Songoftheday 11/23/13 - Just when I thought I finally learned my lesson well, there was more to this than meets the eye..

.38 Special - "Teacher Teacher"
from the album Teachers (Original Soundtrack) (1984)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #25 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 5

Today's Song of the Day is by the southern rock group .38 Special, who scored a pair of top-20 pop hits in 1983 with "If I'd Been The One" and "Back Where You Belong". The following year the band recorded the title theme to the movie Teachers, starring Nick Nolte and Jobeth Williams that was half school pranks and half serious issues in a weird convoluted plotline. Even though the film blew chunk, the soundtrack from it was top-notch, with two of its track reaching the top 40. The first, "Teacher Teacher", was written by Canadian Bryan Adams and his writing partner Jim Vallance...


"Teacher Teacher" made the American top-40 in November of 1984,while also peaking at #4 on the rock radio chart.
