It is the opposite of what is expected.

How is that any different from the other scenarios in the song? At a minimum, I think Mr. Play It Safe's plane crashing is also unexpected. Possibly also a late death row pardon. Or a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break.

No, not "unexpected". Irony refers to the very opposite of what one would expect, not merely the unexpected.
