"Pink Cadillac" never made it onto an album: Bruce Springsteen tucked it onto the flip side of "Dancing in the Dark" in 1984, and radio stations all over the world turned the single over and played it anyway. Springsteen handles guitar and lead vocal, with Garry Tallent on bass, Max Weinberg on drums and Clarence Clemons blowing saxophone.

Four producers share the credit, Springsteen himself alongside Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin and Little Steven, while Toby Scott recorded it and Bob Clearmountain did the mix. Onstage it grew into a highlight of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour, the leftover that flatly refused to stay left over.
