Inspired by the Marginal Revolution thread giving advice on what to do if you find yourself suddenly transported back to Europe 1000 years ago with nothing but the clothes on your back. The suggestions ranged from funny to serious, and ludicrous to ludicrouser. Nonetheless, I spent the next two days worried that I wasn t prepared for this eventuality. (Yes, I know there s something wrong with me.) After perusing many of the suggestions on the original thread on Marginal Revolution as well as the side thread on kottke.org, I realized the only way to deal with this was to put this collective intelligence to music. This song was kind of accidental. I have several others in the works, but this just sort of popped up on the piano as we were about to leave the house. I jotted it down quickly (correct I m unable to memorize 4 chords) and I kept obsessing about this thread so the only logical conclusion was to put the music and topic together. I did my best to capture as many of the best comments as possible but 3:26 isn t a huge canvas. I m particularly sad that I never figured out a way to mention how bad the people must have smelled, or my plan to get rich selling soap.
