"Unloveable" featured on "Queer as Folk"

During a scene when Debbie was talking to Brian about his relationship with Justin a Smiths song could be heard playing in the background. The song was "Unloveable" .This episode will be repeated on Tuesday February 12 at 11:00 P.M. on Showtime. This is the third time a Smiths song has been associated with "Queer as Folk". "How Soon Is Now?" was used in an episode and also used in a promo for the show.

jpoofter also writes: On February 10ths episode of "Queer As Folk," the Showtime original series based on the British version, there was a scene in which the main character Brian is sitting at one of the local gay bars in Pittsburgh talking to another female character with The Smiths' "Unloveable" playing in the background. The scene was actually quite humorous because Brian is considered the show's biggest sex addict and can't quite commit to a relationship with another character, leaving him quite alone and bitter. The song must have been picked ideally for his character's unloveable qualities.

    I LOVE that show.Very interesting, like a soap opera.So what if the plot revolves around gay people, makes it more interesting to those of us who are not gay.

        There was nothing like that on the original British show, which in any case was awful and had a laughable script. All they played on that was the typical tacky disco music that gay people are sadly associated with.

          Here in Canada, we're a little behind when it comes to this show. They just aired the above mentioned episode last night. The only problem was, all I was doing was listening to the song and I miss the whole bloody scene! Damn you Morrissey and your hypnotic voice! ;)
