Series Description

The Simple Life was a 60 minute reality television series that aired on the FOX Network for its first three seasons and on the E! Network thereafter. It was about two spoiled rich girls who pretend that they're going to try to live the average person's life and then immediately fall back into their spoiled little rich girl ways. It's all in good fun though and it can be entertaining watching the reactions of "normal" people to the girls carefree, "anything goes" attitudes. Parents with children wanting to watch this series should be aware that it contains foul language, sexual inuendos, and little regard for moral values.

The Simple Life Theme Song

Title: "The Simple Life Theme"

Written And Performed By: "We 3 Kings"

Note: Lyrics changed slightly from one season to another.

Let's take two girls
Both filthy rich
From the bright lights
Into the sticks
From velvet robes
To cattle poles

Lets take away their limousines
Their credits cards and shopping sprees
Well they're both spoilt rotten
Will they cry when they hit bottom?
Heaven knows who can survive
This simple country kind of life

The Simple Life Trivia

Nicole Richie was not the first choice to be Paris Hilton's co-star on The Simple Life. The show's producers originally asked Paris' sister Nicky Hilton to team up with her. When Nicky turned it down, Paris' best friend (at the time) became the most obvious choice.

One episode of The Simple Life was supposed to have taken place at a school but the uproar from parents prevented that from occuring.
