Get Down, Make Love (3:50)

“Get Down, Make Love”, written by Freddie Mercury, is among the most sexual-oriented songs in the Queen catalogue.

The distinctive ‘psychedelic’ sound effects heard in the song were not produced on a synthesizer, but on Brian May’s Red Special guitar and an Electroharmonix Frequency Analyzer pedal, which he would often do live. These sound effects, together with Mercury’s moans and groans, were expanded upon during live renditions of the song, presenting the band an opportunity to show off the full potential of their stage lights and effects.

The song was later covered by Nine Inch Nails, appearing on their “Sin” single.
