Many of the classics are classics for a reason: everyone knows them and everyone can sing along to them.
That's unless you're these two uninitiated YouTubers, who decided to pop Eurthymics' well-known 1983 banger 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' on for the first time and record their reaction.
This prompted a response from a delighted Annie Lennox, who was one half of the band and sang vocals on the hit.
Tim and Fred Williams, who create content over at TwinsthenewTrend on YouTube, posted a six-minute video in which they played Lennox's timeless tune, singing along and dancing around in appreciation.

The clip was part of their 'First Time Hearing' series, a regular feature on their YouTube channel that has also seen the duo take on the likes of Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight'.
After popping 'Sweet Dreams' on, it seems they were instant fans.
"Legendary chorus," they exclaimed at one point in appreciation.
"That is a cool song, man."
Eventually, the footage made its way to Lennox, who shared it on Twitter and said: "Oh my GOD!!! I saw this for the first time a couple of days ago... It's amazing from my perspective, watching these two incredible young guys picking up on 'Sweet Dreams' - recorded in '83 THAT'S where the true power of music lies... A bridge to the soul and intellect."

In another tweet she added: "Sweet Dreams is a surrealistic futuristic dystopian mantra for the existential nature of our human dilemma!!!!! Ya think?!!!!"
Lennox's post went viral, racking up more than 3,500 likes.
"I love these boys!" one person tweeted. "They bring new life to good music of all genre!"
Another added: "I never ever could imagine a world where people don't know this song in their very bones, but I love how these lads CELEBRATE discovering something new to their ears."
