Somebody's Watchin' Me

Somebody's Watching Me is a self titled single EP from 1984and is by '80's Motown/ pop-rock artist Rockwell. It is as popular as it gets with a Paranormal Tune. The video is set in a haunted house/ Psycho type of theme, which is quite fitting for it. It is a carnival caricature of the classic horror movie genre.
The song features famed Motown artists (and brothers) Jermaine and Michael Jackson.  It was remixed and released on Michael Jackson's post mortem album 'Immortal' in 2011. Also released as a remixed single on Beatfreakz in 2006.
It has been in many movies as well as a series of GEICO Insurance commercials.

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

(chorus) And (I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
And I have no privacy
Whooooa - oh - o
(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 t.v. 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 why

(chorus) (I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
And I have no privacy
Whooooa - oh - oh
(I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
Who's playing tricks on me

[Instrumental Interlude]

(Who's watching 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 I.R.S.

(chorus) (I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
And I have no privacy
Whooooa, oh-oh
(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
Whooooa, oh-oh
(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)
Oooooh
Whooooa - oh-oh
(I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
So? Who can it be
(Who's watching me)
(I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
Whooooa -oh-oh
(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
Whooooa -oh-oh
(I always feel like)
(Somebody's watching me)
Who's playing tricks on me

This video is 100% Paranormal Tunes material!

On the Beat Freaks video... a strong PG-13, but done really well. If you are opposed to your children seeing legs and 'booties', ya might just want to cover the screen and listen to the song. It is a great techno rendition of this song. The 'Midget' Michael Jackson (not kidding folks!) is worth watching! Enjoy!
