"Watching You" (2006) is the third song released by Australian band Rogue Traders from their second album Here Come the Drums. The song was released as their second single in the United Kingdom in late 2006.
This high-energy electropop dance track is based around the distinctive guitar riff from the 1979 hit song "My Sharona" by The Knack.
