"Little Boxes" is a song written and composed by Malvina Reynolds in 1962. The song was first released by her friend, Pete Seeger , in 1963, and became his only charting single in January 1964. The song is a social satire [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] about the development of suburbia and associated conformist middle-class attitudes.
Reynolds' song "Little Boxes" was used as the theme for Showtime's TV series Weeds (2005–2012). The TV show Big Sky featured the song "Little Boxes" at the end of the episode aptly titled "Little Boxes". In 2020, most of the second verse of her one-minute ditty "Place to Be," as recorded by her, was used as the sound for a Zillow commercial.

The original title sequence was briefly revived in episode 11 with the notable difference of signs reading Regrestic rather than Agrestic and Majestic.
