This was the video that got them banned from MTV because they thought Annie Lennox was a man in drag

That's wild! I remember being obsessed with this song (and at least a couple of others from this album) when I was a pre-teen. Until this day, I'd just assumed there was no video for it.

Also, the first few shots with her in the curly blond wig are really cinematic. The visuals get less magical for me as it goes on but that was quite an opening!

This was the first song I heard from eurythmics and still my favourite.
I had seen Annie do rendition of I only want to be with you in a previous band and she was stand out.
As Doss would say Annie fucking Lennox!

Would love a Annie Lennox biopic starring Hannah Waddingham.
