Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is a
New Wave album by British
synth pop duo
Eurythmics, released in January of
1983 (see
1983 in music). Their popular breakthrough after a few minor British hits, this album became a blockbuster on both sides of the Atlantic, with the title track being especially popular; it remains one of Eurythmics' most recognizable songs, and its
music video, popular on
MTV in the
United States, is memorable for
Annie Lennox's gender-bending psycho-sexual imagery.
