Danny Saber's remix was then used on "Garbage Video"""The Screens Are Full of Garbage", "Melody Maker", issue dated December 7, 1996" (Retrieved - 2008-02-05] , while an additional "Queer" remix from Rabbit in the Moon ("Heftybag mix") was released in 1997 on the "Queer Remixes" 12" in the U.K.citeweb | url=http://www.garbage-discography.co.uk/queer_discography.php | title="Garbage: "Queer" discography" | publisher=Garbage-discography.co.uk | accessdate=2008-07-24] In 2007, the Heftybag mix was remastered and included on the "Absolute Garbage" bonus disc "Garbage Mixes".

Live performances

"Queer" was first performed live at Garbage's first gig in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 5 November 1995. For the 1996 tour the song was remixed for live concerts and that version was performed throughout the 'Garbage' and 'Version 2.0' tours.

"Queer" was not played during the 'beautifulgarbage' tour, but Shirley performed a verse and a chorus of the song a cappella at some concerts.

On the 'Bleed Like Me' tour, "Queer" was re-introduced to the set as the show opener, to the delight of most Garbage fans. The version they band played on the tour was closer to the album version than the version they had played since 1996.

On some live performances Shirley introduced this song by either dedicating the song to the crowd at the show, or by saying "A's queer 'cept thee and me and sometimes even thee's queer, but most of the time, I'm completely bonkers!"

"Queer" had also been performed live on UK music show "Top Of The Pops".

Queer quote, unquote

Butch Vig: "With "Queer", I was reading this novel about this woman who was hired to go and make this guy's son "a man". The kid is missing a few marbles. But then he realises that the woman who came to his room is also fucking his father."
