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
Don't mess with a missionary man

Oh, the missionary man, he's got God on his side
He's got the saints and apostles backing 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 following me
He said, stop what you're doing, get down upon your knees
I've a message for you that you better believe

Well I was born an original sinner
I was borne from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money

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

OMG that bass line is heavy and driving!!!   Good stuff!

yes, we heard this a lot on the radio in the 80's, maybe too much, but it's so good!




I agree. It is even better now in FLAC w/ great studio phones, amp & DAC!  Thanx RP!

I used to think Annie Lennox was a great singer - now I am not so sure. The more I listen very carefully to her songs she definitely has a powerful voice but it is only on a very limited vocal range. To exceed her limited mid-range voice she has to resort to 'head singing' or falsetto with quite a noticeable 'step change' between the two. When she goes below her range she get very 'breathy' - more air movement than singing.

This song perfectly illustrates what I am saying - it is all sung on two or three notes which are in her strong range - probably written specifically for her by David Stewart who knows her strengths and weaknesses.

I still like listening to Annie but if you ever hear her singing something not specifically written for her then it unfortunately exposes this limitation in her vocal abilities.

But when she really belts our her strong notes she is very powerful and moving.

Who was playing harmonica?  Likely a Hohner Blues Harp.  I had the full collection, one in every key.  Sounded best when the reeds were slightly damp.  Just run one under the tap in cool water for a few seconds and let air dry for a while.  

Dan Aykroyd, as "Elwood Blues", carried his blues harmonicas in a briefcase that he kept handcuffed to his wrist, in the manner of a CIA courier; Belushi originally carried the key to those handcuffs.

This particular song may illustrate your assertion because structurally it is essentially a blues song - a genre which historically uses a pentatonic (5-note) scale for its melodies.  Maybe it's just press-kit publicity, but according to what I've read of her, she has a three-octave, contralto range.

Wow.  Another Eurythmics song I've never heard and that is rocking my world. 
Despite my age, I pretty much missed the 'Mics -  didn't understand their thing. 
I certainly was into Lennox' s solo stuff, though. 

Now I  have the privilege of discovering the duo's music and finding there was much more than SWEET DREAMS and HERE COMES THE RAIN to like! 

For this and so much more, THANK YOU, BILL !!!  {#Sunny}

Yes, she looks very hot in the video. Didn't they do one with cows in it? Would love to see that again. Never watched that many music videos in their heyday so I feel a mixture of nostalgia and peering-through-the-fingers hysterical laughter at them now.

Got a soft spot for Annie Lennox as a solo artist, and with the Eurythmics.  Great stuff, well done - some of it was pop-ish, but there is such a thing as great pop.  Music can be enjoyable, brilliant even, and toe-tapping without 'society sucks' or 'love hurts' type messages.
