Possible Clues:

• Strip, though in New York no good
• Band lisped musical number
• Strip to highlight one’s naked glory, primarily
• Barely-there beach wear
• Leather strip that forms the flexible part of a whip: excuse for underwear
• Terribly hot? No good — strip!
• Crowd's run away, leaving band
• Skimpy beachwear like a G-string
• Skimpy underwear awfully hot, no good
• Strip left zilch to imagination (sniggering at the back)
