    You forgot "And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched ..."

    Maybe Don McLean liked male strippers ... ;)

    "Driver 8" by REM is another good train song.

    Gary Moore's Murder in the Skies covers both plane crashes and murder.

    The Russians have shot down a plane on its way to Korea
    Two-hundred and sixty-nine innocent victims have died
    Murder in the Skies
    Came without a warning
    Murder in the Skies
    Black September morning.

    No love for Warrant's Uncle Tom's Cabin? BYH is shaking his head in disappointment.

    Back to the Strippers:
    Rod Stewart's Lost in You video featured a stripper.

    Dylan's Tangled up in Blue has a nice line about a stripper.

    the Hollies: Stop Stop Stop appears to be about a guy getting kicked out of a peep show

    OK, how about the best song about sports. It's a little tough because there's a high percentage of bad ones, but I'm going to say Rodeo by Garth Brooks.
