"Make It wit Chu" is the third single byQueens of the Stone Age from their 2007 albumEra Vulgaris.
The song was originally a track onThe Desert SessionsVolumes 9 & 10, entitled "I Wanna Make It wit Chu" and withPJ Harvey on backing vocals;[2] it also appeared on the band's live DVDOver the Years and Through the Woods before being rerecorded for their fifth studio album.
"Make It wit Chu" was announced as the second German single in a newsletter from www.qotsa.de and that it would be released on three limited editions on September 28, 2007. It was also confirmed as the band's next international single as well.[3] According to a report by theNME theB-sides for the single would be the "White Wedding" cover, previously released as a bonus track forEra Vulgaris, and a recording of "Needles in the Camel's Eye" fromBrian Eno'sHere Come The Warm Jets.Bobby Gillespie is reported to have been involved in the latter according to an interview with the band onSuicideGirls.
At the2007 MTV Video Music Awards, Josh and Troy, along withCee Lo Green (on vocals) andDave Grohl (on drums), played the song in The Palms Casino Hotel, in one of the Fantasy Suites.[4] This song was #60 onRolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[5]
At the end of the song, a keyboard can be heard which starts at about 4:31. This is the same tune played during the chorus of the songEra Vulgaris, which was left off the album of the same name.[citation needed]
The song appears in the video gameGuitar Hero 5, the documentaryWarren Miller's Playground, and TV showBlindspot.
Directed by Rio Hackford, the official music video for the song surfaced in October and shows the band performing to a series of couples making out. The video was shot inJoshua Tree and also shows the legendaryRancho De La Luna, where theDesert Sessions are recorded.
The video begins with Homme driving toRancho De La Luna and the band setting up their musical instruments. They then start to perform the song. The video shows footage of the band performing along with shots of several couples making out and talking. The band appear to be performing for the couples.
In the music video, theguitar solo is also shorter than it is on the album.
