It would have fit in with the preamble to the written script by Moodysson quoting Morrissey and the link to the photo of him in Agnes' bedroom. The Smiths generally would have been Agnes type music of lonely misunderstood teen. Musically the song is not too invasive. Lyrically it encapsulates Elin's wreckless desire for adventure and passion: 'take me out tonight etc' but resounds in the second half with Agnes desperation 'And in the darkened underpass I thought oh God my chance has come at last, but a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask' from which a sample could have best been taken.

I actually used that song for a Bex/Bear's Kiss vid, ironically enough.

I made a gif, but it's well worth watching the vid for 15 seconds. https://www.instagram.com/p/yAGrpnw8zz/?tagged=klubb%C3%A5m%C3%A5l
The song being played is Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
It's like they knew we'd be discussing it three years into the future.
