Topic: David Rose
DAVID ROSE, “a British-born American songwriter, composer, arranger, and orchestra leader.” Wikipedia. He was married to actress Martha Raye and also to Judy Garland. Had early 1940's music show on Mutual Radio California Melodies. Scored TV shows BONANZA, HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN, LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE and THE RED SKELTON Show. The song "The Stripper" was a #1 Billboard hit in 1962 recorded on MGM by David Rose and His Orchestra. Today “The Stripper” is still performed de rigueur at bachelor and bachelorette parties, at strip clubs, at wedding receptions (when the groom removes the bride’s garter), and has been used in COUNTLESS television shows and films, including Slap Shot and The Full Monty. But perhaps the most memorable performance of all came in a late 1960s Noxzema shaving cream commerical wherein beautiful Swedish model Gunilla Knutson demanded, “take it off, take it all off.”
