Someone was bound to do this song or one like it to commemorate Orwell's year, and it would be difficult to top the job turned in by L.A.'s punchy rock octet. Group leader and songwriter Danny Elfman opens in rap fashion, frantically screaming out "Won't you listen to me" while the rest of the band shouts out the "wake up" call. The rest of the tune questions whether the world is at the beginning or the end and notes that while Big Brother is indeed watching, "We watch him back" and "have been here before" anyway. But where the words may leave the future up in the air, the music, though alarming, is firmly on the ground. Watchful though he may be, it is certain that when hearing this song, Big Brother is also dancing.
