Is "Sweet Dreams" classic or dud? I know it is a Classic

Well, I guess that's that, then.

Yeah. Yeah, that pretty much says it.

Oooh, what's the best Eurythmics song??? (7 posts by Friday)

It's of course a classic, but I'm a bit more into "Love is a Stranger".

classic up until the five hundred millionth time I'd heard it, then, dud.

Actually, I much prefer....

"Love You Like a Ball and Chain"

All Eurythmics songs

OK, inability to type "less than" sign in answer made me sound very terse and also gave the wrong impression of my views on this crucial issue.

Correct answer: All Eurythmics songs are (less than less than less than) Tourists, "So good to be back home again," and A. Lennox, "Walking on broken glass."

"Belinda" is Eurythmics doing The Pretenders and is very good! I like it more then Sweet Dreams, anyway.

Love it. Classic

― Hot Pants, Monday, 27 December 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic indeed. More classic: the Grammys performance of said song where Annie dressed up as Elvis. (Also the same Grammys I believe where Culture Club won, and Boy George told the audience "Americans know a good drag queen when they see one.".. all in the midst of Reagan America. What a set of moments.

It's not quite classic (4 out of 5 stars?), but it's as close to classic as Eurhythmics ever got.

There is secretly some ass shaking bass in this song.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 27 December 2004 21:37 (twenty-one years ago)

It was ass shaking enough for Corey Hart to cop that same synth bass progression that starts off "Sunglasses At Night".

Back to Eurythmics, I have fond memories of the "Missionary Man" video which is all freaky and warped. "Sexcrime 1984" is great, and so is "Beethoven".

Annie Lennix solo though: BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUURG!

― donut christ (donut), Monday, 27 December 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

wehats the song where she goes "dum dum dum the missionary man"? i like that one. and the one where she goes "no more i love yous". whats that one called.

re: ass shaking bass - anybody heard that baltimore club song that rips the bassline off this? It's great...

Maybe he had an Ob-Xa like Eurythmics did. Too bad he didn't have a Linn Drumcomputer.
