David Rose's own version of the Stripper:
The music was composed as background for a TV episode.
Rose filed it and forgot about it.
Years later, Rose was making an LP of mostly string arrangements.
He'd booked a full orchestra, but noticed that the brass had little to do.
Rose pulled out the Stripper score, passed it out to the orchestra, and told them to "clown around with it."
Later, he pressed it as a single and gave copies to the musicians for their own amusement.
Still later, some office guy at MGM Records had the notion to use it as the B side for Ebb TIde, which was the record they were pushing.
The DJs got hold of the record, heard The Stripper, and started playing that instead of Ebb Tide ... and the Rest Is History.

Pamela Bartholomew I’m sure the pastor at your church and the organist are going to have a huge chuckle there. Especially the organist.

When I was a young boy in the late 1960’s my father acquired a broken jukebox, he was able to get it working again and there were some records still in it, one of them was the stripped by Dave Rose. I played this song so many times my mother threatened to throw it out if she heard it again. I played it at her funeral.

Let me guess, your mother was annoyed? That's no excuse to get rid of something that somebody else loves.

I’m sure his mom got annoyed because that played on every radio station all day long. It was so popular. Noxzema adapted it for one of its commercials. You can still find that commercial here on YouTube.
