I was thinking...Alanis could use her own board on the forum. Not only is she the single greatest musical artist of all time and an absolute genuis at songwriting, but she is a role model for the ages. She is fun, mischievious and far better looking than Alicia Silverstone or Courtney Cox. Plus, she's earned the right to have her own board here. After all, she has influenced millions on the internet and often posts on forums just like this. I'm sure she'd appreciate this "token" and Alanis-Worthy effort by the people of this forum.

So... what do you guys think?

The song "Ironic" just came up on shuffle play in iTunes.

It renders all of your "greatest songwriter" claims completely invalid.

Big thumbs down for me.

Eugh.

Unc's just met the man of his dreams...and then been introduced to his beautiful wife - and I shudder to think about what he's going to do with the ten thousand spoons....

I voted POSITIVELY YES, however I'm not going to do it.

Unless Jacob wants to convert his fanclub to an Alanis board, and edit all the existing threads to make them about Alanis rather than him.

BLASPAHMEY!! REPENT YE SINNER!!

That's not gonna happen. But thanks for the thought. Btw, I hope Alanis never reads your post..it would break her heart in 2.


Or not!

This is my loving spoof of Alanis' all-time-classic song:

IRONIC

Dedicated to Uncle Twitchy...

My (Totally unworthy) version is:
MORONIC

A gold band lost in a grate
I won the lottery
Threw the ticket away
It's a black vine on your garden gate
It's a beg your pardon
When there's nothing to say

Isn't it moronic... don't you think

It's like plain frosted wedding cake
It's a quick bite when you're already late
It's a cream pie when you've already ate
The food that throws off... your figure

Miss's Play It Straight was afraid of mice
She packed her own plates
And kissed off for a bite
She wasted the whole d**n night
Tryin' to beat that fright
And as the rain splashed down
She thought Well isn't this ice...

And isn't it moronic... don't you think

It's like plain frosted wedding cake
It's a quick bite when you're already late
It's a cream pie when you've already ate
The food that throws off... your figure

Well mice have a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
When you're near the sink, one day
And they give you such a fright

And mice have a funky way
Of making you doubt, when
You think everything's a song
And every tune blows up in your face

A trapping scam, but you're already late
A no-coaxing sign in your kitchenette space
It's like ten thousand rooms
But all you see is the night
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful mice

And isn't it moronic... don't you think
A little too moronic... and yeah I really do think...

It's like plain frosted wedding cake
It's a quick bite when you're already late
It's a cream pie when you've already ate
The food that throws off... your figure

Mice have a funny way of sneaking up on you

Mice have a funny, funny way of freaking you out
Freaking you out ...

IRONIC - Original Lyrics By Alanis Morissette

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
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 d**n 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

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand sthingys when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think?
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do 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

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

It's not the lyrical content so much as her annoying voice that I don't care for.

No.

All Uncle Twitchy needs is a knife.

♫ Here is a knife
Here is a pointy daggery knife
Here is a knife
And it's pointing to you ♪

She's toned down her high pitch wail over the years. She's much more conservative, vocally. Besides, I'll bet if she ever heard your Beatles remakings that she would speak very positively of them. She's got a flair for creative works.

Also, she defends musicians and writers and speaks out against illegal downloading. Not to mention the fact that she's a squeaky clean citizen. she has never been arrested; doesn't use drugs; doesn't drink to excess and is kind to both people and the animal kingdom. She has a lot of great qualites and is a great role model. People tend to remember her or criticise her for "You Oughta Know" and it's heartfelt lyrics. And "Ironic" because it's not ironic...or real examples of irony. Well, maybe she did that on purpose. On her next Cd she wrote a song called "Unsent" about letters she sent to former boyfriends...so maybe she knew what she was doing all along.

Should I call Alanis and tell her to lock the front door?

I respect your viewpoint. Thank you for participating in this poll.


*** Privately weeps unabashedly ***

So I can draw the conclusion that:

Ironic = Moronic

Nope. Moronic is just a gentle spoof of Ironic about a woman who is afraid of mice and moves from town to town living out of hotels while fleeing her mice-infested home, Your Honor.


I hope that clears things up for you.

Thank you, Holt.

This is the chick you wanted me to give all my stuff to, right?

Ummm...well...





Just give ME all your stuff and I'll be sure to pass it on to her.

I thought Alanis got wiped out in the retcon.
