Who said they weren't popular? 4 top 15 albums in the US, 7 top 7 UK albums. Sweet Dreams was #1 in the US, a total of 15 charting hits. And then Annie had her own solo career with 6 charting US albums, 3 in the top 10.
This whole video is a giant "Fuck You" to the music industry of the time. The video takes place in a boardroom and Annie and her partner are dressed as CEOs to represent to small minded music label CEOs who kept ruining their dreams by demanding they stick to what was "popular" and "selling". Annie herself being dressed in short hair and a tailored business suit is a direct attack on the typical image of an 80s female music artist which was big hair and a colorful flowing dress. The cows represent the artists who "conformed". The ones who just meekly let themselves be herded around by their music labels and only made the music they were told to make.
Only their first album flopped, all their others were huge, worldwide, accompanied by hit single after hit single. They're one of the biggest acts of the 80s. After they split, Annie Lennox had a massively successful solo career, that's still ongoing. :)
they nearly got banned from the US market, because people accused her of being transgender because of how she looks in this video and other earlier ones. Almost killed Her career.
Annie Lennox has a very powerful voice. The Eurythmics had a lot of great hits in the 80's-90's such as "Who's That Girl?", "Right By Your Side", "Here Comes The Rain Again", "Would I Lie To You?", "It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)", "Love Is A Stranger", "Missionary Man" etc. Annie has had a great solo career too with many hits.
"Would I Lie to You?" is the Eurythmics just absolutely rocking out; they may have better, more polished songs (ie, "Here Comes the Rain Again") but "Would I Lie" goes to 11.
This is when the 80s began for me. I still remember the first time I saw the video on MTV after school back in '83. I was just blown away by both the sound and the visuals. Annie had so much swagger you just couldn't deny her.
Rolling Stone called the song "a synth-pop masterpiece that made Lennox and Dave Stewart MTV superstars". And this song became a huge success, both for The Eurythmics as well as for MTV, which was struggling at that point.
Annie Lennox has a fantastic singing voice (and stage presence) and Dave Stewart is amazingly creative as a composer and arranger, plus his production skills. My favorite track by them is Would I Lie to You - powerful driving rock with support from Fishbone.
"Lie to You" is my favorite from them, too. Annie's voice here is like a breathy whisper in the ear. Her look here was also copied with fashion trends having 'masculine' cuts. My family finally subscribed to Mtv about the time this was released & they soon put it on hourly repeat.
Also check out their duet with Aretha Franklin "Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves" as well as Annie's amazing solo hits "Why" and "Walking On Broken Glass".
One early 80s Eurythmics hit that has had almost zero youtube reactions is “who’s that girl” which seems crazy, such a great tune. It was the early days of MTV where video budgets were low, directors were trying original ideas and feeling out the creative process. But the tune is great. Just remember that music videos (for the most part) didnt even exist until about 1981/2, MTV kicked off about 1983 (and most people outside america didnt have access to it until late 80s), so around 1982-1985 videos had: Low budgets Directors trying different things Trying to figure out artistic styles and what worked and didnt work. So yes, the cow was strange 😂
@Salvo "Here Comes the Rain Again" and other Eurythmics songs are absolute fire. Annie's songs solo are just as worthy. "Walking on Broken Glass", "Little Bird" and "Why" among them.
I was 13 when this came out. I instantly fell in love with Annie. Androgynous, strong, mysterious. I saw her open for Sting in the mid 90s. They did Under Pressure, and it was amazing!!
Eurythmics were quite popular , a number of hits and great songs,and they both have done work away from each other that were hits as well, and now are in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. It is wonderful they were a couple,broke up early in the career and can still have so much love & respect for each other, a true friendship after all these years.
okay, THIS is the definitive Eurythmics vid. This is really the first time we saw her on video... and collectively... we were all gob-smacked. Her look... range... power... the tone of the video... MTV at its peak. this launched them and none of us have ever looked back.
This iconic song from the legendary duo the Eurythmics was ahead of it's time when it was released and now it's Timeless and that's how magical this song is and I luvit! ❤
This was my band in the 80s Second two Albums are classics. I like a few from In The garden, a few of my favorites from the 2nd album: This City Never City Sleeps, Wrap it up , Jennifer. Absolutely anything on the Touch Album is magical,
SalvoG, I clicked on this link SO fast! Probably one of my top synth-pop tracks - from just that opening drop of synth goodness, to that infectious groove and chorus, to Annie Lennox's fantastic voice (and beauty - I've always thought she was quite attractive!) This song was a banger on the dance floor!! Eurythmics were one of many to own the 80's, and if the New Wave/Synth-pop genre is your thing, then there is LOTS to discover my good friend! Other Eurythmic tracks: Who's That Girl, Here Comes The Rain Again, Beethoven (I Love To Listen To), Miracle Of Love (beautiful ballad!), Thorn In My Side, When Tomorrow Comes, Missionary Man...so many hits! Further synth-pop discoveries: New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle and Blue Monday; Trans-X - Living On Video; A-Ha - Take On Me, The Sun Always Shines On TV, Hunting High & Low, Manhattan Skyline (and many others); Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran, Space Age Love Song. Can't leave out Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin, Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money), West End Girls, One More Chance, Two Divided By Zero, Always On My Mind... And then there's the 'masters' of the New Wave era - Depeche Mode...that's a HUGE rabbit hole!! (and a worthwhile one!)
Not making fun of your comment AT ALL, but saying "Annie Lennox has a really nice voice" is like saying "That Michelangelo could sure paint and sculpt!" Her voice could calm a prison riot, coax stars out of the sky, etc. This is a "definitive" 80's song. A few other "musts" from Eurythmics: "Love is a stranger," "Would I lie to you," "Beethoven (I love to listen to)" Her partner, Dave Stewart, is so brilliant. Another great female-fronted "80's Sound" (your beloved "Synth pop!") is Berlin. Check out "Dancing in Berlin."
The album this is on is insanely good. Especially when you know it was recorded on an 8 track Tascam recorder. These days 64 or more tracks are used. There is a particular beauty in the simplicity of these older synth-pop songs. They always say "less is more" - this drives that home. The empty spots in between the sounds are so much more effective.
In my opinion, they are so good that they deserve their own playlist on your channel. I could easily list 30 brilliant songs here. Have a closer look at 'Love is a Stranger', 'Sex Crime ', 'Miracle of Love', 'Savage')...! 😁
You should try Love is a Stranger from Eurythmics next. The video was censored live on air by MTV who say Annie remove her wig and presumed it was a male transvestite. Sweet Dreams was also performed at the Grammys that year with Annie dressed as a man, jaws dropped ..............
Your going to love listening to the Eurythmics if you truly like synth-pop!! You’ll find ALOT of GREAT synth-pop from the 80’s. It was a fun time to grow up in.
@@bigmike2464 You are correct!! Would I Lie to You?" is a 1985 song by Eurythmics and is the lead single from their fourth studio album Be Yourself Tonight.

She's had a long and brilliant career...and she's still going at 67 years old.
If you like early 80s synth pop, you should check out Yazoo. Imho they're the greatest band of that genre, although shortlived, only releasing 2 albums. It's another duo. Vince Clarke is THE king of synth pop. He was one of the founding members of Depeche Mode and was their main creative force, before leaving to found Yazoo. Yazoo had great success but didn't last. He then went on to form the incredibly popular band 'Erasure'. Alison Moyet, the singer, had a once in a generation voice. Ridiculously good! She went on to have a highly successful solo career too. Her solo work is definitely worth checking out but definitely start with Yazoo first. :)
I have never understood why the Eurythmics debut album "In The Garden" was considered a flop, It's my secod favourite of their albums and the second one I listen to the most,"Belinda" and "Never Gonna Cry Again" were the two singles released from it and both are actually great tracks. I still really rate this album and sadly it is still really underrated. As a debut album it's actually a great one and already showcased how original Annie Lennox and Dave stewart were as an act,it has an edgy rawness to it and has a lot of ambient sounds woven through it. It never really gets reviewed on youtube,it's almost become a forgotten Eurythmics album,but deserves to be appricicated for the great album it actually is. Would be great to see what you think of this album and the two singles from it. (matt)
For more New Wave - try also Human League. They have some big hits, but I particularly love a lesser known early hit called "Love Action" - with its mousy electronic sound effects and smooth funky dance groove.
Wow, I thought everybody heard this a thousands times!! The parody, "Sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am I to Diss a Bri ..." Glad you got to hear it! 😁😁😎
La canción esta llena de simbolismos y metáforas. La vaca es el ganado y el ganado eres tú y todos los demás, somos el rebaño de la élite, y te lo dice en tu cara pero no te das cuenta al comienzo. Grande Eurythmics
This was a really popular song. I think there was one other song on that album that was ...kind of... popular. This one was killer though. This song really worked well on the radio.

Something you might not know - this song was really their first ‘hit’ and I don’t think they were promoted well with this album.

Interesting…..I did not expect this group to be on your radar for a good long time, if ever. Ah…patron request. That explains it. Always thought this was a great pop song, and Annie Lenox very talented, who also had a good solo career. Huge on MTV rotation
Catch the movie from the 90's staring Demi Moore and Armande Asante called Striptease Demi plays a stripper and strips to all Annie Lennox songs, pretty funny
The video was in constant rotation on MTV for at least a year and was played in almost every bar with a TV or video screen. . Although nether Dave or Annie are gay, her androgyny made her a gay icon for decades.. This song is still a staple in gay clubs . Eventually she went solo and he went on be one of the biggest music producers of the 80s
I see that this is a year old but, the cow is because EVERY SINGLE DAMN 80s video had either a white or black stallion in them. So to rebel Annie and Dave put a cow in their video.
Um yeah … it’s never just about the voice, but the writing, instrumentation, production etc. And a little less translucency - it was actually unwatchable. Great classic track. For another global explosion check CHARLES & EDDIE’s “Would I Lie to You?” and “Shine”
Who said they weren't popular? 4 top 15 albums in the US, 7 top 7 UK albums. Sweet Dreams was #1 in the US, a total of 15 charting hits. And then Annie had her own solo career with 6 charting US albums, 3 in the top 10.

Very popular! Got the album for my birthday! They rule

It's a weird music video, because it's a sweet dream.
Annie Lennox also has formal opera training hence the power and control of THAT VOICE.
What, they were Uber popular . This song was played a ka jillion times on mtv and radios
The best jam is 80s synthpop new wave. New subscriber.
This song was IT when it was released.
When Aretha Franklin heard Annie got the first time she thought she was a black woman. Then said she had the best voice she’d ever heard
Catch the movie from the 90's staring Demi
Moore and Armande Asante called Striptease
Demi plays a stripper and strips to all Annie Lennox songs, pretty funny
The video was in constant rotation on MTV for at least a year and was played in almost every bar with a TV or video screen. .

You should check out The Tourists, Annie and Dave's band previous to Eurythmics, less electronic, but really good 👌
Why is there a cow in there? Welcome to music videos in the early 80s ! lol
Our family sings silly lyrics to this. Sweet dreams are made of cheese. Who am I to diss a Brie?
They were huge in the uk
There was a movie with Demi More called Striptease. This song was rather prominent. Good movie.
Annie Lenox is amazing, cool,suave and collected...🤙☝️😌
Hey Salvo, Maybe if you connect the B-Parts (Ooooooh....and Annie's Vocals), you get a 3 part Mini-Journy? Try....
She doesn't have a nice voice. She has THE BEST voice of the industry...
Love your reactions! Please, check out Maralyn Manson -- The Beautiful People. The video of course, its necessary to get the full effect.
To me, the only Eurythmics song is " Here comes the rain again."

Pretender one to listen too☮️ ❤️ 🏴
If you haven't, you MUST check out "Why" My favorite of theirs.
You kidding me? It sounded everywhere!!!!! :)
If you love synth pop, try New Order! Bizarre Love Triangle is a good one.
Remember, MTV practically decided what the hits were of that era. And yes,.. wtf is up with the cow. lol.
If you like this listen to Why and Cold from Annie she became a legend
beef. it's what's for dinner. and also, she can sing!
This was 8th grade and freshman year of high school for me.
Official videos don’t get blocked.
I see that this is a year old but, the cow is because EVERY SINGLE DAMN 80s video had either a white or black stallion in them. So to rebel Annie and Dave put a cow in their video.
Love Anne Lennox!
Cows in a music video? Welcome to the 80's brother 🤘😎
This song was notoriously covered by Marilyn Manson - a completely different take on the song!
Um yeah … it’s never just about the voice, but the writing, instrumentation, production etc.
And a little less translucency - it was actually unwatchable.
Great classic track.
For another global explosion check CHARLES & EDDIE’s “Would I Lie to You?” and “Shine”
Check out of the premiere Synth songs of the early 80's, *DONT GO* by *_YAZOO_*
and their song *SITUATION* - you will *LOVE* it I promise
Annie❤
Marilyn Manson does a cover of this song. You might wanna check it out. It's kinda dark tho, if you're not familiar with him.
I've never been a big fan of Annie Lennox but I loved this song. I wasn't old enough to party in that decade but I'd assume it was a club track 😄
