Little Boxes

Одним из интересных моментов моего любимого сериала "Weeds" является открывающая его песня Мальвины Рейнольдс (Malvina Reynolds) под названием "Little Boxes". Песенка нереально бесхитростная, но цепляет невероятно, особенно с оригинальным вокалом. Песня стала настолько популярной среди фэнов сериала, что, начиная со второго сезона, каждая серия стала открываться ей в чьём-то индивидуальном исполнении и в разных стилях: гангста-рэп, кантри, спиричуэлс, панк и так далее... Была даже версия на русском языке :)

Текст у "Little Boxes" настолько же бесхитростен, как и сама песня, но тоже цепляет.

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.
