Our Final Choice--Little Boxes by Walk Off The Earth

For music with a message we were trying to decide what song we should do.  Then we came up with a final decision with a vote: Little Boxes!!

Here is there music video for Little Boxes:



A little bit about this song/performers:

-The performers/band Walk Off The Earth are Canadian
-The song was written in 1962 and was performed 40 years later in 2012
-Tick-tacky is a material they used for making houses look the same

I think the message of this song is you can be different if you wish, but most people want to be the same.  But in fact you aren't going to be the same no matter who or what you are.  Like for example in the song they say "made of ticky-tacky",  that's the part that they're saying everyone is the same,  but then they say "the  pink one and the green one and the blue one and the yellow one" that's the part that is different about everyone that is the "same".

If you wan to know the ukulele chords to the song here is the link--or you can go to the tab "Uke Songs and Tabs" and scroll to the bottom!  The chords are very simple Em, F, C, and G.

Here is the lyrics to the song if you wan to sing along:

little boxes on the hillside
little boxes made of ticky tacky
little boxes on the hillside
little boxes all the same

there’s a pink one and a green 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 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 sam

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

there’s a pink one and a green 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

Squirrel Poses

 These photos is a squirrel doing something that a human would normally do.  The person that creates these photos set up a display and waits for the squirrel to pose and get interested in the items, then snaps the shot.  
Here are some of the photos:
