little boxes made of ticky tacky

It’s appalling how tv series have flipped in a disturbing three sixty turn… ten year old girls kissing, little boys jacking off, teens doing the deed, suburban moms selling weed. Nonetheless, I’d have to give it up for the show Weeds, for its bold & uninhibited depiction of modern America. I remember a time when the word ‘Hayop’ would entail a beating from the mtrcb censors. Now, we can freely curse & mock our heads of state. Haha

The theme song is appropriate too:

1. Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.

2. And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there’s doctors and there’s lawyers
And business executives,
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same

 I thought it was one of those folksy songs intentionally made to sound like an oldie. But Lord Google says it’s a song written in 1962 ‘that lampoons the development of suburbia and what many consider its bourgeois conformist values.’

[That’s a good LSS, relative to cheap korean pop, if you ask me]
