Hey Pretty

"Hey Pretty" was the name of a critically noted song by singer/songwriter Poe. The song in its original version, on her 2000 album Haunted, was a sultry pop rant of a woman seeking sexual satisfaction on any grounds possible. It was remade by having her vocals eliminated and replaced with a reading by her brother, author Mark Z. Danielewski, from his hit book House of Leaves. This new version became a huge radio hit. There are at least two different versions. One ending with the line "Dark Languages Rarely Survive" followed by a woman speaking in a foreign tongue. The second ending has that line followed by Poe coming back in with the chorus.
