Answers: In the song "If I Had a Million Dollars" by the Barenaked Ladies, when he says "Well, I'd buy you a green dress, but not a real green dress, that's cruel", Why is a green dress cruel? The colour? Or is there some cliche that I'm missing out on over here?

Because they're both dudes, and dudes don't look good in dresses.

Also, green dresses are hideously ugly and cause people who look at them pain.

its a joke liten to the rest of the song

LOL! I just asked my mom that last night. I think it's because green is apparently an ugly colour, soooooo.... yeah..

---

They just say that because previously in the song they say "but not a real fur coat, thats cruel". It's just a joke.

---

it might be just because it is not a nice colour...
