  • This song was released in 1992, when a million dollars was a lot of money and Mark Zuckerberg hadn't even made it into high school yet. The world's landscape and economy has drastically changed since then, so I thought it might be a good idea to give this old classic a bit of a refresh, outlining what a million dollars could do by today's prices. And let me tell you, it's not anywhere near what it used to be. A million dollars today has the purchasing power of what roughly $448,000 would have back then - conversely a million 1992 dollars is worth almost 2.2 million today. Enjoy, and don't forget copyrights are a bxtch! :)

    Well done all around. Nice vocals both in terms of quality and mimicking BNL's sound.
    Now in 2024, I'd change the lyric from "not from Amazon" to "not from Temu".

    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d finance a house, that’s a good down payment on a house
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    I’d buy you furniture for your house
    Maybe some nice folding chairs from IKEA
    And if I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    I’d buy you a used car
    Nissan Altimas are going for cheap
    And if I had a million dollars,
    I’d buy your love
    If I had a million dollars
    I’d try to find a house with a yard
    If I had a million dollars
    And go broke trying to find a good lawn mower
    If I had a million dollars
    Scratch and dent a smart fridge from a consignment shop somewhere
    Whoa, you want the smart fridge? That’s WAY too much money.
    Yeah, you’re probably right.
    Mini fridge might be the way to go.
    But the electricity!
    Maybe we’ll just… keep our food in the garage then.
    Ha, bold of you to assume we’d have food AND a garage.
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d buy you a tank of gas
    But not the premium, that’s cruel
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d buy you a cat
    We can’t afford to feed the cat
    And if I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d buy you toilet paper and eggs
    Oh, now we’re really burning some cash
    And if I had a million dollars,
    I’d buy your love
    If I had a million dollars
    Maybe we could finally go to the store
    If I had a million dollars
    We could even Uber there ‘cause it costs more
    If I had a million dollars
    We wouldn’t have to eat Ramen Noodles for dinner
    But we would eat Ramen Noodles.
    Of course we would, have you seen the price of actual food lately?
    We’d be broke instantly.
    I can’t even imagine what it’d be like to get Ramen Noodles at a restaurant.
    Does anyone even go out to eat anymore?
    Jeff Bezos probably does.
    Gross.
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    I’d buy you a green dress
    But not from Amazon, that’s cruel
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d buy you some art
    NFT’s or some random girl’s OnlyFans
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    Well I’d buy you some groceries
    Haven’t you always wanted some groceries?
    And if I had a million dollars,
    I’d buy your love
    (Oh no)
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    If I had a million dollars
    (If I had a million dollars)
    If I had 448,000 dollars
    I’d still be broke
