Song of the Day: Somebody's Watching Me

"Rockwell" hit it big with this one back in the 80s. (not that recent) I thought it fitting giving the state's pending "Big Brother" legislation.

This one's got all the 80's trappings: heavy on the synthesizers and interesting video with over-the-top dramatics from performer. And yes, that is Micheal Jackson (and Jermaine) singing backup and in the chorus. At the peak of Micheal's popularity, too. It helps when your dad is Motown founder Berry Gordy (Rockwell's real name is Kenny William Gordy), your sister is married to Jermaine and your half-sister is the "love child" of Diana Ross.
