Last week, I shared with you that I would be blogging about creepy/songs music videos during the month of October. My first post was about the song “Du Riechst So Gut” by Rammstein (Check out the post here.)
This week, I’ve selected a creepy song/music video from the 1980s: Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me.”
Lyrics:
Who’s watching?
Tell me, who’s watching?
Who’s watching me?I’m just an average man with an average life
I work from nine to five, hey, hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight zone and?I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone, I’m trying to avoid
But can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?
When I’m in the shower I’m afraid to wash my hair
‘Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there
People say I’m crazy, just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That’s whyI always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playing tricks on me?I don’t know anymore
Are the neighbors watching me?
(Who’s watching?)
Well, is the mailman watching me?
(Tell me who’s watching?)
And I don’t feel safe anymore, oh, what a mess
I wonder who’s watching me now (who?), the IRS?I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?I always feel like somebody’s watching me
And I have no privacy (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playing tricks on me?I always feel like somebody’s watching me (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
(Who’s watching me?)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playing tricks on me?
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Can I have my privacy? (ooh ooh)
I always feel like somebody’s watching me
Who’s playing tricks on me?
I remember that the first time I watched this music video was when my mom showed it to me when I was a kid. I remember her saying, “This video always creeped me out!” 😉 Of course, I thought it was a super creepy video when I was a kid! 
I hadn’t actually seen the video for ages until I watched it again to blog about it this week, and it actually is STILL a creepy video! 😮 Well done! 🙂
The RollingStone did an article about this song and the music video. I was very interested to learn that some of the lyrics in Rockwell’s song were inspired by a neighbor girl that regularly played pranks on him. 🙂
Additionally, I was surprised to learn that the music video was not what Rockwell had envisioned for the song. 😮 Rockwell said:
“I had storyboards and I thought [the director] was paying attention to me…I wanted it to be a little lighter. But when I went to the set to start shooting, it was all this dark stuff. There was blood and a tombstone with my name on it. He didn’t listen to anything I presented. I just had to go with it because we didn’t have time to switch it up.”
Although I don’t know what Rockwell had wanted for his music video, might I say that the director made a good choice? 😉
What do you think of this video?

I really like this song… haven’t heard it in ages 🙂
