"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
