I'm looking for an artist/title of a song that I have very little info
about.  Here's what I know (I haven't actually heard this song, I'm
going from someone else's description):
- falls somewhere in the pop/rock/alt genre
- popular enough to be played on the radio approx 2 years ago
- primary lyrics are male, spoken word poem of some sort
- poem has something to do with driving a fast car, but is an obvious
metaphor for sex
- female chorus
As you can imagine, this was difficult to search for using traditional
methods!  Thanks...

Hello,

The song I believe you are referring to is "Hey Pretty" by Poe. She's
a beautiful alternative rock star whose beautiful voice is matched
only by her beautiful face. The remix in particular that you're
referring to included a short poem/voice narration by her brother Mark
Danielewski. It's called the Drive-By 2001 Mix, and can be bought at
the link below. I've also included a link to the lyrics so you can
follow along with the voice narration and the sweet sweet chrous. If
you thought the song was sexy, you should try looking for a copy of
the video, it has her, on a cherry red convertible just being er...
sexy. You can get a preview of the original song (with the same chorus
sans the spoken word from her brother) from the link below. Two last
treats is an interview with Poe about the at mtv's website (link
below) and an actual excerpt of the video at the last link.
