Strip-tease

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
The last song I chose is called “Striptease” by Juliette Greco and I’ve known Juliette Greco for awhile, but last year, when I walked in Jean Paul Gaultier’s fashion show for the haute couture in Paris, he brought me this song, and said, I’d like you to perform to this song and, I fell in love with this song.

The Presets

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
think my favorite modern day electronic band is The Real Presets. They’re from Australia. I’m a huge fan of them. I’m such a fan of them that when I went to Australia recently and I was performing a show, I stalked The Presets because I’m such a big fan.

In For The Kill

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
Well, shift gears a little bit from the retro to some modern electronic music and this is a song called “In For the Kill” by La Roux. I was good friends with DJ AM who passed away almost two years ago. And, we used to hang around the same rave scene in L.A in 1990-91 and he was not a famous DJ back then at all. He was just a rave kid like me. But, he used to send me a lot of mixes and songs and we used to share old songs that we used to like back in the old days in L.A and he made me a mix with this song on it and I loved this version.

Une histoire de plage

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
Brigitte Bardot. It’s called “Une Histoire de Plage” and it means “a story of the beach.” And, not only was she beautiful and a free spirit and, really, a great actress, but she made lots of music and great music.

Monarchy

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
What are some of your go-to bands or albums for those rare moments of leisure, when you’re not working or entertaining? Blood Orange and Monarchy, who are both on the album, they’re two artists that I listen to all of the time.

A Guy What Takes His Time

Dita Von Teese
Actress, Artist
I’m a really big fan of Mae West and she does this talk-singing thing so I found this song, “A Guy What Takes His Time,” and I found a certain arrangement she did in the Fifties, so I worked with Chuck to make this more of a burlesque sound.
