Hurra! I did my first pole dancing class last night at Pol-arise. (Orginial name huh! :p )
It was super fun and super sexy and I wasn’t suprised at the choice of music for our routines….
The first move we learnt was called the “Kate Moss” (no, it wasn’t compulsary to get high first! :p ), and we did this to “Nothing sweet about me”. The next move was a spin called the “Fireman”, which we did to one of my Brownie Unit’s fav songs at the moment…… I found myself singing and dancing along to “Loosen up my buttons baby, say what you’re gunna do to me….”.
The other tracks (highly suitable for pole dancing) included all top 40 or previously top 40 songs like “Flaunt it” and “Smack That”. This really reinforces earlier posts about the appropriateness of the content in many “popular” and top 40 songs. It’s pretty confronting to hear a 5 year old Brownie Guide sing along to all the words of “loosen up my buttons baby”, and then go pole dancing to the same track the very next day!

Thank you for adding this comment. I think it is a good reminder and specific example of the appropriateness and content of top 40 music, and it’s uses.
Apart from the lyrical content being ’sexy’ and related to dancing in this particular style, the music of the top 40 is suited to this, due to it’s appropriate and significant beat, at the right tempo for dancing like this.
I am sure trying to pole dance to death metal would involve many injuries due to the speed, and it’s a bit hard to feel ’sexy’ when the lyrics are about ‘hacking up someone for barbecue’.
A good post, showing that any music has it’s purpose and use, whether it be due to it’s content and reasons you agree with, or disagree.
