The first time I heard this we were driving to Houston for some reason. As soon as the opening drums and guitar intro started, I knew it'd be a major hit. Think back on your favorite songs and most have a unique intro and I can't think of one more distinct than Roy's. I remember listening to Casey Kasem's Top 40 weekly countdown and anticipating that Pretty Woman would reach number one that week - and it did to no one's surprise.
