[edit] "Music box" or "bass tape"?
There is a discrepancy between this article and the article of the album on which this track can be found. The album page says that this track's bass line was discovered when a track from a musical box was played backwards, while this page attributes it to a reversed "bass tape" (which [correct me if i'm wrong] sounds a little ambiguous anyway)... 82.44.76.119 16:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another song with the same bassline?
Isn't there a song (a rap I think) that has the same bassline? But the lyrics were something totally different. I heard of it on the radio just recently but I don't know the title. That song should be mentioned in this article. --AverageAmerican 05:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- For the record, yes there is, the song "Get Freaky" by Pitbull uses the same bassline, but speed up. when i first herd this song, Tunatic accidentally identified "Sweet Dreams" as "Get Freaky" EvilHom3r (talk) 23:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] This or These?
The title says "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", but for the LONGEST time I've seen the title actually be named "Sweet Dreams Are Made of THESE"! I could've swore I've seen the latter title, and the former title being used is making me NUTS with confusion. The way Lennox sings this, it DOES sound like she sings "These" instead of "This". Marylin Manson's cover DEFINITELY is sung "these", so my question is, should this be pointed out in some way on this article? Darkpower 12:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I think she means to say "this", but pronounces it almost like "these" to make it a better rhyme (in a way). Its almost like assonance (repeated vowel sound) with "dreams" and "this", the "-is" is pronounced like "-ees" to go with "-eams" better. It also sounds better with "disagree", as it has a longer "e" sound. PhorkPhace 23:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cover Versions
Ok we all know that Marilyn Manson did a cover of this, but what about the cover by Cradle of Filth featuring HIM, and the cover by Wykked Wytch? I will add this in to the best of my ability, feel free to change or remove it when i have done
There was also a cover of the song done by Stefy named "Chelsea" in the John Tucker Must Die soundtrack. This is more recent but definitely deserves mention. I'll try and add it in. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.66.213.235 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 6 August 2007
- I see it has been added, but out of curiosity, why is it called "Chelsea" if it is a cover version? Is it instead a different song that uses a sample? - eo 23:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
