pcicatar (Portland, OR)	Posted: Oct 08, 2012 - 09:40 I remember seeing this video for the first time and there was only one reason I went to go buy it the next day. Two words - Shirley Manson

I really think the world needs these guys to make a comeback right about now. Took a year and half but this is coming true.

Misterfixit (Nashville)	Posted: Jun 25, 2009 - 07:14 OCDHG wrote: That's what you get with a "prefab" band like this one. Blech. Like instant coffee, or pleather,... poor substitute for something real. Interesting how English changes with the times. "Queer" used to be a quite proper word to use in genteel society "Oh, yes, my dear, that fellow Professor Mesmer has some queer ideas". Or "Hey, ya mug! This is a queer deal! Don Corelone ain't gonna like dis ting! Ya gonna take the Big Sleep - this Queer ain't no good! The treasury seals are all wrong!" (cue sounds of Tommy Guns and brick walls). viz: unusual; conterfeit money, a bad or wrong thing, unorthodox. Well, hope you have a gay time today!

Droidac (4066 kms east of Paradise)	Posted: Oct 15, 2008 - 10:22 FYI, Shirley Manson is now part of the TV show "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles". She plays a rather evil character, and pulls it off quite well!

UltraNurd (Boston, MA)	Posted: Oct 22, 2007 - 17:28 Just snagged this album from my uncle, who managed to get two copies in his collection somehow.
Moonman1 (Massachusetts)	Posted: Sep 21, 2007 - 08:50 Yeah Shirley! Great song. Also good on this album- Milk. Crush off of the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack is another good one.
TJS (Denver)	Posted: Sep 21, 2007 - 08:39 Yes! More garbage please!!!!!

blades (NYC)	Posted: May 18, 2007 - 16:43 Not a bad tune on the entire album
Pyro (Between a rock and a hard place)	Posted: Jun 15, 2004 - 14:17 With a band name like "Garbage" and a song entitled "Queer", do you think these guys are trying to punch our buttons?
MTL_Robbie (Boulder, CO)	Posted: Mar 29, 2004 - 13:08 I just looooove all of their debut album, a few killer songs on their second, but let just say that I'm waiting for their next one... Love this one !
gandalfbmg (Parkville, MO)	Posted: Mar 17, 2004 - 06:45 Regardless of what you think of the song, this song is important for one reason... it brought Shirley Manson to the masses.
musicfreak (Chicago, IL)	Posted: Jun 19, 2003 - 11:34 I LOVE this song!! I remember when it came out, I used to CRAVE it on the radio! Oh, thanks for taking me back!
orpheus (baltimore)	Posted: Jan 27, 2003 - 16:03 :) ah yes '95, one of their best, interesting video as well

booda (Ann Arbor, MI)	Posted: Oct 17, 2002 - 11:48 Highly, highly overrated. The song, and the group.
loveslave (Uppsala)	Posted: Aug 17, 2002 - 02:26 I saw Garbage at the Roskilde festival in Denmark in June - and Shirley was just so out of it at the show. It was pretty fun to watch. She kept on raving about all sorts of things, started singing that annoying "nananana" Kylie Minogue song about three times, had to stop and start over on several songs. It was a great show, but I'm guessing the other members of the band were pretty pissed of at her afterwards.
Platypus (here, now)	Posted: Aug 06, 2002 - 20:58 i remember hearing this song for the first time when it came out (and learning that Butch Vig was in the band) and thinking that Garbage must be a great band... they have only disappointed me since. this one is great though.

MylenerHead (Somewhere In the South)	Posted: Jan 02, 2002 - 06:21 I like Garbage! Hmmm, I sound like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.....
