The Bird and the Bee ft. Beck "Hot For Teacher"

Alexa Nikol Curran

Well, we think it's safe to say this wins the prize for most unexpected cover of the week! Beck provides the David Lee Roth-esque double entendre for The Bird and the Bee's take on "Hot For Teacher". In a statement Beck said, “The Bird and The Bee bring unforeseen angles to the Van Halen song book. Makes sense because, like Eddie Van Halen, Greg is a kind of musical wunderkind in his own right and Inara’s vocals bring a cool counterpart to Diamond Dave’s pyrotechnics. Making a cameo on their version of ‘Hot for Teacher’ felt like an extension of the kind of riffing and fooling around we do in the studio on a normal session.” We agree!
