Little Boxes

Malvina Reynolds! I first learned about her though a cover song my friend and occasional poster Miss Betty Cake. Well, unfortunately YouTube only has three pages of results on this wonderful woman, most of which are covers in the genre of 'Guitar Guys'. Damn!

Little Boxes

This song is featured currently as the theme song to Weeds, a series on Showtime. I like Malvina's version a lot and really dig this claymation version a fan put together, but I think Miss Betty Cake's version tops them all!

No Hole In My Head

This song is punk as fuck. Don't be confused by the singer's apperance; it was never supposed to be about looks! Just as badass as the story about how she supposedly wrote Little Boxes:

"I was once introduced as the woman who'd written so many songs, she must write one every day before breakfast. That wasn't true, so one morning I decided I better write a song before breakfast, and out came 'Little Boxes'."

That's right. Malvina whips out folk classics before breakfast.

Little Red Hen

Get it? Little RED Hen. Take that, House Un-American Activities Committee.
