It's a song about betrayal. When Annie was 14 a girl offered to be her "best friend" but that only lasted til her real best friend split with her bf and became available again. The message is universal and reminds to value proper friendship and reject those who cower behind falsehood.
Still loving this song almost 35 years after it was released. Annie Lennox vocals on this are brilliant. One of the greatest British female vocalists for me.
You've also had the Proclaimers and the Bay City Rolelrs. Wasn't a fan of the Rollers myself, but they were hugely popular when I was in school. You couldn't have anything in tartan without everyone thinking it had something to do with them
@@IanM-id8or the rollers played in my hometown (Bo'ness) many years ago, small town that had a popular venue where some big names played, i remember my mum saying people were passing out in the queue when they saw them up close lol
What an ensemble of legendary people all in one video. Jimmy Z rocking it like a king, Annie with a voice from the heavens... When will there ever be a group like this again? Massive respect.
This song popped into my head this morning, came back and it's as good as ever! catchy as can be and her voice is fantastic. The Brits really know how to make ageless music, 80's to now.
This is exceptionally well composed and expertly arranged. Every solo, each riff, the verse, bridge, chorus, lead vocal, backing vocal and the spoken word intro are all utterly unforgettable. It’s an absolutely timeless slice of pop music.
This is an absolute timeless classic. Annie Lennox voice is beautiful on this track. One of my faves by them. Was too young to appreciate how good Eurythmics were at their peak. Glad I can hear more of their tunes on here. 80s music was so good.
Annie Lennox is a brilliant singer still to this day. She would give Adele a run for her money. Adele is a great singer too. But Annie.is a fantastic singer and song writer. Go on yerself Annie. One Scottish women to another great video from the great Annie Lennox. 👍 🏴🏴
1986... I was 22 and had just finished working in a nightclub when this some came out... Eurythmics are a great band... It is amazing walking into a shopping centre today and hearing the songs from that era still be played regularly.... Shows just how talented the musicians from the 1970s and 1980s were.
I love how she connects with the camera. Subtle looks, moves…very expressive. If there was not sound you still understand the message! 😆 Genius. Sassy bitch and I love her. And Dave! He’s so much fun to watch. Watching this again after 30 years had me smiling.
Growing up in the 80's and 90's these type of catchy songs were everywhere. They were so 'normal' we kinda took em for granted. Now we look back and realize how great and amazing that era of music was.
The eyes, the hair and the cool attitude. It's how an 80's diva should look and sound. Then shove in the cool sax and Daves guitar...Annie is just a total star performer. Luv her to bits....... Wowsers....
Thank you Annie, Dave and the UK as a whole for providing this American with world class tunes from the 80s thru today! Music would not be complete without the Union Jack!
and there's another. call me weird, but thought id do a quick parsing of youtube comments for the word 'underrated'. look almost ANYTHING and this meaningless word will appear...it's really odd
Although the first single from Revenge, "When Tomorrow Comes", had barely reached the UK Top 30, "Thorn in My Side" became Eurythmics' ninth Top 10 single, reaching number 5 in the British charts. To date, it is their last appearance in the UK Top 10. In the United States, the track stalled at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a Top 2 hit in Ireland, and reached the Top 10 in New Zealand (#7) and Sweden (#6).
Essa noite vai ser longa... Que voz essa mulher tem? E q olhos? Nao canso de ouvir Eurythmics !!!! Uma musica melhor que a outra . As bandas de hoje deveriam voltar a usar o saxsofone ! Abracao aos BRs que amam a Annie Lennox e sua banda.

Here we are thinking she's singing about a man.
It's about her first marriage to a scientologist
When I was 14 I was befriended by a scientologist. They came and took him away. Not sure what happened to him after that.
@@Gubalicious When I was 14 he became schizophrenic but she's older now and much better.
Whatever the song is about it does not matter.Its a great song by a great band and artist.
Koliko je moćna ova pesma i posle toliko godina.Uživanje je slušati je.Pozdrav iz Srbije.
She was magic xx
Thanks Annie and Dave
Never faulted you Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. Eurythmics forever...
An incredibly powerful song with amazing lyrics. Absolutely love it This is a band performing at its peak, can't get enough of it.
Zgadzam się z Tobą 100%
Wow, just frikking wow. Stunning in every way possible. An absolutely incredible voice, such a beautiful lady
Class,all these years later..I was 19..I'm 58 now..still love it.
Me too 58 forever Annie lenox❤❤❤
Still loving this song almost 35 years after it was released. Annie Lennox vocals on this are brilliant. One of the greatest British female vocalists for me.
Still love this song 34 years later!!
Definitely one of the best female vocalists around.
Before digitisation and before TH-cam made you a star.
Pure voice. Pure vocal talent.
Annie was one of the best female rock vocalists of all times.
Annie Lennox was ( and is) a star LONG before TH-cam was ever invented.
That sax playing tho! Woooow!
She's brilliant
Legendarna stvar......jedna od njihovih najboljih❤
She's one of our national treasures, one of Scotland's finest
❤

I absolutely love Annie Lennox. ❤x
So many Eurythmics songs explore toxic relationships and this one's about how to move on from one. Thanks to Annie for the advice and attitude! 💪🏻🎵💃🎤
Annie Lennox is an absolute genius. What a hero!!
this is an absolute classic and very catchy song , also 1 of Annie Lennox's best songs as her voice is awesome too.
Truly one of the greatest singers of all time. Up there with Aretha, Tina and Cher. Keep on rocking girl 👧
She’s truly amazing
The best
HELL YEAH .....🏴
*She REALLY IS. Xxxx* 💖🌸
Simply STUNNING!
Beautiful xx
Her voice is incredible and this is a fantastic tune
I miss the 1980s. Such a great decade for music.
What an ensemble of legendary people all in one video. Jimmy Z rocking it like a king, Annie with a voice from the heavens... When will there ever be a group like this again? Massive respect.
don't forget clem burke ... a great drummer
One of the greatest songs of the 80’s. Wonderful memories.
Clubman agreed ,its a great record from start to finish 1980S A great decade for music and this one is up there with the best.
Eurythmics ❤❤❤teenager in the 80s.what a privilege xxxxx
This song popped into my head this morning, came back and it's as good as ever! catchy as can be and her voice is fantastic. The Brits really know how to make ageless music, 80's to now.
There is no one like Annie Lennox . Thank God !
Annie Lennox: simply the best female voice of all time
Apart from Karen carpenter
She's certainly up there Debbie Harry?
Whitney Houston?
I think she is very underrated
Always someone that goes too far lol. She's great, but she's not. Better than Whitney, Mariah or Celine
Annie Lennox is a LEGEND
This is exceptionally well composed and expertly arranged. Every solo, each riff, the verse, bridge, chorus, lead vocal, backing vocal and the spoken word intro are all utterly unforgettable. It’s an absolutely timeless slice of pop music.
I agree.
100 % true. It's something else.
Could be ode to 2022 for many. Onwards and upwards in this New Year,hopefully!
From a Musician's standpoint: "It's musically choreographed"...perfectly!
It's art.
The lyrics of this song, and the joyful tune in the background which means you're getting over it, are quite literally perfect for me right now...
Her facial expressions are awesome. She’s amazing.
Every song is like a great performance and story, amazing artist
@louisa conford totally agree, best female singer in my opinion. Can name so many great songs by her either with eurythmics or solo. Amazing
100% Love her expressions! Channeling Bowie a bit. Great song!
You should see the video 'Walking on broken glass'. There she plays a super bitch.
She was a good actor with real stage presence.
Annie expresses at least as much emotion through her eyes as through her voice.
So stylish Eurythmics 😍
Annie Lennox, what an incredible voice. Just look at her. Total Class!!!!
hit the nail there...CLASS
Annie lennox is a legend and dave Stewart Long live the 80s
Love Eurythmics ! Love Annie Lennox!
80s hits are great even in 2024
She's one of the most beautiful women ever.
yes indeed !!
❤she is fuckin Beautiful
Pure brilliance
I especially love 'Sisters are doing it for themselves'.
80s best ❤
Annie you was so gender back in '80s and today music the hard right would try band you today. YOU & DAVE keep rocking!
The Eurythmics is definitely one of my favorite '80s bands. European rhythms back then were very cool.
Who still listening 2022 brilliant track love this music legend
Listening now Nov. 2 2024
I never get sick of Annie's Eurythmics styles and epic gratefulness,
*Gratitude.
22 years of love!
What a voice and what a face. No better female voice in the 80's...
there was other female with a great voice try Alison Moyet between the 2 of them they had it wrapped up
G
Also, Taylor Dayne!
Kate Bush
Like Belinda Carlisle
Brilliant song never get sick of hearing it class😊
Annie Lennox defined swag before swag was invented...those facial expressions are so on point, love it!!!
The Real music!
Her voice, her stare, the music.....perfect!
The coolness, the energy ❤ This is groundbreaking even in 2024 ♥️🙏

Oh I remember those times very well indeed, it seemed life was so much better then.
Sweet dreams also. Think it might hv been much first dance/rave track back then. Loved it! 😍
@@brendapurvis4803 Adele?... wrong way round boss 😀
I wasn't a huge fan of the 80's, but Annie Lennox was one of the exceptions, she has one of the best female voices ever, love this track
Younger me didn't appreciate Annie's amazing voice. Thankfully older me does ❤
Impressionante as expressões da Annie lennox .
'I should've known better / but I trusted you at first / I should've know better / but I got what I deserved.' - Ouch. My fave song of theirs.
Brutal lyrics, but at the same time we've all been there.
Absolutely love Annie. What an amazing voice.

True
Dave on the 12 string...priceless.
Brilliant song /album.
Don't get any "revenge" fantasies, will you? 😀
Best song of Eurythmics!!!
Annie a true Scottish Legend😀
+ Dave Stewart??
@@mikekaraoke not Scottish though

Absolutely. Sometimes I do think "what happened?"
I miss those days everyday 😞
It was a great time to be young. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.
Yeah thats true
That's really so true !!!
One of the best song's ever
This is amazing.
Bring back the 80s music anyone with me
It never went away
So many of her songs are just a solid part of my life
Everytime i think about my cheating ex who abandoned me to look after our kid alone, I listen to this to make me feel better.
Hmmmm...
Feeling that.
Bass followed by the sax!
Annie Lennox, yass queen!
Annie Lennox was very attractive back in the day.
Best breakup song ever written. So beautifully cathartic ♥️♥️♥️
Loved this and missionary man,proper tunes.
Annie Lennox is a great singer. One of the best. She's definitely up there. Don't care what anyone says.
dave stuart rarely mentioned just as talented
Wow!! I was around in the 80's but I missed this song somehow. It's my new favorite. So good.
One of my all time fav Eurythmics song!! Play it a lot in the car!!
Love this song so much, so many memories of my childhood dancing to this with my mum. ❤️
You are beautiful 🌹 😉 💚
You make reel old sweetie😂❤

Saxofon fantastic😐🤙👌
A great song nice melody good beat amazing vocals by Annie Lennox and great guitar work by Dave Stewart which can only mean it's the Eurythmics
Yep...never gets old....and Annie is stunningly beautiful.
Thank you Annie, Dave and the UK as a whole for providing this American with world class tunes from the 80s thru today! Music would not be complete without the Union Jack!
And a quick shout out to Norway for a-Ha.
You mean Union Crap
true this. UK rock is badass man👌
So nice of you to acknowledge the British music , thankyou x
@@kenray3205 ? What
So many great songs from Annie and Dave.
Great hearing it again.
Love the 80's
Love the Eurythmics
This is one of the most underrated songs in music history!
Agree - the perfect pop song
Thee most
and there's another. call me weird, but thought id do a quick parsing of youtube comments for the word 'underrated'. look almost ANYTHING and this meaningless word will appear...it's really odd
It’s got to be one of the greatest songs ever made. No doubt about it. Incredible.
Although the first single from Revenge, "When Tomorrow Comes", had barely reached the UK Top 30, "Thorn in My Side" became Eurythmics' ninth Top 10 single, reaching number 5 in the British charts. To date, it is their last appearance in the UK Top 10. In the United States, the track stalled at number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was a Top 2 hit in Ireland, and reached the Top 10 in New Zealand (#7) and Sweden (#6).
Music with soul
A mention for the utterly superb Clem Burke on drums for this one. A true pioneer of his craft.
Blondie drummer. He did research into the physical effects of drumming and concluded it's a workout.
Genia Annie Lennox, música atemporal
I don't think that 30-35 years ago I fully appreciated just how perfectly beautiful Annie was/is.
You and me both.
Same. As a kid the androgynous thing threw me. Now I’m 😍
She’s stunning!
Clem is such an awesome drummer!!
She is beyond reality with her creativity. I love AL!
My favorite song from Eurytmics ! She is incredible ! Superior vocalist !
Essa noite vai ser longa... Que voz essa mulher tem? E q olhos? Nao canso de ouvir Eurythmics !!!! Uma musica melhor que a outra . As bandas de hoje deveriam voltar a usar o saxsofone ! Abracao aos BRs que amam a Annie Lennox e sua banda.
Вечно молодая, вечно прекрасная королева Энни и её вечно молодая и прекрасная музыка!
Oh what a stompingly good song! Thank you Eurythmics once again
That's what I thought of it as a six year old blasting it on the stereo in 1990.
