We know Stevie sings backup vocals on it, but there's more to it apparently.

"Stewart tells the full glorious story in The Dave Stewart Songbook http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...ngfactscom1-20, but here are the highlights: Eurythmics had a huge hit with "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" and became a phenomenon in the United States. They played the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, and Stewart met Stevie Nicks backstage after the show. She had broken up with Joe Walsh the day before, so she took Stewart home with her and they had a romantic encounter. The next morning, Stevie kicked him out, and Stewart flew to San Francisco for his next gig. After the show, he used a Portastudio to create a track using a drum machine, a synthesizer and a sitar. Reflecting on the last 24 hours, Stewart says: "I really liked Stevie and she seemed vulnerable and fragile when I was leaving that morning. I was thinking about that and the situation she was in and I started singing, 'Don't come around her no more.'"
A few days later Stewart was staying with producer Jimmy Iovine, who was working on Stevie's Bella Donna album. Stewart played him his demo, and they started writing the song for Stevie. Stewart didn't know that Nicks and Iovine were once a couple, and when she came over to record the song, tensions boiled over and she left in a huff. Iovine decided to give Tom Petty the song, and had him come by, where they finished it up. Petty and Nicks had worked with Iovine on the duet "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," which went on Stevie's album, so it was only fair that Petty got this one."


Wow.I wonder if it's true.Stevie and Dave Stewart, who would've thought!
Has anyone read his book or heard other stories about it?
Somebody's brain is fried because Stevie was dating Iovine during the recording of Bella Donna. She started dating Walsh during The Wild Heart Tour and broke up with Walsh in approx. 1986.
