New Filk!
Inspiration struck tonight, due to this incredibly catchy tune's getting stuck in my head, courtesy of Showtime's promos for Weeds.

CD Boxes
by Aaron Davies
ttto Little Boxes, by Malvina Reynolds

CD boxes, CD boxes
CD boxes full of pop songs
CD boxes on the store shelves
And they all sound just the same

And there's Britney and there's Ashley
And there's Lindsey and there's Jessica
And they come in CD boxes
And they all sound just the same

And the singers in the boxes
All were found by label A&R
And they sing songs labels write them
And the all sound just the same

And there's rappers and there's rockers
And there's pop stars and there's metal-heads
And there's country and there's western
And it all sounds much the same

And they all go on the TV
And they show their music videos
And they talk to Carson Daly
And they all sound just the same

And the labels are so worried
That the people will not buy their crap
That they sue their own customers--
We won't buy it, just the same

And the pop-stars' songs get boring
And the labels find some other stars
And they put their songs in boxes
And they all sound just the same

And there's New Kids and there's Backstreet
And there's Snoop Dog and there's 50 Cent
And there's Usher and there's Kelly
And it all sounds just the same
