 Springsteen's version of "Pink Cadillac" is often compared to the "Peter Gunn" theme by Henry Mancini, which it resembles in its main riff and saxophone break.In 2006, Bruce Springsteen appeared on a recording of "Pink Cadillac" by Jerry Lee Lewis on his album "Last Man Standing".Performing the song live, Springsteen explained the song as being "about the conflict between worldly things and spiritual health, between desires of the flesh and spiritual ecstasy," in a long tongue-in-cheek spoken introduction.
