I always thought they chose the wrong Bruce Cockburn song to cover.


[to the tune of "If I Had a Million Dollars", by The Bare Naked Ladies]

Here they come, the helicopters
  (here they come those crazy 'copters!)
It's the second time today
  (why do they all come twice each day?)
All the villagers, they scatter
  (run and hide, they better scatter!)
And just hope they go away

... If I had a rocket launcher
  (if I had a rocket launcher!)
If I had a rocket launcher
  (bet I'd use that rocket launcher!)
If I had a rocket laaaaaaauuuunnnnchhher
Some sum-o-b*tch would die :p

What about a K-Car?

I feel like I'm missing some important context XD

There's a song by the '90s/'00s band Barenaked Ladies called "If I Had $1000000." It's about how the singer would buy anything for his love if he had the money to do it; a house, some furniture, a treehouse.

But it's a comedy song, so there's some funny banter; like the fact that he'd buy his love some art—a Picasso or a Garfunkel, and most relevant for this meme, while he wants to buy his love a fur coat, he clarifies "but not a real fur coat, that's cruel." Later that joke is called back as he says he'd buy his love "a green dress / but not a real green dress, that's cruel."

It's a song. I remember it from my childhood.

I'm in the same boat. This type of post makes me feel like I'm having a stroke

I gave an explanation here. You might be either too young or too old for this meme; it's somewhat niche, temporally.

I think they're calling it turf now.
