Recently, I have been reminded that Busted's What I Go To School For exists in the world. This has given me a new idea for a Spotify playlist - requited love for a teacher. Current tracklisting is :
Busted – What I Go To School For
Gym Class Heroes – Scandalous Scholastics
so not a lot, and last.fm isn't helping me. But I am sure there are more, which is why I made an open playlist. Can you help me with this project?

This is harder than I thought! Errr 'Hot For Teacher' by Van Halen? That's pretty much requited isn't it?

[xxxlibris.livejournal.com]

In the same way that "Don't Stand So Close To Me' by The Police isn't.

[ms-bracken.livejournal.com]

That's one for the much creepier "unrequited love of the teacher" playlist.

It is quite hard! But the Van Halen is the right side of ambivalent, so it's on the list.

ah no, don't stand so close to me is unrequited love of the PUPIL isn't it? the creepiest list of all...

Rufus Wainwright - The Art Teacher

Are there any songs re: required luv for teacher from a girl's perspective? I feel that there are but can't remember any. I'm sure Tori Amos or someone must have had one at least. Hmm.

The Art Teacher is actually from a girl's perspective... oh, and I can vouch for the fact that Tori doesn't have one.

What really baffles me is how remembering Busted's existence led to taking this idea FURTHER. I don't want to be reminded :P

The Art Teacher is unrequited, though! She just sighs over him in the National Gallery (or similar). What I like about Busted / Gym Class Heroes is their taking direct action.

Contained - Fosca
The Guitar Lesson - Momus

New Boyz - "Way 2 Many Chickz":

"I met this one teacher named Mrs. Chandelier,
She was so bomb that I was skippin' lunch to see her,
Till she snuck up from behind me and I kicked her out of fear
Sounded like Ja Rule was tryin' to whisper in my ear"

Maybe a half-point for the original lyrics to Eminem's "My Name Is"?

"My English teacher wanted to have sex in junior high / the only problem was, my English teacher was a guy. I smacked him in the face with an eraser, chased him with a stapler and stapled his nuts to a stack of paper"

Tho it's (1) unrequited (on the teacher's end) and (2) not really love for the teacher from Em. The lyrics are vague as to whether or not Eminem assents, but I think it's safe to assume he does not.

Hello? Of course it's requited. Go and listen properly everyone.
