I agree, don’t like a movie glossing over a prostitute.

I don't know; but it doesn't seem likely that Roy Orbison had that intention when he wrote the song (1964). Movie used it as a pretext or "hook" in 1990.

I didn’t know that. I listened to a recording of it and I think you are right.

Problem is that I keep seeing the movie play in my head when I hear it.

Thank you for pointing that out.
