I wonder if she's got that cross-eyed bear that I gave to her...

Best lyrics misinterpretation of that decade.

I am reasonably certain I have been to the theatre where she went down on that guy.
This is the most interesting fact about my life.

When contacted for comment, Morissette responded:
"Can confirm! I was giving him the side-eye."

This song was the absolute bomb to play on drums in Rock Band. I really loved the snare / bass drum flow with the hats.
-
I believe you can thank Taylor Hawkins for that. I know he was her tour drummer, but I'm pretty sure he wrote drum parts during his time with her, as well.

Saw Alanis Morisette on Austin City Limits recently. She's still got it. And the Jagged Little Pill musical was amazing. Definitely what some would consider very "woke", but Broadway doesn't usually attract the anti-woke crowd.
Remind me what Uncle Joey is doing now?

The absolute shit show that occurred when my city's local theater group (of which I am a part) decided to hold auditions for Rent...
People who had been happily performing side by side with openly gay and trans cast members were suddenly pulling out bibles to quote scripture during meetings and getting "prayer circles" to surround the theater when they rehearsed...
Many friendships ended that year. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Edit: I agree with you, this just gave me a chuckle due to my own personal experience with a small number of people that are not representative of a whole.

I also love the cartoon The Great North where the daughter has the imaginary best friend Alanis.

My first thought, when hearing about Alanis Morissette is, "Oh! God!"
And then immediately after that, "Maybe I should go play some skeeball."

Deeply under-rated comment.

Would she go down on you in a theater?

...about my car's extended warranty?

She was so much better when she was going by just her first name.

For those like me who don't listen to Alanis
You oughta know:
I want you to know
That I'm happy for you
I wish nothing, but
The best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide
No, and every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told
Me you'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but you're still alive
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well
Things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well
I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
But it was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you fuck her
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide
No, and every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but you're still alive
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
And you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back, I hope you feel it
Now can you feel it?
'Cause I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Why I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
I’ve heard this song a thousand times growing up and never actually listened to the words. Wild. Good stuff.
Important note: she's singing to Dave Coulier, Uncle Joey from Full house, who used Alanis to cheat on his wife.
Sometimes I wonder how many millennials have attachment disorders simply because we grew up with this song being pretty much inescapable for almost a decade.
Like, yeah, she’s talented but has anyone ever studied what it does to a young mind when you grow up in a culture that blasts its relationship drama in song format 24/7 everywhere from the car radio to the supermarket, followed by The Offspring’s The Kids Aren’t Alright and Linkin Park’s Crawling?
In chronological order, it reads like a descent into madness if you ask me.
Someone really fucked her over lol those lyrics are something
