Hot for Teacher

About Hot for Teacher

"Hot for Teacher" is a song by the American rock band Van Halen, taken from their sixth studio album, 1984. The song was written by band members Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth, and produced by Ted Templeman. It was released as the fourth and final single from the album in October 1984. It was the final single released by Van Halen's original lineup. The song features Alex Van Halen's double bass drum performance, and its music video, featuring the band as both adults and young students. Unusually for a single, it begins with a 30 second drum solo, followed by another 30 seconds of instrumental introduction. Alex Van Halen used four bass drums at the beginning of the song to create the sound of a motorcycle idling. The ending of this song comes from a studio outtake from the band's club days, entitled "Voodoo Queen". The lyrics describe a young man's infatuation with his attractive female school teacher, with a double entendre perhaps implying a sexual encounter ("I think of all the education that I missed / But then my homework was never quite like this"). The Parents Music Resource Center protested the song due to its sexually suggestive lyrics and music video. In 2009 it was named the 36th best hard rock song of all time by VH1. more »
