   What is little boxes about?

   • Don’t be fooled by the upbeat tempo: “Little Boxes”, with its houses “made of ticky-tacky”, is a mournful ditty of suburban malaise — a landmark in folk singer and political activist Malvina Reynolds’s songbook. Disarmingly buoyant, with a nursery-rhyme melody, the 1962 song sharply critiqued the growing conformity and consumerism of the US.

   • Naturally, though, the houses built were small and simple, with just two bedrooms, no basement and no garage. The first site on which they were built was named Levittown.
