    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

    Is a current act for others, too.

    How about 'Have you met Miss Jones?' Robbie Williams, amongst others. I can't remember hearing it, but that doesn't mean to say it hasn't!

    There's even a 'the secretary's song' but I only found it on a net search, and cannot vouch as to what it sounds like!

    I'll keep thinking...

    A lot of people praised the film: The Secretary, on a thread on here a year or so ago.
    The movie wasn't for me, but the music was gorgeous, so erotic and sensual, but you could only do a slow number to it, and your audience would need to be clued up on the film:

    While we're on the subject, are there many secretary routines knocking about?? I'm working on one at the moment, but I might have to abandon it if it's being 'done' too much. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just want to avoid stepping on anyones toes...

    In terms of a song, the one I'm using is not related to secretaries in any way hehe, but I chose it because it has an industrial, monotonous feel to it which I felt conveyed the boredom of working in an office quite well. I seem to remember in the musical "the producers" there's a song about how crap it is working in an office, I forget what it's called now though.

    It's just a thought, but there have been many a postings on here about daring to come out, as in revealing your burlesque art, at work.
    Now if your secretary was a staid, prim, Miss Butter-Wouldn't-Melt-In-Her-Mouth, dutiful sort of woman, but she had a secret side, then perhaps you could use this:

    YouTube - Patricia the Stripper

    And the parody of sending up the faux shock reaction would be priceless.
