Ticky Tacky...
New York, NY - little ukraine - Thursday, April 13th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
can't help but think of that old folk song every time i'm in this library.
in case you're not familiar with it..
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same
And there's doctors and lawyers
And business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

My mom always sang that song when we drove past those condominium complexes along the turnpike. Thanks for reminding me of a nice memory :)

I knew this song! My son heard while watching Weeds" and thought it was written for the TV show. I told him it was an existing song - now I'm curious about the artist and the date. Anybody know??

joey: HEY. that song was written about daly city, ca

Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds
last verse-
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.
