If there’s one thing Pop Up Video taught me, it’s that nepotism was different back in the 80s. Today, it can only make you editor of your batshit crazy father’s old magazine, but back then, it could get Michael Jackson to sing back up on your single:

Rockwell, you see, is the son of Motown honcho Barry Gordy. And his sister, Hazel, is married to Michael’s brother Jermaine, thus the friendly collaboration. No hating though. We don’t do that here if the song is decent, and Somebody’s Watching Me is, in that exemplary of it’s decade kind of way.
