[Political Junkie Too]

I once heard the oddest pairing on Sirius XM 70s on 7 channel: "Leave Me Alone" by Helen Reddy, followed by "You Can't Change That" by Raydio (Ray Parker, Jr.). If you listen to the lyrics of the latter, it's clearly a song about a stalker.

Leave Me Alone, by Helen Reddy

---

Chorus:

Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone, now, leave me alone
Leave me alone, please leave me alone, yes leave me
Leave me alone, won't you leave me alone
Please leave me alone, now leave me alone
Leave me alone, just leave me alone, oh leave me...

You Can't Change That, by Raydio

---

You're the only one I love
And you can't change that
You're the only one I need
And you can't change that

Now you can try if you want to

You can change your telephone number
And you can change your address too
But you can't stop me from loving you
No, you can't change that, no, no

You can change the color of your hair
And you can change the clothes you wear
But you'll never change the way I care
No, you can't change that

If they are really outraged, they should boycott the Raydio song, because it's about a guy who says he'll track down a girl after she moves away, changes her phone number, and changes her hair and clothing style to get away from him.

"Every Breath You Take" is another song about stalking.

Every Breath You Take

The Police

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I’ll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I’ll be watching you

Oh, can’t 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, I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, “Baby, baby, please”

Oh, can’t you see you belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make and every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake, I’ll be watching you
Every move you make, every step you take, I’ll be watching you
