Roy Orbison - Oh! Pretty Woman (1964) - The Dukes Of Hazzard (March 27, 1981)
“Oh, Pretty Woman“ or simply “Pretty Woman“ is a song recorded by Roy Orbison, written by Orbison and Bill Dees.[3] It was released as a single in August 1964 on Monument Records and spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 from September 26, 1964, the second and final single by Orbison to top the US charts.[4] It was also Orbison’s third single to top the UK Singles Chart (for a total of three weeks).
The single version (in mono) and the LP version (in stereo on the Oribisongs LP) have slightly differing lyrics. The LP version with the intended lyric: “come with me baby“ was changed for the single to “come to me baby“ as the former was considered too risque. The record ultimately sold seven million copies and marked the high point in Orbison’s career. Within months of its release, in October 1964, the single was certified gold by the RIAA. At the year’s end, Billboard ranked it the number four song of 1964.
“Oh, Pretty Woman“ was later used for the title of the 1990 film Pretty Woman starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and the 2018 Broadway musical Pretty Woman: The Musical.
“Boss Hogg’s celebrity speed trap snagged another one,” narrates Waylon Jennings as Roy Orbison begins to play. He launches into “Oh, Pretty Woman” with Daisy Duke seated beside him.
The episode aired on March 27, 1981. Titled “The Great Hazzard Hijack,” it featured Orbison in the kind of guest appearance that became a regular fixture on the “Dukes on Hazzard
