Jeff Goldblum's watching you- a song parody

There's an internet meme involving Jeff Goldblum (of The Fly and Jurassic Park fame) where there's a big poster of him or something like that with the words...Jeff Goldblum is watching you (insert verb here).

Well this song parody is all about that meme.

Jeff's watching

I tell ya,

Jeff's watching

Jeff's watching you

Are you just an average person?

With an average life

Do you work from nine to five?

Hey, hell, do you pay the price?

Is all you want is to be left alone

In your average home

But do you always feel

Like you're in the twilight zone
Do you always feel like

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

And do you want your privacy?

Whooooa-oh-oh(Do you always feel like)

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

Do you think it's a weird thing?

When you come home at night

Do you bolt the door real tight?

Do people call you on the phone?

You're trying to avoid.

Can people on TV see you?

Or are you just paranoid?
When you're in the shower

Are you afraid to wash your hair?

'Cause you might open your eyes

And find someone standing there

Do people say you're crazy?

Just a little touched

Or is it that showers remind youOf Psycho too much

Is that it?

Do you always feel like

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

And do you want your privacy?

Whooooa-oh-oh

(Do you always feel like)

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

Is Jeff playing tricks on you?

[Instrumental Interlude]

(Jeff's watching you)

Are you not sure anymore?

Do you know why Jeff's watching you?

(Jeff's watching)

Well, why is Jeff Goldblum watching?

(Jeff's watching)

Do you feel you're not safe anymore?

Oh, this doesn't look good at all.

I wonder what Jeff's up to now

(Jeff)

Is he the fly on the wall?

Do you always feel like

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

And do you want your privacy?

Whooooa-oh-oh

(Do you always feel like)

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

Is Jeff playing tricks on you?

Do you always feel like

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

And do you want your privacy?

Whooooa-oh-oh

(Do you always feel like)

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

Do you think it's a weird thing?
Do you always feel like

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

And do you want your privacy?

Whooooa-oh-oh

(Do you always feel like)

(Jeff Goldblum's watching you)

Is Jeff playing tricks on you?

Well last time we checked, Jeff Goldblum wasn't watching us. Anyway we like Jeff Goldblum, he's one of my brothers favourite actors. People say i'm a lot like his character from The Fly. Jeff provided the voice of Falco in the Millitary Koalas movie. In case you were wondering which one Falco is - he's the one with the power to shapeshift.

People say i'm a lot like Seth Brundle from the 1986 remake of The Fly. And this photomanip of me here really does prove it.

Most of it is true, I am kind of like Seth Brundle except I haven't been turned into a giant human/fly hybrid creature- my brother was turned into a Brundlefly clone once though. Me and my brother invented a telepod just like the one that was in the film. My brother tested it out because he wanted to recreate the experiment from the film- the good news is that the telepod works- the bad news is that he got turned into a Brundlefly clone and stayed like that for over a week. I managed to get him back to normal eventually.

Speaking of Brundlefly, Mohinder Suresh from Heroes seems to have quite a lot of similarities to him.

Dark is not evil

There has been some talk about me on Amiright and on the inthe00's message board, it seems that everyone there thinks I came across as a bad guy. In truth, I am not a bad person at all. I'm a kind, decent person. I'm not evil. Even though one of the playlists on my computer has dark kind of horror type music on it (e.g Nightmare On Elm Street theme, Psycho theme, and Toxic Love by Tim Curry) songs by Alice Cooper on it such as Black Widow, Poison and Welcome To My Nightmare, I'm still a good guy. And even though my idea of a good movie happens to involve lots of blood, killing and gore I'm actually quite a sweet guy. Me and my brother are twins and no...I am not the evil one. We do love horror movies. Probably we're the only ones in the whole family who can handle David Cronenberg's movies. I mean we saw the Fly when it first came out in cinemas in 1986, while everyone else watching the film were scared out of their wits of what was happening to the tragic hero of the story me and my brother were in awe of what was going on, and were amazed by Jeff Goldblum's performance and the special effects and makeup. When we came out of the theatre, our father asked us what we thought of the movie...our response: "awesome!". Although i'm into all things dark and creepy i'm actually a very nice person. I'm a lot like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly except I haven't been turned into a fly-like monstrosity (although my brother was turned into a BrundleFly clone at one point). And if you're wondering what my idea of a good time is, it's visiting the local cemetary and paying respects to the dead (especially to our dear old grandfather Billy). Check the pet cementary because that's where some of our old pets are burried. The moral of this post: Dark is not evil.

David Cronenberg: Evil genius.

Our favourite film genres are sci fi, animation, comedy, fantasy and horror. One of the masters of the horror genre is a Canadian director named David Cronenberg. His films are famous for one thing: the recurring theme of body mutations (known to TVtropers as Body Horror). His movies are so delightfully squicky and yet interesting. Not many people can stomach David Cronenberg's movies except me and my brother. We love David Cronenberg's movies. Our favourite films of his are The Fly, Dead Zone, Videodrome, Scanners, Crash, and Existenz. The Fly is our number 1 favourite David Cronenberg movie. We loved Jeff Goldblum's character. Some people tell me i'm a lot like him, and it's true I am quite similar to Seth Brundle (for starts we've both been mutated into something completely different than normal, and we're both scientists) The most interestingg aspect about the movie is that some people view Seth Brundle's transformation into the human/fly hybrid creature Brundlefly as a metaphor for AIDS. My brother has a telepod like the one used in the movie, he lets me use it and he often uses it himself, on one occassion he actually reinacted the experiment from the film and ended up turning into some Brundlefly clone, it took a long time to figure how to change him back to normal but we managed to do it in the end. And the second time he gave it a test drive, he left one of our Buzz Lightyear action figures in the machine with him at the time, he ended up turning into a life sized version of the Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story films. It wasn't easy finding a way to change him back but I eventually found away- most of him is pretty much back to normal now- well...except for the wings sticking out of his back (luckily they are retractable). And the explanination as to why I turned evil during my stay on Amirgiht in early 2008....somehow our neighbour's mean spirited cat Damien got into the telepod while I was in it, it was silly of me not to notice that- although it's not at all suprising considering that cat is a feline from hell, always demolishing anything he can get his paws on, always slaughtering innocent birds and bringing their dead bodies into the house, doesn't trust anyone not even his owner, he's an absolute monster. He scratched my brother's leg at least 5 times, and not to mention he almost attacked me once. That cat is our public enemy 1#. He's also a master of deceit and trickery, he pretends to be all innocent and cute but when you least expect it...he strikes like a demon in the night. He is a black cat with bright yellow eyes and a collar with a skull on it. If you see that cat, run like hell.












The telepod can be seen in the David Cronenberg wing of our interactive museum. Be warned though, the David Cronenberg wing is only for the truly daring. If you're really brave, then perhaps the Squickatorium attraction will be just up your alley, the squickatorium is a ride where you get to experience first hand the squickness of David Cronenberg's films such as The Fly, Videodrome, Scanners, Dead Zone, Existenz and Crash- ride it, if you dare.

Jeff Goldblum as Dracula

Me and my brother were big horror fans growing up, we loved watching movies like American Werewolf In London, Nightmare On Elm Street and Poultergiest. We used to watchTales From The Crypt on a regular basis (I got seasons 1, 5 and 7 on dvd for my birthday last year). But there's one thing that was too frightening for even our taste and that was the Goosebumps books by R.L Stine, they were supposed to be creepy I know but there was something a little too creepy about them, we used to be too scared to watch the tv series too. The episodes that scared us the most were Night Of The Living Dummy III, Werewolf Of Fever Swamp, One Day In Horrorland, An Old Story, The Haunted Mask, Calling A Creeps and The Girl Who Cried Monster. The one thing that bugged the hell out of us was why R.L Stine has that weird spot on his forehead, we never understood that. Yet again R.L Stine's overly calm demeanor was quite creepy in general especially when he was doing the host segments for The Haunted Mask/Haunted Mask 2, Night Of The Living Dummy III, A Night In Terror Tower and Werewolf Of Fever Swamp. Our old friend Kirsty used to have more than a few Goosebumps videos. And at one time had the cd rom Escape From Horrorland, not to mention she had all the books. One time when we were watching her play the game, we noticed that the bad guy you had to fight in vampire village looked familar. So early last week we went on the web to find out who he voiced this vampire and...believe it or not, we found out that the vampire was voiced by Jeff Goldlum of The Fly and Jurassic Park fame. I'm not kiding, he was the vampire in that Goosebumps game.

Here's a behind the scenes shot of Jeff:

The Fly

One of our favourite directors is David Cronenberg. We especially love Videodrome, Scanners, Existenz, Dead Zone, Crash, and The Fly. The Fly is our absolute favourite of those films. If you were born in 1950 you might recall the original version with the infamous scene where the scientist ends up with his head on a fly's body and is about to eaten by a spider and cries out "Help me!" in a tiny voice. But if you're an 80's fanatic like me then you might be more familiar with David Cronenberg's remake. It's like the original one except it's different, Jeff Goldblum doesn't end up with his head on a fly's body oh no- it's much worse he ends up turning into a really grotesque hybrid of human and fly. One crucial element that David Cronenberg never forgets to add in his movies is horrific transformations involving the body changing in really horrible ways (this type of transformation is known as either a Painful Transformation or Transformation Trauma, and is full of Body Horror).

It may have given quite a lot of viewers nightmares and Squicked them out, but it kind of inspired us. My brother owns a teleportation pod like the one Jeff has in the movie, and he actually lets me use it. Although my brother himself got the insane idea to recreate Jeff's experiment from the film and ended up turning into a clone of BrundleFly. It took four and a half weeks to figure out how to change him back into himself. The Fly has been satirised numerous times. On one episode of Beetleborgs, Flabber brings a sketch of a teleportation device to life with his magic and gives it a test run, a fly-like monster named Kombat Gnat (who has a lot of razor sharp teeth and the ability to shrink) gets into the machine, their dna gets merged together and Flabber ends up turning into it like Jeff Goldblum in the movie. However he gets turned back to normal in the end.

Some of our work feature a homage to The Fly. One of which is the episode of The Misadventures Of Doc M where I test out my brother's teleportation device and Chumsley the werejohncandy accidentally falls into the machine, our dna gets merged together and I end up slowly changing into Chumsley. It also happened to my brother one time, my brother was testing it out for the first time, just as soon as the machine starts the sequence he realises that his Buzz Lightyear action figure is in the machine with him and he ended up turning into a life sized Buzz Lightyear. It took a long time to figure out a way to change him back to normal in the end but luckily I found a way to do it. We turned most of him back to normal, except when he came out he still had the "wings" sticking out of his back (and he still does).

These are pictures of Flabber's transformation into Kombat Knat in the Beetleborgs episode Buggin Out.
