The title track of the 1966 album <em>The Crazy Horse Saloon of Paris<\/em> by Albert Van Dam &amp; Orchestra kicks off with a champagne cork a-popping! What better way to ring in the new year? The back cover helpfully informs us The Crazy Horse Saloon is &#8220;the most sophisticated strip-tease club in the world.&#8221; However, the cover leads one more to believe it&#8217;s the most <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vgg.com\/VGGBlog\/2006\/07\/what_kind_of_shit_are_you_full.html\">batshit<\/a> loony strip-tease club in the world. So does the galloping pace and the circus &#8211; freak &#8211; meets &#8211; speed &#8211; freak instrumentation of the title track. Try to listen to it and imagine women stripping to it.
