Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The breakout single by the British new wave duo Eurythmics, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," was inspired by a period of inner turmoil in its protagonists' lives. Even though Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were no longer romantically involved by the time they both quit The Tourists in 1980, the pair decided to keep working as a creative unit under the name Eurythmics. In the Garden, their studio debut, was released in 1981 but went largely unnoticed by both critics and audiences. However, their second full-length Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (1983) established them as bona fide pop juggernauts, reaching Number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and Number 15 on the Billboard 200. This was largely thanks to its title track, an icy synth-pop reverie that became a worldwide hit in the summer of 1983. Released as the fourth and final single from the LP, "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" peaked at Number 2 on the UK charts and topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart thanks to its iconic accompanying video.
