September 3, 1983 –
One of the songs that defined MTV in the 80s, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by the Eurythmics, was No. 1 on the Billboard charts on this date. It was their only US chart topper.
In 1978, Squeeze had a UK hit with Take Me I’m Yours, which features the line “Dreams are made of this” in the chorus.
Marilyn Manson recorded the song in 1995, giving a much darker tone to the song.
(In Manson’s auto-biography, he related to this song by mentioning that he met people who wanted to be abused by him; and who wanted to use him as well.)
