Sweet dreams (are made of these) - eurythmics

I'm pretty sure this is the first song I heard that I knew was a drum machine. Someone must have told me "that's a drum machine". I imagined that is was probably 2' x 2' and maybe 3' tall. I have no idea why I thought that.

I think we're alone now

recent batch

1. "Jane of the Waking Universe" - GBV not one of my favorites, but I like the chorus, it is Pollard, after all. 2. "Promises, Promises" - Naked Eyes (I had to look up who this was) 3. Red Rubber Ball - I just found out that this was co-written by the guy from the Seekers (Georgy Girl, etc..). I like the Cirkle version better.
