The song Drifter that is played in the beginning of the film during the short credit-sequence is by another Swedish indie-band called YVONNE. It's an almost eerie song that introduces us this eventually very sweet story, good contrast.
Some native English speakers have expressed discontent because Moodysson chose to use the song I Want To Know What Love Is by FOREIGNER during the kissing in the car, they say it's cheesy or something? Does the song sound silly to you guys?

And this was also too expensive, or was there some other problem, or did he just change his mind?

I'd be interested in hearing other people's ideas on what songs would work.
