If i had a million dollars


The song if I had a million dollars by the bare naked ladies (who, if you don’t know, are actually men) can cure any sadness. This song is fun to listen to because the lyrics are very random and funny, yet still very catchy and creative. The combination of singing and talking makes it even more enjoyable because it makes the song more casual and personal to the listener.

 If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars
Now, we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That’s right, all the fanciest ke... dijon ketchups!
Mmmmmm, Mmmm-Hmmm

            I like this part of the song because it just makes me laugh. This song is just a feel good song if you are ever feeling down just listen to this song and it will bring a smile to your face. Whenever I listen to this song I always think of how fun this must have been to write. Just a few best friends/band mates sat down and wrote the most random song, knowing that it would bring happiness and giggles to whoever listens to it. That just sounds like it would be a great job, getting to make so many people happy while enjoying yourself and acting goofy.


If I had a million dollars
I’d buy your love

                     This part of the song also shows the still “romantic” side because it cute that someone would try to use money to buy love. This part of the song manages to be serious, yet funny.

                     Some fun facts about this “if I had a million dollars” by the bare naked ladies.

                     When the bare naked ladies sang the part of the song “But we would eat craft dinner” fans used to throw macaroni and cheese on the stage, at first it was cute but it got very annoying. Unstead the band asked the fans to donate Kraft dinner at the local food bank.

                     They sing the line “I’d buy you John Merrick’s remains” it refers to the “elephant man”. He had a disease that caused him to be very deformed. Sometimes when the band is performing they will change the words to “I’d buy you John Davison’s remains” he was a goalie for the New York ranger’s hockey team. The bare naked ladies love hockey.  (426)
