"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a popular song by the British music duo Eurythmics. It was released in 1983 as the title track from their album "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)." The song was written and performed by Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart.
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" became a major hit for Eurythmics, reaching the top of the charts in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. It is known for its catchy synth-driven melody and distinctive vocal performance by Annie Lennox.
The lyrics of the song explore themes of desire, ambition, and the pursuit of dreams. The chorus, which repeats the line "Sweet dreams are made of this," is open to interpretation, but it is often seen as a reflection on the complexities and contradictions of life. The song's memorable music video, featuring Lennox with short orange hair and a business suit, also contributed to its popularity.
"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" remains one of Eurythmics' most iconic and enduring songs. It has been covered by various artists and has been featured in numerous films, TV shows, and commercials over the years, solidifying its status as a timeless classic.

Decades later, that opening synth is still sick. The melody and groove reel you in, and Annie's vocals are something for which all singers should strive.

The Eurythmics had several hit songs like "Missionary Man", "Love is a Stranger", "Who's that Girl", and "Would I Lie to You" which is a great retro song - sounds like an R&B 1960s style song. In the early 1990s Annie Lennox went solo, with successful albums like Medusa and Diva.

Eurythmics (pronounced as “Your-RITH-mics”) was a Scottish-British Rock duo, which had its greatest success between 1981 and 1990. Annie Lennox (lead singer, synthesizer player, piano player, and flutist (mostly on the early albums and tours)) is Scottish. Dave Stewart (not to be confused with the famous Oakland Athletics pitcher; lead guitarist and drum computer programmer) is British. Lennox and Stewart were both members of the British Pop Rock/Folk Rock group, The Tourists. When the group broke up in 1980, they decided to continue working together as Eurythmics. The duo recorded 8 albums in an 8-year period between 1981 and 1989, which was and still is unprecedented for contemporary Rock music artists. They had a good number of “Top 40” hits during the 1980s, such as “Love Is A Stranger”, “Here Comes The Rain Again”, “Who’s That Girl?” (not to be confused with the song by Madonna), “Would I Lie To You?”, “Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves (with Aretha Franklin)”, “Missionary Man”, “Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)”, “I Need A Man”, “You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart”, “Don’t Ask Me Why”, and “Angel”. In 1999, Eurythmics reunited to record their charity album, “Peace”, and went out on tour to support it. In 2022, Eurythmics were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Eurythmics recorded a song, and made a music video, for the song, “Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)”, which was from their album, “1984 (For The Love Of Big Brother)”, released in late-1984 to promote the remake of the film of the same name. The song became a “Top 5” hit on the Billboard Dance Music Chart. It has a strong electric bass beat (Dave Stewart played bass when he was in the British Pop Rock/Folk Rock band, The Tourists), and the drum work is hard-hitting as well. All of you might want to react to this song/music video by Eurythmics.

Written by The Eurythmics. Recorded in London, UK 🇬🇧. 40 years 🎂 I remember hearing 👂 this in many dance 💃 clubs then. Great 👍 song 🎵 Eurythmics have a lot of hits. Annie Lennox also has solo hit songs. Dave A Stewart on synthesizers. He added A, his middle initial, so he is not confused with Dave Stewart of the Oakland Athletics, other MLB teams. Dave A Stewart also wrote and produced with other musicians such as the late Tom Petty, RIP. Coincidentally, Corey Hart released a song which is similar in the same year. Also recorded in London, UK 🇬🇧 but in a different part. No Internet back then. No copyright violation. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Eurythmics perform Who's That Girl 2 Tom Petty and Dave A Stewart perform Don't Come Around Here No More 3 Corey Hart songs Sunglasses at Night.

Technically this band formed in the rural Australian town Wagga Wagga. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were in another band called The Tourists. They had a minor hit with a cover version of “I only want to be with you.” Sitting in a hotel, on tour the two decided they had enough of that band and to go in a different direction so then and there they formed the Eurythmics.

The Eurythmics together and Annie Lennox (solo) had way more hits. Possibly when she sings "this" it sounds like "these" because she is Scottish and so has an accent. Speaking of Scots - there are loads of great Scottish singers and bands out there, especially from the 80s era.

Annie Lennox was the opening act. Then, the rain poured, as Sting performed his concert. The rain stopped once the concert was over, making for a safe drive back home to Ohio (they did not perform in Cleveland, Ohio that year).
