English term

make music together

Non-PRO English Art/Literary
Michael Parkinson:
I was just actually wondering about this relationship, this "frisson" between you and Russell Crowe. Was there a frisson?
Dame Edna Everage:
There was a little bit. We make a music together, Russell and I. I saw him years ago in a restaurant in Los Angles with little Meg Ryan and I thought, "I'll have what she's having".

Earlier she said Russell Crowe was the only present she wanted for Christmas.

we have chemistry

there is a spark between us
I imagine it's a feeling, perhaps even one-sided, as I find it hard to imagine burly Aussie Russell Crowe being intimate with Dame Edna, after all he just got married, didn't he ? ;-)
It's maybe the spark brought on by opposites being together.

in harmony
Peer comment(s):

agree IanW (X) : Yes, she even claimed that Russell's parents sent him to her as a child and asked her to "teach him everything" she knew. I think we can safely take all of this with a pinch of salt - or a sack of salt, even!

we scale the heights of passion

...in a more literary turn of phrase. This is a stereotypical bad pickup line: "Let me take you home, my sweet - we could make beautiful music together!" Edna's definitely boasting about her imaginary sexual liaison with RC.

Don't forget the double entendre inherent in the quote from "When Harry Met Sally", where Meg Ryan's character loudly faked an orgasm at a restaurant. The camera panned around to the shocked faces of the other diners, and an older lady (director Rob Reiner's mother, in fact), said to the waitress, "I'll have what SHE's having."

BTW, it should obviously either be \"we make music\" or \"we made music\", not \"we make A music\" - spoken, she might have hesitated: \"we make, er, MUSIC...\"
