The Absurd Story of Eurythmics | Annie Lennox & Dave Steward

They met in a Hampstead restaurant, became a couple, and broke up before the world had heard of Eurythmics. Then Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart made Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) in an attic above a picture framer's, on a five-thousand-pound bank loan, and knocked The Police off number one in America. This Eurythmics documentary tells the true story, in their own words. In this video: • Annie's tenement childhood in Aberdeen and the Royal Academy of Music • Dave's broken knee in Sunderland and the folk band van he hid in • Pippins in Hampstead, the steamed-up window and The Tourists • Breaking up as a couple and starting Eurythmics anyway • In the Garden, Conny Plank, the flops and the bank loan • How Sweet Dreams was made: the attic, the drum computer, the milk bottles • The cow in the boardroom, MTV and No. 1 in America • Love Is a Stranger, the birth certificate story and the 1984 Grammys • Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Tom Petty and Live Aid • Revenge, Savage and the quiet split of 1990 • Diva, the Oscar for Into the West, Peace and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame With interviews with Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart, Jim Toomey of The Tourists, Tom Petty and Bob Geldof. 0:00 Intro 1:27 Two Kids From The North 3:25 Will You Marry Me? 5:04 Nobody Was Interested 7:18 Sweet Dreams 9:51 Who's That Girl? 11:56 Angels And Sisters 14:04 Too Much Of Everything 15:53 Two Solo Careers 17:04 Peace 19:25 Still Joined At The Hip Archive footage, photos and music excerpts belong to their respective owners and are shown for commentary, criticism and education.
