My friend is doing a burlesque number dressed as a Vulcan for some kind of Con. She's got an idea for sort of a "coming out of your shell" type number, where the straight-laced, logical Vulcan becomes increasingly less repressed and less dressed as the song goes on. We're searching for appropriate songs and I'm usually aces for this kind of thing but I'm coming up bone dry here. I know there's a ton of knowledge on this board, so I thought I'd reach out.
She usually does rockabilly type stuff, old school or contemporary, but she's prepared to go in another direction for this one, as it is outside her usual wheelhouse, so to speak. Thanks!

"I Wanna Be Evil" by Eartha Kitt? It seems more about starting out as "proper" rather than logical, but it has the disinhibition thing pretty well down:

Oh yeah, I guess it should also be danceable, which this isn't very, but you can probably find other versions.

You Oughta See Grandma Rock - Skeets McDonald
The first song is probably more musically appropriate for a burlesque routine but the second is perhaps more thematically appropriate.
Both of these are pretty crappy quality - I can supply better versions if either one is what you want.

you guys rock! please keep'em coming, everyone. The Eartha Kitt might be good, I'm talking to her now. And I'd bet a lot of money she uses the "she's my witch" song for a future number, if not this one.

Eartha Kitt could make the text of the article that AP_Mike pointed to about flesh-eating ulcers sound sexy.

A very well-known sci-fi song about loss of repression. Too blue?

Thanks again for all the suggestions! She's got something planned, she told me, but I haven't heard it yet. Here she is, in case you're curious:
