Answer 1

"All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall"

Lyrics say it all. The shutting out of the sordidness of stripping for men in return for money.

"Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again? "

Definition of Private Dancing according to Wikipedia is stripping so that leaves little doubt for me.

Answer 2

This song was written by Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits. Tina had to re-record a line where she made a reference to American Express. That was because the BBC didn't allow specific brand names to be mentioned in songs. The same thing happened with the Kinks song "Lola". The line "Coca Cola" had to be changed to "cherry cola".
