Beautiful Tropical Fish Rashida Jones Releases Song With Daniel Ahearn

Listen to two versions of 'Wanted To Be Loved' here

When you're born to Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, it's not particularly hard to believe you might be immensely talented, too.

Rashida Jones, of The Office, Parks And Recreation and a slew of other Hollywood movies, has released a song with Daniel Ahearn off the upcoming documentary, Hot Girls Wanted, an in-depth look at the harsh truths of the "amateur" porn industry that so many 18- and 19-year-old girls are venturing into.

Though Jones boasts the producer title of the documentary and Ahearn the composer, the two have collaborated on two iterations of the track called Wanted To Be Loved — one is the atmospheric, ethereal original cut, while the other is a stripped back acoustic version.

Jones' gorgeous voice aside, she has been outspoken in the past about pornography, having penned a paper called Why Is Everyone Getting Naked? for Glamour Magazine on the pornification of pop culture.

Check out the two tracks below, premiered on The AV Club, the first being the original version and the second being the acoustic version, because Leslie Knope was right — Rashida Jones is a beautiful tropical fish.
