Formation in 1983
The band was put together specifically to perform "I'm Never Giving Up" in the A Song for Europe 1983, the United Kingdom preliminary round to 1983 Eurovision song contest.
Sweet Dreams was often compared to the band called Bucks Fizz, because they were both mixed-gender quartet bands. Bucks Fizz was a band from UK, which won at Eurovision 1981 with song "Making Your Mind Up". Bucks Fizz was the evident prototype for several acts entered in the 1982 UK edition of A Song For Europe—including Lovin' Feeling, another A Song For Europe 1983 entrant. In 1982, Lovin' Feeling had featured McVay (in an otherwise female quartet) and had finished fourth with the song, "Different Worlds, Different People".

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
