Queer as Folk (UK) Theme Music

[PrescriptionDrMcCoy]

Love this song! I remember the first time I saw the US version on tv and was hooked! Bought all 5 seasons! I knew there was the UK version, but I never really bothered to look it up, but a couple weeks ago I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd just watch whatever was on tv. Then I saw Queer as Folk! I was like Sweet! But it wasn't the US one and I was just about to switch the channel and then Stuart Alan Jones walked on screen.......Now I'm hooked all over again! >,<

[carlitoss1979]

wow, this song brings so many good memories

[PhoenixxxStar]

When is the UK series on the new 2011 Queer as Folk series set to air in North America???

[preagle60657]

I spent...all night... chasing after some bloke that turns out to be mad... like really mad.... LOL.

[2deeley]

I fucking love Queer as Folk! Sod the US version, the UK one's better: it's funnier, smarter, and it's got more heart. Thank you Russell T Davies.

[pauledwards29uk]

i love this tune and was one of the greatest programms on tv. wish they re run it.

[welshdumbass]

Look it's Shia LaBeouf and Russell Howard lol

[AcreNaoExiste]

good trip

[melodydaymolk]

I love this song!!! QAF UK the best!!!!

[haruhistnumber5]

One listen, and I'm instantly 17 again, secretly watching this exciting liberation of a show while my family was asleep...on Tuesday nights if memory serves.

[90sfanforever]

This is one damb catchy theme song.

[pauledwards29uk]

this reminds me of good times on canal street. God i miss my beloved Manchester and canal street.

[preagle60657]

@PTPhoenixUK: I don't know...with all respect to Hal Sparks, I find the UK Vince to be more my type. ;)

[ImCookieandFreds]

nice

[justin10347]

@ Berus7777 it's true but y'alls theme song is great!!

[yettie0711]

The writer of this says he is doing a gay show about blokes in their 40's. Vince would be about that age now.......please let it be!

[adri041195]

Lmao it got cancelled after two seasons? Goes to show the US series is better! Ours had FIVE seasons! -3

[rainbowpride76]

@adri041195 Ummm.. No! As has previously been said, Channel Four commissioned two more series, but the writers decided to stop while they were still on top (so to speak), and ended it on a high. I love both the UK and US versions, personally, but we do have to remember that the US version is based originally on the UK version, so without it there would be no Brian, Mikey etc! It is a UK original series!

[xkadie999x]

@adri041195 Just because something is long running does not automatically make it better. The UK series didn't get cancelled. It was actually commissioned for another series however the writers choose to end it as they felt they'd told the story they wanted to tell and didn't want to drag it out for all it was worth.

[25fitguy]

@adri041195 we wer teh firsr,,,US followed, like with American idol, xfactor, Weakest link and every otehr show you have,...sad.

[adri041195]

Not as good US series? HA! Yeah right! The US series is way better! Hotter, too! Brian and Justin are fucking gods (especially Brian). And the acting is TONS better. -3 BRIAN AND JUSTIN!

[90sfanforever]

@adri041195 Wow downing on people because there opinions. Your nice (sarcasm).

[yanmarino1221]

Me encanta esta serie! la miraba todas las semanas!

[zerosurfer]

I absolutely love this song, can't get enough of it, thanks for uploading :)

[roblondonuk]

If anyone is interested...back in 1999 the Cast from QAF did a wonderful charity event for me. They were kind enough to do The Walk For Life for CRUSAID. I was the Celebrity Co-ordinator and I can assure you all...they are all very nice. Still keep in contact with them after all these years. Cool!

[justin10347]

Man I love this song so much were can I find it?

[bendaboi1]

@justin10347 itunes on the queer as folk album. hope that helps ;-) x

[bendaboi1]

@silverdraco35 it wasnt cancelled they were comissioned to do two more series but the creators thought it would be best to quit while they were ahead. they then decided to do a series on the lesbians but that didnt go ahead. it wouldnt work now anyways have you seen Charlie Humman recently (nathan) looks to straight to play a gay role now haha!

[NimrodrigoReloaded]

@bendaboi1 mmm i don't think so, for me he will be nathan maloney FOREVER haha =P

[silverdraco35]

Best show on TV pity it got canceled just after two seasons

[bendaboi1]

@TheDrexito @xkadie999x will you not bicker on my video :-p HAHA. The US season I think lacked the close the knuckle finger biting parts and taboo. Like proper sex scenes that would embarrass you in front of ur parents n also were British and bias (+ i live 20mins from Canal St - the set) lol The US just lacked a certain umph about it n the writer of UK version was asked to do more seasons but wanted to quit while a head and not draw it out to much. It was short and sweet and never gets boring.

[TheDrexito]

i love this song even tho i love the us theme better but i like the dialogue in it, tho i am not from uk , i love the uk accent

[MMBNWINNER]

This song gives me goosebumps everytime!!! This made the show!!

[kat2793]

One of the best programmes... ever! - I will never get bored of watching this.

[LottieHansis]

I LOVE this series. It was great watching it and seeing places like Canal Street. I live in a place where there are no gay bars and hardly anyone is open about their sexuality. I'm all alone, lol.

Amazing series. & i love this theme <3

[19cat72]

same guy that wrote last 5 dr who series

[YAOIFANGIRL0131]

it sounds hawaiin....it makes me think about hawaii for some reason....you know?

[letmeinokplease]

@YAOIFANGIRL0131 probably because of the steel pan being played!

[colinluzio]

Hated that bloke in the middle and hated him in The Wire as well

[TheRealGrimRainbow]

This show had great writing.

[forsk4u]

this is so good!

the brits did it first, but this must is sooo good!

[forsk4u]

we love this!!!!!!

Brits did it first, and so good

[fashfilmsuk]

i loved this show wow it over 10 yrs old lol brilliant series! Even though I am not gay I still loved the show

[xkadie999x]

love your description

"This then lead to the (not as good) US series!"

too right xx why do american networks always do that, take amazing british shows and make them as rubbish as possible just so they can have american actors and american culture in it. it's not even like we do it to their tv series, we watch the stuff they make xx

as i'm sure you can tell this is one of my pet hates but i will spare you the rest of the rant (and belive me there is a lot more of it) and post my comment =D

[fashfilmsuk]

@xkadie999x see above comment but my gay friends say I'm vince and I just laughed in a Vince style of comment so true and I got a date

[TheDrexito]

( not so good ) us version? and that is why we had 5 seasons and you guys only had two soo who's the not so good version?

[xkadie999x]

@TheDrexito well we in britian prefer QUALITY over quantity :P

[Dregel]

@xkadie999x Damn right. And I am swedish that love us shows so I am not biased. The uk version is far superior.

[Berus7777]

@xkadie999x OMG... you daft fool. Have you even watched the US version? It was FAR better than ours. I'll grant you that most things the yanks have done that were ours were shite, but their version of QAF just walked all over ours. Better plotine, better writing, better character development, better cinematography, hotter guys (WAY hotter), and just overall way, WAY cooler than our series. This is one time, if you're being realistic, you'll have to admit the Yanks did a better job.

[xkadie999x]

@Berus7777 Yes I was a bit of a daft fool at the time I wrote this comment. I still have to disagree I don't think the US version was better. I think they were two very different shows. The way America does TV is so drastically different to way the UK does it, it's a little unfair to compare them.

However I will give you better cinematography and hotter guys. Randy Harrison....there are no words. ;P

I think the US also had really good "Moments", like the king of Babylon and the prom.

[PTphoenixUK]

@Berus7777 I agree with xkadie999x. US version is more pleasant to the eye. But better written? If I wanted people to see what gay people are I would go with UK version all the way. The original Queer as folk was a portrait of real gay people. Us version was hollywood style, full of caracthers who we dream to be or to know, but never will. And I am yet to know a place where we could meet. And ironically UK series is based on a real place, US series is based in a place that doesnt exist.

[gayjay34]

o m g how much do i love queer as folk its the best gay show i have ever watched

[88888888BBBBBBBB]

I love Queer as Folk especially the theme tune at the end. I hope there make more of these.

[bendaboi1]

the only version that are available are where people have cut and rejoined the song and it doesn't sound right, this is how the song was released I'm afraid. I like Vince talking in it though! Thanks for watching!!

[DanielHibbs]

i adore this song. makes me proud to live from canal street!

[bendaboi1]

i am the same i love canal street!!

[bryanthompson1]

this theme is much better than that used for the US version

[JOEYnoJUSTU22]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! thanks for posting!!
