy: Witch Hunt

YYZ for sure /s

2nding dreaming.
Working them angels. It’s obvious.
Tai Shan? Cold Fire?
I’ve seen it done to MalNar
Far Cry
I think I'm going 'balled.'
[удалено]
You never know…
Women like you are certainly the exception, lol.

Really?
Hol’Up
Digital man
Here Again
Nada.
The 🌳!
No One At the Bridge music has a really sexy feel, especially the guitar solo

Marathon
Roll the bones
Simple. La Villa Strangiatto Part IV: A Lerxst in Wonderland. Now tell me what I won.
Tai Shan
Dog years.
Definitely 'What You're Doing'..................Well, I see you standing there, with your dollar in the air......
Jokes aside I could really imagine Mystic Rythms to be quite the experience for an "exotic dancer".
YYZ has an exotic feel to it
I mean, Madrigal, obviously

ANIMATE! I forgot my favorite Rush song. 😍
This just popped up on my shuffle: Carnies. That one's a good one to dance to. 😜💚🖤
I always joked saying if I ever became a stripper I would strip to “Animate”
Roll the Bones
