You are missing a very important detail here, the recording began at Chalk Farm but was finished on a Tascam 8 track in a small room at the back of a church in Crouch End, London, Dave and Annie went on to buy the whole building and turn it into the now legendary Church Studios which is still churning out hits to this day

I turned 16 in the Deep South as Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) hit MTV and the airwaves. Annie Lennox's look was the antithesis of what the girls my age looked like: long, curled hair, perfect make-up, feminine dresses, etc. I chopped my below-the-waist hair almost as short as hers but didn't have the guts (or the $$) to dye it orange. My boyfriend didn't speak to me for 4 days, my Dad was furious and my classmates didn't recognize me - I *LOVED* it! I found myself because of that song and Annie Lennox!

My 13 yo daughter just walked in, saw the screen (no sound, my headphones are on) and started singing Sweet Dreams and dancing, stating "It's the law, you have to sing it." Not only do I feel like I have done something right, but she just proved your concluding words.
Annie's voice is pure liquid gold and her strength and beauty and openness about her troubled soul has long been an inspiration to me.

I will never forget being 15 and Sweet Dreams coming out of my cousinâs carâs crappy radio. Iâm not a musical person, and it was one of the few times music ever âspokeâ to me. Iâm a little teary writing this â I was so depressed and contemplating ending things. I didnât know how to be dramatic and pull myself out of it. That song snapped me to attention â it was so weird, but it opened up this whole idea that there was a lot more to the world than my tiny existence. It motivated me. Thank you, Dave and Annie!

I will never forget the day when "Sweet dreams" was aired on the UK music show "Top of the Pops". I was at a friends house and there was a gang of us. The song forced us to stop what we were doing and we all instantly knew this was totally fresh and original. The story of the Eurythmics, and how "sweet dreams" was born, is a lesson to anyone who is trying to achieve a dream. It shows just how many obstacles one has to over come and how one should never give up. Of course having huge talent can help.

In 1983, I was stationed in "West" Germany - this was pre unification - with the US Army. I had also gotten married there. On our honeymoon in Spain, this song was blasting in every club, disco, street market, and venue in Costa Bravo (a beach resort town about 45 minutes from Barcelona)I became a huge fan of Annie's hauntingly beautiful voice. For nearly 40 years now, this song has had a constant place on my top 5 songs EVER!

As a 51 year old American male I can honestly say I am still infatuated with Annie Lennox. Love her voice and really dug her look . She was the subject of an art project I had in college . I put so much passion and time into that piece , my art teacher asked to have it. I really wish I would have said no. Stewart heard and saw the same thing . A rough diamond, now a polished jewel.
