Nine Inch Nails - Get Down, Make Love Lyrics






Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love -
You take my body -
I give you heat
You say your hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love -
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love,
Get down make love -
Get down make love
Get down make love -

Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough
In fact its too much.
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down,
Make love -

I can squeeze - You can shake me
I can feel - when you break me
Come on so heavy - when you take me -
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make everybody get down make love,
Get down make love

Everytime I get high
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna come down
You say its enough
In fact its too much
Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down -
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love

    As big as Freddie Mercury was, Trent Reznor made it his own on his own terms.

  6. A.... 6....

    This was originally by Queen, on the News of the World album.

    (According to NiN Wiki)

    (How old were you when you first let a man make love to you? Next who was he? Next, how did you feel at the time? Next, how did you feel afterwards? What did you feel, what did you think? Were you pleased, frightened, ecstatic, disgusted? What did he say? What words did you speak? That's what I want to know, Now, tell me, now, now, all of it, now, tell me, yes!)

    Get down, make love You take my body, I give you heat You say you're hungry, I give you meat I suck your mind, you blow my head Make love inside your bed Everybody get down, make love Get down, make love Every time I get hot you want to cool down Every time I get high you say you want to come down You say it's enough In fact it's too much Every time I want to get down Get down, make love I can squeeze, you can shake me I can feel when you break me Come on so heavy when you take me You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love You can make Everybody get down, make love Get down, make love Every time I get high you want to come down Every time I get hot you say you want to cool down You say it's enough In fact it's too much Every time I want to get down Get down, make love

  17. A.... W....

    Kill r ass tunes all and all

  18. A.... W....

    Bad to the bone. Thanks so much for your works they have done wonders for my self esteem.

  19. C.... S....

    The Cabinet of Caligari (1962) is where the intro is from - - Some of the friends from 1000 Homo Djs were also involved with this track

    C.... S....

    That's some interesting trivia and I appreciate it

  20. C.... S....

    Hi5Jenny thanks for the fun on my16thbirthday. This song will commemorate my "time" for my whole life edit: also sorry Sears for the laffo number of JBL subwoofers I blew and returned because of this track. Solid decision to stop allowing blown subwoofer returns! edit: too bad for my poor ears you didn't do it sooner!

  21. M.... M....

    “I’ll give you meat”

  22. C.... M....

    Hell yeah

  23. s.... l....

    This is fucking atrocious!!!!!! Its just Trent very badly singing it over some shite random beat he's cobbled together. Even the music is terrible by NIN standards, and certainly by Queen. I was quite looking forward to hearing this only to be disappointed by the very mediocre.

    s.... l....

    Hater! This is HOT! Queen's version is overrated!

    s.... l....

    How can the original be overrated? It's got some interesting musical value whereas spent reznor has taken that and made, meh. @MissTia777

    s.... l....

    He didn't cobble together anything this was Uncle Al's creative decision.

  24. H.... S....

    sorry, just came from Queen version. It’s the best! NIN did make a good try and put their own spin on it, but between the Queen sounds and Freddie’s voice, this doesn’t quite get there.

  25. J.... B....

    Ruined a good song

  26. S.... V....

    We are a group of music lovers nerding out over our favorite songs that fall under a new theme each day. Come show us what you got! Today’s theme is “Get”.

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/SupercordsMusicClub/

  27. a.... s....

    Writer Trent Reznor?????
    It's a Queen song and writer is Freddy Mercury!!!!!!!!!!!

    a.... s....

    apollo slowmo Freddie*

    a.... s....

    @Aesthetic LadyThanks, but that doesn't change anything. Still Trent Reznor is not writer of song

  28. B.... B....

    I wouldn't kick Trent or Freddie out of bed after listening to both versions but Freddie's vocals on Queen's version exude more raw, unbridled, lustful sexuality to me. Gets me going every single time. Trent's version sounds more like a power trip.

    B.... B....

    Have to agree with your point "Freddie's vocals on Queen's version exude more raw, unbridled, lustful sexuality to me. Gets me going every single time." Also, I too would enjoy a romp with either!! 😉😁

    B.... B....

    Maybe kick Freddy Mercury out of bed.. Just a suggestion lol

  29. R.... S....

    I can't understand how someone would say this is better than Queenʼs.
    This is easy sexy thing with use of lots of moaning. The singers voice, not much.
    Freddie only needed his voice and the sheer music

    R.... S....

    Absolutely! I like NIN, and here Trent pays homage to Queen while doing his own thing with it, in his style. But Freddie and Queen didn't need to sample any moaning to get the sex across - the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I hear the original. This song kinda scared the shit out of me as a kid, in a good way.

  30. L.... D....

    Both versions are good but I prefer Queen's version. But Trent made this his own.

  31. b.... ....

    Love both NIN and Queen and unbelievably, I just learned that this version even exists. My thoughts after one listen: 1) Freddie's dry raw vocals still kill even with all the slick production and distortion on Trent's. I dig Trent's take on the vocals though. 2) Was really looking forward to hearing what sonic wonders NIN would create with Queen's gorgeous mindblowing instrumental section in the middle of the song, and I was so disappointed that Trent left it out completely. Trent is a master of production and incredible otherworldly sound, and I can't believe he didn't feel up to the challenge. He put some samples in at the end, but c'mon Trent be original and put your stamp on it. That's what covers are for!

    b.... ....

    It wasn't Reznor in the production bay. Al Jorgensen of Ministry produced and remixed it. They did the song on a whim during a night of binge drinking, cocaine for Al and Reznor getting slipped roofies. Also, this came out in, like, the third year of Reznor's professional career. He's not nearly as confident as he is by 1994 onwards

  32. A.... C....

    This is an interesting cover. It's like the SM-version of "Get Down Make Love". :) Sounds more like "Get Down Make Ouch". :D Nevertheless it's generally not the best idea to cover the maybe best rock singer of all time since you can only fail at it. There is so much about the voice of Freddie Mercury simply no one else can compare to. Sorry Mr. Reznor. But nice try.

    A.... C....

    @BigballzDeep 🤣🤣

    A.... C....

    Great comparison - "SM-version of "Get Down Make Love". :) Sounds more like "Get Down Make Ouch" 🤣🤣🤣

  33. F.... ....

    I like NIN, but this...nee, nee. 👎
    Not even close to the awesome atmosphere of the original.

  34. C.... A....

    Queen is definitely better than this

    C.... A....

    No its not

  35. B.... M....

    Just listened to this for the first time. (Yeah, hard to believe) A great cover of one of my all time favorite Queen tracks.

  36. J.... G....

    Tremendous cover!

  37. P.... N....

    Why am I seeing republican attack ads in NIN videos??? Wtf youtube.

  38. a.... w....

    Never heard of these guys, came across them by chance, but love this version

    a.... w....

    anne watson
    You ought to listen to their music. Pretty hate machine, head like a hole.

  39. I.... J....

    " you take my body, I give you heat. You say you hungry, I give you meat". Oh yeah:)

  40. J.... T....

    I have always loved this song, since I head it when it first came out.. I love how they sample THE CABINET OF CALIGARI in the beginning ... IMO one of the best horror movies from the 1960's.

  41. S.... M....

    #HUMPINMUSIC

  42. A.... ....

    That album cover is SO COOL.

  43. 2.... 2....

    Not a song to listen to when your parents are home

    2.... 2....

    2.green 2
    ....and your children at home too..

    2.... 2....

    Growing up a preacher's kid, that's exactly when I played it!😈

  44. b.... ....

    quality early nails

  45. b.... g....

    The story Al Jourgensen had was hilarious. He was surprised Reznor called him to remix this cover after the sheer amount of abuse he dumped on Reznor years prior. They stayed all night drinking and turned it into a contest. Who could stay awake the longest without passing out.

    Reznor agreed, but he played by the rules. Al on the other hand was taking hits of cocaine and finally when Trent wasn't looking, he roofied Reznor and Vrenna's drinks. Reznor passed out and Al shaved Vrenna, and was halfway through shaving Reznor when Reznor woke up and started screaming.

    b.... g....

    Haha what insane guys.

  46. j.... d....

    no offense to queen

  47. N.... N....

    Every time I you get high, you know you wanna come down. Get down, make love

  48. G.... ....

    Badass!

  49. a.... c....

    Fetish Factory needs to add this to the right playlists

  50. T.... ....

    Woah... the intro... haven't heard this in years! I recently have been revisiting nin after a hiatus of about 10 years. I listened to nin and only nin through middle and then all through high school. I overdid it. But this song just reminded me why I loved trent so much. Some of the memories I have listening to these songs are cringe worthy and I couldn't listen for so long. Still can't listen to some songs but I tip my hat to this one! Trent, you still sexy ;p

    T.... ....

    time travel is awesome, isn't it?!

  51. n.... ....

    It's only when I listen to this cover that I realize how old the original sounds... both are masterpieces tho.

  52. n.... ....

    This song is sex

  53. D.... B....

    This and Queen's original KICK ASS!

  54. P.... V....

    The number of guys and girls that destroyed each other to this must be incredible.

    P.... V....

    I can verify this. I learned that I am way into BDSM and am a natural Dom while this was playing.

    P.... V....

    Queen did the original in 82, in case ya’ll dont know.

    P.... V....

    Bro though.....

    P.... V....

    I can think of a few :D

    P.... V....

    Absaloutly 100 percent

  55. A.... W....

    This song makes me want to make love to myself

  56. L.... D....

    Great cover from my favourite Queen album.

  57. m.... m....

    This would have been cool as a broken hidden track like physical and suck

  58. s.... ....

    Steamy n Sleek

  59. T.... M....

    Omg! Love this song

  60. n.... ....

    Don't let your mother hear you listening to this.

    n.... ....

    LOL I just had to turn down the volume because my dad was walking by haha

    n.... ....

    Yeah she might get horny.

    n.... ....

    My mom requested me to play this song 😂

    n.... ....

    Once she's used to you listening to the likes of Smells like shit ( alien sex fiend ), this is an easy sell.

  61. n.... ....

    No Freddy no Queen...

  62. N.... N....

    Love it, love Trent

  63. J.... F....

    ❤ you R.E.

    m.... b....

    eRiN lol this song is like the originals hotter and more sexually seductive cousin

    m.... b....

    @Another World Somewhere Else I love seductive cousins

  66. T.... M....

    the queen bit at the end though

    T.... M....

    Its a Queen cover so why not.

    T.... M....

    I KNEW I HEARD FREDDIE AT THE END

    T.... M....

    Long live the Queen.

  67. R.... F....

    C.... ....

    Pics or GTFO.

  71. B.... ....

    This was always my favorite Queen song.

    B.... ....

    My fave queenl and also my fave NIN song.

  72. q.... ....

    Love this version. It has also original Queen samples in it. Awesome!!!!

  73. O.... L....

    love the tiny bit of original riff at the very end

    O.... L....

    yeah very original one

  74. B.... M....

    TELL ME NOW!! YES!

  75. a.... k....

    ATTENTION. I need an opinion. Around 00:45 in this video there is a voice repeating "yes" while the woman moaning. I think i heard the same voice in Ministry - Stigmata video around 05:50. I think it might be a sample because dialogue at the beginning was added by Ministry frontman. I just wonder if it is possible. Sorry for my bad English, if there is something unclear i can try to explain again.

    a.... k....

    +A for Anyone It's the recorded moans of a Japanese porn star, while the "YES!" might just be Trent's voice added between It.

    a.... k....

    To me it sounds like the girl in Full Metal Jacket ('87) right before she exclaimes how horny she is to the GI's..."[Oh], me so horny!"

    a.... k....

    @***** A little late then ever, but you're correct.

    a.... k....

    It is indeed Al Jourgensen. He's credited on the song.

    a.... k....

    It comes from a porn film but I'm sorry I don't know the name. Trent listened to TV and cinemax a lot while creating music. Tracks on The Downward Spiral contain portions from the movie RobotJox where women are screaming

  76. L.... ....

    i remember when i first heard this song and i heard the woman moaning my eyes got so huge.
    😂😂
    i felt so like, wait hold on what.

  77. N.... t....

    The only cover of a Queen song ever recorded that actually surpasses the original. Reznor's voice just oozes raw animal sex on this.

    N.... t....

    I'm Sorry but ... no way. Never ever. :) The original already has something to do with "raw animal sex" and it's a quite dirty song. :D It's just that Nine Inch Nails version is more brutal and even more in your face than the original. It's cool ... but Freddie Mercury is the coolest cat of Rock'n'Roll ever.

    N.... t....

    Both versions are good but I prefer Queen's version. But Trent made this his own.

    N.... t....

    politely beg to differ. queen’s live of this at Montreal was like a bunch of Olympus Gods descending to the mortal plane to fuck everyone :)

    N.... t....

    @The Man Are you serious? Any musician growing up in the 70s/80s (or, really, anyone) would have known about Queen and listened to them (or at least would be familiar with their songs). And no doubt Trent was inspired by Freddie's sexiness and raunchiness - really the mood in all NIN songs reflects some of this "dark side" of Queen. Back in the day (1990), Trent likely wasn't saying "I am into industrial music, man. I don't listen to classic rock." He wasn't some teenager trying to find an identity by following one scene (industrial) vs. another, he was busy *defining* industrial (building on Throbbing Gristle, etc)! And clearly learned from and was inspired by the best music that existed up to then. If you want to be sexy and raunchy, you listen to Freddie.

    N.... t....

    I recomended to see Glenn Hughes cover of this song- amazing.

  78. D.... B....

    This is one of QUEEN's Most Underrated Songs... Hopefully you all realize this is Freddie Mercury's BEST!  Love this version but QUEEN STILL ROCKS IT THE BEST!

    D.... B....

    David Bailey the Queen version is good but it's Queens best song by far, the NIN cover is something special

    D.... B....

    Queen's version is like making in love with every cell of your body with such sweet strong passion,this version is like fucking someone after being unable to have sex for a long time.I think both versions are perfect,and each version represents another way to have sex.

    D.... B....

    I love the version Queen did on QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL; It's like an acid trip ( a good one ). One of my favorite tunes by Queen

    D.... B....

    @Another World Somewhere Else I enjoy NIN for their own stuff. Not covering anybody else

    D.... B....

    It's not a competition this is a tribute song considering Trent Reznor grew up listening to those songs most the kids in the 90's who listened to that song I doubt ever heard the Queen version considering their experience with Queen is the Mighty Ducks or the Highlander series. Sadly Freddie died before I really got into music and Grunge was in full swing so Queen just got kinda shoved to the back. I was in my late 20's before I fully appreciated Queen. Aside the catchy beat of we will rock you as a jock jam at a high school football game Wayne and Garth headbanging to them in Wayne's World and a few mentions by bands I was into as a teenager they were non existent.

  79. l.... ....

    Not a fan of all the Al Jourgensen samples, but this is a better structured and more powerful version of the Queen song

    l.... ....

    lednails I think Jourgensen’s samples make the song have more of a Ministry feel to it

  80. v.... c....

    full power

  81. R.... 7....

    Great #Queen cover. MrReznor. www.nin.com. ty

  82. R.... 7....

    www.nin.com

  83. B.... _....

    This track is one of Reznor's [ [  MANY ] ]  *UNDER-appreciated* masterpieces!!
    25 years later ... AND IT *STILL KICKS THE ASS* OF PRETTY MUCH *ANYTHING* ON THE RADIO *TODAY* ...

    B.... _....

    B_G _C dude I'm 22 and il say that 99% of people my age don't even know about music this brilliant God bless gen X

    B.... _....

    B_G _C I’m a first timer my self. b 1982. The beat was catchy but I thought the chorus lyrics where a little to hippyish for NIN and at times he sounded like Robert Palmer’s addicted to love. I didn’t hate it though. It was catchy.

    B.... _....

    Another World Somewhere Else thanks, we're also known as the heroin generation, the first generation to make less than our parents, the fuck-up generation... But we did have good music! ;)

    B.... _....

    haha its a cover!

    B.... _....

    am I the only one who knows this is a cover???

  84. S.... S....

    Thanks for posting this! I've not heard it in a long, long time.  I forgot how great it is!

  85. K.... L....

    The girl moaning makes me kinda uncomfortable but this cover fucking rocks! \m/ 

    K.... L....

    Why does it make you uncomfortable... if your gay than i understand

    K.... L....

    @Kevin Licon the voice at the begining asks " when was the first time you let a man make love to you ?"

    K.... L....

    @Kevin Licon Also that woman Moan was used by 2 live Crew in their music. it comes from the movie Full Metal Jacket, where the full scene , he asks how much for 10 dollars? when she says .. Well you'll just have to see it .

  86. H.... ....

    this is such an awsome song

  87. A.... P....

    One of my favorite NIN songs of ALL time!

    A.... P....

    Not Nin it's queens

    A.... P....

    It's a song of Queen, written by Freddie Mercury. Great song!! Love the NIN version as well.

    A.... P....

    guys it's a cover, that doesn't mean it's not a masterpiece, but you guys should listen to the original. It's pretty good too.

    A.... P....

    It's QUEEN'S :v

  88. H.... ....

    Why he didnt put this on Broken is beyond me... Its so good.

    H.... ....

    Probably because it's a cover and was recorded several years before "Broken". And, sure, there's an Adam Ant cover song on Broken, but it's a bonus track that wasn't included on the first CD printings of "Broken".

    H.... ....

    +Derke73 In a way It was, It was Included as a little bonus CD that you had to put Into a stereo player.
