Little Boxes

[brendasourus9]

Weeds

[DragonBeast66]

This I awesome :)

[DNA1056]

I'm happy to have one of the little boxes..........sure beats not having one

[gwarfanatik]

It seems most people on here are completely against gaining personal wealth. They should move to Laos.

[Enigma1ish101]

the book bliss sent me here:)



[radioactivebanana922]

oh the memories of geometry class. ;3;

[virgopiglet]

piss me off.. I grew up here. this is the song of my home town. I'm over 50, mixed culture, my child born in the same tract house mixed race, most of my friends non white/non anglo. this video makes it look like all were white, with BIG houses and had swimming pools??!! NOT it wasn't fun it was shit. the only thing you wanted to do was get away. away was anywhere with some sunshine! either that or get pregnant or dead. as many I loved did. Daly City. the Daly slaughterhouse sat behind my school

[Marcownz747]

@virgopiglet The song isn't meant to make it look like fun. It's meant to make it look like a monotonous hellhole... and no, not all the people are white in Suburbia. I lived there, too. There's one black family, one asian family, and one latino family... and the thousands of white families use these families as justification to call themselves culturally diverse.

[gwarfanatik]

@Marcownz747 I love how you attempt to generalize the ratio of ethnic minorities in suburbia, with your only justification of these claims being that "I lived there, too"

Ok.

[Marcownz747]

@gwarfanatik I love how you respond to hyperbole on the internet as though it were a statement in a textbook.

[gwarfanatik]

@Marcownz747 Love how you can't respond, and your hair Haha

[EricMassanero]

xurupitas farm kkkkk

[MrBentyWenty]

Maybe if you hippies got jobs you could afford a box as big as mine.

[tanman965]

Weed's :)

[FattyMcFatpantss]

My teacher let us listen to this song in like 6th or 7th grade (along with puff the magic dragon & Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds) I always felt like it was so nerdy and lame. But now I freakin' love it. :)

[luhne123]

I heared this song on Weeds :)

[platypusmessiah]

I like it when people come here, listen to this song and then get all defensive about the suburbs. Fun! If you like it there that's fine. I think it looks like shit. So does Pete.

[tiang18]

esta es la cancion de la cual Victor Jara le hizo una adaptacion chilena :D

busquenla por "las casitas del barrio alto"

[fireflyglows2]

Should be the theme song for Palo Alto, California!

[TheSchizMeister]

Lol Well first of all this song started during suburbanization in the 1950's after the great depression. The G.I. Bill allowed extra housing loans which were cheap, BUT they had to build a new house. This fueled the economy... problem housing segregation, houses all the same, people had to follow rules made them all the same, keeping up with the "jones's"... Interesting in some ways its the same nowday but maybe not?.. university isn't negative though but required to go? certainly not..

[leathermama]

such a wonderful and truthful song,very catchy little tune

[N4N3BR]

ninguem aq he br n?

[smilyboi10]

people dont like this song because its the truth an society has made them afraid of the truth, silly peoples,its an awesome song!

[dungal211]

Well all you guys are mean! If you don't like the song don't listen to it or comment! I thinks a funny song and actually has meaning maybe you should do YOUR research and stop hating cause your gonna be a mean old person one day and no one will love you cause your an ass!

[FullGuerreiman]

XURUPITA'S FARMS *------------------*

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

A little cognitive dissonance on Ol' Pete's part.

[OxyMiracle]

It's ironic there is now a million covers!

[joeza100]

WORST SONG EVER SOUNDS LIKE SHIT

[SuperBadadan]

@joeza100 fuck off

[joeza100]

@SuperBadadan Dont worry I will because of how bad this sounds

[lrd9999]

Thought of this while noticing the ugly plywood boxes between San Jose and San Francisco a while back; later I learned that it was written about Daley City, which is right in that area. Now, there are hipsters who crave those unpretentious "Twilight Zone" era houses. Reynolds couldn't have anticipated the stupid, vinyl-drenched mcmansion-wannabe tracts built today. Or some of brick-fronted "upscale homes" around Boston with quoin stones adjoining a generic siding clad wood wall. Sad.

[haraldschl]

Tacky little boxes. Something wrong with the way we live. So you see the extremely tacky way we live! Social engineers should go back to school and learn about beauty and philosophy. Oh our schools are idiot boxes too. We need another tsunami to wipe out this shit!

[Snowandrews]

A when it's over you get another little-box

(and those boxes DO really all very similar).

[hughends1]

yanks are so fuckinn thick - listen to the lyrics you tossers

[Icekit13]

@hughends1 Are you english?

[artistkeith3]

Some of the "little boxes" shown here are pretty darn big and unique. I think I'd take one of those over the tiny ranch I live in right now. I've always thought this song was about the cookie-cutter ranch-style houses that were built in the 50s, about 3 feet apart with hundreds crammed into one subdivision. Even so: think about 3rd world slums like Rio or Sao Paulo, those people would die to live in one of the U.S. "little boxes". A matter of perspective.

[Covellos1]

There's subdivison on Rickett Rd In Brighton Michigan. When I pass it I always think of this song.

[ENGLISHM0THERFUCKER]

I take he lives in an apartment :/

[Jillybells]

Check out my 2 yr old singing WEEDS intro "Little Boxes", and his other cute singing videos. They are quick and to the point. :) Thanks!

[Siska0Robert]

Americans, check out european cities for inspiration. Hamburg for example. Those cities are so much fun... This is just mindfuck!

[eliyaguy]

and biz ness exz ku thievs!

[erra404]

@ivictoriaify ticky-tacky is an invented word for something that is not high quality.

[happydude772]

Fuck this america

[tmgxinsaneex]

Yea it was good on weeds, that show is a whole different show now. After watching everything up to season 7 i just saw the pilot episode today. They fucked up the show pretty bad after the fire.

[slinkysmurfette]

I love this!!! Wish that Weeds would go back to singing the theme song b4 show starts! Ne who, did ne one happen to c the E for entertainment on the pink house? Funny. It's upstairs on the left window. Hah hah

[hjunior271]

XURUPITAS FARM

[Shakkori12]

WEEDS

[WizardOfStuff]

my cousin made me listen to this......all i had to say was: WTF

[StepRightUp1997]

My dad used to sing this to me when i was little <3 i

[Swede7777]

Whats wrong with playing golf, drinking martinis, and going to universities?

[sourpatchalex1]

@Swede7777 i think its just an expression to show how everyone does the same thing and come out the the same way. just like a cycle with their children and their children.

[norfolk611]

I like the song done by The Womenfolk. If I recall, from what I read, this is the guy that wrote it. But he's not much of a singer.

[wahooguy14]

@norfolk611

Yeah, Pete Seeger has a horrible voice <_<

[thelyniezian]

Nowadays this song ought to be further updated. Not only are we content to put ourselves into neat little boxes tha all look just the same, we like to shut ourselves up in those boxes and isolate ourselves from the world.

Except on the internet where we are quite happy to talk to complete strangers we've never met (admittedly like I'm doing here), and never even get to know our neighbours.

[yeahduden]

fuck this song is depressing..... it makes me want to break out and say fuck society 

[Mac1634]

@yeahduden How is this sad? How is it depressing? People take non-conformism too far. Now having a fairly successful career and owning a house is too mainstream for you? What's next, breathing? "I was breathing before it was cool" stupid hipsters..

[yeahduden]

@Mac1634 the song portraits regular life as boring and regular, it made me want to beak out and do something different, its not the fact that its mainstream that it doesn't/didn't appeal to me so go fu ck yourself. its just the way the song makes regular life look like, i am fully aware that there is much more to that life, and i probably going to end up in the exact place the song describes.

>>mac1634

calling me a hipster ? go back to Starbucks.

The Winner <3

[quantomintomentum]

No way out of the little boxes sadly. Just the practical, modern outcome of human life on earth. We live in a silent, self created prison that nobody seems to mind

[andrecoxa]

@quantomintomentum I mind. I often feel suffocated.

[YaiBugy]

@quantomintomentum we do mind. few of us, but we do. we just cant silence ourselves, desíte the minority.

[toonerama]

@quantomintomentum ... okay, you go live in a commune, and I'll take your little box :)

[sethboy66]

@quantomintomentum you can choose how much of a "prison" your life is.

[DIANNEELEE]

@quantomintomentum True: But like Billy Holliday sang, "God Bless The Children that gots his own". So many people in other countries wish they had what we are able to have in this country. God bless those who have lost their homes because of who knows? But lucky are those who have those "Little ticky Tacky Little Boxes. A lucky, long time ticky tacky little 1500 sq. ft. home owner.

[rythumismylife12]

little hipsters on the in the Urban little hipsters riding fixies, little hipster little hipsters little hipsters all the same. theres a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one and there all riding fixies and they all look just the same.

[TheMPOEye]

Great song, but I'd sure prefer your photographs to be in focus! 

[salmagnum]

The devil's little plan in a nutshell, and you might not even realize it

[ADonovan43]

If you only watch the American news on T.V. that is generated by public opinion polls only, you will soon find yourself right at home in one of thoes little boxes where everyone just looks and sounds the same.Take care ADonovan43

[0IIMENACEII0]

GET ME OUT OF THE FREAKING LITTLE BOXES

[amcpjc]

Still love from I heard it the first time.

[MrPotoskey]

fuk newgrounds version is better

[ivokee3]

this is lame wach the newgrounds one its more epic

[Sixx123]

@ivokee3 this is the original one. the "epic one" came from the lame one.

I liked the one in newgrounds though

[Sixx123]

@Sixx123 actually no, this is the version that hit first, not the original one

[ivokee3]

@Sixx123 its still lame doh

[Sixx123]

@Sixx123 DOH!>.<

[DeathPodJr]

Well Fuck.

This song makes me feel like I shouldnt even try anymore.

.-.

[cindiloohoo552]

@DeathPodJr Don't stop trying. Pete Seeger is saying that you don't have to live the American dream.. it's not so hot and it's the same as everyone else. Be different. Whatever is you !!!

[AnotherAgnostic]

How can you not love this song. 46 people can suck it.

[AustrianChaos]

@AnotherAgnostic

Yeah, way to go!

A nonconformistic 935 out of 981 like this song - How DARE those 46 to oppose your opinion.

Those conformists can suck it. ಠ_ಠ

[AnotherAgnostic]

@AustrianChaos, I love sarcasm

[Xhaosz]

This song is just about the American high/middle class people.

Stop acting like self-proclaimed philosophers.

[ColdAsBalls]

@Xhaosz well said

[particube]

CONFORMITY!

[sushisroxmysox]

i like this version the best! his voice captures the satire :-)

[WorldChallenge]

It's about Westlake, Daly City, California. Go there. You'll understand.

[queennwanna1]

this man sang it great but the lyrics a kinda weird

[necridos]

@queennwanna1 It's only weird untill you think outside the box ;)

[queennwanna1]

this song has so much meaning to it deep

deeper than you can think

[Vituxxxo]

CHURUPITAS FARM!!!!!!!!!!!

DAHORAAAAA!!

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[JosheeHB]

APUSH teacher played this for us in class :D fantastic

[windsongshf]

The latest building trend I've noticed in South Orange County California are these attached three story "tubes" the builders are trying to stick people in! LOL!

You have to go mountain climbing to get to your bedroom! No thanks!

Sing along now...

"Little tubes stuck together, little tubes pay for sunny weather"

[MrStorkpatrol]

is this suggesting that we shouldnt live in houses?

[GordonGraphic86]

@MrStorkpatrol not at all its commentary on capitalism

[necridos]

@GordonGraphic86 I don't think it has anything to do with capitalism. I think it's really more about human psycology, since everyone is living in boxes. Capitalism just so happens to be the culprit behind putting them in boxes :)

[AustrianChaos]

@necridos

And if you look at socialistic countries, historically, they have always been a marvelous wonderland of free-spirited and creative people, and never, EVER but people in boxes.

Just in concentration camps. But oh well. At least not in boxes. :|

[necridos]

@AustrianChaos Canada was socialist once, we never put anyone in concentration camps o.o We put people in boxes once we started going capitalist though. BTW, I believe it was a fascist leader who put people in concentration camps through the guise of socialism :P

[AustrianChaos]

@necridos

You know, I'm from Austria, and we're having a social market economy atm. I guess you have the same system? Anyways, this system has been working perfectly for several decades and still would, if it weren't for our stupid politicians.

In socialist countries, usually there is no political and little personal freedom. Look at China until the 90s. Or North Korea. I'm not saying pure capitalism is the solution - but pure socialism is it even less.

[khetnhio]

@AustrianChaos You should watch the zeitgeist.

That's what the little boxes and the people who live in them are made of!

You know... Ticky tacky.. =)

[StArLvRx14]

Myy Englishh Teachr Playdd It N Now Itz Stuckk N Myy Headd Haha 

[Wanteddreadandalive]

I took a seminar on social commentary. My Professor took a whole semester to explain what this song explains in a minute and 55 seconds

[GordonGraphic86]

@Wanteddreadandalive or your class could just watch the 1st 2 seasons of weeds

[er20092009]

@Wanteddreadandalive and that would be...????...??...???...??....

uh, yeah, i didn't think so, your some college-boy know it all BITCH who cants explain this song for SHIT?!?!?!?!

this is a kids song DUDE, no college professor teaches this shit!!!!!

Prove me wrong....whats this songs meaning???

[Wanteddreadandalive]

@er20092009 First off chill out dude that's pretty uncalled for. Second off, yes i'm in college but that doesn't mean I'm a know it all. I guess higher education is frowned upon where you're from. This song is a critique of the post WWII trend of building neighborhoods and even towns out of copycat houses. The houses have no personality and neither do the people living inside of them because the american dream was shoved down these people's throats and that's all they know. Not a kids song.

[thuliocsp]

@Wanteddreadandalive

Can't believe you really did explain the song to @er20092009..

Wow.. Such a cool person are you.. Cheers to you!

And definitely, not a kids song!!!

[Wanteddreadandalive]

@thuliocsp ha thanks man he hasn't responded yet and from looking at his channel he seems like a pretty ignorant guy haha

[xbones101]

@Wanteddreadandalive Not quite. Ticky-tacky is political correctness. You have to buy a SUV because your neighbor has one. You have to buy a in-ground pool because your neighbor has one. There is only one way to think. Only one way to do. You want to be different? OK, pick a color. Politics? Pic a party, they give you 2, Rep, or Dem. That's all of the difference that anyone needs. Everybody must fit in! There will be Hell to pay if you don't fit in!

[SilentPhenomed]

@Wanteddreadandalive a whole semester? What an easy class -_-"

[swisscheeseMAFIA]

@Wanteddreadandalive like you didnt just wikipedia that faggot

[TheExRepublican]

@Wanteddreadandalive was your professor's name Rube Goldberg by any chance? :-D

[infiniteJIRACHI]

@Wanteddreadandalive i think u mean u took a class in middle class conformity...

[JamesTR4]

@Wanteddreadandalive it's not ur professor you heard it from..it's wikipedia "The profundity of the satire is attested by a university professor of the time who said that, "I've been lecturing my classes about middle-class conformity for a whole semester. Here's a song that says it all in 1½ minutes." - excerpt from wikipedia

[unusualitalian]

@Wanteddreadandalive You didnt. You're just quoting an article from Time ;-)

[NewOrleansCrazy]

I've been watching old episodes of Weeds and I'm totally in love with this song. Tell me, would this song be considered bluegrass or folk? I'm leaning toward Bluegrass, just curious what others think. Have a great rest of your day everyone. :)

[ImTestingSleeping]

@NewOrleansCrazy Let it be what it is :D

[NewOrleansCrazy]

@ImTestingSleeping You know, you are absolutely right! :P

[augustwo]

@NewOrleansCrazy funny you ask that...i consider it folk myself. if you check out other songs by malvina reynolds there's some good stuff. great lyrics.

[vielma123]

i heard this song in spanish before can someone tell me who wrote it?!

Search Little Boxes on Google.

[probablecausept]

@rockwjz they were friends, she wrote it for him to perform

[kbjami]

@rockwjz

He didn't steal it. She allowed Pete to perform this song. Plus if you would look back at the folk genre you would notice that many of them would play each others songs. Joan Baez and Bob Dylan did this a lot.
