I don't think "Everybody's Girl" is about being a hooker. She's just .... friendly.
Like Ado Annie ... "I Cain't Say No."

Posted: 8/31/06 at 10:39am"It's All the Same" from MAN OF LA MANCHA. I played the grooves off that album when it first came out. Can you imagine an 8 year-old boy flouncing around a suburban living room in front of the hi-fi singing "One pair of arms is like another, it's all the same. I'll go with you or with your brother, it's all the same"? I had no idea what she was singing about, I just loved the song (and would find out a decade later, in the hedonistic 70's, that she was pretty much correct. Not for money, I gave it away for free)

HAha I read the thread title and I immediately thought, "I don't really like it when my prostitute sings."
But seriously Whore's Lament from AMOUR and anything from THE LIFE are my faves.

I like all of the songs listed...especially, "Don't Tell Mama" from Cabaret for its clever word-play.
"Use What You Got" from The Life (I like the concept album version sung by Liza Minnelli, kinda world weary...)

'Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men
Five or ten dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men...

I agree with Heat is On from Miss Siagon.
How bout, The Buck Stops Here from Great American Trailer Park. (She's a stripper not a prostitute though)

Posted: 8/31/06 at 6:07pmWell...this one is not on your face song on prostitution but, the execution and staging are suggestive: "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from the New Broadway Revival Production of Flower Drum Song.
