| "No Sex" | |

| Song |
"No Sex (in the Champagne Room)" is a comedic spoken word track released by Chris Rock on his 1999 album, Bigger & Blacker, with a background chorus sung by Gerald Levert. Intended as a parody of Baz Luhrmann's "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)", Rock gives one-line tidbits of advice purportedly aimed at "the GED class of 1999".
Targets of Rock's wit include parties with metal detectors, Hooters, women who don't look their age, Ol' Dirty Bastard and Coolio, horoscopes, people with tongue piercings, and "that silly-ass hat".
The chorus, repeated several times, affirms that "no matter what a stripper tells you/There's no sex in the Champagne Room." This line was later quoted by Wyclef Jean in his own missive on exotic dancers, "Perfect Gentleman".
Rock's song received frequent play on the radio, and as a music video on MTV, where it ranked 43rd on TRL's "Top 99 of '99" after premiering on July 13, 1999.
The song was parodied on MADtv as "No Blacks (on the TV screen)". Phil Lamarr portrayed Rock in the parody.
