Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - 1983
| The video for Eurythmics' #1 world-wide hit "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" was a visual breakthrough and joined a long line of provocative and ground breaking clips that the duo would release over the next decade. With its Luis Buñuel and Gilbert & George-inspired visuals and its pointed commentary on such ideas as fame, power, and feminism, the video and song struck a chord with critics and the record-buying public alike. The themes and ideas expressed in both would serve as a mantra for Eurythmics' musical philosophy throughout their career. Directed by Dave Stewart & Chris Ashbrook |
| Love Is A Stranger - 1983 |
| The executives at MTV were scratching their heads when they received this unusual video from Dave and Annie in 1983. Exploring various forms of sexual obsession, Annie Lennox plays a call girl, a dominatrix, and finally a transsexual, as Dave Stewart's character watches silently and indulges in a little fetishism of his own. Legend has it that MTV demanded Annie's birth certificate in order to determine whether she was male or female. This single and video was actually released first in the U.K., but did not become a hit until after the success of "Sweet Dreams". Directed by Mike Brady |
