Ao longo da sua carreira, John Mellencamp teve de lutar bastante para ser reconhecido enquanto artista. Mellencamp começa a sua carreira no final dos anos 70, com fortes influências de Bruce Springsteen, e sob o nome de Johnny Cougar. Com o decorrer dos anos, a sua música torna-se mais distintiva, desenvolvendo-se como uma mistura de hard-rock e folk-rock. Esta evolução coincide com o crescimento da sua popularidade

The song “Pink Houses” by John “Cougar” Mellencamp was written in 1983, reached No. 8 on Billboard charts, and remains a rock radio staple to this day. It is recommended for beginner to intermediate guitar players. The song only uses a few basic chords, and has a pretty main riff, based off of the G and Cadd9 chords.

And there’s a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin’ up the evening slop C And he looks at her and says “hey darling G I can remember when you could stop a clock”
