| BNL sings this song! |

| Name: Drew | 2008-08-27 |
Okay, enough with Jimmy Buffett. He did not write/sing this song. It has always been Barenaked Ladies, a great band from Ontario, Canada. Case closed.
See Wikipedia for the whole story of the song:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Had_$1000000
As for the "dollar dance" is a tradition in Easter Europe, some parts of North America and elsewhere. Again, see Wikipedia for the full description:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_dance
Peace,
Drew.
PS: This is still NOT a good song for a wedding. |

I'm sorry, but this is NOT a good song for a wedding: "I'd buy your love", what the heck?
Yes, is a nice tune, very catchy and I love BNL, but you have to choose a song based on the lyrics also. Just my 2¢ worth. |
| THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!! |
|---|
| Name: Captain Whitney | 2008-06-19 |
| I love this song! I was searching for the lyrics to "If I had a Million Ducats", and I just had to refresh my memory as to the words to the real song -- it's just as funny! ♥ Barenaked Ladies! |

| Name: Trevor | 2007-11-19 |
| Just come back from a wedding that was held in St Pauls Cathedral,London and the happy couple had this as their tune. All their work colleagues knew the words which made it even funnier. Never laughed so much at the lyrics to a song for a long time. Just going to download it myself now to remind me of a great wedding. |
| It's the best |

| Name: Camilla | 2007-11-15 |

| money dance clarification |
|---|
| Name: LSUjen | 2007-03-31 |
| Let me clarify -- the bide ad groom start off dancing together than someone "cuts in." When they cut-in, they pin money (usually a dollar bill, maybe more depending on the relationship) to the bride or groom's attire. It's considered a "care package" to help them on their honeymoon or new home... whatever. As I stated earlier, It's mostly a South Louisiana thing. Many people do find it tacky. Sooooo,,,, just don't have one! Here's a little humor -- at my older brother's wedding, I TOOK money off of his tux, saying, "this is for all thos CDs you stole, this is for the money you borrowed & never returned...." They have a picture of it in their wedding albulm. Wouldn't ya know it? My friggin' Dad made me give it all back!!! Hey, It's YOUR day -- do what makes YOU happy. |

| What is a dollar dance song? im confused... |
| Gets peoples attention |
|---|
| Name: Pam | 2006-06-30 |
| I was wondering how to include BNL into my wedding. This is the best song and the perfect way to sneak in my favorite band since most of their other song lyrics are inappropriate for wedding events. I can't wait to hear it at my wedding!!! |
| Who wrote it Who sings it And why |
|---|
| Name: Jon | 2006-06-29 |
I'm not certain who wrote it but Steve Goodman sings it (very well). He was a 70's & 80's male county/folk artist you'd either love or not. He's awesome.
As far as your Dollor dance song: any you'd like would do, but this song reminds folks but its refrain. And it is not the money you get at that dance, its the attendance and attention of those friends: cherish them, call them to stop by and laugh at (wedding pictures, and please bring theirs). And hug them when they have to go home. |

| Barenaked Ladies. |
|---|
| Name: winner | 2006-03-10 |
| Look, I don't know what some of you are talking about. It was absolutely, without a doubt, Barenaked Ladies, circa 1996. You think Jimmy Buffet could come up with something as creative as this song? As if. |
| BNL Copied it |
|---|
| Name: shymouse | 2006-02-08 |
| BNL did NOT sing the original..I HAVE the original an it was WAY before THEIR time!! |
| It was BNL. Deal with it. |
|---|
| Name: Jamie | 2006-01-22 |
| The song is, was, and always will be a BNL song. No one sang it before, unless they went ahead in time, stole the song, came back and claimed it under false pretenses. Which is approximately as likely as you finding someone else's credits on the song. |

I am 100% positive that someone sang "If I Had A Million Dollars" BEFORE the bnl did. It was in the 70s or 80s. If anyone knows who sang it first, or can find out, would u please let me know?! Thanks A Million :P
