old 60s song/ Little houses..made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same...who sings it?

Question

It is a real oldie from the sixties. I am generally pretty good about music trivia, but this one just leaves me blank. Thanks!

Answer 1

"Little Boxes" by Pete Seeger

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

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
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini 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
And they all get put in boxes, and they all come out the same
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
And they all get put in 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

Answer 2

Weeds soundtrack lyrics -- Little Boxes ... Malvina Reynolds

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, 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.

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 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.

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 are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

Answer 3

Hey Prof, happy new year to you too! Great choice, Sea Change is definitely one of my favorite Beck albums. It was his last one that I could really get into, except for maybe Guero. I couldn't really get into The Information or Modern Guilt, although I really haven't listened to them much. Favorite Beck song is probably Whiskeyclone Hotel City, 1997.

Answer 4

Buffy St. Marie Did a great version of it. I think it was a Pete Seeger creation.
