Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

(Ooh) Hey, hey
(Ooh) Ah-ha-oh

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

(Ooh) Ha, ha
(Ooh) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hold your head up
Keep your head up (Movin' on)
Hold your head up (Movin' on)
Keep your head up (Groovin' on)

Hold your head up (Movin' on)
Keep your head up (Groovin' on)
Hold your head up (Movin' on)
Keep your head up

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

(Ooh) Ha, ha, ha-oh, oh, oh
(Ooh) Oh, oh-oh, ah-ah-ah

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas (Oh, oh)
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this (Whoa)
Who am I to disagree? (Oh-oh-oh)
I travel the world and the seven seas (Oh-oh-oh)
Everybody's looking for something (Oh)

Sweet dreams are made of this (Ha, ha, ha)
Who am I to disagree? (Ha, oh)
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something (Eh, eh, eh)

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree? (Hey, hey, hey)
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something (Oh-oh)

Sweet dreams are made of this (Ah-ha)

This song was always fun, and still reminds me of Raspy from Port Huron, and his room-mate brothers Craig and Todd from Canton, Ohio, who lived across the courtyard from me at Varsity Townhouses on The Hill here in Boulder when this was all over the airwaves that wild and crazy Summer of '83. I can still remember one hot, dry Friday afternoon when Raspy was singing along to this as we awaited another round of massive two-for one frozen margs with beer chasers down at Jose Muldoon's, and Craig saying "It's a deal, it's a deal, you KNOW it's a deal!" and Todd was chuckling and grinning a mile wide as he gave us each a tiny little piece of paper imprinted with the Quantum Genome of The Universe for under our tongues. ~ FUN SUMMER ~

-------till here from the internets---------------

Some cheese wants to be Bleu, too
Some cheese wants to be Buchette d'Anjou
Some cheese wants to be cubed
Some cheese will be braided by you

Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Colby or Chevre, if you please
I ferment the milk and then I squeeze
Everybody needs penicillium

Mold is better, on the rind
Mold is better, leaves taste behind
Mold is better, cheese is confined
Mold is better, use my enzymes

Some cheese ought to be grated
No cheese should be ammoniated
Some cheese will always be hated
No cheese wants to be called rancid

Sweet dreams are made of cheese
Casein and rennet curdle it with ease
Whey from the curds it eventually frees
The best cheese comes from Wisconsin

Had the pleasure of seeing the Eurythmics live at Hammersmith in London as they were touring this album. Annie totally dominated the stage and captivated us all. Never seen anyone so bewitching.

Some of them want Maredsous

Some of them want the Remoudou

Some of them want a Geitost

Some of them want the Danish Blue

The synth bassline reminds me of the soundtrack of the Lazy Jones game for the Commodore 64 (and other computers) from the 80s. The soundtrack contains a lot of references to songs from the 80s: 99 luftbalons by Nena, Fade to Gray by Visage and others. In turn, the main tune from Zombie Nation's Kernkraft 400 from 1999 was taken from this game! Lazy Jones soundtrack

Possibly the only Eurhythmics song I like (but I like it).
I better enjoyed Dave Stewart's first two solo albums.

This song is better than it has any right to be. Repetitive and simple, but it hit the formula exactly. Simultaneously set the stage and raised the bar for acts like The Ting-Tings and Sofi Tukker.

Me too at the Kingswood Music Theatre 1984. Might have been the best sound I ever heard especially just Annie Dave and his guitar for a good chunk of the show.

It's a very, very well-built song. Tight beats, interesting synth sounds (this may be the first time listening to it with decent-quality headphones and not over lousy speakers), crisp vocal harmonies.

I just wish it hadn't been overplayed to death on commercial radio.

According to Joe Jackson's memoir, "A Cure for Gravity," Annie Lennox and Sir Simon Rattle were both in his graduating class in 1974. She studied harpsichord, flute, and piano. Jackson's degree was in percussion—tho' he played both piano and sax. Rattle won the award for conducting.

Nope, this is not what got airplay when the song was first released. Trust a child of the 80s. My one tiny complaint about RP is that alternate mixes of songs aren't identified as such and the album that the original studio mix appeared on is usually listed instead of the actual source. Otherwise, love RP! ...and the Eurythmics.
