The McCain's house song: "Little Boxes"

My students used to love to sing this song. It is so universal. It could be good background music for the showing of the various homes of Sen. McCain. If the copyright owners of the song are Democrats, all the better; using the song could be considered a donation to the Obama campaign. You may also like it when you hear it performed.

Little Boxes
by Malvina Reynolds
Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, 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.
And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out 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.
And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

P.S. comment from a diary in reference to Sen. McCain:

Until then, it would be dangerously irresponsible to jeopardize our country's, our family's well-being by cutting him slack.
