The song is awesome and so is the idea that it might possibly rain shoes. If there was an actual possibility that this would occur, I'd invest in a pickup truck though.

For instance, I probably need a huge trunk JUST IN CASE someday it's raining shoes. I don't want to be the only one with no cargo space in which to hoard them, right? The 'just in case' concept is also somewhat stereotypical, but I find myself (a woman by most definitions) falling for it time and again. Marketers, apparently, have found it to be a real gold mine.
