Florence Welch and Calvin Harris - Sweet Nothing (and other videos ft. stripping)
I like strip clubs and I also like movies. I am hoping to get one on the screen one day and if it does 1/10 as good as Magic Mike, I'll be pleased as punch! Currently, I am just working on music videos and though I have not put a stripper in one yet, I have noticed a fair amount of good music videos with strippers or strip moves in them.
Some examples:
Shakira - Rabiosa ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OO1pOqRJkA ) <-- disappointing, I really like Shakira and her ass, but I think her pole skills need work and the cameraman should have stayed on her more
Remate - Por Lo Que Tiene De Romántico ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvZNwsVcLu0 ) <-- slow song with a melodrama about some moody rich guy and a ballet chick pole dancing
Nicki Minaj - Super Bass ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JipHEz53sU#t=2m18s ) <-- hey, lap dances in a top 40 song!
Which brings us to why I posted this thread.
Florence Welch and Calvin Harris team up to produce what is one of the best music videos I've seen this year. For those that don't know, Calvin Harris is a video and music producer/DJ who's hit Feel So Close scored big last year and you've probably heard it in some TV ads. Florence Welch is the singer of Florence and the Machine whose song Dog Days also went big. In my opinion, she is the best female vocalist recording today, (Sorry Adele). They came together to record this song and video -- a somber mix of 80's new wave and 90's dance or house music, and I am placing it here because it takes place inside a strip club. The music alone is great, but the tone and quality of the video is everything I would want to do. Hopefully, you never see me rip it off ...too much. Enjoy!

If anyone has any other videos in a strip club or featuring pole/lap dancing, please post them.

Here's another one:
Like Florence up there, it's another dark one. I like it, strippers in music videos were just eye candy in a party atmosphere for so long, it's interesting to see one used in a drama setting. Although this is about the customer, so there's still a lack of anything serious coming from the dancer's perspective. Hopefully, that will happen soon. But yeah, here is a dark, dramatic music video with a dancer in it.

The new Rihanna video for Pour It Up has some stripping (and some twerking :O ) There's actually some skill shown here, which is more than I can say for most other strip club themed music videos I've seen. I don't hate it.. I've always thought the song was catchy.
