In addition to Female Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for “’80s Ladies,” she was also nominated for Song of the Year for “Do Ya,’” Single of the Year (“Do Ya’”) and the Horizon Award.

 If I Had $1000000 by Barenaked Ladies Songfacts
Barenaked Ladies now ask that instead of pelting the band with boxes of Kraft Dinner, all the boxes be collected at the door of the concert and it all gets donated to a local food bank in each city.
The group used to close many of their concerts with this, followed by a big rap number taking lyrics from a handful of popular songs and beatboxing along with some interesting late-'80s hip hop choreography.
In the song they said "I'd buy you a K Car, a nice reliant automobile." as an homage to a leaders car they used to sing about when in Scouts in Toronto as kids.

We’re not one of those bands, but we’re bigger fun - different than your 80s band and way different than the “classic rock” outfits that don’t keep in touch with what today’s club and party crowds want to hear.

 The Village Voice: Status Ain't Hood
The worst of the obligatory cookie-cutter song-categories is generally the for-the-ladies song.
This one is his heartfelt story of how he had to leave a girl because she didn't understand that he's a big rap star and so he just happens to attract tons of women and he can't understand how that could possibly bother her.
But he always approaches the songs with a sort of warm openheartedness; he does, after all, love 70s soul music, woozy melodies and all, and this song has a lot more to do with that lineage than a hallucinatory banger like "Shaky Dog" does.

Not only are they riding the release of Maroon, their deepest and best set of songs to date, but a highly entertaining movie called Barenaked in America (directed by avid BNL fan Jason Priestley), which follows the band on tour after the release of Stunt, is just hitting theaters.
A song like "Sell Sell Sell," if it were written a few years ago, would have been packed with concrete references to pop culture.
I think part of our strength in writing lyrics together is the fact that we move the song forward in the same way we do it on stage, the same way we complete each other’s sentences or continue raps or move the show forward.

On the first disc alone eight of the 11 songs are from their two most recent studio albums, which makes for a very boring sound.
This is compared to five minutes being the average length of a song on the first disc.
Also on the second disc is a rocking version of a Dave Matthews Band concert classic, "All Along the Watchtower." The song starts off with the normal introduction, in which the crowd screams in between the musical breaks and then enters into a stunning electric guitar solo in the middle.

They had only been crafting their freewheeling musical perfection since their inception in the late '80s, so the Barenaked Ladies were about due.
Barenaked Ladies might not have been distracted by their previous accolades, but Maroon hints at the band's hesitation to refrain from repetition.
But never despair, Maroon does indicate the band's impeccable musical brightness and playful creativity, specifically on songs such as "Falling for the First Time" and "Conventioneers." They toy around with adult responsibility and the fear of conflict with such attractive wit, and the messages are right on.

Lynne's songs may come from real life, but he is living a dream that began as a seventh-grader in Statesville, where he mowed lawns to earn enough money to buy his first guitar.

The song is very peaceful, and lets you pause to reflect on what's been said in the previous songs.

Unlike their name, The Ladies & Gentlemen do not feature any ladies in the band, yet the all-male group can certainly not be described as gentlemen either!
Since forming less than 2 years ago The Ladies & Gentlemen have already performed with Iggy Pop, Jet, Louis XIV, The Dead 60's, The Cramps, Superdrag, Cheap Trick, We Are Scientists, and Say Hi To Your Mom, to name just a few.
Many of the tracks have a similar sound, which made it hard for me to distinguish one song from another, but three stand out: Favorite Songs for me are "Nobody Home", "I Luv U, I Hate You", and especially "Had Me at Hello".
