When I was 8 "1988", my dad and I used to watch VH1 on a regular basis, there was this song we used to sing it had something to do with a pink cadillac and hittin the big time. we can neither remember the name or who sang it. Anyone have any ideas?

Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love" (1985)

I'll add another possibility just in case -

Pink Cadillac

Artist:Natalie Cole

You may think I'm fooling
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well come on over here and hug me
And, baby, I'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
Cause baby I got plenty of that

I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac

Well now way back in the Bible, temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting you
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you man with silver and they tempt you sir with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
Man I ain't going for that

I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
PEELING out of sight
Spending all my money on a Saturday night
Honey, I just wonder what you do there in back of your pink Cadillac

Now some folks say it's too big and uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old and that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda, it's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing and one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it honey, we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink Cadillac

What year did that come out? ???

Hi Howard
I found this page that says it came out in 1988.

Thanks, so far those aren't the ones.. My dad says the video was animated I remember a little girl in a pink dress spinning and I think money was falling around her. I think the main point of the song was "Hittin the big Time" ;D

Peter Gabriel "Big Time"?
Though it's from 1987, but the video was animated.
