History
A long-standing tradition of the band... This song was played exactly once per year, at the Big Red Freakout!. The band would start playing the song, while one or more strippers would "dance" for the crowd (and the band) at the front of the stage. The song will vamp for as long as necessary. The tradition ended in 2023, and there are no plans to bring it back so as not to risk conflict with the media staff.
The new podium was designed with an internal support structure to accommodate holding up a stripper pole. For Freakout 2008, a 1½-inch, 10-foot tall section of steel electrical conduit was purchased and used.
The song is played as a reference to a scene in the 1977 movie Slap Shot, where Michael Ontkean's character starts stripping on the ice, and a marching band that was in attendance starts playing The Stripper.
