@TheDashingRor haha tom waits never did something anyone else has done before ;) He's a Music-Rebel. That's one of his 7 Awesomenesses. And yeah that'd be the 8th awesomeness.
@Liemann obviously this is the only thing youve listened to by randy. But I can understand some people dont dig him. I do though I think hes awesome, u should youtube some other songs. It's kind of his thing to sing like hes a little slow. :)
@Jeffery102086 I do acknowledge the man is very successful and all, but he's just not my cup of coffee.. I will leave it at that, no need to bash the man or anything ;)
i couldnt imagine another person singing his stuff. it would ruin it for me. His voice makes me feel like hes a human being. A guy. Not a famous artist or someone who thinks they are better but if you didnt know him. Youd be friend him like anyone else. I dunno but he just has the feel that you either like it or dont and i love it
well, kinda, its about an ordinary single mother , who starts dealing weed in her neighbourhood. in the beginning i thought it was quite okay, but in my opnion they are overreacting the drugs part of it, in the later seasons. i mean, even cocaine comes to play a part. weed is not a killer and so its funny, but cocaine is just not as funny as weed is. so in my opnion. it gets a little to hard with all the drugs. i lost interest.. but the theme song still kicks ass!!
I really respect the fact that people took the time to put up so many different versions of this song. I think it is a testament to the great people who upload on Youtube.
It appears as if the Malvina Reynolds version was removed. Give me a few days to inquire about reposting it. (Or try seaching for Malvina Reynolds and Weeds in the interim.)
Ticky tacky or ticky-tacky is a colloquial term for "shoddy [poor quality] material, as for the construction of standardized housing".[1][2]
In other words, it is better to be a pothead and parasite off the people going to university as referenced in the song. The only problem with that is eventually the "university" people get pissed off and kick the parasites asses.

Little potheads on the hillside, Little potheads smokin bong hits, Little p-heads, little p-heads, screwin USA, just the same. There's a green one and a red one And a commie one and a lib one And they're all made out of burnt out brains And all look just as lame And the people in the houses All ran to, welfare office, they were put in head shops, And they came out in no pain There's a homeless and a dipshit momma boy livin at home, And they're all made of wacky tabacky and suck just the same.
Could somebody explain me what he wants to say with:Little boxes made of tickytacky. What tickytacky means. I mean, here in Brazil it means the noise of the clock. But in the lyrics, what it means?
For the record for most of you. Malvina Reynolds was the one who first sang this song in i believe 64 and it was in response to the growing suburbs and lack of individuality hence the term ticky tacky. In the late 40's 50's and early 60's Folk music was very popular most of all when it talked about social or political ideas. This is a classic 60's song.

For the record for most of you. Malvina Reynolds was the one who first sang this song in i believe 64 and it was in response to the growing suburbs and lack of individuality hence the term ticky tacky. In the late 40's 50's and early 60's Folk music was very popular most of all when it talked about social or political ideas. This is a classic 60's song.
