Rep. Allen West channels Roy Orbison, sings 'Oh, Pretty Woman'

By Geneva Sands - 02/15/12 04:20 PM ET

Tea Party favorite Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) has joined the recent wave of singing politicians.

The conservative lawmaker was caught belting out Roy Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" last weekend in Washington, D.C., reported The Shark Tank, a website that covers Florida politics.

West, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, can be seen taking off his jacket and issuing a warning not to record his performance. He is soon seen snapping his finger to the beat and crooning the 1960s-era hit.

"This is so wrong. Anyone that records this I'm gonna drop you for push-ups," West can be heard saying in the video.
