CINCINNATI, OH. (Top40 Charts/ GAIN) Today Gain launches the "Smell Like a Million Bucks Contest" to give people across the country a chance to win one million dollars, turning one lucky winner's dreams into a reality. To help spread the word about the contest, Gain enlisted the help of alternative rock band, Barenaked Ladies, who are largely known for their hit "If I Had a Million Dollars." The band has re-recorded a new version of the song, "If I Gained a Million Dollars," which includes lyrics inspired by the dreams and wishes of Gain fans.
"Gain reached out to us, and said they'd like to have some fun with our song, 'If I Had a Million Dollars,' and wondered if we'd like to help them give some lucky person a million dollars! That sounded pretty fresh," said Ed Robertson, lead vocalist of Barenaked Ladies.
The release of "If I Gained a Million Dollars" coincides with the launch of the Smell Like a Million Bucks Contest, which celebrates the amazing, fresh scent of Gain laundry products and their ability to make you smell like a million bucks.
