Pink Cadillac

Ride in style with Bruce Springsteen's fun, suggestive 1984 rock and roll track, "Pink Cadillac"! Originally a hit B-side, this song cruises with rockabilly energy, clever metaphors, and Springsteen's signature storytelling charm, becoming a beloved fan favorite and live staple.

Released as the popular B-side to "Dancing in the Dark" in 1984 and originating from the Born in the U.S.A. sessions, "Pink Cadillac" showcased Springsteen's playful side. Its infectious rock and roll rhythm, infused with rockabilly flair, provided the perfect vehicle for witty, double-entendre-filled lyrics.

This classic 1984 rock track uses automotive imagery as a clever extended metaphor. Springsteen's energetic vocal delivery and the E Street Band's tight performance make "Pink Cadillac" an enduring example of fun, smart rock and roll from his massively successful mid-80s period.

SONG MEANING: The song famously employs the "Pink Cadillac" as an extended, blatant metaphor for female anatomy and sexuality. Lyrics comparing love interests to cars ("My love is bigger than a Honda...") and detailing the car's desirable features ("a hubcap diamond star halo") are filled with suggestive double entendres celebrating sexual pleasure.
