The Eurythmics song “Sweet Dreams” created a nightmare for one Wheel of Fortune contestant on Tuesday. Chris Bryant was well on his way to solving a “song lyrics” puzzle when he mispronounced a word that was completely spelled out.
“Sweet dreams are made of this” was the correct answer, however Bryant pronounced the last word as “these.” While Bryant’s answer was technically incorrect, Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox does appear to pronounce it as “these.” In fact, it rhymes with the final word of the next verse, which is “seas.”
Until I hear Annie Lennox confirm herself that the lyrics are “Sweet dreams are made of THIS”, I will not believe it. Wheel of Fortune ain’t gonna make me think I’ve been hearing those lyrics wrong for almost 40 years. #sweetdreamsaremadeofTHESE pic.twitter.com/pGppkuABpx

Sweet dreams are made of "this?" I was today years old when I learned that "these" isn't the correct lyric. #WheelofFortune

The guy on #WheelOfFortune just said "Sweet Dreams are made of these" to solve the puzzle, and that's exactly what I said too. I could have swore it was "these"!

Today I learned it's "sweet dreams are made of this" not "these."
Anyone else questioning everything they know?#WheelOfFortune

“This” is 4 letters. “These” is 5. The End.
Pat Sajak put out a kind statement last month expressing his wishes that people stop pointing out contestants’ issues such as these.
Terrible song anyway.
Top that.
Why do so many news articles now quote random people on Twitter? If I cared what they have to say, I’d go to Twitter.
Yep. Besides which, I have always known it was "this" even though she doesn't sing it that way.
It doesn’t seem grammatically correct does it. “Dreams” plural, “this” singular.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s lookin’ for something
Pat is a class act and very conservative. He is chairman of the board of directors for Hillsdale College.
LOL! I read that song was initially called “In the garden of Eden” but one of the band members was so stoned he slurred the words “In a gadda da vida” so they kept it.
Well, at least this did not happen (William Shatner on the $20000 Pyramid): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UyxR9g7xi4
only if they’re whirled
As others say, its 4 letters instead of 5.
It’s a stupid puzzle.
Game shows seem to get more ridiculous over time.
If you want to cringe, watch about 10 minutes of Family Feud with Steve Harvey.
I grew up watching Match Game in the 70s. Looking back I thought that was clever. If I was sick and home from school, I watched Price is Right. There was the 20,000 Pyramid I liked. Wheel of Fortune came around later and we were all watching Vanna.
Give peas a chance.
Just wrap it up like a douche in the night already

Terrible song anyway
Do you remember this episode of Family Feud (Dawson)?
