Sweet Dreams


"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a 1983 synth-pop hit by Eurythmics, released on RCA Records as the breakthrough single that brought the British duo international success, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its dark, hypnotic riff has made it a crossover classic, later reimagined by Marilyn Manson in a heavier rock arrangement. For electric guitarists, learning both versions offers a study in contrasting tones — clean, atmospheric playing versus aggressive, distortion-driven reinterpretation of the same iconic melodic hook.

  • The original Eurythmics track is synth-driven, but its main hook translates naturally to electric guitar as a single-note riff.
  • Marilyn Manson's cover shifts the song into a distorted, industrial metal context — useful practice for heavy rhythm and lead tones.
  • "Sweet Dreams" reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
