“Teacher’s Pet,” from Extreme’s 1989 self-titled debut, is a high-energy funk-rock track that mixes playful humor with the band’s signature technical skill. Written by Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, the song satirizes infatuation and obsession in a tongue-in-cheek way, all while delivering tight grooves, catchy riffs, and dynamic vocals. Its relentless pace and funky rhythm section make it both fun and technically impressive. The mood is mischievous, lively, and irreverent—an early showcase of Extreme’s blend of virtuosity and humor.
