July 10, 2009 Flashback Video: Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams
While Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams” video was good, it brought me back to Eurythmic’s iconic “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” video. This video helped catapult the British duo into the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1983 and it was their only U.S. hit. Annie Lennox’s unique and androgynous look really made her stand out among the rest of the glamorous eighties ladies.
Over the years, “Sweet Dreams” has been sampled and covered numerous times by artists ranging from Marylin Manson to Britney Spears. Even Beyoncé paid homage to Eurythmics by adding the song to the live performance of her own “Sweet Dreams” during her I Am… tour.
Take a look at Eurythmic’s iconic video after the jump!

What a great song!
The video is strange but Annie Lennox pulls it off. I had never seen it in its entirety.
