'Pink Cadillac' did not appear on any album until 1998 when it was included on Tracks, a collection of Springsteen outtakes. The song was first released in 1984 as the B-Side of "Dancing In The Dark." Many Springsteen songs make references to cars. This is his second song with "Cadillac" in the title; the first was "Cadillac Ranch." Natalie Cole's cover was a #5 hit in 1988. Springsteen put this together after most of the crew had left the recording session. He started strumming the riff on an acoustic guitar, put down the basic track, and recorded it with the band in the morning. In 2001, AOL would not let users quote this in a Springsteen discussion group because they felt the lyrics were too suggestive. One of the offending lines was "My love is bigger than a Honda, yeah it's bigger than a Subaru." The line is actually a reference to Buddy Holly's "Fade Away" (recorded by The Rolling Stones as "Not Fade Away") which has a line that goes: "And my love is bigger than a Cadillac/I'll try to show it if you drive me back." http://www.answers.com/topic/pink-cadillac-song Nov 27 06, 9:24 PM
