'Just a Gigolo' (1956/1985)
--Louis Prima/David Lee Roth

Easily the most existential of the hooker songs, Prima's good-natured gigolo isn't of the brooding Richard Gere variety. He's turning tricks and bringing home coin while he's still able. This gigolo is resigned to his niche, which he'll ride out until the end, when life goes on without him. Or until David Lee Roth picks up the song and gives it new life.
