Thanks, and Another Query
Thanks, all. You've given me confidence that Neko can overhear a message left on Jane's answering machine. (Poor Jane!)
Next question: Name an Alanis Morisette song. Or let me know, "Alanis who?"
Mindy, who thought she was being obvious in one passage, but whose first reader wrote, "Huh?"

Perzactly.

Thank U

Hand In My Pocket
You Learn
All from the Jagged Little Pill album. Ironic and Hand In My Pocket were the radio plays, Head Over Feet my fave from the album, You Learn a good one as well.
Want the complete list? ;)
Verse 1: An old man turned 98 / He won the lottery and died the next day
Verse 2: 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 plan crashed down he thought/'well isn't this nice...'
The whole song is about the irony of how life takes a turn when you least expect it--how things just don't work out as expected.
Also, Jagged Little Pill is the name of the album and is used as a line in a song (You Learn), but is not a song itself.
<~~~ owns the CD with the lyrics printed inside. ;)
I really did know that. Truly.
The song itself could be considered ironic because it's not about actual irony. I've argued this point while drunk quite a bit...
You are not the only person I know to make this valid point.
Thank you
You oughta know
Let's do it Let's fall in love (from delovely)
"Jagged Little Pill" (also the name of her first album)
"One hand in my Pocket"
"All I Really Know"
"You Oughta Know"
These are off the top of my head. I have the Jagged Little Pill CD somewhere, I should burn some songs to my player. I liked that album.
I remember little Alanis when she was on 'You can't do that on Television' on Nickelodeon.
Actually have heard of her, but I couldn't name a song of hers to save my life. Is a "her", yes?
I'm old. Try Grace Slick or Janis Joplin on me...
Hand in my pocket is good, too.
You Oughta Know.
Hands Clean.
You owe me nothing in return.
Oh wait, you only wanted one.}:P

Psst. It's Alanis Morissette...double S, double T :)
(IMO, the angriest song on her first album, give or take You Oughtta Know)
It's funny what we think everybody knows.
Was it a "You Can't Do That on Television" reference?

Head over Feet is my fave, but Hands Clean has a special meaning for me too.

I hate Alanis Morrissette, but even I've heard of that one :)
If age is a relevant data point here, I'm 52, but Canadian... we tend to get a little worked up when one of our own makes it big on the international scene.
