And the winners are . . .

It proved absolutely impossible for me to choose from among all the amazing stalker song entries so I got Scott to pick six numbers between 1 & 116. (That’s how many entries there were: one hundred and sixteen!)

Scott went to Random.org for the numbers thus they are truly random.

The winners are comment numbers 49, 49, 109, 98, 4, 25 and 114:

49: Cristina:
Faint by Linkin Park:
“I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it’s like no matter what I do
I can’t convince you to just believe this is real”

“Sin miedo a nada” by Alex Ubago [translated to the best of my ability]:
“I die to beg you
That you don’t leave my life
I die to hear you
Say the things you never say
But I keep quiet and you leave
I keep hope
To be able someday
To not have to hide the wounds
It hurts to think
That I love you a every day a bit more.”

109: Zahra Ali:
Oh no, someone told me I posted a song that was already posted. I don’t know if that’s allowed

Just in case, I’ll post this one:
————
OKaysions- Girl Watcher

I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher…
Watchin’ girls go by, hey, my my
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher…
Here comes one now…

I was just a boy when I threw away my toys
And found a new pastime to dwell on
Whenever I detects them there of the other sex
I play the game I do so well on

Mumble something female, my my, but you do look swell
Could you please walk a little slower…
Wonder if you know that you’re putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer…
———-

My second creepiest song. He’s FOLLOWING her, it freaks me out xD Hope it creeps you out too!

98: Morgan Says:
Does a parody song count? My friends and I made a parody of Stop and Stare by One Republic called “Stalk and Stare” The chorus goes-

Stalk and Stare
I think about you all the time
I swear
You are mine and I will never share
oh oh ooooh

Stalk and Stare
When you are alone
I am always there
So tell your Boyfriend to beware
oh oh ooooh

Stalk and Stare
I love the way the moonlight
shines on your hair
Without you there would be no air
oh oh ooooh

It keeps going and gets pretty crazy.

But if it has to be song I would go with “Somebody’s Watching Me” By Micheal Jackson. This one of course is from the stalkee’s point of view. I want to know how no one thought of this song though!

When I’m in the shower
I’m afraid to wash my hair
‘Cause I might open my eyes
And find someone standing there
People say I’m crazy
Just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me
Of Psycho too much
That’s why

(I always feel like)
(Somebody’s watching me)
And I have no privacy
Whooooa, oh-oh
(I always feel like)
(Somebody’s watching me)
Who’s playin’ tricks on me

Then there is also “Kelsey” by Metro Station

So take one word you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you’re going next
You got your head pushed to my chest
and now you’re hoping that someone let’s you in
Well I’ll sure let you in
You know ill let you in
Oh Kelsey, you.

So don’t let anyone scare you
You know that I’ll protect you
Always,
now through the thick and thin
Until the end
You better watch it
You know you don’t cross it because
I’m always here for you
and I’ll be here for you
(I know x3) I know how it feels believe me
I’ve been there and
(I know x3) I know what it feels like
tell me Kelsey

And I’ll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh Kelsey
and I’ll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh Kelsey
(i hear you darlin’)

Find More lyrics at http://www.sweetslyrics.com
Now it’s gonna get harder
and it’s gonna burn brighter
and it’s gonna feel tougher each and every day
so let me say, that i love you
you’re all I’ve ever wanted
all I’ve ever dreamed of to come
and yes you did come
i want you so bad (so bad)
can you feel it too? (it too)
you know I’m so, I’m so in love with you
i want you, so much
i need you, so much
i need your, i need your, your touch

and I’ll swim the ocean for you
the ocean for you
whoa, oh Kelsey
x4
and you never ever let me in (let me in)
x4

The entire song is full of stalkerish sayings!
4: Remula:
Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Catch You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfUBdgQtjn4

One of my favorite stalker songs, haha. XP
25: Erika:
Definitely Helen Hunt by Hank Green. Hahaha

http://wiki.dftba.com/index.php/Helen_Hunt

Um… Plain White T’s are very stalkerish… Hey there Delilah, You and Me, Write You a Song, and I could go on…

You Found Me by Kelly Clarkson, kind of the other person is the stalker here. I mean just read the chorus:
“You found me
When no one else was lookin’
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn’t leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me”

114: Tom Says:

There is a song called the stalker song by the Australian comedy group Tripod. It sort of misses the point a bit because it’s meant to be a little (read: a lot) creepy. It is pretty funny, though.

Check it out:

So. Man. Very. Creepy. Songs. So glad so many of you realise that stalking is not a sign of love!

The first four get a signed Love Is Hell plus a signed Liar sampler and the last two get a Liar sampler.

Oooh, lucky lucky people!

I was just cooking dinner and humming to myself…and then it hit me: “Baby It’s Cold Outside!” I had to run here to see if anyone mentioned it, or if the winners were announced.

Seriously though, “What’s in this drink?” Potential date rapist songs were never so adorable.

I’m starting to think that all songs are stalkers songs. It’s disturbing!

Congrats to the lucky winners.

I think I’m going to need a ruling on the Plain White Ts. How is “Hey there Delilah” a stalker song? My stalker threshold is pretty low and I still don’t see that at all. It’s a very sweet love song about a guy thinking of his girlfriend very very far away!

Lucia Says:

I was about to complain about Alex Ubago’s song being considered “stalking”, then I played it and listened to the lyrics again.
The song became popular as a duet with a female singer, which kind of softened out the stalkiness xD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgdWEDtfQlU&feature=related
…but if you listen to the lyrics it really is a bit creepy.

I think many love songs are, if not stalkery, at least disturbing. I remember once really listening to Billy Joel’s “Just the Way You Are,” and thinking, wait, wait, “I don’t want clever conversation”? Clever conversation strikes me as one of the most important things you can have in a relationship. What the heck is wrong with that guy? Oh, that’s right, he doesn’t want to work that hard…

Ariel Zeitlin Cooke Says:

I always thought Sting’s Every Breath You Take should be called The Stalker Anthem:

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please…

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you…

I mean, how creepy is that when you really think about it? But maybe it was too obvious to win.

Cristina Says:

Ever since the contest I’ve been hearing stalker songs everywhere. My sister and I were playing some music around the house the other day and during every other song that came up one of us would look up and say “did you hear that? stalker!”

Lucia: You know, I actually like the song better when he is singing it alone. not that I dont like Amaia of course…

Patrick Says:

Diana – I think it was the inspiration for the song, not the lyrics that makes it stalkerish — about a girl he met, but never dated.

Diana Peterfreund Says:

Does the average radio listener know that? I never did, and I played it at my wedding!

July 9th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Patrick Says:

Well, I’m the wrong person to judge a wedding song. My wife walked down the aisle to Darth Vader’s theme and our song was “Turn My Head” by Live.

I think some people were just putting down any love song and calling it stalkerish – ’cause Justine swings that way.
