The Bird and the Bee are hot for Van Halen and all heated up for Beck, too, in “Hot for Teacher,” one of the key tracks off their upcoming tribute album to Dave, Eddie and company. Variety has the …
Beck plays the teacher, or professor, on “Hot for Teacher.” How did he come to do it?We’ve worked together, and it was very easy to just ask him, and he graciously said yes. He did such an amazing job, off the cuff — just went in there and came up with the whole thing, and it was amazing. It definitely took it up about 10 notches just having him on there and doing that. It was like, ahh, finally this thing is complete, this beast. It was really a challenging song to do.
If you were going to put it down to “Who have we already written a song about,” that would have narrowed down the choices.There is a very conscious irony in the fact that Van Halen is very guitar-associated, to say the least, and this is not exactly a guitar album. Did you relish the chance to get as far away from the original sounds as possible? I mean, I do play guitar, but keyboards were my first instrument that I played.
There’s a jazz feel not just in the soloing but changing the chord changes up so that they sound more like jazz chord changes.It’s something that we have always loved with the Bird and the Bee.
But then with a song like “Hot for Teacher,” that’s a song you probably get the first time you hear it, and not probably something that easily lends itself to like the feminine perspective. How did you like approach a song like that, that’s tongue-in-cheek?Maybe this is a touchy subject, but it’s an age-old topic. That’s sort of written in our history, that there’s always been a flirtation between a teacher and a student, especially at the college level.
