Stalker Songs
Permalink Closed


I'm completely obsessed with songs about obsession- so much so that I'm writing a screenplay for a short about a celebrity stalker for my dramatic writing class.  So I was dreaming that it would be an actual movie and now I need to pick the soundtrack, and a good one, 'cause otherwise MTV won't endorse it (haha).


What I have so far:


Escape- Enrique Iglesias


Every Breath You Take- Police


Possesion- Sarah McLachlan


Loom- Ani DiFranco


Secret- Maroon 5


Blondie: One Way or Another


run for you life by the beatles


Smashing Pumpkins: Ava Adore


Barenaked Ladies- The Old Apartment


Everything but the Girl- Missing


...and I've bookmarked a bunch of sites that list stalker songs.  What have you got?

hahaha, stalker songs, thats great.  now i want to listen to your list!  the only song that instantly comes to my mind is another police song- don't stand so close to me. 


Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking She's so close now
This girls is half his age

Don't stand to close to me


la la la la


i think its a very classic obsession song, although for a true stalker song, i like to think of the soundtracks to Halloween and other Jason type horror movies.

Thinking, of an offspring or greenday song.   she's drunk again and ready to score....


I had a semi stalker dedicate this song to me (not because of the above line, that is all I can remember right now. Haha) Needless to say that song makes me think S T A L K E R !

Isn't there a song by that guy that was on American Idol about hiding in the closet?


ETA:  Found it.  Clay Aiken-Invisible.


"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room"


Just one of the fine lyrics to this song .

Laid by James


Stan by Eminem


I'm pretty sure Eminem does some stalking in other songs, too.

Goodnight & Go by Imogen Heap


Say goodnight and go

Skipping beats, flashing jeeps
I am struggling
Daydreaming, been sitting, the corner cafe
And I'm left in bits, recovered tectonic, trembling
You get me everytime

Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And your dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
You're taking everything off

Watch the curtains, wide open
And you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone

Oh why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

One of these days
You'll miss your train, and come stay with me
It's always say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks and talk about things
And any excuse to stay awake with you
You'd sleep here, I'd sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good, we'd be great together
Go

Why'd you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Why is it always, always

Goodnight and Go

Goodnight and Go!

Can I just say I've had the crappiest weekend ever (even though its my freaking b-day) and just the topic of this post made me laugh.  But I loved being reminded of this song Jess and it made me laugh outloud.  Now I want to go download some of these songs.

Back when I was in college, my roommates and I used to listen to this song and get creeped out:

"The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get" by Morrissey


The more you ignore me

The closer I get

You're wasting your time

The more you ignore me

The closer I get

You're wasting your time



I will be

In the bar

With my head

On the bar

I am now

A central part

Of your mind's landscape

Whether you care

Or do not

Yeah, I've made up your mind





The more you ignore me

The closer I get

You're wasting your time

The more you ignore me

The closer I get

You're wasting your time





Beware !

I bear more grudges

Than lonely high court judges

When you sleep

I will creep

Into your thoughts

Like a bad debt

That you can't pay

Take the easy way

And give in

Yeah, and let me in

Oh, let me in

Oh let me ...

Oh, let me in

IT'S WAR

IT'S WAR

IT'S WAR

IT'S WAR

IT'S WAR

WAR

WAR

WAR

WAR

Oh, let me in

Ah, the closer I get

Ah, you're asking for it

Ah, the closer I get

Ooh, the closer I ...

This is a semi-hijack, but after my ex husband & I split up he made me a CD of all kinds of songs - he called it a swan song CD. I still laugh every single time I pick it up - I listen to it every once in a while to remind me how insane he really was & how he didn't really know me at all - afterall, if he was trying to get me back, wouldn't he have made a cd full of songs I liked???? ( my new husband noted this when i let him listen to it, i thought he had a good point).

I could list the songs for you but I don't think they are really "stalker" songs, just pitiful ones! LOL

Editted to add: I think what you are doing is so cool!

On a humorous note, I love Goldfinger's "Stalker" -- Now I have it in my head (oh oh oh she's out of her tree-ee ...)


ooh ooh ooh ohhhhhhhhhhh
WOO!!!

she calls me on the phone
hoping that im home
(and that im all alone)
but when i say hello
i only hear dial tones
(she thinks that im her own)
out side my window she crept
watching my every step
ooh ooh ooh
shes following me
ooh ooh ooh
shes out of her tree
ooh ooh ooh
shes off of her rocker
I wanna marry my stalker
ooh ooh ooh ohhhhhhh
ooh ooh ooh WOO!!!
sometimes she says shes my mom
looks like she doesnt belong
(shes my own peeping tom)
flowers everyday
the cops theytell her to stay
500 feet away
she sleeps on my door step
she hasnt heard me yet
ooh ooh ooh
shes following me
ooh ooh ooh
shes out of her tree
ooh ooh ooh
shes off of her rocker
I wanna marry my
I wanna marry my
I wanna marry my stalker
this morning she wasnt there
I hope she still cares
I almost gave up hope
but today i awoke
to a private note
She said shes going to jail
for going through my mail
but she'll stay on my trail
ooh ooh ooh
shes following me
ooh ooh ooh
shes out of her tree
ooh ooh ooh
shes off of her rocker
i wanna marry my stalker
ooh ooh ooh
shes following me
ooh ooh ooh
shes out of her tree
ooh ooh ooh
shes off of her rocker
I wanna marry my
I wanna marry my
I wanna marry my stalker
ooh ooh ooh ohhhhh
i wanna marry my stalker

Thanks.  I just hope I can really get it off the ground once I'm finished with the class (early January).  When it's done, I'll post a link to the treatment & script.  Keep the suggestions coming!  These are great!

My favorite stalker song is Shadow by the Burden Brothers. And when they do it live... swoon! I want to be stalked by them (or a certain guitar player but I suppose that's another thread:wink). I bolded my favorite part. Is it kind of sick that I want to be stalked? Granted by a rock star but still...


I don't want to tie you down
I don't want to break your stride
So if you got to go then go
And I will be the shadow at your side
You know I got to find out
Just what you're made of
So this is your song now
This is your song now

And I am the shadow at your side
I am the shadow

So won't you put a light on
And put it in your window
To let me know you're at home
To let me know you're alone
Know that I am waiting
Always watching
Let me follow
Let me follow

And I am the shadow at your side
I am the shadow

Let me follow you
I will
Let me follow you
Let me

And I am the shadow at your side
I am the shadow

Obsession by Animotion


#1 Crush by Garbage


Maybe Creep by Radiohead?


This is kind of interesting, listening and reading these lyrics!
