Song lyrics

I've removed the song lyric listed as it appear to be copyrighted. --Tsaetre 00:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As have I, twice now. PKtm 01:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are there two external links for the lyrics? They're both the same lyrics, seems a bit redundant. I'd say get rid of the second one, as the first one also has some other information which might be of interest, while the second is just the lyrics and nothing else. --Lurlock 17:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orchestral version

There are three composers by the name of Charlie Barnett listed at IMDb:

Does anybody know if the two present day film-and-television composers listed on IMDb—Charlie Barnett I and Charlie Barnett III—are related, or are they possibly the same person, with IMDb being in error?
Is one of them the composer of the orchestral version of “Little Boxes” that was used on Mrs. Botwin's Neighborhood (Weeds episode), or was it Charlie Barnet?

Similar tune

The "little boxes on the hillside" phrase is very similar to a bit of the tune "Pittsburgh Pennsylvania" by Bob Merrill, which was a hit in 1952. It's best known as "There's a pawn shop, on the corner, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania". No accusation of theft to Malvina Reynolds here, but she might have unknowingly lifted the tune. The lyrins (and the rest of the tune) have nothing in common. http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/lyrics/p/pittsburgh_pennsylvania.txt I'm sorry but I can't find a file of the tune online.Saxophobia 00:27, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
