Noirsville Tune of the Week

Tina Turner goes Noirsville - (born Anna Mae Bullock; November 26, 1939). She began her career in 1958 as a featured singer with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm, first recording under the name "Little Ann". Her introduction to the public as Tina Turner began in 1960 as a member of the Ike & Tina Turner Revue. Notable hits credited to the duo, including "A Fool in Love", "River Deep – Mountain High" (1966), "Proud Mary" (1971), and "Nutbush City Limits" (1973), a song that she wrote.

In the 1980s, Turner launched a major comeback with another string of hits, starting in late 1983 with the single "Let's Stay Together" followed by the 1984 release of her fifth solo album Private Dancer which became a worldwide success. The album contained the song "What's Love Got to Do with It", which became Turner's biggest hit and won four Grammy Awards including Record of the Year.

Below are Tina's original music video recalling Taxi Dancers, along with a few interesting and entertaining fan compositions showing clips of Demi Moore in Striptease (1996), and another with other featuring  various stripper routines. It is a song that you could say is dedicated to Taxi Dances, Strippers, Peepshow Performers and all The Live Nude Girls who "dance" for a living.  Enjoy them all.

Private Dancer

All the men come in these places 

And the men are all the same 

You don't look at their faces 

And you don't ask their names 

You don't think of them as human 

You don't think of them at all 

You keep your mind on the money 

Keeping your eyes on the wall 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do 

I want to make a million dollars 

I want to live out by the sea 

Have a husband and some children 

Yeah, I guess I want a family 

All the men come in these places 

And the men are all the same 

You don't look at their faces 

And you don't ask their names 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do 

Deutch marks or dollars 

American Express will do nicely, thank you 

Let me loosen up your collar 

Tell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again?

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do

All the men come in these places 

And the men are all the same 

You don't look at their faces 

And you don't ask their names 

You don't think of them as human 

You don't think of them at all 

You keep your mind on the money 

Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'll do what you want me to do 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

And any old music will do

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money 

Just a private dancer, a dancer for money
