What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Now that we are upon the 50th anniversary of "Beatlemania" here in the states. I thought about a strip club having a Beatles night. It might even be the case somewhere (I'd sure as hell be there). Given the list below, which 3 Beatles songs would you choose? The Beatles had three distinct eras in the short six years of there popular period (1963 to 1969). I've listed the songs along with style that matches the song.

Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Dude, the Beatles recorded over 200 songs. You listed about 30. What's up with that?
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Honestly there are so many, depending on the mood but I prefer their later songs. I have danced to Helter Skelter and that is a fun song because it is so rough (though the history of that song makes it a rough song in general). I had to look and I see I have 119 songs in my iPod from the Beatles not to mention the solo songs.
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
I don't think a "Beatles Night" makes any sense. I am 50 y.o. and they had disbanded by the time I discovered music and I am older than all the dancers and probably half the cuatomers. In order for any customer to find a Beatles' song particularly nostalgic, they'd probably have to be at least 60. The Beatles would be considered "parents' music " to al the dancers any custtomers younger than me
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Bem I think that is true in many cases, but I know a lot of younger people who love the Beatles. My parents (who were at the age that they should be fans)hate them but I like them. I don't think though that most clubs would have a Beatles night though but you never know.
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
I can't think of any songs particularly suited to the SC environment. Its not dace music and its not often romantic stuff either. Then again, maybe I'm just letting it show that I've never cared for the Beatles. Now, if he were asking the same question about the Stones... To be honest, the only perfformer who has enough stuff to monopolize a SC playlist, IMO, would be Prince.
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
I think what is considered dance music is up to an individual. For example I danced to a lot of bands like Duran Duran, REM, the Cure, Depeche Mode and U2 who were all influenced by the Beatles (as was every rock band since then)but not really dance either (maybe Depeche is to some extent) nor are they romantic by any means. You mention the Stones and they definitely have more of a dirty rock attitude which works for stripping.

And yet my 26 year old has been singing along with Beatles songs since she learned how to talk. While I certainly won't dispute the term "Parents music" as applicable to any music from that era I don't really see what that has to do with the topic at hand.
While Urban strip club music is most certainly dominated by dance, pop, rap and hip hop today it was not unusual at all to see girls dancing to the Beatles back in the day when dancers made their own mix tapes and tried to dance to music that actually appealed to their customer base. Furthermore, all clubs are not built in urban locations and there are plenty of places that play music from the 50's right up through the present day. I agree that it probably wouldn't fly in the bigger city/urban clubs but it goes over just fine in the burbs and in more rural areas. There is a right time and place for lots of different types of music in different types of clubs. Heck, a retired fave of mine once danced to Italian opera and Arlo Guthrie during a day shift in a Providence club 9 or 10 years ago...
"Come Together", "Something", "Tomorrow Never Knows", "All You Need Is Love" and "Drive My Car" are just a few of the Beatles songs I've heard quite often in strip clubs over the years. In the 80's a lot of Wings and John Lennon solo stuff was also very popular. I knew one fave who did an incredible "blanket" floor show to John Lennon's "I'm Losing You".
BTW, I hear Elvis, The Everly Brothers , The Stones and plenty of other 50's and 60's bands on a regular basis as well not to mention old and new Country music quite often.

IMO, Beatles' music is unique but little to none of it is particularly danceable or sexy, but to each his own.
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Yoda, we've been to different clubs because the only Beatles song I've ever heard in stripclub in over 2 decades of clubbing is "Birthday". That happened only with "birthday boy" on stage special.
To answer OP- I'd like whichever Beatles song is the longest while getting a dance with my fave. One song that would really take the cake would be "She's So Heavy", played by a DJ while a rubenesque dancer is on stage. Go ahead DJ, I dare you. I wonder of DJ would get a tip, especially if song wasn't requested. :O

Yes, I'm fairly certain of that...
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
When my current boyfriend was my DJ a few years ago (that's how we met), he used to play "I want You/She's So Heavy" for me and it worked really well in the club. I love the Beatles!

That would be very funny.

I've been in or knew about various musical theme nights over the decades of stripclubbing. There was 50's night. Psychedelic night (actually, was on 4/20 day), disco nights, punk, country and especially one club in Orlando with a "Pink Floyd night". I see clubs tend to have a lot more theme nights as business has slowed down a lot. A Beatles night would just be another theme night.

As long as Yoko doesn't show up for amateur night I'm down with it!
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Their music (played constantly through the night) wouldn't suit a club type environment or add to the "party", "sexy" atmosphere. I do have a soft spot for them, have danced to a few of their songs, by chance, over the years though and enjoyed it :) (...and yes, I sang a long ;) lol). I can't really answer the question though-because I couldn't choose just three lol.
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
Come together played on repeat :)
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
The Beatles "came of age" playing strip clubs in Germany before any of us ever heard of them (or strip clubs) which adds a bit of irony to the OP's question. I can't visualize Beatles music in strip clubs but considering they are my ATF band I would enjoy listening.
FBR
Edit to add: I love the early stuff, late stuff and those songs in between. In my life, I've loved them all :)
Re: What 3 Beatles songs would you choose for Beatles night at the strip club?
It just dawned on me....
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah
