Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing a slick Western pop song? The thing is, there aren’t many like that out there.

This “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” is one of the few cool Western songs that’s easy to sing.

You’ll notice when you hear the melody that the song is surprisingly simple.

It actually works even without much dynamics or vibrato.

Of course, using those techniques will make it sound way better.

The melody leans toward the lower register, but if it’s too low for you, just raise the key.

The overall range is narrow, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

As for the falsetto parts in the middle of the song, feel free to tweak and arrange them loosely to get by.
