So Brad Paisley has a lot of unlikely scenerios in his song "I'll Take You Back". So let's assign the odds; your mileage
"I'll Take You Back"Murakami writes surreal novels while running, and I try to come up with odds to the Paisley tune in my head. Oy vey.
When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road [depends how far train from road]
And it's summer time in Texas
And they're playing in the snow [40,000-to-1]
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts [infinity-1]
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
Let's say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head
And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said [could happen]
I lose my better judgment and I take up smoking crack [10,000-1]
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
[Chorus]
Go on keep trying
Come on keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
It's like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa
When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars [3-1]
When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard [100-1]
And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap [1,000,000,000-1]
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
[Repeat chorus]
The day that old morning sun rises in the west [Infinity-1]
And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts [5,000-1]
When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain't worth jack [10-1]*
Right then, that's when
I'll take you back
[Repeat chorus]
It's like music
To hear you bawling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa
* - I heard an urban legend about a guy who made a car run on water but the oil companies killed him.
