Little Boxes - DCFC

I've been reading reviews of DCFC's concert in Singapore. Still feeling sore about not attending it.
But it reminded me of Weeds- this Showtime TV series i've been catching on DVD about a widowed mom who sells weed to support her family.


Okay i'm not as big a fan of the show as i am of the opening sequence which features a catchy song called "Little Boxes". The song is a little anti-marxism in my opinion, originally performed by Malvina Reynolds in 1962.

Lyrics:
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.

(there are 2 more verses to this song)

Here's the original intro... It's quite folky.




Now the interesting part is... In 2nd/3rd season, intro of Little Boxes is covered by various artists including DCFC, Billy Bob, The Shins, Persephone's Bees, Linkin Park... I thought they made interesting interpretations of the song, and it's quite creative isn't it!


Here's DCFC's Version. I lit up the moment i heard Ben Gibbard's voice, i was so sure it was him and i was right!
