Famously so! That song was about houses on a hill in Daly City, outside San Francisco.
Personally, I've always found it a great example of irony. The condemnation of sameness and uniformity, from someone self-consciously countercultural and generally trotted out by others who are self-consciously counterculture stereotype compliant. A song lambasting people for their smug and thoughtless conformity from the perspective of someone thoughtlessly smug and superior for their conformity who marks the difference by sneering.
It's really a remarkable piece.
