I know, man, @JohnRoberts just finished off a boffo Eurythmics countdown, but here they are at #5 in my Favorite "Man" Songs, which is songs with "man" in the title: the fifth spot is their hit song, "Missionary Man."
From their 1986 album, Revenge, "Missionary Man" is, as it stands, Eurythmics' last US Top 20 hit. The hard rocking tune won the duo a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance - Group.
While the single peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100, it reached #1 on that magazine's Mainstream Rock chart (and Top 20 on two other Billboard charts.) The Aussie's also had great taste, taking the tune to #9. All told, "Missionary Man" charted in a total of nine countries.
I've linked to the official video, in which Annie Lennox looks especially hot.
Enjoy!

@teamfreak16 She still has it. Her voice is electrifying.

Maybe "Sisters are Doing it for Themselves?" Same era, big hit.

Like I've said before, she could sing the Denny's menu and I'd listen.

I know a great many people like this song, but I think it's my least favorite by them.

I like it. "I've Got an Angel" is my favorite by them, though.
