_If I had a million dollars_, by The Barenaked Ladies _I Will Buy You a New Life_, by Everclear _Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots Of Money)_, by the Pet Shop Boys I would argue with **cochrane** , _Why don’t you do right?_ is the complaint of a woman whose man will not (can not?) support her in the fashion she wants. The implicit threat is that she’s going to leave him and find another man with more money. ---

“If I had a million dollars” - Barenaked Ladies If you really want to be pedantic, the official title is “If I had $1000000” which looks far far worse. At least have commas to let people easily see what number that is, right? edit: of course I spend too long verifying facts about the song and that no one else has posted it yet, and someone posts it as I’m doing that. ---
