Survey
In the mid nineties, pop act The Tamperer brought out a record with the refrain "If you buy this record your life will be better." The refrain provided the title, too.

(UPDATE: Yes: this is what I mean in all its glory)

Did anyone actually do this, and were their lives improved? Or were they gullible fools? I think we should be told.

And I hope they kept the receipt for a full refund.

I suppose
...if you bought every single copy and destroyed them all, then everybody's life would be improved by not having to listen to the song ever again.

Horrific
I made my life better by neither buying the single nor allowing myself to listen to it on the radio.

A true aural travesty.

I can neither prove nor dispell the statement regarding that song...
Because on the one side...I never bought the record.

but on the other side - my life has gone steadily downhill ever since.

maybe the non-purchase of that single was the sole contributing factor for my decline?

We will never know
