"Hot for Teacher" is a song by the American rock band Van Halen, taken from their sixth studio album, 1984.

[3] The music video (directed by Pete Angelus and David Lee Roth,[9] and produced by Jerry Kramer and Glenn Goodwin, choreographed by Vincent Paterson with concept/treatment by Anthony Nasch) was filmed at John Marshall High School,[10] with Phil Hartman performing the voice of Waldo, the video's protagonist.

Waldo, an awkward boy with large glasses and a bow tie, is put on the school bus by his over-protective mother.

This is intercut with scenes with the band members dressed in red suits and dancing to the song under a disco ball.

One potentially controversial scene managed to go unnoticed for many years, until Angelus unveiled it in the 2011 book MTV Ruled the World: The Early Years of Music Video by Greg Prato: "One thing I remember about that video that a lot people don’t know or maybe didn’t see.

[14] Chuck Klosterman of Vulture.com ranked it the sixth-best Van Halen song, calling it "the encapsulation of almost everything Van Halen is known for, all within the space of five minutes: Athletic drumming, an extended guitar introduction that transitions into a thick principal riff, vocals that are spoken more than sung, two interlocked solos, and lyrics that are technically demeaning but somehow come across as non-toxic and guileless.
