Pink Houses
"Pink Houses" is a song written and sung by John Mellencamp. It was released on the 1983 album ''Uh-Huh'' on Riva Records. It reached #8 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in early 1984. "Pink Houses" was ranked #439 on ''Rolling Stone'' magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
==Origins==
Recorded in a farmhouse in Brownstown, Indiana, the song was inspired when Mellencamp was driving along an overpass on the way home to Bloomington, Indiana from the Indianapolis airport. There was an old black man sitting outside his little pink shotgun house with his cat in his arms, completely unperturbed by the traffic speeding along the highway in his front yard. "He waved, and I waved back," Mellencamp said in an interview with ''Rolling Stone''. "That's how 'Pink Houses' started."〔(Pink Houses: John Mellencamp : Rolling Stone )〕〔(Classic Tracks: John Cougar Mellencamp's “Pink Houses” )〕
Mellencamp has stated many times since the release of "Pink Houses" that he's unhappy with the song's final verse. At an October 2014 press conference, he stated: "A long time ago, I wrote a song called 'Pink Houses.' Now when I hear that song, all I can think is: 'Why didn't I do a better job on the last verse?' If I had written it today, the last verse would've had more meaning."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Mellencamp art exhibit set to open in DeLand )〕
