The Music Slut

They're All Made Out Of Ticky-Tacky

I don't know how many of you out there are fans of Weeds, but I endlessly enjoy the Showtime series starring the ridiculously talented Mary Louise Parker. If you do watch the show then you may recall, last season a variety of different bands covered the theme song made famous by Malvina Reynolds entitled 'Little Boxes'.

'Little Boxes', for those unfamiliar, is pretty much a short tune that pokes fun at suburban lifestyle and the uniform way in which suburbanites tend to go about their daily routine. It's genius.

I figured after listening to all the various covers of the classic track for the last few months, it was high time (har har) to present the best renditions to you, our dear slut loyals.

Feel free to tell us which one you're most entertained by in the comments!

MP3s:
The Polyphonic Spree - Little Boxes
