Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, this was considered all in fun. People, including parents, weren’t sensitive and didn’t overreact to videos like this that were just plain hilarious. I’m a 55 year old mother to 19 year old twin boys and I have no problem with them listening to this. (And they do!) Nah man, the new stuff is just different mainly because they mean what they’re saying. Long live rock and roll! 🎸🤘🏼

The kids in the video represented the Band members when they were in High School. Each member of the band had is own Kid-version of himself in the video. This song was a story about their fantasy teacher when they were all in school. The video wasn't pornographic or explicit like the booty-snapping, twerking girls in today's video's. They were just pretty girls dancing in their bathing suites. And yes, this was a fantasy version of all the 16, 17, and 18 year old boys in every high school in America. Every school had THAT teacher... who was in her mid-late 20's, smoking hot, and was the gossip of every kid in every gym class or lunch room. In my senior year, 17 / 18 years old, my teacher happened to be a history teacher. She was 27 and a blonde bombshell. So I can relate to the kids in this video. Especially that this video came out my senior year in High School! At this point, this video is very tame and almost campy compared to most videos depicting women.

We didn’t give a shit in the 80’s 😎 There was no worry or psychological analysis about any of this…which is why it was so great. Gen X teens were the first MTV generation and we thrived on the fun of this kind of chaos. You can still see it today. Boomers and Millennials and Gen Z are all analyzing and pointing fingers and being woke about music and culture, and Gen X is sitting back, internally rolling our eyes, and whispering smart ass sarcastic comments. At least where I come from 😂 And respectfully, when you say you can’t believe it while watching this, that just shows that the subsequent generations have worked hard to put those boundaries back up

we had fun in the 80's. that's it. fun. this isn't to be taken seriously, it's to help you have fun while driving home from work, or to keep you going while doing chores, or to liven up a party. it was fun. if you try to dissect it and look at it through a "woke" lens, you'll miss the point entirely. I'm a white guy, and I remember Eddie Murphy making fun of how white guys dance, laughing that we only had 1 move, and questioning whether we listen to the words or the beat, lol. I laughed my ass off. I wasn't offended that he was making fun of me, because he wasn't. he was using a racial stereotype to be funny, and it was funny... really funny. Same here. This song isn't to be taken seriously. It's a goof. I mean, come on... the band members are in orange suits doing goofy dance steps including hands on their crotches, lol. It's a song about little boy crushes on their teachers, something most all men experienced at least once in their schooling years, and the bikini/ strip club thing was fantasy. It's all fun and games. Back then we laughed at this stuff, instead of being thin-skinned and whining about how insensitive it might be, lol. I've lived through both time periods now. the wild 80's and the woke 20's, and I can tell you with 100% certainty... it was all better back then!

Funny thing about that "Seventeen" song..... In 1981, Joan Jett recorded a cover of The Arrows' "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". She sang about hooking up with a 17-year-old boy. And nobody batted an eye. The following year, 1982, Stevie Nicks (who is a woman, in case you don't know who she is, and the former lead singer of the band Fleetwood Mac), recorded a song called "Edge Of Seventeen", which is about....again....being an older woman hooking up with a 17-year-old boy. And again, nobody said a damn thing. Seven years after THAT, in 1989, when the band Winger (yeah, Winger, not Warrant, but you were close) released "Seventeen"...about an older MAN with a 17-year-old GIRL....people lost their freakin' minds. Kinda weird how that worked, huh?

It was fun, no one took any of this seriously. For of those boys in that class represented the members of Van Halen in their early teens. Vice-president Al Gore's wife went after rock music in the 80s. Take a look at Dee Snyder, the lead singer from Twisted Sister speaking to Congress.

We got so excited when some new, crazy video or song came out.

The kid that played Michael Anthony’s “mini me” is Yano Anaya. He was Grover Dill, the bully Scott Farkus’ little henchman. He also played the paperboy in Better Off Dead.

Hurts my heart to see Van Halen from the late 70's to seeing this... and late 70's I'm olde than y'all but I was 13 in 1980. Give me old school Van Halen every day and twice on Sunday

Hahaha, you just had to be there. We were kids, the song and video are dope (we only had videos on Saturday nights back then!), and we loved it. And we loved all the other videos too. It was a great time to grow up. I wish I could explain, but you just had to be there. - ‘74

The 80’s ruled!!! Graduated HS in ‘88 and had the best childhood. Greatest music, people were not offended by everything. Best movies and comedy too!!

Graduated in 82. So very familiar with song your trying to remember, withe the line "shes just 16 yrs old, leave her alone they say" called into the night by benny maradones. Us girls loved the song as a love song. Realized what it was about after becoming adults. Wants check out the best acoustic guitar players ever. Rick dawes and tommy emmanuel version of somebody i used to know. Is so awesome

I graduated from high school in 1985. Van Halen was the band of my youth. I still listen to them full blast and I’m 57 years old!!! So glad you’re giving VH the respect they deserve!

Mentioned at the 13:50 mark, the song is "17 "is by Winger and it rocks. The 80's was the greatest decade to grow up in....So very grateful in hindsight.

Definitely my favourite VH track..! That opening drum beat is wild and the ZZ Top-esque La Grange guitar punctuation is definitely a rock classic. Next up - Girls Girls Girls by Mötley Crüe

Fun fact : This music video was inspired for Situations by Escape The Fate that you saw a couple days ago. If look compare the two videos, they are directed the same haha. Hot For Teatcher was the song that got me into Van Halen because I saw the comparison haha

I watched this video dozens of times in the 80’s.. I turned out just fine. As did everyone I know. The 80’s were so much fun.

I will always have a soft spot for the original Van Halen band with David Lee Roth as the singer. I grew up in the same town and I remember them playing locally before they really took off and became so popular. RIP Eddy

11:10 Don is on the money here. Rock is often about forbidden fantasies and taboo subjects. It doesn't mean it is right or just or good. it just means it is hars reality. -And more than often of a perspective of fighting against it as opposed to giving up! Metal is cathartic
