293的鼓 239站台

Roy Orbison的成名曲是1960的《Only the Lonely》，而首1964的《Oh, Pretty Women》才是他最炙人口的招牌歌，不得了告示牌百大的冠，唱片的售量超了7百，也成就了他歌唱生涯的最高峰。而憾的是，直到他世後的1991年，首歌才替他得了一座「最佳男歌手」的葛美。

首歌是Roy Orbison和他的歌搭Bill Dees共同作的。某天人在Orbison家想要出一些作品，Orbison的老婆Claudette走房，告想要上街去些西，Orbison即她需不需要一些？此Bill Dees忽然爆出了一句：『A pretty woman never needs any money』，句Orbison得到了感，口唱出了『Pretty woman walking down the street』，一後曲完成，始音作。

我一直首歌成功的地方是歌曲的前奏，也是在曲中一直重的那段旋律。但多老外不是，他喜的是歌所表的意境 --- 在街上看到漂亮的女人，然後自己想了一堆，最後眼看指望了，但女人忽然回向他走。或在男女感情中，似大喜的折，也是每人心中所渴望的吧！

Roy Orbison特有些的唱腔，是被多人所喜的。王Elvis Presley在某次接受被到：除了你自己以外，你哪一位是美最大的歌手？王毫不豫的回答：Roy Orbison。

此曲於1990被作同名影 ( 中：麻雀凰 ) 的主曲，影片由茱莉勃 ( Julia Roberts ) 和李察基 ( Richard Gere ) 主演，也曾一。







Pretty woman
Walkin' down the street
Pretty woman
The kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you

Mercy!

Pretty woman
Won't you pardon me?
Pretty woman
I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman
That you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me?

Wow!

Pretty woman
Stop awhile
Pretty woman
Talk a while
Pretty woman
Give your smile to me
Pretty woman
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman
Look my way
Pretty woman
Say you'll stay with me
'Cause I need you
I'll treat you right
Come with me, baby
Be mine tonight

Pretty woman
Don't walk on by
Pretty woman
Don't make me cry
Pretty woman
Don't walk away
Hey, O.K.
If that's the way it must be, O.K.
I guess I'll go on home
It's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait!
What do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me

Oh, oh, pretty woman!
