Petites boîtes

 

Sur la musique de Malvina Reynolds, Little Boxes(1962) reprise par Pete Seeger en 1963 (Clip non officiel), cette relecture sous forme de mapping. A l'origine, ces petites boîtes étaient les maisons individuelles, toutes pareilles, de la middle class américaine qui ont proliféré en un "rêve" d'uniformité.

Cette chanson avait été reprise en français par Graemme Allwright.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
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 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.

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.
