Speaking of 80's videos

I have to confess something. Many, many years ago, when I was but an innocent college student, I tuned into MTV one night and saw the video for Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me."


Yes, it's lame yet oddly catchy. Yes, Rockwell wore boxer shorts in the shower. Yes, it never would've gone anywhere if Michael Jackson hadn't been talked into crooning the chorus, "I always feel like -- somebody's waaaaaaaatching meeeeee!" But that's not what haunts me.

What haunts me is, who the hell played the zombie mailman?


Because for a zombie mailman, he was pretty damn hot. I never thought necrophilia would interest me, but in this case I'd make an exception.

You may be the only person I know who could watch a video featurng a comely (if untalented) young man in a towel and get wet only at the sight of a zombie mailman. At least you're consistent.

Comely? ROCKWELL? Are you on the pipe again?

Melanie said...

Just rewatched the video to make sure. Nope, I don't see it.

Uncle Robbie said...

Of course you don't, Pupcake, he has good teeth and all his hair. He's also not 93 and pasty. What could you possibly see in him? He's certainly no Ian Holm.

Melanie said...

True. Sir Ian has talent.

Sometimes enthusiasm is preferable to talent.

Melanie said...

Sweetie, where are you seeing enthusiasm? He kept his boxer shorts on for the shower scene. I ask you.

Unlike you, pupcake, I prefer a discernible pulse.
