  • "Hot for Teacher" is a song on Van Halen's album 1984. The sexually suggestive song was best known for Alex Van Halen's overdubbed, near motorcycle-like double bass intro, drum fills and shuffle pattern, and its music video featuring the band as both adults and young students in a high school. The Parents Music Resource Center protested it, calling for it to be pulled from both the radio and television, due to the song's sexually suggestive lyrics referring to sex with a teacher, and a female teacher stripping in the video, among other issues. In 2009 it was named the 36th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
    "Hot For Teacher" [Lyrics]
    {Oh, wow, man, I said
    Wait a second, man
    What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
    Fuck man!}
    Oh yeah, t-t-teacher stop that screamin'
    Teacher don't you see? Don't wanna be no uptown fool
    Maybe I should go to hell but I am doing well
    Teacher needs to see me after school
    I think of all the education that I've missed
    But then my homework was never quite like this
    Ow! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
    I'm hot for teacher
    I've got it bad, so bad
    I'm hot for teacher
    {Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back!
    I brought my pencil
    Give me something to write on, man
    Whoa}
    I heard about your lessons but lessons are so cold
    I didn't know about this school
    Little girl from Cherry Lawn, how can you be so bold?
    How did you know that golden rule?
    I think of all the education that I've missed
    But then my homework was never quite like this
    Whoa! Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
    I'm hot for teacher
    I've got it bad, so bad
    I'm hot for teacher, woh
    {Oh man, I think the clock is slow
    What are you doin' this weekend?
    I don't feel tardy
    Class dismissed}
    Ooh, yeah
    I've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
    I'm hot for teacher
    Whoa
    Oh! Yes I'm hot
    Oh my God!
    Whoo!

      There's a live recording, from 1974, of Frank Sinatra saying that to the Woody Herman Band before their solo ('I've Got You Under My Skin', from 'The Main Event (Live)'). Given Dave's eclectic tastes I wouldn't be surprised if he borrowed the phrase from Frank. 😊

      to the mike and telling off the audience, saying they paid already so it doesn't matter.

    • @nightfall9371
      @nightfall9371 3 года назад +2

      It wasn’t even soundcheck. It was actually the song they were performing for tv. They started out with Panama and that was the one shown on kimmel. DLR broke his nose while doing his spinning bar routine. He actually got through the first verse and chorus while constantly wiping his nose since he was bleeding bad. He walked off during the guitar solo to seek some help, then told the crowd what happened, Eddie played improvised solos to keep the crowd entertained and when he patched up they restarted. The tv actually showed the routine then used the take from after he was patched up and you can’t even tell they spliced it other than the camera switch. Look up David lee Roth incident and RUclips and you can watch both takes. The vid is about 15 min long and it’s camera footage from almost the front row

    As someone who grew up with this song (thanks to my step dad who grew up in the 80s and 90s), I find it sad that the audience is just standing still with their phones up in the air. I'm 26 and grew up with the same technology. How are these people not jumping and/or rocking out like they should? Put your phones away and give these guys the respect they deserve.

    • @johnwattdotca

      Giving musicians respect isn't part of the gig. You probably want old stars to talk more than sing.
