Hot for Teacher Lyrics
There was this teacher at my high school that a lot of boys liked. she got fired for "inappropriate conduct" with teenage boys and now 8 years later she just got arrested for having sex with a 10 year old boy. Now every time I hear this song I think of her and feel kinda queasy thinking of how "hot for teacher" can go so horribly wrong.
I would love to tell my my boss that I don't feel tardy. That would be sweet.
Wait...
I read somewhere that this song was actually inspired by one of the band member's high school teacher. Is this true? If so...was it David's, Eddie's, Alex's, or Michael's?
Thanks :)
It's a fantasy that the high school guys joke around about. Probably a normal every day event and nothing exceedingly twisted about it. The song is not meant to be about an actual incident of a teacher and high-school student having sex. I do agree with Pippin on what the "pencil" is meant to be, but it's just a boy's perverted joke or thought.
LoL, this song is AMAZING. Its SUCH a good cruising song. The goofy nature of the song is so awesome because Eddie just shreds like crazy. David Lee Roth may not be the greatest singer, but its SO good for this song. Amazing song!
I've heard that the drums in the beginning were mic'ed and mixed to sound like the enging of a top-fuel funny car. I guess it does kinda sound like one....
Kick ass song, and one of the all time classic videos. What male in his 30's doesn't remember that teacher ripping off her shirt and dancing on the desk? Great stuff.
Every time I play this song, I'm reminded of my senior year in high school and my Spanish teacher. She was 30, and she had the most incredible ass on the face of this planet!! I think I'll look her up...
David Lee Roth not being the greatest singer? What a load of shit! He has an amazing voice, and he initiated what lead singers are supposed to do: He's an ultimate showman with a powerhouse of a voice. That's what I have to say about that.
Man, the drum intro by Alex VH is really nice, though the opening of it sounds a bit dry, in my opinion. Anyway, the whole brilliantness with the rest of the song covers this up with gigantic proportions, and Eddie VH's guitar intro/solo/outro and David LR's spoken lyrics between the verses and choruses are simply so damn awesome. Man, I'm in love with this song in replacement for a teacher. :D
When I first heard the song, I thought the part "hey, I brought my pencil! Give me something to write on!" was just supposed to be a kid acting rude (like kids will) to the teacher. Except then I listened to it a second time, and it dawned on me: that was a sexual reference. The "pencil" is a phallic symbol; given this idea, I think we all know what exactly it is he wants to "write on". Does anyone else think I'm correct in this?
