Little Boxes Claymation

[georgewurtzinger]

This song has been haunting me for years. I would catch myself singing it on my way to a from campus as I looked at the houses and imagined them made of ticky, tacky - they looked much the same.

During the years, I've been to Daly City where the song was given birth. I am sure there are many times parths cross.

My ticky tacky is decades older now but we still enjoy the song.

Thanks for it.

[quakerninja]

Tiny movies tiny movies made out of mp4z and they all got put on youtubes, and they all look just the same. Stop Conforming damn it.

[billsblots]

How weird that so many people didn't know of this song until it was picked up by Weeds 45 years later. n00bs.

[BaileyLovesyoulot]

weeds is the greatest show ever. EVER.

[PwnageToolz]

i dont like slideshows

[carajane1979]

Watch The Zeitgeist movies and research the Indigo Children. People like Malvina were the early Light Workers!

[Meadoway40]

This song used to terrify me as a small boy, I dont know why hearing it now?.It did not affect me though as I am due to be released from the asylum in 2018.

[DeathnoteBB]

@Meadoway40 Are you sure they lost some letters and it's really a University?

[rainbowpower625]

So depressing what? why shoving people on boxes you crazy person!:(

[502belinda]

[lattemint]

@born2ride425 This /is/ the original version; Malvina Reynolds wrote this song..

[FishStone168]

@born2ride425 This is a Malvina Reynolds song.

Also, there are two claymation versions of this song on Youtube.....I like the other one a lot better.

[uchiaslayer]

lol jason at the summer camp.

[TheDashingRor]

Everybody thinks its drinking their martinis dry as in, until the glass is empty. But isn't it that they're drinking them "dry": as in that certain style of martini?

[stickdog100]

@TheDashingRor I don't know for certain, but I think a "dry" martini is more bitter.

[bizma2000]

YEAH I GREE THE FIRST 3 SEASONS WERE REALLY GREAT AND THE LAST TWO LOST IT ALITTLE. i LOVED HOW COOL NANCY WAS IN THE BEGINNING AND I LOVE HER AS AN ACTRESS.......BUT I MISS THE LIGHT HEARTED APPROACH THE SERIES STARTED WITH

[fdo72]

NO veas esto. ALTAMENTE SUBVERSIVO.

[jackrussers]

thats not blue

[video0person]

this video is creeppyyy...!

[pandajoi]

i am so thankful to this video- used in for my paper: "ticky tacky- a social theroy". PERFECT!

[2003phylis]

Weeds is one of the funniest shows I have ever watched! I love the show!! Hope it stays on TV for a long time!

[MsKimi26]

i hate how they kept changing it i like the original

[ruedboy1]

@MsKimi26

yeah, creativity and surprise sux....

[MsKimi26]

@ruedboy1 i just like the orginal song i love how it came out in like 1936 or something yet sounds current. its was amazingly futuristic or something lol. love her voice and the way she sang it i feel like it was perfection.

[moleratical]

lol jason vorhees

[MegaMartyr1]

Very Good!!!

[benjoe789]

none of these vids are the version from the show...its the studio version

[AwkwardTurtleTees]

Great video for a great song. If you love this song too, check out our Little Boxes tee shirt on Zazzle, awkwardturtletees.

[Soapjuna]

very cute

[TheHithic1]

I recently had to make a claymation for school and looking at this now I wish i'd done a scene to this song like you did. The song has a really true message.

anyway good job

[TastyTangerine]

Great song and video.

[AwesomeFunnyCartoons]

Not really claymation, you are using clay and taking pictures, but you are just moving the clay around on the flat peice of paper. Claymations are supposed to have depth.

[ZiggyStardust35]

This is great! hehe! Very cute!

[GaaraBabyEater]

Camp Crystal Lake!

[NakedLegend]

Haha, I were trying to do something which takes care (not saying what) and my maye played this on his phone.. i were laughting soo muchh!!

[StoneyEnd444]

HAHA

[leamanjjj]

[NatureLegalized]

Love it! :) ..and Weeds to of course.

[kjokay]

themango, you are so profound, but sadly, an idiot.

[themango55]

This song blows

And if there's a pink one, a green one, and a blue one, how can they all look the same?

[ruthg10]

I love this song, though it is slightly depressing how true the song still is even though it was written years ago.

[PNprodutions]

Awsome love it still thinkin about it i seen this video have it had like 240 views! :D i got like 5th comment from a year ago! LOL I LOVE THIS!!!

[starrloves]

And the show too, of course. Hahaha

[tabitwin]

i love this song. i'm moving into a subdivision. irony.

[padmae1971]

That was a good job. I thought it was really cute.

[EdwardCullenForeva]

Did you make sure to publish it to the computer???

[julieannaClark]

I love Weeds. lol

I loved how they always changed how the song was sang in every episode.

[jimbo9203]

only in seasons 2 and 3 ;)

[jizzbitch69]

I hate that they don't play this song in the beginning of the show anymore

[BlackendHeartBrigade]

i know! the fourth season is fucking hilarious!!!!

[randomeditor]

@julieannaClark i liked seasons 1-3 of weed. but after that it did a total change-up and became like a mexican version of the sopranos. El Sapranles

[sarahw59]

why r u not replyin?

[sarahw59]

'And the celebs like twiggy lived in the ticky boxes'

'and the actors like crieg lived with them to'

'they they married and had children in the tacky boxes, and they when to uni and came out just the same'

[sarahw59]

like 'and the children all have bunches, in the tickt tacky boxes' etc...

LETS!

Sarahw59

[cait724]

awesome job!

wicked cool :)

[sarahw59]

This is a great song and a grat video! Good, job, sir!

Me and my sis were making up new lyrics and my sis was saying 'And the fatners are all loopy, in the Dinky Dinky boxes'!

She thought 'Dinky, Dinky' sounded better!

Let's see how many different lyrics we can think of! Prize for the best one!

(u get 2 be my friend etc...)

Sarahw59

[ajnunzi]

LOVE IT!

[midprod]

I liked it!

[AnotherWasteOfSpace]

more frames per second, seriously

[beautifuldayx0]

psh, no.

[flippinsweet17]

Nice.

[TBHTunicle]

Just as relevant today as then.

Possibly even more so if you live in the UK and have had to suffer last two decades of beaurocratic manage led educational reforms.

[fauricio2722]

love this song! the serie weeds is the best!

[motafina]

wow, nice!  :)

[mbehrmann1]

great ideas, claymation could use a little work though

[kazlon1]

good job, sir.

[rathyana]

Bravo!

[Klassenex]

OMG 0O0

[PNprodutions]

how long did this take?

[blackboydavis]

over 9000~!!!!! years

[PNprodutions]

well u did AWSOME! well worth it i hope every1 who watches this gives a 5/5 got effort 5/5 for song :D 5/5 for you! AND A SUBSCRIBE TO YOU!! CAUSE U ROCK!

[stewballmax2]

Malvina Rocks!

[SirCoughsalot]

Indeed she does. I just love her voice.

[FatherTimeasd]

Excellent. Claymation is definitely the best way to do a video for this song.

[Meatlock]

Awesome Work well done

[catcorisara]

I love this song.

haha...Does else anybody wonder about that random serial killer wandering around the summer camp? Weird...

[funkymonkey11179]

i agree

...Ah creepy

I'm never going to Summer Camp again thats for sure

[EdwardCullenForeva]

Yeah, pretty wierd, I was wondering..?

[lenucha]

awesome! :D

[ford2n2003]

Great!! I love it!!

[ksjhkfj21]

camp crystal lake xDDDD

[oboeplayr4life]

lol jason

[moofa750]

cool video... but i agree with tom lehrer. he said this is the most sanctimonious song ever written. and it really, really, is.

[nickytanner]

Sanctimonious????!!!!!! - I think it's a charming yet razor/sharp observation on destination addicted non-human humans. Is every protest song or satire or social commentary sanctimonious then???

[moofa750]

of course not. i like this song. but the way it belittles suburban life contradicts the message i think she meant to send, which is one of being yourself. if being yourself means suburbia, so be it.

[nickytanner]

yes that's a good point, but I think in the main, the perfect lawns do symbolise a kind of spiritual coldness. I don't think she's belittling it, I just think she's saying do what you want but maybe be careful you don't end up in a little box........but of course we all end up in them in the end ha ha!!!!!

[moofa750]

i personally love the little box me and my family live in. the perfect lawn comment is funny, because as soon as one person mows theirs, everyone else does within a day so nobody's looks messy or overgrown... its like a survival strategy haha

[nickytanner]

well you sound like a good soul and it's brilliant that you and your family are happy in your box - I live in a box too and I'm happy!!!!! - we don't have to be human 'doings' - we can be human 'beings' in our boxes!!!! x

[FireDragons321]

Awesome vid!!!

[Viddythat]

i've always imagined the song is this way. i love the factory metaphor.

[kisa20]

great job!! Lol on the halloween murderer guy.

[phillyvinilli]

Who is singing the song please. Thanks

[bonzaitri]

This version is by Malvina Reynolds I believe

[bodiddly83]

She wrote and performed the original, i believe. All others are covers.

[4evadiamondz]

I think my Literature teacher showed this video to my class a couple weeks back.

[Bradford1966]

Today little boxes are called McMansions.

[lingkongjin]

Excelente... Malvina Reynolds (tags).

[bndlazar]

FANTASTIC!!! It's hard to get the feelings from a song into something visual but you've done it!

[daVman93]

I agree

very good job!!!!!!!!!

[Vicious516]

I'm really diggin your work, I'm surprised it took me this long to stumble on it

[mutantleader]

Excellent job!

[Pizzzzzzzzzzza]

Weeds is hillarious. You can watch full episodes on showlinks(.)tv

[ahsaka]

does anyone have the mp3 of it and could sent it to me?!?

[hasrinol]

Amazing work.

[bjmarciano]

lmao @ Jason!

[death2catz]

[catalankrusty]

[greyhem]

[kelliejellie]

i really liked it, very creative animation!!!

[supremeguru]

[blackbunny1703]

i get it.. man that is so depressing ......

[khjui]

lol

The d for The end screen (Or clip) looks like dog muck!

[catbite2230]

awesome video! check my videos out too!

[junemilkmoon]

great animation, i like it a lot! thanx for making it!

[finchleypd102]

Great person who wrote this anarchic song and funny video South Park style! Malvina Reynolds shines!

[JohnnyPeow]

"they stay at the golf course all day and drink their martinas dry?!?!?!?" the lyrics and tempo and tune of this song suck! and thank you for all the insulting comebacks i will mostlikely get from saying this

[jonajen]

Insulting comebacks? Well, you're not a spelling whiz, and your "quote" from the song is way off, but I wouldn't insult anyone for not liking the song. If you lived in the 50's and early 60's it might have some meaning for you.

[JohnnyPeow]

yea i type fast and if i can understand what im typing i dont really give a crap if anyone else can

[kidgirly123]

aamazingly funny song!! i like the vid its full of coolness!!

[Kaigun]

nice, but animation is too choppy.

[miomonster]

nice

[StuckInTheStargate]

ha! great. that was hilarious putting Jason in the camp!

[Liamboyle03]

didn't pete seeger sing this. does anyone have that version. Who is the singer on this

[ncisbuffyvmfan]

yeah pete seeger does sing it i have it if u want me to email it to u

[Liamboyle03]

yea that would be brilliant. I would appreciate that very much. thanks

[evelynjoyce]

Malvina Reynolds wrote this song. She is the performer on this youtube. Pete Seeger sang this song many times, but Malvina wrote it.

[Liamboyle03]

thanks. must admit I never heard of her. do you know anything about her.any other interesting songs ?

[evelynjoyce]

try Google.

[Zenman1976]

Did I see Jason Voorhees... LMAO that was wicked

[memoryburn7]

Fantastic.

[sgallo2]

Loved it! truly shows we should all want to be different and stand out ;)

[SeanBoke]

Loved it. Gotta love Malvina Reynolds.

[lemonbarr]

I loved it.... I love the song, and your claymation is really good.

[unchienandalouz]

are you a genius?

this is brilliant.

First watched it without sound, later i watched it with.

Excellent in both versions. Didn't expect the audio to be so good.

[ElisitaJoss]

What is ticky tacky? I liked it.

[smitcha2]

It means "insubstantial materials". The origin of the term is in fact this song, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

[Phanyxx]

Nice work. I like the song too. So true.

[chadgilchrist]

I loved it.

[driver4]

I almost fell asleep.
