 " Queer " is a song written and produced by alternative rock band Garbage for the band 's self @-@ titled debut album . The song started as a demo during sessions between band members Butch Vig , Duke Erikson and Steve Marker , and had its composition finished after singer Shirley Manson joined the band . Manson rewrote the sexualized lyrics to be more ambiguous , and rearranged the song into a subdued trip hop and rock crossover structure .
