Striptease (also known as "Pricktease" and "Ribcage") is an unidentified punk song first uploaded to the New Wave Outpost forums in 2012 by user Guglielm.
Background
On August 23rd, 2012, the song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm as part of a collection of lost songs, but it did not gain much traction.[1]
On April 8th, 2013, the song was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user nathank,[2] followed by an upload by user Guglielm on July 11th, 2013,[3] before being reuploaded by Guglielm on September 7th, 2014.[4] Based on the OP's other found songs, this song was most likely recorded between 1980 and 1984, and recorded from the WFMU New Jersey radio station.[5]
On December 5th, 2024, Discord users Aidnic and rocketballboi discovered a Facebook post from WFMU DJ Pat Duncan, which featured a 1983 playlist that included a song called Cryptease by the punk band Whorelords.[6]
The band released an untitled album in 1983,[7] which is not available online, but a song from the album shares an identical musical style and vocals to the lost song.[8] A 2015 test pressing of a compilation album of Whorelords songs, including Cryptease,[9] was never released[10] due to conflicts over the quality of the recordings.[11]

(Verse 2) Now you’re lying cold and gray The doctor says I'll be here for a stay He said I was vicious He said I was sick But when I think of killing you bitch It gets hard to (wait?)

Ya filthy little slit (Verse 4) Dig straight down into the grave To the body I’ll always claim Your limbs toward heaven Your body’s pale I'm in the mood, for a strip shot A strip shot in hell (Chorus) You shouldn't have been such a (pricktease?)
