1)  Jethro Tull  ~  "Teacher"




2)  Lynyrd Skynyrd  ~  "Good Teacher"

13)  The Police  ~  "Don't Stand So Close To Me"  (Yet another teacher-student romance? Yep.)




14)  Pink Floyd  ~  "Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2"  (Apparently, Pink Floyd thinks you teachers are unnecessary and education is irrelevant.)




15)  Mötley Crüe  ~  "Smokin' In The Boys' Room"  (This one might be a bit of a stretch…)
