英國流行雙人組［舞韻］－─合成流行／新浪潮／電子音樂──［Love Is a Stranger／愛是個陌生人］

Love is a stranger in an open car

To tempt you in and drive you far away

Ooh, love is a stranger in an open car

To tempt you in and drive you far away

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

Love is a danger of a different kind

To take you away and leave you far behind

And love, love, love is a dangerous drug

You have to receive it and you still cant get enough of the stuff

Its savage and its cruel and it shines like destruction

Comes in like the flood and it seems like religion

Its noble and its brutal, it distorts and deranges

And it wrenches you up and youre left like a zombie

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

Its gilt-edged, glamorous and sleek by design

You know its jealous by nature, false and unkind

Its hard and restrained and its totally cool

It touches and it teases as you stumble in the debris

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

And I want you

And I want you

And I want you so

Its an obsession

１９８３年１月，英國流行雙人組舞韻（Eurythmics）推出第二張大碟［Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)／美夢(由此構成)］（RCA唱片發行）

由團員大衛·A·史都華（David A. Stewart）Adam Williams，Robert Crash製作，評價良好．

１９８２年１１月，舞韻推出先發單曲［Love Is a Stranger／愛是個陌生人］

由團員安妮藍妮克絲（Annie Lennox）＋大衛·A·史都華創作．

大衛·A·史都華製作成一首合成流行／新浪潮／電子音樂．

編曲營造出冷峻氛圍，節奏輕快，安妮的白人靈魂詮釋精彩．．

《Cash Box》雜誌評論：“安妮藍妮克絲極具感染力的嗓音與迷幻的電子伴奏完美融合，使［Love Is a Stranger］既充滿挑戰性又似曾相識。”

《Smash Hits》雜誌評論，［Love Is a Stranger］巧妙地將藍妮克絲「富有韻味」的嗓音融入了現代音樂編曲之中。

《Stereogum》和《衛報》分別將這首歌列入他們評選的安妮藍妮克絲最佳歌曲榜單的第二名和第一名。

［Love Is a Stranger］最初只登上英國單曲榜＃５４

１９８３年初，舞韻已大跌標題曲［Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)／美夢(由此構成)］登上英國榜亞軍，美國榜冠軍，一炮而紅．
