Songs about Being Stalkers!

As a feminist, I try to read lots of books by women, listen to music by women, seek out examples of women in science, math and technology, and try to make the world a better place, especially for women. I also take care to point out examples of inequality and prejudice, call people on anti-woman speech or actions and do what I can to spread the ideas that feminism is awesome, and seeks to make the world better for everyone, not just women. Intersectionality and all that great stuff.

I also have a playlist on my computer called "Stalkertastic." It's a very short list of songs that I own, which are basically, about stalking. Here's that list:

  • A Winter's Tale, by The Tunics (listen here)

  • 1000 Nights, by Nickel



  • Every Breath You Take, by The Police


  • Fly on the Wall, by tATu



The last one is the most recent song I've found, off tATu's newest album. It's interesting to hear such a creepy song from a woman's point of view, even though stereotypically, it's women who are obsessed with men, and doodle hearts and "Mrs. Somesuch" on notebooks and the like.

One thing I hate about all these songs? They're all super-catchy and awesome. Creepy should not sound that good.

What do you think? Any songs I've missed?
