“Little Boxes” popularized by #PeteSeeger and written by #MalvinReynolds is literally a satirical song about conformity, the middle class, and suburbs.
There is no folk song that you can choose that would ever be appropriate for a commercial. It’s an insult to the entire genre, not just to the memories of these two musicians, to use this song in this way.
Time for a blog post because I’m very upset.

I don’t know if it’s one of his kids or just a random publishing company, but whoever is controlling the song rights to Pete Seeger’s music has decided to completely defile his memory by letting Dunkin Donuts use a song about the horrors of commercialism and capitalism destroying individuality in a new cutesy coffee commercial.
This is so wrong on so many levels.
