The Stripper and Other Fun Songs for the Family is an album with easy listening and swing music recorded by David Rose (1910–1990) and His Orchestra. The titular opening track, “The Stripper”, is an instrumental recorded in 1958. From Wikipedia:

Four years after the song was recorded, MGM Records wanted to rush-release Rose’s recording of “Ebb Tide” as a 45-rpm single, but needed a B side. An office boy perused Rose’s tapes searching for one, and “The Stripper” was chosen. It became a surprise hit, receiving considerable radio play.
