Pink Houses

by John Mellencamp

There's a black man with a black cat
Living in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate running' through his front yard
You know, he thinks, he's got it so good

I remember the MTV contest held back when this song came out. Whoever won got a party with Mellencamp and 100 of their friends. They also won a house and every painted the mother pink! - Mellencamp's words. great memories!
Ain't that America the home of the free? Little pink houses for you & me?? Great childhood memories!! ❌❤❌❤

I found it quite amusing when after 9-11 they started playing this song on the radio continuously . That is, until they realized how cynical the words are. They played it just because it had America in it.
Yeah Sarah, so did I!! Sure does bring back those sweet memories though!
I absolutely love this song because it brings back memories since I once lived in a Pink House - Hahaha : )
