Question
Okay, I heard this song in a commercial when I was younger and then I swear I heard an instrumental part of it just now in a car commercial. The lead singer has a gruff Iggy Pop like voice, and it even sounds like cheesey 80's Iggy, but it of course is not him by a long shot. I think I remember synthesizer.The only lyrics I can remember is "I don't want to wait (pause) for the.." and that's all and even that I'm not entirely sure of. It's one lead voice and then a backing harmony. it's uptempo, it's rock. Help me!

Answer
hey stephen king, i'd like to give this a shot. the first line of the song you hinted seem to fit with the grammy-winning artist Paula Cole with the song  "I Don't Wanna Wait".It became a number one pop single and a theme song for "Dawson's Creek" teen drama, which eventually made it a little overplayed according to many. i hope this was the one you were looking for....
