Rockwell- "Obscene Phone Caller"

Remember this 80s jam? His second single, after "Somebody's Watching Me"

The lyrics trip me out too. I think Rockwell had a voyeurism fetish--Someboady's Watching Me, Obscene Phone Caller, Peeping Tom...anybody else see the pattern there?

I always loved that song! It never really caught on, though.

It was just a concept album. I remember when it was released everyone was jammin to

this song the same way as Somebody's Watching Me.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Peeping Tom was on his second album. Maybe the voyeurism fetish continued to the next record?
