"Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
I love classic VH, but "Hot For Teacher" is a turd of a song. There's no hook in sight. I bet Stevie Rachelle loves it.

Definitely don't think it's a turd, but without the video, it would be just another good VH album cut.
I did like their attempt to redo it on OU812 with Source of Infection

Hated it then, hate it now.
Another reason why 1984 was the worst Van Halen album ever.

Just the drum intro is iconic and worth the price of admission.

Agreed with both of these statements. Don't know what crack OP is smoking, but "Hot For Teacher" rules, and for anyone who disagrees, I only have this to say:Love_Industry wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 4:11 amJust the drum intro is iconic and worth the price of admission.

IMO, VH (Roth era) had a unique song writing style, which either resonates with you or doesn't (for me.....).

Have you even heard VH3 and OU812?
It's not even the worst with the OG band, that honor goes (by far) to Filler Down.

Re: "Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
It's "awful"? What's awful about it? The drumming? The guitar playing? The ZZ Top style boogie? That it's been a mainstay on rock radio for over 40 years?

This. HFT is brilliance at every level from the drums and guitar intro to the ZZ Top boogie to the video.
The chorus doesn’t have a hook? LOL
Stairway to Heaven doesn’t have a chorus or a hook. Every song doesn’t have to be I Want To Hold Your Hand, You Shook Me All Night Long, Living On A Prayer, Paradise City or Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Re: "Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
I once walked into a work meeting late and said "I don't feel tardy."
Brought down the house. Boss loved it.
Great song. One of the best drum parts ever. Era-defining guitar intro and solo. Classic Dave. Awesome video. This song is perfect, actually.

Re: "Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
Exactly...it's a fun 80's 'metal' song...and I love reading people that say 'this song or that song doesn't have a hook' so it sucks are idiots...every song doesn't necessarily have to have a 'hook' to be a good song...LSD69 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 6:26 amI've never heard of anyone so shit-all stupid as you making a statement like this.Newsted's FU Money wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 3:21 am I love classic VH, but "Hot For Teacher" is a turd of a song.

Re: "Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
Unique, iconic,.....you're hooked from the drum intro to the crescendo ending. The whole fucking song is one big hook.

""""" I bet Stevie Rachelle loves it."""""""
Honestly... I loved it... until I was about 22 or 23... so, for about 4-5 years.
But after being in L.A. for a few years and realizing the level of phoniness and F#@kery that most of these "rock stars" were in real life, I soon soured of all.
Roth is embarrassing AF now... regardless of his former greatness, he did NOT age well and I am not just talking looks.
The guy is a pure goof... he could be in a diaper and pushing a walker and still spitting stupid one-liners thinking he's hip.
His debut solo album was great, but it was also a simultaneous jump of the shark.
This is 1 of the VERY BEST songs he ever recorded... it sounds real and genuine, with no stupid lyrics or contrived laughing or screams to be heard, thankfully.

Re: "Hot For Teacher" is an awful song
This is a perfect example of everything Dave did right... Like many VH songs, if you listen to just the music, it's actually rather dark and very UN-melodic. Definitely not a FUN song musically.
Dave's lyrics, melodies and of course the backing vocals made it a pop hit!
