Mötley Crüe version[edit]


Music video[edit]

The video focuses on a high school student named Jimmy, who is first seen running to school. But he drops his homework on the way then hears growling and sees a Doberman with a star on its chest. The dog runs and grabs a paper in Jimmy's homework with its mouth and then runs off. When Jimmy gets to school, he tells his teacher that a dog ran off with his homework, causing his classmates to laugh. Jimmy is sent to the office where the desk and the principal (played by Michael Berryman) seem far away across the room. After Jimmy tells the principal what he had told his teacher, the principal takes out a large, black paddle with "Board of Education" written on it in red, and he tells Jimmy to "BEND OVER!". Presumably having just had his butt paddled, a frustrated Jimmy goes to the boys bathroom where he sees Motley Crüe in the mirrors. The band pulls him in, and Jimmy and Motley Crüe look through a barred window and see people working and singing the song. When the band throws Jimmy out of the mirror, the principal comes in with the found homework assignment and says he owes Jimmy an apology. But Jimmy rips it up and it flies on the principal's head. At the end of the video when Jimmy leaves the bathroom, Nikki Sixx takes the principal's hair away, shocking the principal.
