Awesome 80s song written originally in and about the aftermath of the breakup of The Tourists. Great haunting song about dreams that have been lost and seem impossible to achieve.
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - by the Eurythmics
If you haven't seen it before, the video is very interesting, especially with the cow featuring so heavily.
Sweet Dreams - presented by Patty Gurdy
This is the song that brought me here today. I came across Patty Gurdy with her Hurdy Gurdy and realized that here was someone who was good at something weird, but wonderful. I like her very Irish voice and the way she presents this song.
Sweet Dreams on the Floppotron - presented by Paweł Zadrożniak
Another weird, but wonderful entry today. I've seen this "instrument" before but haven't had the opportunity to feature it. It really is amazing that all these sounds can be made by computer parts!
On to the parodies!
This was another one that was hard to find good parodies for. So many people seem to think that using the original song and just editing in the new word is enough - not for me!
This lady is really sweet and does a pretty good job considering she seems to be doing it completely on her own. I'd love to see her spread out (pun intended) a little more and really sharpen (another intended pun) her skills.

Vocals are okay, extra instruments good, lyrics good, demonstrations good. I'd just like to see some more polish, and maybe finding of another person to bring up her performance a notch, but it's still worth giving her some love.
Today's WTF Selection (content warning!)
Indecent acts with cheese (even as a dream sequence) nearly puts this in the NSFW category...

WTF did I just watch? Full marks for creativity, but the near-nudity makes it fall afoul of most public decency standards, but I still give them credit for originality and coming up with something... uh... different.
Grand Finale
Sweet Dreams - presented by Sweet Dreams Mattress
That's right, this is a commercial!!! I think they've really gone all out and have a real winner. I'd go and see them just because of this performance.
That's it for today! I hope you had as much fun as I did!
As usual, I'm simply sharing YouTube videos on a theme, all rights remain with the original.
