Sweet dreams are not made of this.

On Tuesday’s episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” contestant Chris Bryant failed to solve the puzzle in the “Song Lyrics” category when he guessed “Sweet dreams are made of these” instead of “Sweet dreams are made of this.” The lyric is the opening line from the Eurythmics hit, “Sweet Dreams ” and appears at other points during the song.

What’s worse, “this” was already spelled out, but Bryant still said “these,” perhaps signaling how conditioned we are to thinking what the line really is. Another contestant would go on to properly solve the puzzle. “Sweet Dreams ” was the song that introduced millions of fans to the Eurythmics, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983.
