Every night...like clockwork

something so hopeful and dreamy about 80’s songs like this

My parents were seldom at home when I was a kid, so I babysat my siblings, and my babysitter was the TV. My parents bought home these bags and boxes of VHS tapes, old tapes they got from friends and let me put in just whatever while they were away. I saw The Omen, Satyricon, Olivier's Richard III, The Mission, The Great Race, you name it. One of the tapes had Body Double, and man, watching the peeping Tom scene just blew my 9 year old mind away. This track makes it all come back, sensual and alluring.

The name of this song, "Telescope" is just simply perfect. When he's lead over to that telescope by his buddy...Here have a look...And he bends over and looks through that eyepiece for the first time. And this music starts...it's almost like a trance.

Pino Donaggio Italian Pride.... This song is magic

Spellbinding music. I saw this in the theater and never got over this music. Thank God for the 80's

Underated movie.

Impossible to resist the seduction of such a wonderful music...

Beautiful haunting music of an excellent movie of one of the greatest directors of our time. I am so glad I was young in the 80's.... and could "nurture" my brain with such great movies of Brian de Palma, John Carpenter, Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann ....

Timeless.... this fantastic soundtrack of Pino Donaggio. You can feel it deep within

I remember this movie like this morning. 1984. Wow!

This movie (and this song) is pure magic. It takes “Vertigo” and “Rear Window” to a whole other level. So 80s, so magical, so good. Pure genius. Good on ya, Brian De Palma. I like to watch ;-)

I admire the hell out of Brian De Palma. finally got around to watching this excellent film this morning. this song stood out to me. so beautiful but haunting

I saw Body Double when it was released in the theater. 16 years old and totally mesmerized. This score still holds a special power to this day.

80's music was so beautiful

Non lo sapevo che il Sound Track fosse di Donaggio, GRANDE E BRAVISSIMO!!!!

Brings back memories...from a great Decade...😀👍

This is the 80s in less than 4 minutes.

Sends chills down my spine................love it and the movie

Simply fantastic. The sync is out of this world.

This movie is amazing. I just heard this song in the new movie, Air (2023) and could have sworn it was from Body Double. Sure enough, here it is!

I'd see this movie over and over just this track, and scene.......Midnight Showing, 8th Street Playhouse NYC.... 1984.......

One of the best soundtracks

The shower scene in Dressed To Kill and the telescope scene in Body Double are the essential scores themes of the 80s. Awesome job, Pinto!!

This song show what feel a men when is close to fall in love for a women... Brian de palma a real master!!!

I need a whole playlist of tunes like this...

Haunting and beautiful. Great movie too.

Haunting ,mesmerizing, hypnotic. Song from a 1984 film that left long lasting impressions ♥

So.... exceedingly... 80s I love it.

So grateful to see the 80’s.

This music dates from 1984, but it is still as fresh and sparkling as the first time when I heared it!

I saw the movie again today, i didn't remember this music. I think it captures perfectly this flavour that was the eighties glamour, something raw and hard but with the delicate touch of a synth echoing voice.

what a beauty ❤

Brings me back when watching this flick on pirated cable as a kid. Good memories!

Dorothy Stratten, Olivia Newton John, and 80s music all mixed together in a beautiful composure! Timeless! Forever!

that melody.......every time i'm loosing my breath!every time i am high in the sky and i m holding the planet in my hands!every time i think something great is coming!pino donaggio thank you!

Don't know why this is so compelling . . . but it really is. I can't thing of anything else like it.

The background music makes this film by the great Brian de Palma. Perfect ... Since I saw it after 84. I have it in my mind ... all ... its music is exceptional, when listening to it ... I feel a Joy and an immense pleasure in my being. If you listen to it with your eyes closed, ..... you will experience the same thing as I ... thanks to your composer Pino Donaggio!!

When that female vocal hits, I go from the 80s to the 60s. So haunting, so psychedelic. Music from movies like the "Midnight Cowboy" and "Breathless" are some of the greatest.

This track always reminds me of the Tangerine Dream track from Risky Business. Both great BTW.

First watched this movie in 1994 been a personal favourite ever since :)

This song really does sum up the emotions of voyeurism quite well, the music is soft and pleasant like tender skin, drawing you in. The repetition creates a hypnotic state, a mood of intrigue, mischief, sensuality, and most of all the raw excitement and dizzying thrill of such an experience. Beautiful.

Definitely. Brian DePalma is one of the few directors in the business who manages to convey his own personal tastes through the exemplification of his style alone. Like the late, great Tony Scott, he radiates a real exuberance, whereupon you can nearly always detect his handwork through his utilisation of camerawork and a nearly always universally approachable soundtrack.

Che filmone! Che musica! W l'Italia.

I saw this in mid 80s...and this song then!!..hit me...wasnt till late 1990s i found on yt...only soundtrack besides Body Heat that such a memorable soundtrack.. I listening try to remember the scenes in which this song played..its a masterpiece..Bravo..

I just saw the new Damon/Affleck movie Air and this song plays at one point and I was like, ah Telescope!

one of the greatest films ever

one of the most beautiful music ever composed for a movie !!

I've been looking for this masterpeace many years. I didn't know it was Donaggio' s work. Amazing!

there is something elusive about this piece of music. It is hallucinatory, disorienting. and utterly seductive....

This is just amazing! I remember the first time I heard this! It fits the scene perfectly! Awesome song and movie!

Aaaah, deborah, one hell of a beauty.

Use to watch this late night on HBO or Showtime I was thirteen it was the eighties. We had great music,movies and television and they all mixed it together back then. Great times

Puts me into this great mood . Love this track

Good memories, watching this film in Buenos Ayres, 1985 , in good company.

De Palma is the contemporary king of this genre of film making. Love his movies. And he came in the nick of time too, Hitchcock died at the end of the 70's and Brian De Palma filled the niche nicely. Pino Donaggio is well suited with his films too, I think Donaggio he did the score to five of his films, which isn't a bad run at all.

Saw this movie for the first time & I love this song

Mysterious, magical and absolutely gorgeous. Body Double is a very fun film.

Does anyone know if Pino Donaggio has ever been nominated for an Oscar? To me this, Dressed to Kill and Carrie are his best musical scores. They can be erotic, mysterious, terrifying, alluring, seductive, hypnotic and just brilliant! This particular one encompases all those qualities.

Started Body Double, paused it when I heard the first song. Came here.

Anyone notice this song in the new film air ?

I love this piece. It sets my mind and body free

He thought he was watching her, but she was watching him. He thought he was trespassing, but he was invited. He knew he had gone too far, but he couldnt stop. He saw exactly what she wanted him to see...... ❤

I first watched this in 2008 when I was 14 on my laptop...good times :(

One of my favorite movies ever. This music for the telescope scene is mesmerizing.

This song could pass today as modern and new

There's something about this that is just mesmerizing. The movie too, of course.

Ahhh.. I'm so glad I found this ❤️✨

Such an underrated movie

I love the music and the certain scene with this song

It's like I listen to this every night... Like clockwork.

I remember watching this movie in the mid 80’s it blew my mind then and I enjoy it till this day , de Palma doing his best interpretation of a Hitchcock film with an 80’s flair definitely a classic 👍🏻

Its one of those tunes that comes into your head when you are not thinking too hard.

One of my favorite 80's movie soundtracks

Pino Donaggio is wonderful

E così pure: "DRESSED TO KILL" ... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Patrick Bateman has rented this movie on video tape around 37 times, and counting. He just can’t get enough of that drill scene

Wow.....fantastic...80s magic

''Every night just like clockwork''.

I love this. I forgot about it, Homecoming helped me remember! They're using many various themes in their episodes.

Brian De Palma is my favourite director, he and Pino Donaggio carried on what Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann created.

It was pretty cool hearing this piece of music in the opening credits in episode 5 of Julia Roberts new series 'Homecoming.' It fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of the series. In an earlier episode, they even had the music from the shower scene from 'Dressed to Kill.' It's those pieces of music you can never forget. We know which movie they're from, what scene they were used in and we love it. They also had the prom music from 'Carrie' in one of the episodes as well. Thanks Pino for creating some memorizing music! Both are haunting, beautiful and unforgettable.

This makes me miss the 80s… this everything- the zeitgeist

8-9 years old at the time still haunting

It`s like The Bolero of the 20th century.

I like to watch

This song makes me think of moments that were lost in time

A friend of mine on Facebook recognized this music from the new "Fantasy Island" trailer. Good ear, and good memory!

That's what happens when a good movie reaches it's perfect soundtrack ! Nice job :-)

Who recognized the song while watching "Air"?

This film should have been on the sight and sound top 250

Its 2019 and saw this movie for the first time today. Although the plot was ridiculous i was very captivated and instantly fell in love with it. So Weird Watching dennis franz in anything other than die hard that you sort of expect him to say “Mcclane” at some point😂 But anyhow this musical piece is amazing!!! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super sensual song, perfect for Body Double

Awesome movie awesome soundtrack. Thumbs up

2023 and the movie Air uses this song also.

This takes me back to the 1980s. While my teen years was in the 1990s, the 1980s was tween (pre-teen) years.

one of the best soundtracks

now i know what music to play whenever i'm staring at someone through my window with a telescope

Un clásico de película...! De los años 80',la mejor de todas...! Junto con Blade Runner...!

I was 15...fell hypnotically in love with Deborah Shelton thanks in large part to this piece of music. It actually annoyed me when Melanie Griffith showed up.
