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.”
I feel like I’m missing some important context XD

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