classic rock songs<\/a> that will help ease the burden. <\/p>\n\u201cSchool\u2019s Out\u201d by Alice Cooper from \u2018School\u2019s Out\u2019 (1972)<\/p>\n
Before shock rocker Alice Cooper wrote this 1972 classic, he tried to figure out what the most thrilling moment of his life was. And what moment could he share with others? That\u2019s when the light bulb went off\u2014the last day of school! It brings such a thrill to every kid, and it\u2019s a feeling we all remember years later. That\u2019s when Cooper began writing this song, which essentially wrote itself. It\u2019s now become one of those works that fans revisit year after year, almost like a favorite holiday movie.<\/p>\n
\u201cHot For Teacher\u201d by Van Halen from \u20181984\u2019 (1984)<\/p>\n
While Alice Cooper wrote about running out of the building on the last day of school, iconic 1980s rock band Van Halen wrote about a different feeling, one they knew well while sitting in class. Sometimes you\u2019re lucky and you have a teacher who is so stunning that they take your mind off the math assignment at hand. That\u2019s the dynamic Van Halen riffed on here. While it may not be a topic of conversation at the PTA meetings, it sure is a reality of public schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cSmokin\u2019 In The Boys Room\u201d by Brownsville Station from \u2018Yeah!\u2019 (1973)<\/p>\n
There\u2019s running out of school on the last day, there\u2019s sitting there in class waiting for the time tick down, and then there\u2019s sneaking into the bathroom to be mischievous. That\u2019s what this 1973 rock song from Brownsville Station is all about. It doesn\u2019t happen nearly as much these days, but back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, people would often run to the bathroom to smoke a cigarette and complain about the principal or their history teacher. That\u2019s why Brownsville Station captured that and put it in a song!<\/p>\n
