I don't disagree with those lens suggestions, but lens selection on its own is not going to give you amazing video quality. I definitely think the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 is necessary as you're shooting interiors and it's going to be dark, other than that you need fast primes - the 30mm f/1.4 is a good suggestion, a Canon 24mm f/1.4 L or 35mm f/1.4 L would be good choices as well, and if you're doing a music video I'm sure you're going to have some tight shots, so a 70-200 f/2.8 L zoom or a couple of the fast L primes would be a good idea, the 85mm f/1.2 L and 135mm f/2 L would be good for this, as for non-L glass, the 85mm f/1.8 is good as is the 100mm f/2. You might need a 50mm or you might not, I really can't know what your shot list/plan looks like.
That kind of environment is going to be challenging, the lenses are only one part of the equation - what are you doing for lights? Lighting is everything - the lighting inside a strip club is not going to be sufficient, even if you want it to "look" like a real strip club, you're going to need to light it so that feel comes across in the footage - otherwise it's going to just look like a really low-grade porno film from the 70s.
