The Stripper

It evinces a jazz influence with especially prominent trombone slides, and evokes the feel of music used to accompany striptease artists.

It also became known as the background music for a contemporary Noxzema Shaving Cream commercial, featuring Swedish model Gunilla Knutsson,[4] and for key scenes in the films Scarecrow (1973) and Slap Shot (1977).

It was used on BBC Television in 1976 by the British comedians Morecambe and Wise in their "Breakfast Sketch" routine, where they perform a dance using various kitchen utensils and food items.

[5] The comedy troupe Monty Python used the song in two skits on their show Monty Python's Flying Circus: The song was put into regular use for ITV's children's series SMTV Live from 1998 to 2003, most particularly during the "Strippin' Vicar" and "Chums" sketches when the vicars such as one of the hosts Ant McPartlin and one of the guests Frank Skinner destroy the set.

The song is also alleged to have inspired the songwriters for Thomas & Friends, Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell, in their composition of Daisy's theme, the first female diesel introduced in the television series.
