they’re hummable their toe tappers but
they’ve got lyrics that’ll blow your
minds necessarily in a good way
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
stocker songs
for this list we looked at a mix of
songs that were actually about stalkers
or from a stalkers point of view those
that sounded sweet but upon further
examination were not and those that
hinted at obsessive behavior or unwanted
attention we’ve excluded songs that
could possibly fall into the jailbait
category because that’s a list for
another day
I’m not watching
number ten Boyer blink-182
well at least they’re upfront about it
this track off the punk rock group
second albums dude ranch tells the tale
of a guy who can pluck up the courage to
do anything around a woman except talk
to her
maybe that’s just not as thing sitting
on a tree branch outside his object of
affections window our pantsless narrator
is challenged by foliage curtains and
the girls ass-kicking brother
still he doesn’t let these obstacles
deter him in his quest to see his sweet
lady
number nine Sten mmm featuring Dido Jess
shrim
I wrote you what you still ain’t calling
I left my cell my pager and my home
phone at the bottom I sent two letters
back in autumn you must not I got him an
ode to the dark side of Fame Stan takes
the form of a series of letters written
by an imaginary fan obsessed with Slim
Shady if you didn’t want to talk to me
outside the concert you didn’t happen
you could’ve signed an autograph for
Matthew that’s my little brother man
he’s only six years old we waited in the
blistering cold for you before hours
just that no that’s pretty as the song
progresses Stan describes his deranged
attempts to connect with the rapper find
that man though I just don’t like me
alive remember when we met they produce
that if I write you you would write back
he’s anger at failing to do so
eventually leads him to kill his
pregnant girlfriend and commit suicide
by grabbing his car off a bridge I’m
almost at the bridge now oh I forgot
come on focus in it
is it any wonder stan is now used to
describe people who are excessively
infatuated with something or someone
McCarty found it Shane but it is safe we
will soon come to think about it his
name with it will suit number eight
possession Sarah McLaughlin trauma cross
the Great Divide although it reads like
a love song possession was actually
inspired by a number of creepy fan
letters Sarah McLaughlin received
in fact a year after the song’s release
the singer was sued by a fan who claimed
he was the source of those letters
since he committed suicide the case
never went to court
but there’s no denying that a back story
like this gives new meaning to lyrics
like
kids
number seven I will possess your heart
Death Cab for Cutie see the potential
potential of you and me this tune starts
off innocent enough but the creepiness
factor slowly Rises and I know that
you’ll find love I will possess your
horror despite a simple and catchy
chorus this def cab single moves from
expressing a puppy love type of
affection to one that’s dark and
demanding
by the time the songs bridge arrives
it’s apparent the singers admiration
isn’t being received quite how we’d like
it to be mono that you’ll find love I
will possess your heart nonetheless he
remains determined that he will possess
their heart
I know that you find
number six hey there Delila Plain White
T’s hey there Delilah what’s it like in
New York City of a thousand miles away
but girl tonight you look so pretty
on the surface it sounds like a
long-distance love letter sum Square
gunshots buzz cut let’s dig a little
deeper shall we
songwriter Tom higgenson actually
confessed the Grammy nominated single is
about his unrequited love for real-life
distance runner Delilah decrescendo hey
the Delilah got so much left to say if
every simple song I wrote to you take
your breath away I ride along
even though she had a boyfriend when
they met the Plain White T’s frontman
wrote the song with her in mind I was
like you know you know what I will write
you a song and it’s going to be the song
you know it’s gonna be the best song I
have a write and it’s going to be the
one that gets us famous and you know
you’ll be my date for the Grammys they
never got together but they did keep in
touch and she even accompanied him to
the Grammys
number five you’re beautiful
James Blunt my life is precious my love
is pure ladies don’t smile at random
guys in the subway at least that’s what
we take from this folk rock tune
she’s smiling me on the subway
shoes with another man although James
Blunt claims he’s got a plan to get the
girl with another man he takes the high
road and doesn’t actually act on it in
the song yes
as I want to buy
she could see from my face I was flying
instead he continues to profess his love
for the woman he probably only saw for
all of three seconds yeah
you’re beautiful
at least he’s honest with himself and
admits he’ll never be with her can’t say
we’re surprised I will never be with you
number four hungry like the wolf Duran
Duran
packed with the sound of early 80s
synth-pop and copying a Gordon Lightfoot
melody this Duran Duran hit is a
sexually charged spin on little red
riding-hood
primal and animalistic it depicts a
wolf-like man on the hunt for a mate
duh you
on top of the fact that there is no
mention of any consent or mutual
interest on the woman’s part Simon Lebon
actually admits he’s stalking her with
the lyrics
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
number three hello Lionel Richie hello
bursting with lust and wonder this R&B
and soft rock number is sung to a person
who’s had the misfortune of walking past
Lionel Richie’s door
meanwhile the question he asks following
the hello appears to be rhetorical as
the former Commodore seems pretty sure
he is the one you’re looking for
all this has us wondering if it’s a
restraining order Lionel’s looking for
the sunlight
I’ll tell you time and time again how
much
number two one way or another blondie
could say there are worse people to be
stalked by but that’s a bit weird
written by Debbie Harry this blondie
track draws on the singers actual
experiences with a former boyfriend whom
she called a stalker and a nutjob
despite its bouncy and danceable sound
one way or another takes on new meaning
when you realize it’s sung from the
perspective of an obsessed individual
not all bad though as Harry flips the
lyrics later in the song and gives old
Johnny Creepshow the slip
before we unveil our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions now
and those looking chilled bathroom last
man even a watching you get yourself
Oh
can you cut you
swag
I saw the light on the night that I
passed by who in blue I saw the
flickering shadows of love on a blind
number one every breath you take the
police described by sting is rather evil
and a nasty little song this ditty is
often misinterpreted as a love song
but it actually goes far beyond
voyeurism and moves into full-on
surveillance
it’s not just stings omnipresent lyrics
the music itself seems to stock the
listener you speak Bobby watch
along with Andy summers cold and
haunting arpeggios their stings bass
lines and Stewart Copeland stood not a
crumb
but even the one note piano part is
creepy

favorite stalker song
