13th Floor New Song Of The Day: The Bird & The Bee ft. Beck – Hot For Teacher

0

Alright, its an old song, but this take on Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher needs to be heard.

Here’s The Bird And The Bee (Inara George & Greg Kurstin) performing Hot For Teacher. And to top it off, that’s Beck’s voice making a cameo appearance.

The track comes from an upcoming Van Halen tribute album titled Interpreting the Masters Volume 2: A Tribute to Van Halen, due out August 2nd.

Kurstin has helped Beck out on some of his most acclaimed albums, such as Sea Change. Now Beck returns the favour.

Here’s what Beck had to say about his involvement:

“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.”
