Annotationen
Dieser Song von Mark Knopfler war ursprünglich für das Dire Straits Album Love Over Gold gedacht, doch Knopfler fühlte sich nicht wohl, einen Song aus weiblicher Perspektive zu singen und eine Prostituierte zu verkörpern. So gab er seinen Song an Tina Turner, die ihn zum Titelsong ihrers 1984er Albums machte.
Besetzung
Als Backingband fungieren Dire Straits. Die Leadgitarre wurde aber nicht von Knopfler, sondern von Jeff Beck gespielt. Ein Beispiel von Mimikry, da Beck im Stil von Knopfler spielt.
Erfolg
Die Single erreichte in den Billboard Hot 100 Platz 7 und Platz 3 in den Rhythm and Blues Charts. In Grossbritannien erreichte die Single Platz 26 in der UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics
[Verse] All the men come in these places And the men are all the same You don't look at their faces And you don't ask their names [Verse] You don't think of them as human You don't think of them at all You keep your mind on the money Keeping your eyes on the wall [Chorus] I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money I'll do what you want me to do I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money And any old music will do [Verse] I want to make a million dollars I want to live out by the sea Have a husband and some children Yeah, I guess I want a family [Verse] All the men come in these places And the men are all the same You don't look at their faces And you don't ask their names [Chorus] I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money I'll do what you want me to do I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money And any old music will do [Bridge] Deutch marks or dollars American Express will do nicely, thank you Let me loosen up your collar Tell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again? [Chorus] I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money I'll do what you want me to do I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money And any old music will do
