Boy crazy, girl crazy, or somewhere in between, the Pittsburgh inhabitants of Showtime's eyebrow-raising Queer as Folk series all meet on middle ground: the dance floor. This relentlessly upbeat soundtrack of flavor-of-the-month dance-club anthems and campy synth-pop is confectionary fun that never loses its wits. Katty B.'s remake of the Footloose classic "Let's Hear It for the Boy" is a hoot, as is a cover of Divine's 1984 single "You Think You're a Man," which devolves into a naughty call-and-response of "boy" and "toy" that would make Madonna's early years seem tame. The good mood continues with Alcazar's frenzied "Crying at the Discotheque," which contains the intriguing couplet "The golden ties, the silver years / You wore a tie like Richard Gere." Add Kristine W.'s undeniable dance hit "Lovin' You," the Cher-like Heather Smalls's "Proud," and Mint Royale's Abba-kissed "Shake Me," and a taste of nostalgia kicks in. That said, the album knows when to quit; thankfully, there are no clichéd Gloria Gaynor or Donna Summer remixes to be found, just a batch of friendly, sexy tracks that perfectly complement the show's revved-up characters. --Kristy Martin

Customer Reviews

THIS SHOW IS A "MUST" SEE
With every episode, you just dont want to stop, high drama and sometimes a little shy with the charactors making love or intimate encounters, casual or extreme. But reality sometimes is hard to watch, depending on your shyness. This show makes you laugh and cry to extremes. I felt like when I was watching the last season, I was losing a family I will never see again. I miss this show very much. There has never been a show with such love for the actors and the way they brought past experiences remembered in my own life. I miss you, everyone who made this show possible.
p.s. the music is this show, I own all the soundtracks also...awesome

Listen to the Queer Beat
The First Season Soundtrack of Queer As Folk....

...starts of with the catchy "Spunk" by Greek Buck (it also ends with this song which sort of strikes me as a pointless waste of space). Anyways it goes on to feature such great songs as "Proud" by Heather Small which is really one of my favorite songs on the compilation. As other mention frequently, it really is a gay anthem.
Kristine W.'s "Lovin' You" will get anyone in a loving mood, with its beat, beating its way to your heart.
Many people complain that the soundtracks complain non-disco tunes. Well, to them I say: Why shouldn't they? There are some great non-disco songs on here that I really enjoyed in the show. Jay Jay Johnson's "Suffering" is a great song to listen to. It really makes me remember the dramatic moments in the show. That one along with Touch and Go's "Straight to Number One".
Back to the disco tunes however, who can ever forget "Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Katty B. and "High School Confidential" by Carole Pope. Those two songs should bring an image of out-and-proud Justin for any Queer As Folk Fan. I can never forget that scene when Justin tore off his shirt (he did that to both these songs didn't he? hehe) and showed Brian (to Let's Hear it for the Boy).
My Favorite fast-paced gay "thumpa-thumpa" tracks on this compilation are "Start Rockin'" by Antiloop, and B.U.'s "Summerfire"
The reason I gave this great soundtrack only 4 stars is because there should have been more. Queer As Folk has probably the best soundtrack in the history of television. There are so many songs that are hard to find. How can they give us only 14 songs? I really feel there should have been 2 discs in this set with at least 30 songs. I mean, the UK soundtrack offers nearly 40 songs and it lasted only 10 episodes.
Anyway, that is my perspective of this soundtrack. The bottom line is, if you enjoy Queer As Folk, you WILL enjoy this.

QUESTION-SONG-HELP
remember the episdoe where emmett's online sex psuedo screen name comes to life? It was episdoe 10 or 9 or so.
Well after he has sex with that online sex guy after his screenname asked for the address to screw him, remember how emmett walks into babylon and his shirt is open and he's not smiling but all yeah i got laid look?
The song playing is a 70's song called somewhere like, if you really want me let me know.
Can someone please tell me who sings the song? Because the version i have is extremely crappy (and doesn't say anything cept 70's-if you really want me) and i'm wondering now if the techno version-where instead of instrutments you have guys singing na na na na na...- is under the title somewhere like, if you really want me let me know (techno version)
thanks to whoever tries to think really hard for an answer! XD
