there's more information than you want here.

I'm trying to find some mp3s, but they're proving trickier than I thought.

The second season of Weeds premieres on Showtime 8/14, and while that theme song was cute the first three times, I don't know if I can stand to hear Melvina Reynolds yodel "Little Boxes" one more time. Thankfully, the showrunners got stoned, borrowed my iPod, and convinced these artists to cover it.

# Elvis Costello
# Death Cab For Cutie
# Regina Spektor
# McGarrigle Sisters
# Ozomatli
# Jenny Lewis
# Tim DeLaughter (Polyphonic Spree)
# Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher (Squirrel Nut Zippers)

Englebert Humperdinck too, but he's not on my iPod. Each artist's version will open a different episode.

Pete Seeger, The Seekers and Harry Belafonte had hits with her songs as I recall.

Can't remember what she sounds like, but she had a good song about depression back in the 50's. Can't remember the name of it though. Will look it up.

Oh, okay "There's A Bottom Below" it's called.

She also wrote "What Have They Done To The Rain" though I don't think I've ever heard her version.

We just finished watching Season 1 of Weeds, and this song is now being regularly sung/shouted by me or my fiance.

I enjoyed Weeds, too. Good show.

yeah i deliberately flub the words and make the song about whatever i happen to be doing at the time and sing it near constantly. I annoy myself.

Malvina Reynolds?
