The building is John Marshall High School (L.A.). It had been closed prior to the video due to a lack of funding. Van Halen paid an undisclosed amount to rent the building, and the school was able to reopen with the additional funds! Great guys!!!

"I don't feel tardy" is one of my favorite lyric lines of all time.

Love the stoner vibe of all those spoken comments in the song!

[@maryreilly5092]

Back when this song came out, I was one of several junior account executives working for a company that held Monday morning sales meetings every Monday at 8:30a.m. Sharp. But 9a.m. felt about right to me to come into work. To this day, I think the only reason I was kept on and not fired was because of my sales track record. Anyways, one sales meeting Monday I strolled in and the Boss barked out at me, "Reilly! You're late again!' I responded back, "I don't feel tardy!" All the young guys and gals burst out laughing as the Boss looked at us totally bewildered! Ahhhh, the Good Old Days!!!😉

[@tjstrongbone5373]

@@CP-kb1du “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen and “Quadrant 4” by Billy Cobham are both iconic songs with remarkable drumming, but they showcase different styles and techniques. In “Hot for Teacher”, Alex Van Halen uses a double bass drum setup. The song starts with a layered effect created by stringing together four bass drums1. The rest of the song showcases Alex’s skillful double bass drumming1. This song is often highlighted for its unique and challenging drum intro2.

There are two eras of Van Halen. 1974-1985 the David Lee Roth years and 1985-1995 the Sammy Hagar years. Both cranked out massive hits, each are worth a listen.

[@TTM9691]

The Sammy Hagar years are cheesy.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

The David Lee Roth years: Songs about fun, booze, parties, beaches, fast cars, and faster women. The Sally Hagar years: Sappy love songs.

[@boki1693]

Yeah, what the others have said. DLR years they were a ground breaking rock band that had many amazing songs and almost too many odd throw away songs that made you think what were you thinking with that song? But still mostly very good. SH years they were a band that the best guitarists in the world decided he would rather play keyboards and make cookie cutter, modern day, elevator music for the masses, than do what he did best. Now some of these songs were good, but not songs we wanted from Van Halen. I mean come on Eddie, you were an average keyboardist at best. Hire a keyboardists to play keyboards and you stay at guitar. Dream Theater could have shown you how how well that could have worked for you. I feel Rush was guilty of this as well. Some people say Eddie it the greatest guitar player ever. When he actually played guitar I would agree he is up there. But there were so many times he didn't play guitar or played it in an uninspired way because thats what the song called for. Thats why I personally can't rank him that high. I don't deny his talent. I question the musical direction he went in. This album is a perfect example of what I mean. You got Panama and Hot for Teacher. World Class rock songs. Then you have Jump, with Eddie playing a synthesizer no one wanted to see him play. OK song but Not from Van Halen. After that, the only other song worth mentioning is "I'll Wait." Which I actually find pretty good, way better than Jump and would be a nice ballad for a hard rock album. The rest of the songs are of the "What were they thinking variety." Songs only Van Halen fans would like.

After more than 25 years of anonymity, the woman who played the teacher in Van Halen's Hot for Teacher music video has come forward. Her name is Lillian Muller and she has not changed one bit. Muller, who modeled for Playboy magazine in the 1970s, also does some modeling work for AARP and has written a self-help book, Feel Great, Be Beautiful Over 40. Nonetheless, the Hot for Teacher star has also played parts in other famous music videos. In 1978, she played Rod Stewart's love interest in Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? Muller has had Hollywood romances with hot celebrities from Magnum P.I. star Tom Selleck to Playboy magazine mogul Hugh Hefner.

I remember being fired from a job I hated and on the separation forms they wrote as their reason for termination “habitually tardy”. I wrote on the form “I don’t feel tardy” and handed it back to them as I walked out the door. Best. Day. Ever. This video is a great example of the image of Van Halen as being a party band. It’s just flat out crazy fun. And yes, “pencil” in this video is a euphemism. 😆

[@joeknight7395]

No matter how many times I’ve seen this video and heard this song, it will never get old. Always gets you to perk up and filled with energy. I grew up in the 80’s and it’s still as great as it was back then.

[@ASkepticsPerspective]

HOT FOR TEACHER. Oh the memories this brings back....I have to share this story. The year is 1971. I'm 13 years old and like most of my male friends in the class we were just hitting puberty. This meant that for most of the time we were brain dead. Sometime during the school year we got a new teacher for one of our classes. Ms. Marshall was Australian and can I say, without being cancelled, very well endowed. She was a stunning young women. Of course when she walked in the room, most of the male students were in awe and dumbstruck. Being brain dead young teens we weren't bad, but we had a hard time staying focused, paying attention and were ALWAYS goofing around, doing stupid things. This was so bad our home room teacher (a male teacher) put our desks in rows across the room side to side (rather than front to back). He put all of us "pranksters" in the first row and said he wanted us within striking distance. I was proud to take my place in that row - it was a badge of honour. So it is one class that Ms. Marshall was at the front of the class and I was goofing around with my buddy Ken. For some reason I smacked him as hard as I could on his leg. He yelped out in pain and probably cursed. Well Ms. Marshall marched over to the front of his desk and put one hand on each side of his desk and leaned into give Ken "what for". Now remember, this is a young women with large breast AND she seemed to have double jointed elbows that made those breasts protrude out when she was chastising Ken. I am sure they were not more than 24 inches from his face. I was sitting right beside Ken and was unable to concentrate on what she was saying. When she left I asked Ken "What did she say?" He looked at me with glassed eyes and a dumb Cheshire cat grin and said, "I don't know". Ah the beauty of youth and lovely teachers. We were "Hot for Teacher".

[@trestruant9941]

In year 12 we had a relief science teacher - she was about 25, and pretty in that cute female physicist way. So one of the boys took her to the prom dance. But in reality I've seen it's the young female teachers between 25 and 35, who are hot for the 17 and 18 year old boys 🤭

[@maryreilly5092]

Thank God for normal boys!

[@thebluecollarbibleguy5114]

You gotta remember the Van Halen was the ultimate 80s party band. They wanted to make Metal that you could dance to. Every song during the David Lee Roth years is designed for dancing and having a good time.

[@wordgiesworld5483]

Legend has it the parents of the mini-me’s spent a long time after the video “in-Van Halening” their offspring.

[@alexthorpe6583]

I was still in my early teens when this came out. So as you can imagine, I really liked those teachers! Alex Van Halen's drum solo at the start is iconic and instantly recognizable, even after all these years. Frontman David Lee Roth was famous for his on stage gymnastics, and his vocal gymnastics, sometimes jumping up into whistle range here and there.

[@ioeee7563]

Steel Panther's lead singer Michael Starr and guitarist Satchel were in a Van Halen cover band. Michael Starr called himself "David Lee Ralph" (his real name is Ralph Saenz). 😁

[@c1ph3rpunk]

I’ll never forget sitting in the car with my little brother & dad waiting on mom who said she “just had to run in to the store real quick”. I was like 15, 1984 had just come out and I had recently purchased it (cassette tape). I was listening to it on my Walkman in the back seat, with my 7 year old brother next to me, annoying me of course, all the teenage angst you can imagine. Sitting there dad asks what I’m listening to and says “let’s hear it”, so I take 1984 out, it was on this song, and handed it forward for him to put on in the car. Dad about craps, he listened to 60’s folk songs, and asks “who the hell is this”, I’m like VAN HALEN! You just don’t understand me! Mom opens the door about a minute later, gets in and goes “oh, Van Halen, this is new isn’t it?” Mom was cool. Went to see many concerts with her, unfortunately VH wasn’t one of them, wish it was. It’s funny how every generation of teenager has “their music”, the stuff only you got, your parents didn’t, this was ours. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, it was a magical period of time in music.

David Lee Roth was the singer here. He was their singer on their 1st 6 albums. This song was on the last of those 6. He was replaced by Sammy Hagar, who was the guy who introduced Eddie in the Eruption solo you reacted to. Both were great, and I was fortunate to see Van Halen live with both.

[@chrisstone5868]

Oh yes Aileen I completely agree, those noises “ Mom” was making…. Ummm… ya.. were not sounds a Mom makes lol. Just revisiting your Van Halen reactions.

Hope you get this cuz you did this one awhile ago. So I may be like 5-600 down the line!!😂🤣😇

[@rickbrasseaux1676]

Van Halen was the epitome of the party band back in the late 70s, early 80s. Back when MTV was about the music videos and concerts, the interviews with members of Van Halen were always over the top. The video for the song Panama includes actual footage from when David Lee Roth got arrested in the hotel. Of note, Eddie and Alex received drums and guitar, respectively, from the parents when they were kids. They didn't like the instruments they were given so they swapped and the rest is history.

[@Sp33gan]

Just like the Bon Scott years of AC/DC, early Van Halen had a lot of fun with their music. Incredible talent combined with an obvious love for what they're doing makes for music you can't help but love. Aileen, you mentioned the vocals, guitar and bass, but what about those drums!? Before this, no one had ever played like this.

[@mariodelarosa5722]

Alex is a drummer heavily underrated. I put him up there with the likes of Rush's drummer. To be honest, I enjoy listening to Alex over Neal alot more! While Neal is more technical and a virtuoso at playing, Alex just bangs away at those drums and cymbals that make their songs fun and fast, and actually drives those songs!!!

David Lee Roth (known as Diamond Dave) is the lead singer is a true showman and the epitome on what a "frontman" should be. Alex Van Halen is the drummer and Eddie's brother. Michael Anthony is the bassist and backing vocals. Van Halen were a perfect party band; they were fun to listen to, fun to watch and they had a lot of catchy tunes that almost everyone liked.

True story. Used to manage a music store in Cleveland back in 1995. Drum sales guy quit and on his last day he had a request. He wanted to hear this song. Myself and our audio guy hooked up every amp and speaker in the place. Probably 25,000 watts thru at least 30 JBL stage speakers. Cranked the hell out of it. So loud that we had to go out into the front parking lot. Actually shattered 2 storefront windows. Love this tune. Love the memory. On another note: Aileen...you are a wonderful human being.

Couple things...the sound you hear at the beginning with Waldo is the squeaking of his greasy hair. Also, the kick on drum bass is actually the sound that Doc's hotrod used to make.

Little info about the lyric - "Little girl from Cherry Lawn, how can you be so bold" Its lyrics were inspired by somebody who once worked at Cherry Lawn School, a boarding school in Connecticut David Lee Roth once attended as a child.

This era of Van Halen consists of: David Lee Roth (Diamond Dave), lead singer; Eddie Van Halen, guitar and keyboards; Alex Van Halen (yes, Eddie's brother), drums; and Michael Anthony bass and backing vocals.

Everything about that era of Van Halen is unique-David Lee Roth’s voice and technique is completely distinct, and you noticed the particular sound in the solo section, how each member and their distinct sound make something singular.

In 1974, my English teacher was a former Playboy Bunny from the Chicago Playboy Club. No joke! She was stunning, tall, and with legs all the way to her arm pits! A great way for any 14 year old boy to start the day.

David Lee Roth was incredibly acrobatic back in the day. Part of it was down to the fact he trained in various martial arts, Kung Fu, Jeet kun do and Karate. He also practiced sword fighting. I think it was all that that he translated into his stage moves. (wait til you see his high kicks etc)

I love everything Van Halen ever did. But my all-time favorite, id "Dreams". The video features performance footage from the US Navy's precision flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels. Such an inspirational, uplifting song!!

Dave had a fraze that was awesome! " Gentlemen you can rain all you want But I will always be the Parade"

The thing about Van Halen that really shines through, is that they knew how to have fun. A sense of humor is the key to living a life of joy. Something that is sorely lacking in the present time of being offended by everything.
