SFist Photo: Daly City's "Little Boxes on the Hillside"

At just one minute and three seconds long, the shortest song to ever chart nationally was "Little Boxes" written by folk legend Malvina Reynolds while in a car passing through Daly City. "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." Ouch. You can listen to her sing it here if you want. But history has been kind to these Doelger houses if you believe the New York Times. These places even have their own book. How about that? We'll take a Doelger. Make ours green, or pink, or blue - it's all good.
