I'll see your Rockwell and I'll raise you Norman Bates (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=8309705A47B0E123) by Landscape.

It's not a classic by any stretch (except in the sense that everything was called "classic" in the 80s), but if I were going to list "terrible" things from that decade, Rockwell's song wouldn't come up.

"Somebody's Watching Me," by Rockwell, is...

...one of the songs I've heard butchered at a Chuck E. Fuckin' Cheese. (Seriously. A video of that song sung by one of the pizza-eaters at that place showed like 4 times at my twin nephews' play time at a Chuck E. Cheese two years ago. I still haven't washed it out of my brain!)

...um. Should my answer be "Other" then?

The real question is: Better or worse than "Say Say Say"? And wasn't he on "Don't Come Around Here no More?" Or am I thinking of something else?

I remember this video freaked me out as a kid.

Other. I don't think I've ever heard it but it makes me think of the song from Footloose.

That song always grated on me. But, eh, not enough to feel very strongly about. I still said it was terrible.

how about "Lawn Chairs" by Our Daughter's Wedding

I'm surprised at the number of people that don't know Michael Jackson is singing background in the chorus.

I always assumed that was at least a factor in the song' success.

Yet "Do The Bartman" isn't in as heavy a rotation.

It's a crappy video, of a quality song since the guy's dad is one of the most talented men in music.

Nepotism only goes so far.

Berry barely even acknowledges Rockwell these days.
