I saw them on TV last night, talking about their upcoming Canadian Idol performance, and, um, they're really the same giant fucking dorks as they were 15 years ago. I almost respect that.

2. Twat o'Shanter

Yeah, that's fine.

But, do they still do that "it waas funny at the time" song "If I had a million dollars"?

The problem is that some of them look more obviously retarded than others, but if you stare at the more subtly retarded looking ones long enough, they actually look even more retarded.

Actually, to me the least retarded one is the fat guy in the middle - he looks like he's actually thinking "Eughhhh! Get these retards away from me."

If you like any of the BNL songs you will enjoy this album. I even caught my man humming it round the house and hes way too laid back for this stuff:). BNL are a fun band with catchy rhythms and smart lyrics. They get in your head and wont leave... I played this non stop when I bought it and 5 years later can still play it over and over and over and over. $1,000,000 is still the fave for me, we all dance around to that in our home. Their cynical world view coupled with bouncy beats brings a surprising amount of joy and fun to this album and I reckon you should just go get one!.

I went to college in Michigan, and my first week of school was spent hanging out around a bunch of kids from suburban Detroit who all seemed, inexplicably, to be huge Barenaked Ladies fans. I felt like I had stepped into a bizarro world. (I figured out the whole proximity-to-Canada thing -- same reason Michiganders like hockey so much -- but it was still weird.)

guy in lower left corner is obv the "evil genius" of the band

― renegade bus (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 14:47 (7 years ago) Permalink

Maybe he's trying to punch the genius waves back in through the top of his head. He looks like he thinks that's a pretty clever idea, actually.

you people are so lame. don't you have anything better to do than dis artists you don't like? I have been a barenakedladies fan for 10 years and they have more talent in their little finger's than any of you guys have. your just jealous that you don't know how to make good music like they do. you probably like blink 182 or green day. just go back to your mothers basement timmy because you probably live with her and listen to green day and have nothing better to do than be on the internet all day.

Apparently there was also a more moderate version of the cover:

The one thing I don't get is the Pepsi logo on both covers... Were they like sponsored by Pepsi or something?
