    ^^ That's what I do. I have the Sopranos theme song...Woke up this Morning, followed by

    Sopranos Soundtrack- Its Bad You Know
    The Kinks- Living on a Thin Line


    Try songs from soundtracks from the movies like
    The GodFather I,II, III
    Goodfellas
    Resoviour Dogs
    Gangs of New York

    You can also pretty much make any song about crime or criminals work. A great many girls over the years have done Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" in a gangster outfit. I swore there was a thread about this but I'm not finding one.

    I thought I remembered that thread, too, but it's way too early for me to really use my brain, lol.

    Hm....If you go back a little further to the days of zoot suits & such, could you use some Cherry Poppin' Daddies? I used to love dancing to Zoot Suit Riot and Here Comes the Snake. There may be some other more appropriate songs from that album, tho....

    I used to dance to K7's Hi-De-Ho all the time, too....It's on the soundtrack from "The Mask," and there may be some other useful songs on there, too.

    Could an old Rat Pack song work?? (I can't think of a particularly appropriate one, but maybe someone else can? Something by Frankie or Dino?)

    Oh, I thought of one more. For a slower/floorwork song, maybe you could use Fiona Apple's Criminal?

    There's a great song by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band called "There's no lights on the Christmas Tree Mother, (they're burning Big Louis tonight)".

    It's a very tongue in cheek song about a bungled bank raid leading to a gangster being sent to the electric chair.

    (Hence the lights on the Christmas tree dimming when Big louis is executed).

    The lyrics start:

    The mobs in town
    And the guns are out
    And Louie knows what it's all about
    He's gunning down the cops with machinegun tops
    Moving in a black sedan
    A stickup worth a hundred grand
    Headline sensation:
    A payroll grab in the union station

    Full lyrics at:

    Try it - it's a seriously fun song.

    Phil.

    I think Mr. Eddie's Theme from the Lost Highway soundtrack is a fabulous intro to a gangster set. Its very menacing, but it has a sexy beat.
