The video for Somebody's Watching Me scared the shit out of me when I was about 8 or 9. Earlier tonight, I was telling someone about it, and how the song is the one used in those annoying Geico ads with the stack of money with the googly eyes, and I just got a blank look. So for anyone else culturally unaware--or, er, under the age of 25, who have never heard of Rockwell, or possibly even music videos--here is a true classic.
Fun fact: Back when VH1 would not only run videos, but videos aimed primarily at people in their 30s and 40s--Phil Collins, Michael Bolton, and Rod Stewart used to be in heavy rotation--they'd air a "Scariest Videos of All Time" special each Halloween. I want to say this was the number two video, right behind Thriller, but I can't be sure. The only other ones I recall from the list were Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters (which wasn't scary) and The Jackson's Torture (which was even scarier than Somebody's Watching Me, but the song sucked).
