History
A long-standing tradition of the band... This song is played exactly once per year, at the Big Red Freakout. The band will start playing the song, while one or more strippers will "dance" for the crowd (and the band) at the front of the stage. The song will vamp for as long as necessary.
The new podium was designed with an internal support structure to accomodate holding up a stripper pole, but this feature has not been taken advantage of... yet. A stripper pole made out of 1 1/2-inch PVC pipe was installed just before Freakout 2007, but was not actually taken advantage of.
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.
