60's Hit Song Review: "Little Boxes" by The Womenfolk (1964)

U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 83

Backstory: This American folk music band consisting of Jean Amos, Elaine Gealer, Joyce James, Leni Ashmore, Babs Cooper, and Judy Fine was formed in Los Angeles in 1963 and broke up by 1966. Their self titled album reached as high as No. 118 on the Billboard Album Charts. This following single was their only ever charting single and is a cover of a song popularized by Pete Seeger and many other musical acts as well. Up until 2016's, "P.P.A.P. (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)" by the Japanese comedian and singer Piko-Taro was released and made it as high as No. 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 (clocking in at just 45 seconds long), this was the shortest charting Hot 100 single, clocking in at a grand total of just 1:02 long.

The review: Honestly, this version of the song is sort of a guilty pleasure for me. Even its shortness doesn't bother me. It's just a cutesy little tune about family life and people. LOL.

Final rating: 8/10
