And here I thought I had a decent vocabulary - I never knew.
I was reading this Slate article “How To Speak Music” and say this quote
eu-rhyth-mics (yoo rith’miks, yuh-) n. (used with a sing. or
pl. v.)
1. the art of interpreting through bodily
movement the rhythms of improvised music.
I, too, thought thiswas just some clever word play. To find out it’s a real word that actually has to do with music, well that just removes the only reason I ever had any respect for that band at all.
Cough euRYTHmics cough
Thankyou from your portable spellchecker
I had just changed my post signature, and now this thread pops up! How nice.
I used to take Eurythmics classes when I was little. So much fun! I hope I can find some for my kids when I have them.
I just want to say that I am a huge Annie Lennox fan. Thanks.
Yet “rhythm” has an extra “h”.
No wonder some people have trouble with English.
Can I be smug(ish), please? - a close friend of mine studied eurhythmics in some depth. It’s an extremely useful topic and technique, and one I wished I knew more about. (Not Eurythmics, though, thank God.)
I believe that it’s also a musical style/philosophy of some sort that was somehow related to Carmina Burana. But I’ve forgotten the precise details.
Wasn’t she the chick who wore the fruit on her head…I…I…I…I…I…I…Like you very much 
How or does Eurythmics differ from Eurythmy, the movement form designed by Rudolf Steiner and practiced in Waldrof schools and used theraputically for injury recovery or developmental problems? Is it just a trademark thing, or is it different school of thought and/or technique?
Anyone?
Aw, the court threw out the case. The cops didn’t read him his Carmen Miranda rights. 
As far as I can see, they’re synonymous…except that some schools and offshoots use ‘eurhythmy’, and others ‘eurythmics’ (such as the Dalcroze method, which is music-oriented).
