- Fatal Attraction meets the classroom based on the 1980 classic Police song which finds Junior Honors English teacher David English the obsession of one of his students. The class goes on an outing to Las Vegas and there are a lot of scenes on the Las Vegas strip. The student not only stalks other students that she feels is a threat to her so-called obsession but there are murders taking place around him. The story is based off the song:
"Don't Stand So Close to Me" is a 1980 song and hit single by the British rock band The Police. It concerns a schoolgirl's crush on her young teacher which leads to an affair, which in turn is discovered. The Police won the 1982 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for this song.
In 1986, a re-recorded version of the song was released as "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86".
Background[edit]
The song deals with the mixed feelings of lust, fear and guilt that a female student has for a school teacher and vice versa, and inappropriateness leading to confrontation which is unraveled later on in the song. The music and lyrics of the song were written by the lead singer of The Police, Sting, who had previously worked as an English teacher. In a 2001 interview for the concert DVD ...All This Time, Sting denied that the song is autobiographical. The line "Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov" alludes to Vladimir Nabokov's novel, Lolita, which covers somewhat similar issues.
