How many more pop songs feature or prominently mention providers or the profession?
I can think of at least one other: “picking up hookers, instead of my pen, I let the words of my youth fade away”
Who else but Willie.

And this list didn't even include stripper songs; my favorite being "Tittie Dancer"

So instead of actually turning on our brains, we just push a button and Google tells us everything.  
Why even have human memory anymore.

Anyway, fuck Google’s list.  Here are the ones I remember:
“Just a come on from the whores on Seventh Avenue,
I do declare there were times when I was lonesome I took some comfort there”

“And every night all the men would come around,
And lay their money down.”

Still not sure about House of The Rising Sun.

Newcastle Brown, I'm tellin' you, it can sure smack you down
Take a greasy whore and a rollin' dance floor
It's got your head spinnin' round

Not really, Phish much more funky than the Dead ever were...but it's easy and lazy to lump the two bands together.

“Fire Down Below” Bob Segar.

And I’m pretty sure George Strait didn’t have our hobby in mind but “She’ll Leave You With a Smile” reminds me of our fantasy world. “ At first she’s gonna come on strong, like she’ll love you all night long. Like it’s going out of style, still she’ll leave you with a smile”

"Raised On Robbery."
"I'm a pretty good cook
Sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight, cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery"

Sorry for the late entry, but I think it’s a winner. “Love For Sale” was written by Cole Porter in 1930. Recorded by many artists since then, as recently as last year as a duet (Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga).

I was just going to say Roxanne by the Police. Probably the most well known song about prostitution of all time

Of course since I live a few miles from the place I had to recall Tom Waits and “Ninth and Hennepin”…

   Well it's 9th and Hennepin  
   And all the donuts have  
   Names that sound like prostitutes …

I have no idea where the donut shop is though.

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job.
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue.
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

So many major songs in that genre that deal with the profession.  

 

Usually it's from the, uh, managerial point of view, but nonetheless.
