Nothing really new here as far as mixes on this 12″ but being a completest I wanted to include this 12″ so that all of the single releases from Eurythmics sixth studio album “Savage” were represented.

“Beethoven (I Love to Listen To)” is a song by the British pop music duo Eurythmics, released as the first single (in the UK) from their 1987 album, Savage.

It was written by group members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart. Although not released as a single in the United States, the track appeared as a double A-side of the 12-inch single for “I Need a Man”, and received heavy rotation on MTV. It was a Top 20 hit in several European territories and also in Australia.

The Savage album returned Eurythmics to a more electronic sound and the “Beethoven” vocals are performed mostly as spoken-word from Lennox, with the exception of the repeated phrase “I love to” throughout the track.
