My Favourite Song Ever!
Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same,
Theres a pink one & a green one
And a blue one & a yellow one
And they are 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 theres doctors & lawyers
And business executives
And they are all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
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´re put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry & raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same,
Theres a pink one & a green one
And a blue one & a yellow one
And they are all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Birdie this is just wonderful... I loved the video and the message behind the song... wow... all in the same boxes... and they are all the same... I love uniqueness... I love diversity.... Lovely post... a well chosen one... a wise one...Thanks so much for that! I never heard it before... so thank you for introducing me to it... I might write a blog entry sometimes soon about that... would you mind if I use your video? or maybe I can somehow direct people to your blog to watch it... do you know how I can do that? You inspire me Birdie... thanks!
ReplyDeleteOf course you can use it! Just take it off youtube. The song was written in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds and the video was done by a very bright and clever high school student a few years back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Birdie... but wouldn't it be better to direct the readers to your blog to listen to it? I mean this way more people would read your wonderful blog... if you would like that... could you let me know how I can put a link to your blog? Is it the same way you put any link to any website?
ReplyDeleteI think so. But honestly, this song was meant for everyone. It belongs to all of us! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE IT! Never heard it or even OF it, but it's fabulous! And the little claymation video just MAKES it! Thanks so much for posting it - I'm off to put it on facebook!
