"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.
Peter Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer-songwriter, musician and social activist. He was a fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, and had a string of hit records in the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene," which topped the charts for 14 weeks in 1950.
Seeger selected the eleven songs for the album from an anthology of folk songs for children that had been published by his stepmother, Ruth Crawford Seeger, in her 1948 book titled American Folk Songs For Children, ISBN 0-385-15788-6, a book of musical notations and notated guides.
