<P> The music video to "Somebody's Watching Me" (which uses the radio edit instead of the album version) underscores the song's paranoid tone with a haunted house - inspired theme, including imagery of floating heads, ravens, graveyards, and shower scenes referencing Psycho . </P> <P> The video opens with Rockwell coming home to discover that a newspaper in Chinese has been delivered to his doorstep . As he takes a quick shower, he begins to have strange visions (in a manner recalling The Dead Zone) of himself being pursued around his house by assorted ghoulish appartions, of the looming figure of a cadaverous - looking man, and of finding a tombstone engraved with his own name . His shower is interrupted when he hears something outside and goes out on his balcony to investigate . He is shocked to see the man from his visions standing at his gate, but as he struggles to get a better look in spite of the sun in his face he is greatly relieved to see that he is merely a mailman, coming to deliver the correct newspaper . As the mailman walks up the path towards the front porch, however, a brief close - up of his arm reveals that he is, in fact, a zombie . Rockwell emerges onto the porch to receive the paper, which the mailman genially hands over . As the mailman brings his other arm around to strike, Rockwell has just enough time to notice that he is not human . </P> <P> Due in part to the popularity of the music video, the song is sometimes used for Halloween celebrations, with cover versions found in various collections of Halloween music . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (1984) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Australia (Kent Music Report) </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Austria (Ö3 Austria Top 40) </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium (Ultratop 50 Flanders) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada Top Singles (RPM) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> France (IFOP) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Germany (Official German Charts) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ireland (IRMA) </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Italy (FIMI) </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands (Dutch Top 40) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands (Single Top 100) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> New Zealand (Recorded Music NZ) </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Norway (VG - lista) </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> South Africa (Springbok Radio) </Td> <Td> 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Spain (AFYVE) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sweden (Sverigetopplistan) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Switzerland (Schweizer Hitparade) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> UK Singles (Official Charts Company) </Td> <Td> 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Hot R&B / Hip - Hop Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Cash Box </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Dance / Disco Top 80 (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Top Tracks (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 31 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> <H3> Year - end charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (1984) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belgium (Ultratop 50 Flanders) </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada (RPM Top 100 Singles) </Td> <Td> 28 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> France (IFOP) </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Germany (Official German Charts) </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Italy (FIMI) </Td> <Td> 84 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands (Dutch Top 40) </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Netherlands (Single Top 100) </Td> <Td> 46 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 26 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Cash Box </Td> <Td> 21 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Top Black Singles (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <H3> Sales and certifications (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Region </Th> <Th> Certification </Th> <Th> Certified units / Sales </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Canada (Music Canada) </Th> <Td> Gold </Td> <Td> 5,000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> France </Th> <Td> </Td> <Td> 354,000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> United States (RIAA) </Th> <Td> Gold </Td> <Td> 1,000,000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> United States (RIAA) </Th> <Td> Gold </Td> <Td> 500,000 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="3"> <P> sales figures based on certification alone shipments figures based on certification alone </P> </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
