I thought it was cute - they're not super-talented, but so many people complain about the examples in that song and these girls finally decided to fix it.
An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought... it figures
Oh my God, what is this, about 15 years too late? Still, I'm glad SOMEONE did it. That stupid song always bugged the hell out of me because nothing in the lyrics was actually ironic, just the diametric opposite of each thing she was moaning about.
Morissette was always a pretentious idiot. Enraged that that the ugly boring guy from that Olsen Twins show no longer wanted to shag you? Right.
Alanis Morissette thinks you're a bore. Ironic? No. You're just a bore.

I prefer You Oughta Know. No irony, just rage, and angst, and blow jobs.
ReplyDeleteTotally with you, Jenn. I was just trying to stay on topic.
