Remy: What are the Chances? (An IRS Love Song)

Remy weighs the odds of finding true love and, like a well-timed IRS hard drive failure, finds a higher power at work.

Approximately 2 minutes.

Written and performed by Remy. Video and graphics by Meredith Bragg. Music arranged by Ben Karlstrom.

LYRICS:

There's seven billion people
Walking on this world of ours
How I found the perfect girl
I think about the odds

I think somebody up above
had us exchanging glances
I mean, what are the chances?

It's like if victims of improper screenings
all had the same views
And the head guy at the agency
told Congress that ain't true
and it turns out when he said that
well, it really was a myth
and the lady in charge of it all
happened to plead the Fifth

Now while that's all coincidence
I don't think our romance is
I mean, what are the chances?

Now while we're on the subject
of stories no one buys
You can't tell me how we met
ain't just fate in disguise

Regardless how improbable
it seems that our romance is
What are the chances?

It's like if an impartial agency
with no corrupt connections
Leaked private tax returns which
were then used to sway elections

and the hard drive of the lady
at the center of the buzzing
conveniently lost all the emails
from the time in question

and the Congress asked for records
from a second dude as well
but it turns out that there weren't any cuz
his hard drive crashed as well

so they tried to get some records from a
third person and fourth
but would't you know their hard drives crashed
so no emails of course

and a fifth person and six person
were focused on for help
and they finally found documents
ha, hard drives crashed as well

And a seventh guy investigated
Wait, really....

[Cleopas]

Totally got me with the Hillary ad, just as I hovered my mouse, Remy helped me out by clicking it for me. Great song too!

[JuicyJerm]

Perfect sums it up for people who don't know what that scandal is about. Which most do not. Which is terrifying.

[Ryan-tspy]

I was going to write a long post about how much I liked the song and how true it is, but I decided only two things needed saying to Remy. 

You're awesome. Never stop.

[WakeRunSleep]

Why does this not have a million hits?

[SpartacusColo]

Love songs always bring a tear to my eye.... /sigh.

[robey]

It’s clear why he hasn’t been favored by the YouTube algorithm. Because he’s fair.

[leonemaledetto]

Remember when this was one of our top 5 problems?

[chadgrimwell]

I came from MTGRemy and boy, I never knew Remy have an old channel full of golds.

[geoffreyforbes]

Damn it! You made me pause the video when I tried to rid the screen of the Hillary ad! That's a great touch!!

[LibertyEver]

I actually tried to click the X box to make the Hillary Clinton Hard Choices book pop-up ad go away.  Remy rules!  Please keep pointing at the naked emperors and laughing.  If not for the satire, these gross violations of the public trust would make me crazy.

[lalumpala]

As much as I love these, I can only imagine Remy singing about finding change in his couch to buy McDonald’s.

[larryspencer]

This is Remy's best yet.  This one could get lamestream media airtime.

[wendygoerl]

This is so good, it's my first ever channel subscription!

[firearmsstudent]

Hillary: Hard drive crashes... quick, write that down!

[MrVulcanator]

Is that the eight pointed star of Chaos on his shirt?

[dirtynewby]

Usually dont like country but who would dislike this

[Mindmaid]

Thank you Remy for your cleverly entertaining comments about the horrors of our government.

[MrHatoi]

Remember when one tape being erased was enough to get a president brought up on impeachment charges for obstruction of justice?

[kellybly]

What is this song based on? I really like the tune.

Even if the hardrives "crashed, " a forensic team should still be able to recover the data.
