Biography

British synthpop duo of [a=Annie Lennox] (b. December 25, 1954, Aberdeen, UK) and [a=David A. Stewart] (b. September 9, 1952, Sunderland, UK). They first recorded together as members of new wave band [a=The Catch (2)] who would change their name to [a291650] and enjoy two UK top ten hits in early 1980, but disband before the year was out. In 1981, Lennox and Stewart made their debut as Eurythmics, though they struggled to gain recognition at first, only breaking through with their sixth single Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This). This was the turning point of their career. They continued to be one of the leading synth pop groups throughout the eighties. After a long period of solo activities in the early and mid-90s Eurythmics re-united for one album and charity world tour in 1999 and in 2004 for the release of extended, remastered and repacked editions of their previous albums and a second hits compilation. Eurythmics released one song (the B-side of Put A Little Love In Your Heart by Annie Lennox & [a=Al Green]) under the alias The Spheres Of Celestial Influence, a name considered before naming themselves Eurythmics. They chose that name referring to the Dalcroze [i]eurhythmics[/i] pedagogical exercise system that Lennox had encountered as a child, aka the Dalcroze method. Note: there are combined audio & video masters for [Link], [Link] and [Link].

LYRICS

Well I was born an original sinner.
I was born from original sin.
And if I had a dollar bill
For all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money
Piled up to my chin...

My mother told me good
My mother told me strong.
She said "be true to yourself
And you can't go wrong."
"But there's just one thing
That you must understand."
"You can fool with your brother -
But don't mess with a missionary man."

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well the missionary man
He's got God on his side.
He's got the saints and apostles
Backin' up from behind.
Black eyed looks from those Bible books.
He's a man with a mission
Got a serious mind.
There was a woman in the jungle
And a monkey on a tree.
The missionary man he was followin' me.
He said "stop what you're doing."
"Get down upon your knees."
"I've got a message for you that you better believe."

(Chorus repeats...)
