"Bad Girls", definitely, but "She Works Hard For The Money", originally, has nothing to do with street walkers. It can by implication and in that context, but it was inspired by a bathroom attendant that Donna walked in on and found asleep.

Wasn't Tina Turner's Private Dancer about hooking?

No. "Private Dancer" is not about hooking. Private dancers were professional dance partners in the 1930's that were hired by male patrons of clubs to dance with them on a dance by dance basis. The reason why they are called "Taxi Dancers", is because, like a taxi, they were paid on a dance by dance basis.

Speaking of Ms. Simone, here is my favorite song by her about the subject. This "lady of the evening", takes the subway however. This is the Masters at Work, remix.



Nice pick...thumbs up!
