Known for its very famous intro riff, Oh, Pretty Woman is a song by the American singer and songwriter Roy Orbison.

Originally released in 1964, the song managed to stay at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. It was written by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees.

One of the prime inspirations for the song was Orbison's wife, Claudette Frady. The record sold over seven million copies and marked the peak of Orbison's career.

Speaking about the song's composition, co-writer Bill Dees recalled:

"He [Orbison] turned to me with the guitar lick, and he said, 'I feel like I need to say something while they're playing [that guitar lick].' I said, 'Well, you're always saying [the word] mercy. Why don't you say mercy?' You know, I said, 'Every time you see a pretty girl you say mercy.'"

Oh, Pretty Woman was later used in the 1980 film Pretty Woman, which starred Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. It is considered one of the most influential songs of all time.
