Holidailies time

I was watching a YouTube video kind of randomly last night (as one does) - I had no idea what song the video was talking about when I clicked on it, but it turned out to be one of my old favorites, and while I've written a ton of stuff about 80s music over the years, I don't remember talking about this one specifically. (There's an "80s music" tag that goes all the way back into my old Livejournal entries, if you care!)  Anyway, the song, in case you don't want to follow the link, is "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This" (I think that is supposed to have some punctuation in there but I'm tired and I don't feel like looking it up!) I have really vivid memories about freaking out about that song back when it came out, because it was just so unlike anything else that was around at the time. Annie Lennox in a suit with a guys' haircut was just mind-blowing in 1983, not to mention the rest of the video, and that synthesizer track! Awesome.

(That video linked above is actually really interesting - I didn't know any of that backstory the guy tells.)
