And They All Sound Just The Same

Showtime's sitcom Weeds has a gimmick--each episode starts with a different artist performing the theme song, Malvina Reynolds' 1962 comment on conformity, "Little Boxes." Elvis Costello, Randy Newman, Dave Matthews, Engelbert Humperdinck, Billy Bob Thornton--there have been some pretty big names.

But none of them can change the fact it's a sour little condescending song that doesn't even fit the show that well.
