Topic: If I Had A Million Dollars (Barenaked Ladies)

I just heard this song, probably for the first and last time(?).  I was shocked to hear this:

And if I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars
Well, I’d buy you a K-Car
A nice Reliant automobile

When that song was popular here in Canada, it was on the radio every 6.3 minutes, on every station, every day, for a year

Re: If I Had A Million Dollars (Barenaked Ladies)

you've never heard that song?

it came out when i was in high school and it played on top 40 radio just about every half hour.....(damn, i'm old)


i hear it daily on Pandora, and I don't even have a BNL station in the shuffle.

Apparently the K needs a stuffed monkey in BNL t-shirt?

I know BNL and I was in HS when they were putting out hits in the late 90s (in the US), but I don't remember that song at all!

Perhaps this could be a theme somewhere in the K it forward progression.  Show up in a not-real green dress, with dijon ketchup and pre-wrapped bacon?

I didn't get two words into the post title before I sang to myself "....I'd buy a green dress, but not a real green dress because that's cruel"......
