Lacan argues that when you make love, it's not about sex. Love revolves around the fact that the sexual relation does not exist; love is a veil that seeks to cover the structural gap that impedes the encounter.

Many songs often present this function that love has of supplementing the non-relation. Can a song convey what lies behind this?
There is a Queen track that aims to be direct regarding the sexual relation: "Get Down, Make Love." The lyrics include explicit references to the sexual act, but the essential moment arrives when the song suddenly breaks down, giving way to an interlude of over two minutes. May's guitar and Mercury's voice play together; distorted noises and moans intersect in an impossible encounter. It is the collapse of meaning, echoes of the irruption of a pleasure that cannot be tamed by the signifier.

The song breaks down into strident sound effects, where words are diluted into noise. This song is not a hymn to sex, but a musical testimony that there is no sexual harmony, that the attempt to "make love" stumbles, and what remains is a subject enjoying himself alone, screaming amid distortions, evoking a link that cannot be written.

"Get Down, Make Love" could be read as the subject's failed attempt to enter into the sexual relation through pure demand. But to the extent that jouissance does not respond to desire, but rather overwhelms it, what irrupts is the real of sex.

Something is not mediated through love or through words, but returns as a scream, as disorganised sound. It is not a song about a possible relation, but rather one that brings its impasse into play. We can think of this song as a kind of musical cipher for the sexual non-relation.
As a curious side note, during the dictatorship in Argentina, this song was banned and removed from the album News of the World. Queen was asked not to perform it at their 1981 concert, but the band refused to bow to the demands of the repressive regime.
