Talk:Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

message: There is a discrepancy between this article and the article of the album on which this track can be found. The album page says that this track's bass line was discovered when a track from a musical box was played backwards, while this page attributes it to a reversed "bass tape" (which [correct me if i'm wrong] sounds a little ambiguous anyway)... 82.44.76.119 16:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't there a song (a rap I think) that has the same bassline? But the lyrics were something totally different. I heard of it on the radio just recently but I don't know the title. That song should be mentioned in this article. --AverageAmerican 05:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For the record, yes there is, the song "Get Freaky" by Pitbull uses the same bassline, but speed up. when i first herd this song, Tunatic accidentally identified "Sweet Dreams" as "Get Freaky" EvilHom3r (talk) 23:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The title says "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", but for the LONGEST time I've seen the title actually be named "Sweet Dreams Are Made of THESE"! I could've swore I've seen the latter title, and the former title being used is making me NUTS with confusion. The way Lennox sings this, it DOES sound like she sings "These" instead of "This". Marylin Manson's cover DEFINITELY is sung "these", so my question is, should this be pointed out in some way on this article? Darkpower 12:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: She clearly SAYS, "These," but all copies of the lyrics say, "this." Could be a typo. I think the reasonable assumption is that, in lieu of an official answer from Annie Lennox herself, is that, "this" is a typo that they never bothered to fix because it was well established and part of an album title. I don't think any reasonable person would disagree with that assumption, after listening to the song.2600:1700:91B0:E7F0:6103:D244:C7B5:E806 (talk) 18:20, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I see it has been added, but out of curiosity, why is it called "Chelsea" if it is a cover version?  Is it instead a different song that uses a sample? - eo 23:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cover Versions 

message: That video on a train thing was not an alternative version of the videoclip but part of german music show "bananas" where popular artists would perform playback performance in cheap props.--77.13.218.155 (talk) 02:20, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Alternative video" 

message: I just wanted to point out that the artist/band 'Skyland' samples this song in 'A Sign'. I didn't know if it was appropriate to add this information to the article because I know nothing of the artist, no article on them exists. There are youtube videos of the song though, different versions exist ~ 2A02:1810:390F:BE00:1921:D8F:B814:C201 (talk) 03:28, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
