“You Can Leave Your Hat On“ is a song written by Randy Newman and appearing on his 1972 album Sail Away. Joe Cocker recorded “You Can Leave Your Hat On“ for his 1986 album Cocker. Released as a single, Cocker's version peaked at No. 35 on Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks, and it was featured in the 1986 Adrian Lyne film 9½ Weeks during the striptease scene. It was also a popular single in Australia (where the film was immensely popular), reaching Number 23. A music video was released which features footage of the striptease scene from 9½ Weeks and scenes with Cocker and his band performing the song. In some countries, the song itself is considered a striptease anthem, and still being used by strippers. #joecocker #leaveyourhaton #9½Weeks
