I have one rich relative. They were so excited to hear that Malvina Reynolds had apparently written the song about their neighborhood in Palo Alto, California.It never dawned on them that she was writing about them and their lifestyle.

It also reminds me Phil Och’s Love Me I’m Liberal where he sings:

I vote for the Democratic Party,

They want the U.N. to be strong.

I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts;

He sure gets me singing those songs.

And I'll send all the money you ask for,

But don't ask me to come on along.

So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal…

Goodness I haven't heard this song since I was a child Louise! I have always had a great abhorrence of sameness, especially in housing, though the reasons why I understand. I never knew until now the reason for this song... I may not ever hear it again but if I do it will have meaning - you're amazing, thank you! xx
