Brilio.net/en - Who hasnt heard of Alanis Morissettes song Ironic? The song was a massive hit in 1995 and became a top five hit in Australia, Canada, the U.S., and Norway. It was also nominated for two Grammys and the video featuring Morissette singing ina large automobilewas nominated for six MTV video music awards. The song has made some pedants across the English-speaking world complaint for being about coincidences, not irony.
Twenty years later, Morissette updated her song with the help of James Corden from The Late Late Show. Together they try to reflect on modern problems, such as racism, dieting, vaping, and Southwest flights. They also mention the uses of social media and apps like Facebook, Tinder, Snapchat, Netflix, Twitter, Amazon and so on. Of the original song she made fun by singing, Its singing Ironic,but there are no ironies / and who wouldve thought it figures?
Below are the new lyrics that I bet will make you sing-a-long too when reading:
An old friend sends you a Facebook request
You only find out theyre racist after you accept
Theres free office cake on the first day of your diet
Its like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it
And isnt it ironic, dont you think?
Its like swiping left on your future soulmate
Its a Snapchat that you wish you had saved
Its a funny tweet that nobody faves
And who wouldve thought it figures
Its a traffic jam when you try to use Waze
A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape
Its 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
Its singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
And isnt it ironic, dont you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
Its like youre first class on a Southwest plane
Then you realize that every seat is the same
Its like Amazon but your package never came
And who wouldve thought it figures
Its like Netflix but you own DVDs
Its a free ride but your Ubers down the street
Its singing Ironic, but there are no ironies
And who wouldve thought it figures
