The 25 Best Strip-Club Anthems - It's been 15 years to the day since The Player's Club, the best movie of all time about strip clubs, hit theaters. Plenty of things have changed since then. This truism remains: The right song will get even the sleepiest strip club jumping. Here, in honor of The Player's Club, BET.com presents the 25 best strip-club anthems of all time. —Alex Gale and BET staff (Photo: New Line Cinema)

"P-Poppin'" - Dedicated to acrobatic, multi-tasking strippers — handstands are mentioned — this lecherous song, accompanied by a hazy video that ruled BET Uncut, captures the late-night ATL strip-club vibe perfectly.  (Photo: Island Def Jam Recordings)

Juvenile, "Back That Azz Up" - Juvenile’s monster 1998 blockbuster took New Orleans bounce to living rooms worldwide. At this point it's likely more grandmothers have backed it up to Mannie Fresh’s classical beat than strippers.   (Photo: Cash Money Records)

"Twerk" - The word "twerking" was introduced in 1993 when DJ Jubilee, from New Orleans, released his dance hit "Do the Jubilee All." On the track, he ad-libbed the word "twerk" to the rhythm beat. However, the word did not catch on until 2000 with the Ying Yang Twins' "Whistle While You Twurk." The rump-busting dance move would gain its claim to fame in 2013 following Miley Cyrus's viral video of her dropping it full-twerk mode at a Juicy J concert. "Twerk" was added to the Oxford Dictionary in August 2013.(Photo: TVT Records)

Ying Yang Twins, “Wait” - In the wrong hands this song is a creepy flasher’s anthem. In the strip club though, with its breathy come-ons and ass-shaking 808s, it’s a boom-boom room classic. (Photo: TVT Records)

2 Chainz, “I Luv Dem Stripperz” feat. Nicki Minaj - 2 Chainz isn’t ashamed to say he’s a strip-ophile, and with this 2012 song’s hypnotizing synths and trap hi-hats, perfect for pole positioning, it’s fair to assume they love him right back.   (Photo: Island Def Jam Recordings)

French Montana, "Pop That" feat. Lil Wayne and Rick Ross - French Montana went straight to the source for this one.

Loverance, "Up!" feat. 50 Cent - Neither strip clubs nor hip hop songs are places known for soft, tender love-making. This ode to "beating it up" helped Loverance graduate from the Bay Area to the majors (and a 50 Cent feature on the remix).  (Photo: Interscope Records)

Lyricist of the Year: Drake - As Drake prepares for the release of his upcoming third album, Nothing Was the Same, he continues to be one of hip hop’s most slept-on rhymers. Don't let the radio-friendly love songs fool you, this nod is well deserved.(Photo: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)

Drake, "Houstalantavegas" - Drake, who probably knows a few things about falling in love with a stripper himself, made the most emo song on this list by crooning about three strip-club meccas. (Photo: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)

"Make It Rain" — Fat Joe - Throughout this campaign season Romney has positioned himself as the best candidate to turn around the country’s struggling economy. What better way to drive home that point than for the millionaire businessman to adopt the ultimate money-making banger?  (Photo: Courtesy Terror Squad Records)

Fat Joe, "Make It Rain" feat. Lil Wayne - This Scott Storch-produced classic helped coin the phrase synonymous with spending way too much money in a booty club. Is it mere coincidence that the great recession happened just two years later?

Travis Porter, "Make It Rain" - Fat Joe's 2006 hit popularized the term "make it rain," but this song's slow bass hits and catchy hook are much better suited for actually doing so in a strip club.  (Photo: Sony Music)
