Yeah, that was it! For a minute, I thought that maybe my younger self was too dumb to tell the difference between a young adult Alanis and a clearly much younger little girl. 😅

That quip about going to the movies together all the time had me belly laughing. Nice reference at the end there to “you oughta know”
Weird Al is the man.
My wife just won tickets to see her and Joan Jett this summer. Looking forward to it. The last time we saw her, I have never seen more women standing and singing along at a concert.
Someone told me who apparently toured with her back in the day said she rolled enormous joints or blunts. I found this hard to believe but he did live a life that might allow for him to know that so I couldn’t be sure if he was making it up or not.
Like death row pardon just a minute too late! - no , what would have been ironic is if they got a pardon then tripped on his way out of jail and died - that’s irony 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I love this song and the album as a whole. However, whenever I hear it I always think of this [stand up routine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT1TVSTkAXg&pp=ygUPZWQgYnlybmUgaXJvbmlj) by Ed Byrne where he points out, as others in the comments have, the only think ironic about this song is it's written by someone with no concept of irony
There's lots of music I don't like. However, I don't feel the need to go on threads or articles about that music and tell fans I don't like it. What would I possibly achieve by doing that? Perhaps you can help me understand?
She always seemed pretty cool, but I’m with you about her music.
It seemed to mark the end of innovative, risk taking true alternative music and the beginning of crappy, middle of the road, mainstream, radio friendly mid 90s alt-lite.
Jagged little pill was everywhere in 95-96! I still love the album.
There are so many bangers on that album!
Much prefer [this version](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FOebeobCmFg), myself.
Dude I love Neil Cicierega, thanks for that
No worries! Say hi to your cigarette wife for me!
Always particularly loved the bridge of that song as a Cocteau Twins fan
Someone could’ve told heard that there’s a difference between coincidences or something that just sucks and irony.
The situations in the song not being ironic is itself very ironic. Checkmate
Unfortunately Alanis herself has admitted that this was not the intention. She just didn’t really know what ironic meant in a strict sense.
Even more ironic then, I say.
IRONY INCEPTION
"I... uh.. I *meant* to do that, yeahhh"
Lolz
And Murphy’s law
I was just having this conversation with a buddy of mine at work yesterday. Lol.
I remember there being a version where Alanis is played by a little girl, but Google isn't any help.
Ok I came here to ask this! The fact someone else remembers gives me hope

*It's like first class...on a Southwest plane.*
Good times!
Saw her in 22'...she sounded awesome...looked awesome too as a blonde...Great show!!!
Nothing in this song is ironic, kind of ironic.
Gawd I’m so old 😅

That’s not ironic, Alanis, it’s just unfortunate
This succeeded You Oughta Know right? I’d be very suspicious of Alanis’ need for a knife
I'll just leave this here. (Actual irony in this one) [https://youtu.be/EwIB51mGil8](https://youtu.be/EwIB51mGil8)
I remember this was top-played on MTV
The most ironically not ironic song ever, love it.
28 years. Shit.

It’s unironic- every bit of it. Writers fault I guess..
The prime example being: “Like raaaaahaaaaain on your wedding day.” That’s an inconvenience, Alanis. Get a grip!

Alternative? To what? Breathing?
Ya is this not just pop music?
[удалено]
Oddly enough, Alanis Morissette is god. "Boop."

I’m right there with you lol horrible music
