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.
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.
I think it rated accurately. It's good but basically DePalma's self-parody and nowhere near as great as Sisters, Carrie, Dressed To Kill, etc. It's a solid film though.
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
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 ....
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 personally wouldn't go so far as the film was great although I did enjoy it. It didn't deserve the critical dismissal received upon its initial release although over the years it has gained some recognition.I do agree though that this song is wonderful. It really did what it set out to do in that it aided having me become more emotionally sucked in to the movie. It perfectly captures Jake's (the main protagonist played by Craig Wasson) fascination and desire he has for his neighbour as he eventually begins to become obsessed with her.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
Could you please tell us at what point specifically? Just finished watching Body Double and I'm obsessed with this trivia because Air was great! Could totally see this music playing it but cannot remember when.
@@AdityaDixitYT I love Body Double so much! They play "Telescope" in the movie during the meeting with Jordan and his family where they first reveal to him the shoe, about 1hr14m into the movie. Such a great track!
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..
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
I think it is supposed to satirize that scene from Risky Business. Tom Cruise is as "in Love" w prostitute Rebecca Demornay as Craig Wasson was peeping on Melanie Griffith.
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.
S Torres Thanks, S Torres, for the info. I did not know that he did the soundtrack to Passion. I, have yet to see that film, but look forward to seeing it soon.
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 👍🏻
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.
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...... ❤
Benyikoko Brian De Palma, the director of Carrie and Dressed To Kill and the modern master of suspense is inviting you to witness a seduction, a mystery and a murder.
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.
Italian composers, which De Palma hired frequently, always get shafted out of Oscar nominations. Ennio Morricone didn’t get an Oscar till the end of his career and everyone considers him the greatest to do it
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also great music from Pino Donaggio. He deserved an oscarnomination for Dressed to Kill. He also did the soundtrack for Carrie, Raising Cain, and ofcourse Blow Out.....great music from a very good film.
Gotta love this kind of music. Another great contemporary Italian composer is Ennio Morricone who scored The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) and Cinema Paradiso.
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.
Every night...like clockwork
😈
lol
Classic.
It's... like clockwork
Every night!!!
This sound suspicious...from the beginning :-)
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.
Just like clockwork!
I remember this movie like this morning. 1984. Wow!
Impossible to resist the seduction of such a wonderful music...
Pino Donaggio Italian Pride.... This song is magic
Venice! God bless Donaggio 🤩

80's music was so beautiful
Underated movie.
damn straight, Craig Wasson was great, watch a movie called Ghost Story, 1980.
Yes, very unique plot and characters. Everything anyone would want in a murder mystery... plus... OMG... Meg Ryan's routine!!

Brian De Palma had the good sense to realize how important the score was to his works. Pino Donaggio added so much to this film.
Yes
WOPs
Just watched Body Double this past weekend and love De Palma for this… Carlito’s Way was always my favorite, but this is a close second now
I thought it was a convoluted mess with an uneven tone.
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 ....
Me too👍😉
William friedkin 💪
Same here :-)
Dear God you guys were spoiled. Thank the Lord for P2P I was able to get all those films on a hard drive.
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 i don't think Friedkin made any good movie, after Sorcerer. Which arguably is his best film.
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.
This incoherent shit was in theaters?? Lmao
AWESOME TIMES!!!....I saw it at The RKO Theater on Fordham Road in The Bronx....GOOD MEMORIES!!!....GREAT MOVIE!!!
Wipe away some of the 80's themes and this movie is still disturbing and erotic. A secret obsession you do not tell anyone about.
@@1986SSMONTECARLO I wanted to go see it but my mother wouldn't let me. The RKO was full of pot smoke. But I saw it on WHT Box in the 80's.
@@garyunderwood8625 agreed , is mysterous ,graphic, romantic, disturbing and erotic, Masterpiece movie and soundtrack
I'd see this movie over and over just this track, and scene.......Midnight Showing, 8th Street Playhouse NYC.... 1984.......
oh, yeah!!!
what a beauty ❤
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 came here to say the same thing. I got chills as soon as I heard it. Great choice for the scene.
Sends chills down my spine................love it and the movie

Simply fantastic. The sync is out of this world.
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.
Haunting ,mesmerizing, hypnotic. Song from a 1984 film that left long lasting impressions ♥
seductive, bold, sensual, and it has that spacey, ambient 80s synth riff as well. It's a beautiful composition.
You're not Wrong!!!
This music dates from 1984, but it is still as fresh and sparkling as the first time when I heared it!
This is the 80s in less than 4 minutes.
Exactly.
Yep! Definitely
Sure was wish I could go back
I concur.
No it isn't because there are no shitty elements.
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!!
Pino rules.
Hey, just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Dressed To Kill. I watched it because of your comment.
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.
Don't know why this is so compelling . . . but it really is. I can't thing of anything else like it.

First watched this movie in 1994 been a personal favourite ever since :)
The same year for me too!
BODY DOUBLE is one of my favourites too and is in my personal top 3 by De Palma with DRESSED TO KILL and BLOW OUT!
Dorothy Stratten, Olivia Newton John, and 80s music all mixed together in a beautiful composure! Timeless! Forever!
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 ...

there is something elusive about this piece of music. It is hallucinatory, disorienting. and utterly seductive....
There is tension in the sllightly 'off' rhythms, which is brilliant.
I just saw the new Damon/Affleck movie Air and this song plays at one point and I was like, ah Telescope!
Could you please tell us at what point specifically? Just finished watching Body Double and I'm obsessed with this trivia because Air was great! Could totally see this music playing it but cannot remember when.

De Palma was the Hitchcock of the 80s. Movies like Body Double and Dressed to Kill wouldn't have worked in any other decade.

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