Barenaked Ladies', "If I Had A Million Dollars"
The Funny Lyrics:
I'd buy you a green dress,
but not a real green dress,
that's cruel.
but not a real green dress,
that's cruel.
Why They're funny:
Why is a green dress cruel? Is he insinuating that she does not look good in green? And why a fake dress?

Barenaked Ladies', "One Week"
The Funny Lyrics:
I'm like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Because I'm all about value
Why They're funny:
What can they be suggesting about the lovely LeAnn? I notice she hasn't sued them for namedropping, so whatever it is it must be true.

Barenaked Ladies', "One Week"
The Funny Lyrics:
Like Kurisawa I make mad films
'Kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samuri
'Kay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samuri
Why They're funny:
He says he makes mad films... okay maybe not. But he envisions his masterpieces involving Japanese warriors, probably with cheesy action scenes too. Just picturing the movie makes me laugh.
