Rockwell - Obscene Phone Caller Lyrics






I came home knocked out after work

That's when my telephone goes berserk.
How can I unwind or get some rest
Receiving sick phone calls from a lonely pest.
Find someone else to bother
Mister or Miss Obscene Phone Caller.
Why do you get off breathing on that phone

Obscene Phone Caller leave me alone.
Why did you have to pick me out of all the people in the directory

I don't know what's going thru' your mind

But these nackoff phone calls are a waste of time.
I must have my number changed
Or trace these calls from whence they came

If Alexander Bell were alive today
Would he want the telephone to be used this way?
Find someone else to bother
Mister or Miss Obscene phone Caller...
Obscene phone Caller
find someone else to bother.
Obscene phone Caller
you dirty little nasty twit

  2. S.... S....

    Is this song and video the reason why kids prank call then and these days?🤣😆

  3. G.... ....

    Rockwell almost surely would have been a shoo-in for the front office at Motown, filling Berry Gordy's shoes. Wonder why that never happened?

  4. b.... ....

    this song is too underrated imo

  5. J.... E....

    2:42 my father used to answer the phone like that in the early 1980s lol

  6. J.... P....

    "If Alexander Bell were alive today, would he want the telephone to be used this way"

    I forgot how sexy Rockwell looked, I would defo have made an obscene phone call to him. :)~

  15. r.... h....

    I had a few obscene phone callers in my life ....and there was a time "I" myself was the obscene phone caller too. I was a teen back in the 1980s....don't tell me you all wasn't once an obscene phone caller too back in the days of "land line phones, 3-way calls (party line), break dancing, Pac Man, big hairs, and spud mackenzie"?

  16. T.... G....

    Nice and easy.

  17. G.... U....

    The Weeknds father....

  18. m.... ....

    I love how it's connected to the first video. It's like a Rockwell Cinematic Universe

  19. D.... R....

    why you guys call him weird and mad scientist???

  20. K.... K....

    I was 3 years old in 1989 I grew up in the 90's.

  21. S.... 8....

  22. C.... K....

    @2:57 when your mom walks in while your cursing

  23. N.... L....

    not bad☺

  24. R.... ....

    Wow, he must be one paranoid man. After I always feel like somebody's watching me and obscene phone caller I don't know any other popular songs of his. Maybe the whoever was watching him or the obscene phone caller got a hold of him!!

  25. F.... L....

    This mail man needs to chill

  26. J.... M....

    Too bad this song wasn't on Call Me (1988) soundtrack

  27. I.... ....

    This was so freekn New Wave, hilarious. MJ really helped put Rockwell over by singing background on 'Somebody's Watching Me'. It pays to be connected, right? LMBO!!!

  28. F.... s....

    He really looks like Etika when he plays the violin.

  29. R.... L....

    Cool little new wave vibe

  30. D.... J....

    This song is such a fucking jam! Maybe even more so than “somebody’s watching me” in my opinion

  31. N.... W....

    I was around in those days...never heard it till youtube. Where was I ? This is completely brilliant ! Somehow brings back that whole era.

  32. N.... W....

    Do people still make obscene phone calls ?

    N.... W....

    No these day they send the swat team as a prank call

  33. A.... L....

    "cocain's a hell of a drug.. " - rockwell

  34. A.... J....

    why cant i find this song anywhere lol

  35. j.... ....

    Like the two hits.

  36. H.... C....

    I Love to be paranoid thank you Rockwell.

  37. D.... T....

    Just when I thought I heard and saw everything from the 80s. lol

  38. U.... t....

    The lighting in this video reminds me of old sitcoms...it's really nostalgic...

  39. T.... ....

    I bet he went into protective custody programme since the 80s

    T.... ....

    I just found out he's the Motown's founder son and beat the crap out of a woman in 2018

  40. S.... ....

  41. P.... J....

    Wow, love this one!

  42. A.... f....

    Paranoia at it's finest

  43. Y.... ....

    She still calling him at the end of the video

  44. Y.... ....

    "Who is this!" lol

  45. i.... ....

    Awful follow up to his major hit

  46. M.... W....

    Who would want to call this guy

  47. U.... ....

    Super camp and cheesy video!

  48. N.... B....

    Charted at #35 on The Hot-100, but how in the hell did this completely miss the R&B Singles chart ?!??!?!?!?

  49. H.... C....

    Fun days people had from the early 80's, I was born in November 11, 1986 & I was 3 years of age in the late 80's 1989, fun times I had in New Orleans watching television & playing video games, I never watched bodybuilding women Channel on television & I didn't watch MTV that much in 1989, I only watched Beavis & Butt-Head on March 8, 1993. I remember watching Stacy Q music video two of hearts on one of those music videos Channel on television in 1989, I did know that music album from some where in New Orleans.

  50. U.... P....

    African, 1980, America, That is why he is paranoid.

  51. K.... ....

    I was born in the very late 90's, but I seem to pursue the 20th century. I don't know if it's the nostalgia-loving generation I was born in or what, but I love anything to do from that century. I think it's where each decade is so different from each other. I like to go through tv/film/music/books and even fashion so I can sort of experience the certain year I'm looking at, even though I can't enjoy what my parents or grandparents enjoyed back in their day, this is as close as I can get, but it's so much fun. I've gone thru Wikipedia and checked out movies/tv and albums that came out in 1984 (also an avid WWE fan and have finished '84 on the WWE Network) and it's quite eye-opening; I've found a handful of amazing albums that came out that year, like "Into The Gap" by Thompson Twins, "The Smiths" selftitled album and this one, not to mention the metal that emerged from this year <3 I enjoy this time travelling <3

  52. m.... ....

    I like how this video has the mailman from the first Rockwell video. It's RCU... Rockwell Cinematic Universe.

  53. B.... R....

    He was one paranoid dude???? Thinking everybody wants his black toosie roll.

  54. P.... ....

    Yep rockwell knows what organized stalking is. COINTELPRO.

  55. R.... K....

    Call someone's house and say ribbit all night.

  56. K.... F....

    This song came after his big hit"somebody's watching me"

  57. O.... W....

    Whos wathong

  58. T.... A....

    Introducing,....Kenneth Gordy-AKA- Rockwell!

  59. N.... ....

    Yes this was his other hit

  60. n.... ....

    Me and my best friend did a break dance routine in high school during a dance that we had practice for a while. It felt good to do something with him haven't seen him in 31 years. I don't even think he's alive.

  61. k.... o....

    I think we found out who's been watching him it's the creepy mailman 34 year old mystery solved lmao 😂 😂

  62. d.... S....

    what ever happened to this guy!

  63. G.... ....

    Amazingly unique. The whole album is killer

  64. D.... G....

    Barry Gordy's son

  65. A.... R....

    This man was paranoid out his mind....

  66. N.... t....

    I think Rockwell might been like legit crazy.

  67. n.... l....

    Obscene Service Provider

  68. L.... ....

    Is... is he trying for an English accent? That kinda doubles the creepy.

    L.... ....

    He did an interview GQ Magazine and said he only did the British to separate himself from Michael Jackson. He didn't want people to feel he was American...because at that time Michael was the King in America back then. He said he decided to go with a British accent to get away from being American.

  69. f.... l....

    Thank you so much for posting this classic from this underrated electrifying artist!

  70. N.... 1....

    2018 Watching?

  71. J.... G....

    You guys don’t understand it

  72. J.... Z....

    So weeeiird.

  73. G.... ....

    Nice song, big rockwell

  74. T.... ....

    well that went downhill rather quickly...

  75. T.... 1....

    Whereis he now?

  76. R.... ....

    This video is one of the most 80s from the 80s

  77. G.... ....

    He was privileged. Michael Jackson on his lead out single. Then this beautifully written masterpiece. But Mickelson Jagger can't sing either

  78. J.... ....

    2:34 bkkk melhor parte 👆😂. Amei essa música 🌸

  79. H.... S....

    does anyone else see Carlton????

  80. M.... C....

    go pla!

  81. R.... I....

    One of the best song in my childhood.

  82. N.... ....

    God this guy sucks. He has no talent. He's like a male version of LaToya Jackson

    N.... ....

    I think he's brilliant.

  83. m.... ....

    Always wondered why Berry Gordy didn't develop his son's career more.

  84. S.... L....

    Mate He had Style i'll tell u That--Rockwell can sing, rap, jive, & Look Like Prince All at the Same Time!! This Song Is Funny.

  85. J.... M....

    I swear man.. This artist was absolute crap.... This is what happens when your dad is Bary Gordy and you have nothing good to do with your time...

    J.... M....

    I think he was just having fun. he doesn't seem to take himself that seriously

    J.... M....

    JGS Music that shut sold units tho. Having MJ doing your chorus didn't hurt either

    J.... M....

    Reborn8303 I agree, I love the Beats to his songs back in the day LOL but you're right he wasn't a serious artists at all it was just something fun and of course Michael Jackson helped a lot.

    J.... M....

    JGS Music ...I remember in an interview with Rockwell, he said he let Berry Gordy hear his demo of somebody's watching me and Berry Gordy's exact words was your not getting no damn wear with this garbage !, and pitched it in the trash LOL. Later on Michael Jackson felt bad for him of course ,and said you know what let's redo the song ,I'd love to be a part of it! LOL and that was of course what made it a hit.

    J.... M....

    Haylo Troutman Wow...thanks for that great music trivia!

  86. C.... ....

    I loved this back in the day more than "Somebodies watching me" - It was more groovy and funny.

    C.... ....

    Cl4rendon I always felt the same way!

    C.... ....

    agreed..this was the better song, but 'somebody's watching' was the better vid

  87. M.... W....

    Before *69, it was fun to make crank calls and get people's angry reactions!

  88. N.... 8....

    You tell them stalkers, Rockwell.

    N.... 8....

    why you guys call him weird and mad scientist???

  89. D.... D....

    Why are all his songs about stalking or perving on someone?

  90. J.... M....

    i didnt like it but when i heard it again on 1.5 i said it should have been released like that.. and yes with michael again..

  91. C.... M....

    I never knew had another video after watching me...its no wonder why he hasn't had a hit since then cause this song is awful.

    C.... M....

    MackenDeez naw u just too stupid to know good music

  92. k.... ....

    This is Hazel Gordy's brother.

  93. T.... ....

    First a song about someone watching him, then a song about strange phone calls. Was this guy schizophrenic? Or paranoid?

    T.... ....

    why you guys call him weird and mad scientist???

  94. s.... s....
