History
During the actual filming took place to the album in Paris, booked the Eurythmics for the recording of this song a recording studio in Los Angeles. The background was that Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox personally dear, should contribute to the harmonica to the song. Although Stevie Wonder appeared too late to the recordings, but Lennox summed up later: " This man is an excellent musician to which it is worth to wait." The song is called sugar- sweet pop song. The Eurythmics played the song, among others, at the presentation of the BRIT Awards 1999, together with Stevie Wonder.

Music Video
The accompanying music video was shot with a budget of £ 100,000 in a theater from the time of King Edward VII in Wimbledon. The dance scenes were choreographed by Billy Poveda, with the Annie Lennox later a love affair Association. With the video, the Eurythmics Ken Russell's film The Devils wanted from the year 1971 pay tribute, Stewart dressed as a Louis XIII. and Lennox as an angel. The scene is inspired by the court of the king and enriched with numerous disguised as nymphs, angels and transvestites extras. The staff dressed in pink and provided with a blond wig Annie Lennox sings the song for the disguised as King Stewart, is bored with the performance and the nodding off here. Only when the gospel choir begins to sing, he wakes up and pays homage to the artists who kneel before him. He gives them money and can ascend a dove. The video ends with the close-up of a winking of Stewart.
