Roy Orbison vs. Van Halen



Oh Pretty Woman
Roy Orbison
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
You look lovely
As can be
Are you lonely
Just like me

Grrrrrrrrrrrl

Pretty woman
Stop awhile
Pretty woman
Talk awhile
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
Okay
If that's the way it must be
Okay
I guess I'll go on home
It's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait
What do I see
Is she walkin’ back to me
Yeah
She's walkin’ back to me
Oh
Oh
Pretty woman



Oh Pretty Woman
Van Halen
Pretty woman
Walkin’ down the street
Pretty woman
The kind I like to meet
Pretty woman
I don't believe you
It mustn’t be true
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
Oh you look lovely
As can be
Are you lonely
Just like me

Grrrrrrrrrrrl

Pretty woman
Stop awhile
Pretty woman
Talk awhile
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
Need you tonight

Pretty woman
Don't walk on by
Pretty woman
Don't make me cry
Pretty woman
Don't walk away
Hey
Okay
If that's the way it must be
Okay
I guess I'll go on home
It's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait
What do I see
She’s walkin’ back to me
Whoa
Whoa
Pretty woman

  2. You're kidding with this right? The Van Halen version - What the heck was that awful noise and incredibly weird video...No, no, no dear man - terrible stuff. Tiny Tim would have done a better cover of this song...

    Nice try but best version - um, Roy Orbison (duh).

  5. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! My memory of their version is a lot better than the reality of it.

  6. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I was thinking that it was actually David Lee Roth who came out with it as a solo artist after he left Van Halen, but in any event, it is not nearly as good as I remembered it being.

  7. Shooting Van Halen might be worth trying...

  8. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!! I have never been all that big of a Van Halen fan, but I have really enjoyed some of their music. Nonetheless, all who signed-off on that video should be shot.
