Time now for one of my favorite Eurythmics songs. Understandably not one of their biggest singles, it was released as the first single from their 1987 album Savage. The single peaked at #25 in the UK and gave us the best video the duo ever made.
Take a girl like that
And put her in a natural setting
Like a cafe for example.
Along comes the boy
And he’s looking for trouble
With a girl like that
With a girl like that.
Who knows what they’ll decide to do.
Who knows what they’ll get up to.
I’d love to know.
Wouldn’t you?
I love to listen to Beethoven...
You think you know just what you want
But you have used that weapon against me.
Did I tell you I was lying by the way
When I said I wanted a new mink coat.
I was just thinking about
Something sleek
To wrap around my tender throat
I was dreaming like a Texan girl
A girl who thinks she’s got the right to
everything.
A girl who thinks she should have
Something extreme.
I love to listen to Beethoven...

this is probably my favorite Eurythmics song, there are a lot of good ones but this is just so funny and that video is ACE :O)
By far their best video, and I never get tired of this song. I wonder what the record company thought when they heard it though ("OK, so you want to put THIS out as the first single"???)
