Not Your Teacher – “Hot For Teacher” Van Halen Parody

Metal parody show Two Minutes to Late Night featured members of War on Women and High on Fire performing covers of Van Halen songs for the Slay at Home live stream. The group went by the name “PanaMama” for their set, which included War on Women’s frontwoman Shawna Potter and High on Fire drummer, Des Kensel.

The performance included covers of Van Halen’s “Aint’ Talkin’ Bout Love,” “On Fire,” “Jamie’s Cryin’” and “Panama.” Beginning with Van Halen’s iconic guitar, “PanaMama” stayed close to the originals as Potter mimicked Van Halen, her voice hitting hard with each note. Gwarsenio Hall wore his regular corpse-like face paint, changing from his typical suit into a pair of red overalls.

The camera pans between each member of the PanaMama Van Halen Cover Band, their instruments in synch so it sounds as if they are all performing together, despite Potter being in a studio as the rest are in various rooms around their houses. Hall continuously jumps up and down his couch, moving around his living room with the shots showing him side-by-side one another.
