Vid: Somebody's Watching Me

Summary:

Are we even completely sure these actors knew they were in a movie?

Notes:

This was made for seekingferret's Vid Roulette Challenge: He bought one of those "40 movies for $10" DVD sets and handed out discs at random to volunteers at Vividcon 2017, challenging each vidder to come up with a vid from one, some, or all of the terrible movies they'd just been handed.

Only two vidders were left standing by the time a year had passed (which is a shame, because it was really fun to do). Those were both shown at the Vid Roulette Room Party at Vividcon 2018.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Somebody's Watching Me, performed by Rockwell:

[Who's watching?]
[Tell me who is 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, and

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy. Woh,
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.
Well, 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...

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy. Woh,
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 neighbors watching me?
[Who is watching?]
Well, is the mailman watching me?
[Tell me who is watching.]
And I don't feel safe anymore
Oh, what a mess!
I wonder who's watching me now
[WHO?] the I.R.S.?

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy. Woh
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. Woh
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Who's playing tricks on me?
[Who's Watchin' Me?]

I always feel like somebody's watching me. Woh,
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Tell me: Who can it be?
[Who's Watchin' me?]
I always feel like somebody's watching me.
