Sexual undertones ( Hey Pretty) Drive by Mix 2001

**JMACK172001** · 02-21-2002, 08:57 AM

Ok.... This song is super sexual. My mother listened to the song and "didn't get the gist of the song" (no pun intended). Is it just me or does this song really turn you on. I mean it is inticing.... I don't know. The hidden meaning behind it. Her exploration of the dark sexual parts in all of us. The Heart of Darkness. Our desire to do things no strings attached. Wow I love it.

yea, that remix blew my mind. if people can't figure out the sexuality of the song, well....drrr

**freakykittygoddess** · 04-09-2002, 03:20 PM

I love the drive re-mix. My dad heard it, and asked, "what is this crap?" Told him it wasn't crap. And yes, I have to agree about the song being very sexual. But great at that. Poe has an amazing voice, and I think with Mark's words in the song add an even more sexual touch.

It's also interesting how Poe and MZD repeatedly do things reminiscient of incest... I like how shocked people are when they hear that the other person in the song is actually Poe's brother. It's pretty brilliant.

I dunno if I would think of it as inssestus (is that how you spell that?) cuase it isn't like they are singing/talking to each other so much as with each other. like they are both trying to seduce the listener.

Yeah, I have to agree with Laura about them trying to seduce the listener on the drive re-mix. I don't believe that it is incestus, but the fact they think alike. Almost too alike, but not thinking incest. They are great people, in which they both express themselves, especially Poe. Check out her site if you haven't. The biography is really really interesting.

They had a bit of an issue when they first decided to record it. I wish I had a transcript of the interview where they talked about it. Basically they were like OK, for a brother and sister to do this, that's kinda...so they called some of Mark's actor friends and they were like call my agent. Poe's like no, we need this now, it took 30 minutes, and Mark's attitude to the actors is like oh right you're working in a restaurant and haven't done anything for a month. So they went ahead and recorded it and sent it out. Then, of course the song is a hit...too bad! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Related to that, different interview - Mark's a national bestseller, nobody calls. He becomes a rock star, one ex-girlfriend calls him. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

It's not insetuous in the least!!!

Just listen to track 18, again, and read the footnote in HoL...

MZD is obviously acting as Johnny, and Poe is singing as Kyrie....

it all makes sense...they must've had fun making the album too...^_^

**The Surrealist** · 05-21-2002, 08:21 PM

Really, it is not an issue of incest at all. If you didn't know they were brother and sister, you wouldn't have even thought of that. But I gotta say, that is one great song! It is sexual, but not in a dirty. It is steamy, my heart races evey time I hear that line - "...the longest unzipping of my life..." It is raw, I love it!

**Agrimorfee** · 05-22-2002, 09:10 AM

This song does not affect me as much as "Angry Johnny" with that lovely double entendre, "I'm going to blow you...away!" [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

**abigale** · 10-27-2004, 07:44 PM

I played this the other day when I was driving around the east side of the island with my current crush. Just for the very reason that its such a hot song

I hope he gets the gist of the song lol

I also agree - They are focusing on the listener - It's really a great mix and Poe & MZD work so well together...

As a side note on the Lounge-A-Palooza album I think the Poe track 'A Rose is a Rose' was written/co-written by MZD

HI!

I know it doesn't concern exactly the topic but I was wondering about the "Das-nicht-zu-Hause-sein" at the end of the song...
I've got one version with it and one without it....but who says it? Poe? I don't think so....does anybody know this?

Thank you

[...and sorry for language mistakes....]

Was ist das für eine Version? Auf der CD sagt es niemand. :?
Ich bin mir also nicht ganz sicher, aber siehe trotzdem hier, und willkommen an Bord!

Hast du auch schon das Buch gelesen? Dann soltest du dir die Useful Threads mal anschauen.

Viel Spaß.

**Lacal** · 02-02-2005, 10:04 AM

Hi!

Ja auf der CD ist es nicht drauf, die Version, die ich meine läuft als Radio Version...hier ist der Ausschnitt, den ich meine:
http://www.listapoe.de/HeyPretty.mp3
Bin großer Poe-Fan und bin so auch auf das Buch gestoßen

Bin gerade etwa bei Seite 380 und bin ihm total verfallen...da es ja jedoch leider keine deutsche Übersetzung gibt, fallen mir manche Passagen doch sehr schwer( wie man wohl leicht bemerkt hat spreche ich nicht unbedingt sehr gut Englisch) , da ist das Forum doch echt hilfreich und dass ich jetzt jemanden gefunden habe der Deutsch spricht und das Buch gelesen hat finde ich einfach super! Danke auch für den Thread-Tipp ...
Vielen Dank
Lacal

**fearful_syzygy** · 02-03-2005, 10:18 AM

Gern geschehen.

Falls du weitere Schwierigkeiten hast, kannst du mir vielleicht einfach eine PM schicken.

However, I think we should probably try and speak English or else some of the natives might begin to get restless.

As I suspected the "Nicht-zu-Hause-sein" is indeed the same one as on Exploration #4. I'm not sure who actually says it, although I reckon it's most likely either Anna Barthelme or the improbably named Olga Sadistakova.

**Lacal** · 02-03-2005, 10:50 AM

Thanks!
Okay so I´ll try to write English...I hope you can understand me ...
I'm sure my teacher will be happy

**P E L A F I N A** · 02-23-2005, 09:51 AM

even if a person never read the book they would still enjoy it.

my friend loves the song but doesn't want to read it because of the shape i'm in after reading the book... haha

**Ellimist** · 02-23-2005, 05:08 PM

welcome to the forums...

what happened to you?

you may want to answer that... here.

**empress orchid** · 04-10-2005, 11:21 PM

Where we pumped her vehicle in and out of turns. fast, slow, fast, fast, slow. some times a wide turn other times a quick one.

I LOVE that!

**malvo4** · 06-02-2005, 07:23 PM

of course it is sexual it is from teh book! when Johnny goes has sex with the german woman with the tight leather pants and with the psycho boyfriend. i know it is in the book but at the moment i am to lazy to look up the page number again.

googiebear · 06-30-2005, 03:10 PM

I totally agree. This song is entirely erotic. I think it is a beautiful study into the dark topic sex can be if we let it. I can't help thinking of past memories in my life when I hear this song. It is also a very cathartic experience. I love the song for reasons too numerous to name, but its dark nature and mystifying aura are just simply genious.

**Mad Alice** · 07-01-2005, 08:24 AM

i agree....
this song is pure sex...even without Mark's narration.
my husband finds the song totally hot without ever having read the book.
no matter what my mood this song makes me feel like a vixen.

**po-m** · 07-09-2005, 02:28 PM

I find it interesting, the difference between theoriginal "Hey Pretty" and the "drive remix". The original is more geared toward lyricism and doesn't really describe anything sexual. The remix is mostly MZD reciting from the "Kyrie" passage of house. To me, this version is much more erotic than the first.
The style of each song also lends them to being categorized as sex music. I have been recently enthralled with sex music lately and what it is about the songs that trigger eroticism in people. For instance, NIN "I wanna' F@#$ you like an animal" is very obviously sex music. (Listen to the words!) But the music itself is very passionate. Also Canada's The Tea Party writes sex music very well, esp. on their "Trip Tych" album. The band Muse also has a driving sexual theme.

(sex music is a euphemism I use to relate all these artists, regardless of genre, not an actual term) =P~

You're talking about Hysteria, aren't you?

That would be the one. But I'm not just talking lyrics here. The music itself has a full, hard repetitive tone that causes people to want to thrash instinctively. (Or perhaps my group of friends are closet S&M fiends) 8)

**fearful_syzygy** · 07-10-2005, 10:22 PM

Have you heard 'Drive' by Melissa Ferrick?

**po-m** · 07-11-2005, 12:21 PM

Nope. Is she an American artist? I tend to listen to a lot of underground stuff.
