Teacher, Teacher is a song first recorded in Spring 1982 at Prince's Kiowa Trail Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota (along with several other tracks that would re-appear over the next several years). In early 1986, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman worked on the track further, at either Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota, or the Washington Avenue Warehouse in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, adding vocals and sitar. It was included as the eighth track on the late April 1986, configuration of the Prince and the Revolution album Dream Factory. It was included as the seventh track on the first disc of the 3 June 1986 configuration, but was not included on the 18 July 1986 configuration. It was later sent to Three O'Clock for consideration along with Neon Telephone, Girl O' My Dreams, We Can Funk and Can't Stop This Feeling I Got, but the band decided to use only Neon Telephone.

The song was released in 2019 as the tenth track on the Vault Tracks part 2 disc of a Deluxe edition of the 1999 album.

	1999 Deluxe album Dream Factory unreleased album	The released mix of this track was done by Nick Bolas specifically for the 1999 Deluxe release. It was made to replicate the original mix from the time the song was initially tracked, as much as possible. So even when a slightly different mix of this track might exist, the now released version is not considered a true alternate mix of the track.
