Ticky tacky or ticky-tacky is a colloquial term for "shoddy [poor quality] material, as for the construction of standardized housing, according to the dictionary.
the song by Malvina Reynolds is ageless....don't we all like the groupie thing? The song is a sad commentary on how living life like your peers is not what individualism is all about. Ticky tacky sticks us to the group. We need more people living as individuals. Show the world individuals are something!
for some reason the point of this song makes me really sad

I'm told that this song was written about the rise of California suburbs. Looking around Cali, I won't dispute it.

good job on the video
(and thanks for also posting the lyrics--but I did note that you appear to have green & pink reversed in their order from the way Malvina sings it)
