The horrific title and r&b/soul/rap influence of the soundtrack begs the question: JUST WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS "FILMLET" ABOUT?

Seems like nowadays Marr wouldn't mind associating his name with anything musically since his own carrer has been in the shadows compared to Morrissey.

Hmmmm...I don't know about the film or the people behind it (the title, in case anyone didn't recognize it, is a reference to "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia", which was directed by "Wild Bunch" auteur du violencia Sam Peckinpah.)
However, I would disagree with the assertion that Johnny Marr cannot be associated with rap....listen to a few of the tracks on Electronic's eponymous debut, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Maybe you don't like them, but it's clear that Bernard Sumner is *trying* to rap....

I think the original source for the title--if there even is one--is "Bring me the head of John the Baptist." Which, of course, was used in Oscar Wilde's retelling of the story of Salome.

I'd like to respond to particleman's comment: "What is wrong with people who listen to soul/rap/r&b.... They really urk me" -- Don't be so judgemental, I'm very sure there are people out there flaming us everyday. They probably tell themselves, "those smiths fans really irk me (yeah, they probably know how to spell irk), associating our kind of music with Johnny Marr?? ahhhhh!!" well, I wouldn't want that happening, would you?
