The Eurythmics were a sound and vision of the future. There was appreciation for what they did in the 80's and 90's. But who can match the self-knowing, acid-bitter, sarcastic total package here? Every element lines up. They piled such artistry on top of well-crafted music and laser-focused vocals. The beat drives into a frenzy. The lyrics keep hammering home the message. This is the anthem for the man hungry! It's more than art!

So many people misunderstand this song! Annie is an anti-sexist, feminist, humanist! This song and the character are meant to parody the countless songs that objectify women. She is turning that song type on its head (something she often did). With lines like "I don't need love; forget that stuff!", she is making the man purely an object for sex. But, it's a parody! Get it! It's brilliant!

I never heard this song in the 80s. Recently discovered it. Didn't like it at all at first. I think it was Annie's brash vocals and the icy, chaotic video. But it's quickly become one of my favorite Eurythmics songs! The bold attitude, the percussion, Dave's clever production and the GUITAR. Love it. Love it. Love it. I keep coming back again and again.

Annie is one of my favorite female singers, I love how she embraces so many different characters and styles all while being so cool, aloof but fascinating. The bonus is her incredible vocal talent that even the Queen of Soul had to capture in a duet. I never understood how so many idolize Madonna and sleep on this incredible woman.
