Okay, I heard this song once on one of those "Hits of the 80s" nights, and I barely remember any of it, but I know it was catchy and it was a man singing about "I beginning to see that someone's always watching me..." something like that and there was one part where he sang, "Maybe the IRS...." but that's all I got. Sorry I don't have more info...I heard it sometime at the beginning of the year and I listen to the same classic rock stations, but haven't heard it since. Probably a one hit wonder, but still a great song...If anyone has any ideas, its appreciated.
Peace out

Somebody's watching me - Rockwell
(written by Michael Jackson)


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 9 to 5, 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, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me, is it just a dream

When I come home at night
I bang the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Or 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 touch
But maybe showers remind me of "Psycho" too much
That's why...

I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?

Who's watching me
I don't know anymore!
Are the neighbours 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, whoa-oa-oa
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, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
Who's watching me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Oooh, whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me, can it be?
Who's watching me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Whoa-oa-oa
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
Who's watching me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Can I have my privacy
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?




Oh, and you were right: Rockwell turned out to be a one hit wonder. ;)

Actually, Rockwell was a two hit wonder.  In 1984, he had a second top 40 hit with the track 'Obscene Phone Caller'.  It reached #35 on the American Billboard Charts.  Sadly, it's a track that not alot of people remember, but it is quite catchy :)

Hmmm, isn't he Berry Gordy's son?  ;)

yep..he is..

Here's some trivia about this song, which I bet many of you already know:

Nowhere in the song does Rockwell sing "Somebody's Watching Me".  Those chorus vocals were provided by an uncredited Michael Jackson :)

Did that kid want a music career or just a few laughs?  I mean Rockwell, of course!  No agent in his right mind would tell you to try top one gag record with another, especially one that's nearly identical!  Of course, Gordy's son could do whatever he wanted, I suppose.

I used to think MJ sang it, too. Sounds like him (but I guess with him singing the chorus would be why it sounded like him)
