This album blew my mind back in the day. A woman, singing like THAT? Cursing, the subject matter, the rawness; there'd never been anything on mainstream radio like that before. It was eye-opening and life changing. I started listening to a wider variety of music, searching out things that didn’t get radio play, and the stuff on the radio grew in variety. Great moment in music history.
totally man, an absolutely enlightening album for a mass of men (who were listening). this song the best version of feminism most men have experienced haha and total compliment intended. JLP was outstanding wee album. Ahh to be young again lol
Also, Madonna signed her and allowed her to make this album. I don't believe men would have allowed her to make this. I'm sure even in the process men tried to get her to "tone it down". Imagine being able to feel like this. Anyone with this depth of visceral emotion can heal the world! Like Salt 'N Pepa said "to the lucky man whos up next, either treat or just step!"
Nah. Alanis Morissette was just riding the mainstream wave of post grunge, women's, alternative rock that was popular at the time. "Hole", "veruca salt", pretty much started that whole 90s trend
I give her such amazing credit for revealing her raw emotions and feelings; she bared her complete and utter soul and she left nothing on the table. This is the epitome of self expression, describing absolutely the most vulnerable moment in her life. This is the ultimate mic drop in musical history. That was so courageous. Bravo... my hat’s off to her..
Hmmm, I never thought she was bashing men. She was bashing a terrible EX who left her. No misandry from her lyrics at all. AND I must point out, that her lyrics are AWESOME!!!!! Poetic AND they tell a raw story. I've always thought this song had fantastic lyrics :D
Jagged Little Pill was is a masterpiece of anger, emotion, and female oppression. She broke down the mainstream door for women to be able to be angry and be honest and be on the charts just like the men. Its raw and real, we deserve to scream too. There wouldn't be bands like Kittie and Butcher Babies screaming and metal af without Alanis.
There were other women that did it years and even decades before... still one of my favorite albums ever, but please, history in music is really important when it comes to statements like that. Even in this album, to me she has a "much" better, and overall more relevant, song: "All I Really Want". That intro song alone, condenses and dissects everything you're about to ear during the entire album, and it is a brilliant song... not to mention one of the best " 3-failed-best-pushed-over-the-top" moments in recorded musical history... 3 or 4 "failed notes" (yet genius, considering the entire flow of the song), can be everyone's else joy to the ears.
Jesper Jansen um yeah the reason it’s feminist isn’t because she’s hurt it’s because she’s being honest about her pain and anger and saying what she has to say. Smh all these men all upset over a 90s song 😂
I don't care what anybody says. But, Alanis was the $hit back in the days! LOL Edgy, raw, emotions, great singer. She can mix pop, rock, r&B, a lil hip hop sound to it. She's good. Good videos from her back in the '90s. Pretty lady, too.
Little fun fact.. The band performing the music here is some of the best musicians in music. Matt Laug who played with Alice Cooper and Slashs Snakepit is on drums Dave Navarro who played with Janes Addiction and RHCP, played guitar Flea from RHCP on bass
"Where is she now?" "Oh, idk, maybe in jail" 🤣😂 She's living a quiet and peaceful life with her husband some rapper I've never heard of Souleye, they have 3 kids. He doesn't give her reasons to write songs like this anymore 😉🥰🤩
I don’t remember his real name but her husband graduated from Tantasqua Regional HS in MA, the same small school as my stepdaughter. I always wondered how the heck they might have met.
A true artist. She had a smash hit with this album but didn't get comfortable for a second, changed her sound up and kept rolling on her path. She never found the same mainstream success again, but she has consistantly put out great albums.
zetaboy33 she did with Under Rug Swept, it went #1 in 14 countries and her first single, Hands Clean hit the chart pop, rock, alternative rock, adult contemporary... and won the Juno for Album of the Year and best Production for Hands Clean, So Unsexy and Precious Illusions.
I'm a rock guy, and Alanis is dope. She literally was one the first women in the 90s who changed the course for women, not just in music either. Keep in mind the sound/lyrics were not expected or accept ( at the time it dropped) from women in the early 90s.
Back in the day, PJ harvey, courtney love, Dolores o' Riordan, Gwen Stefani, Shirley manson, Kim Gordon, they did a great job too. JLP is definitely one of the best albums ever, well written, great concept, sounds amazing til this day!
great video, though i wouldn't say she's bashing all men, she's letting out her anger for one man who hurt her. I think this song could be an anthem for any person who's been hurt in a relationship, regardless of gender.
Alanis is my girl. The 'scratch my nails down someone else's back' is about her having an orgasm with someone else - she hopes he feels bad about what he is missing out on. I used to sing the shit out of that song once upon a time. The Jagged Little Pill album is in my top 10 favs of all time. Nice stroll down memory lane - thank you again Gents.
Y’all are so awesome!! You can totally tell y’all are real genuine guys that have a want to step outside the box and learn and be open to all different types of music !! Keeps me coming back and curious on yalls thoughts. Much love from Arkansas❤️
I saw her live. She sounded exactly the same live a few years ago. She does the same odd body movements too. I think she still makes music and tours sometimes. She also made an appearance in the movie Dogma. You should do more early 90s alt. I think you'd like most of it.
Yes, i can also confirm that yes, it was Uncle Joey, aka Dave Coulier, she had tried to keep it secret, but that didn't last long...and yeah, he musta really done something grave to get such an amazing and vengeful piece of Art created and performed to commemorate Uncle Joey being Uncle Womanizer....Lesson Learned? Lord, you'd sure think so.
Another good classic from her is "Uninvited" You can hear the anger in that one, while she re,ains calm through the whole thing. (Also being in a minor key makes it feel dark).
That's not really an "anger" song as much as it's a tension song: a guy is relentlessly pursuing her and as much as she wants to resist, she discovers she can't. But yes, definitely a classic.
Just found your channel. Unreal. I've been getting chills re-discovering some old favorites (Danzig, Slayer, Tool, Sabbath, RATM, Van Hallen and on and on..) as you guys discover this gold mine of music.
I’ve not heard a more emotionally powerful vocal performance before or since, she’s laying her soul out, as well as her claws. As they say it’s also well produced. Check out her Saturday night live performance and it’s raw, visceral and powerful performance.
ahahaha u guys got me laughing at shit i never even knew was funny with this song. I mean i heard this song many times, but the way you guys are breaking it down is pure comedy in it's rawest form. Very very nice, you guys are naturals.
Go to the very last song on her album jagged little pill and let it play past the end and theres a hidden track. Best song on the album. total acapella. Haunting.
6:51 had me rolling! 🤣 I was a young adult back in the 90’s when this song came out. And now that I think about it, men really *did* seem to want to run and hide when this one came on the radio.
I could not believe you guys went here haha great job with it too! I love that you guys listen to lyrics, I am only 31 but feel like I am damn near 100 when kids talk about how good the music is nowadays... and I don't even hear like full thoughts. It was cool back in the day, when you listened to rappers and just music in general, the idea was to paint a picture. Now it is just beats with people making sounds for lyrics lol thank you for bringing a different approach to the music thing! Love your channel gentlemen!
It’s 2024 and she’s on tour now. Bet my 47 year old ass will be there when she comes to Texas. This dropped when I was 18, and I was never the same!!! As a young adult then, hearing this was such an eye opener. I hadn’t heard a woman express herself passionately before. It was incredible. Flea and Dave Navarro were in this track. 🔥
Ok, so a little of the background that I have compiled through the years: As stated before, this was an ode to her ex boyfriend. Allegedly, this ex was Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from Full House). Their breakup in the early 90s was apparently not great and he seems to have left her for an older woman. He is 15 years older than her and she was a teenager when they started their relationship and so it was her first major heartbreak... Hence the song... But I digress; when she wrote the major songs on this album and brought them to her label, the album somehow ended up in front of Madonna, head and founder of Maverick Records. From what I understand, Madonna thought You Oughta Know had major potential but the music was very underwhelming so she decided to reproduce it. She reached out to a couple up and coming musicians (who were, by the way, on the DL visionaries) but hadn't made it truly huge yet. So, instead of the plodding bassline that was originally written, Flea brought a spontaneity and an creativity that makes the song seem more stream of consciousness. And instead of the pedantic and boring guitar licks, Dave Navarro brought a wall of sound, stadium rock thickness to the sound and rounded out Morissette's sound. So, with 2 of the Red Hot Chili Peppers backing her up, her video hit MTV and took the world by storm.
Although neither Alanis or Dave publicly acknowledged this morsel, Bob Saget confirmed he was present at that "dinner" 🤷♀️ "Ironic" she's a multi Grammy artist...where's Dave!! 😂🤣
Big respect to you guys being open enough to listen to and value such diverse musical genres. Love it! That's why I immediately subscribed. You're also incredibly funny😂👌🏾
Here are the musicians on this track. It's no wonder that it is a standout on this very popular album. It's a weird nexus of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Alanis Morissette - vocals Glen Ballard - programming Dave Navarro - guitar Flea - bass Benmont Tench - organ Matt Laug - drums
Alanis Morissette is so awesome! In addition to being a major and important pioneer in music, Jagged Little Pill alone cemented her status as one of the greatest from the 90s(dare to say all time) and changed the course for future female musicians.
The thing is, whether or not it's a woman singing it for other women, it applies to every gender. Oh that verse that's filled with petty passive aggression: Everyone is that person. There are so many blokes who have been there and done that, that it doesn't bear thinking about. As men we're supposed to be all fucking mechanical logic machines: bollocks. Whether it shows or not, some of the thoughts that have gone through this woman's head, have gone through every bloke's head too.
IndustrialBonecraft well said (if I’m understanding you correctly). I hate the preconception that men ain’t supposed to feel emotion. Men can be hurt, angry, cry. It doesn’t make them any less of a man. In fact, it makes them more of a man if they can stop being a wuss bag and actually own their emotions.
I am a guy and I could relate to her emotions in this song and that's why it spoke to me when it came out. Everybody can relate to feeling anger about a previous relationship where the other person unloaded their issues on you and then just bailed. I think it happens to men and women alike.
This song is on an another level. The lyrics, the directiveness, the irony, the rawness. Incredibly written, just another level of writing... Honestly. Excellent writing!!!!!
I have never, ever listened to this song like this. The CD is in my collection since 1996 and this is the first time I really "listened" to the lyrics. Thank you guys!!
I saw Alanis in concert at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg a few years ago. She still sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!! It was an acoustic concert and she spoke with the audience in between songs. She sounded very happy with the place she was at in her life. Jagged Little Pill - the song and the album - were about the demise of the relationship she had just been in with an older, famous man (aka Dave Coulier aka Uncle Joey on Full House - she was around 18 and he was around 33 when they started dating). Alanis is now 45, happily married, and pregnant with her 3rd child - www.self.com/story/alanis-morissette/amp
Didn't expect Alanis Morissette defiantly came outta left field lol. But you can hear the conviction in her lyrics, like goddamn the the things she was saying had me thinking the person this song was directed towards better dip as far as he can to outer space like that Key & Peele skit "And I said.... Biiiiitchhh" great reaction/review Lost In Vegas now I expect the unexpected.
Pretty sure the song is about Uncle Joey from Full House. They dated and he has stated the lyrics are very close to home. They broke up cause she decided she was too young for a family and he wanted a family. She's never confirmed the name though.
You guys are so contagious to watch ❤... very heart felt and love the honest opinions .. at least 2 hours a day I'm with you two. Thank you for explaining the meanings behind songs love every type of music its truly all a story and you two kill it! Love from Alabama
This channel is so cool. I'm a metal head and probably wouldn't be able to make an unbiased review of some of the hip hop songs out there. Please I mean no disrespect. I'm just trying to say that what you guys do is great! I'd like to give you a suggestion for the channel. You could enrich the videos with more information about the artist you guys are reviewing at the moment. Some curious thing about the band, or maybe the song you guys are talking about. For example, did you know that Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea played bass on this song? Just a suggestion. The channel is great. Videos are cool and funny. Keep it up!
Hey, fellow metalhead. \m/ If you're interested, check out the song "Whales" by Hail Mary Mallon. It's a really good hip-hop song. I think it's good to keep our ears open.
Dude! Our boyz don't have to provide fun facts. If you didn't notice, YOU just did. We're a community brah. Pretty awesome, huh? All thanks to Lost in Vegas for bringing us together.
This is another one that reminds me of Fiona Apple. I'm not sure I've ever heard more emotion in a song than when she hits me with her lyrics. Shadowboxer from her comes to mind.
Beautiful description of how the music represents the emotion when she snaps, then the break is her getting her composure back. Awesome. Now check out "Last to Speak" by Allen Stone
"u in the bushes an shit?!" haha. yes, that is what i always envisioned. That is what makes this the perfect song when you are off the wall about a relationship.
I'm a straight dude.. And she still sings of my experience. I love Alanis' song. This song helped me deal with 'basic training' in 1995. Free thinker here, I thought I was alone. p.s. Left Eye could my house and Jordan's... umm...lol?
“Every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back I hope you feel it”
One of the greatest lyrics ever in music
Scariest line ever in music
Why are you scratching someones back? Is it itchy? What if they want to scratch your back?
Why would he care? He ditched you bitch lol...And why would he think about your skank ass with the dime he's with now?
WELL CAN YOU FEEL IT?
dang witches!!!

She so did. What a voice, what a song writer.

Yes it was/is!
All the singles were bangers!
probably the best of nineties, the only one i bought of a female arist, (except Kate Bush)
motorlife yeah this shit is still great. I also include Fiona Apple in the Greats of the of the 90s. Oh shit guys do CRIMINAL by Fiona Apple!
Jagged Little Pill is one of the best albums EVER.
As a man, I still listen to this song and say, "You tell him girl" *snaps*
xD ahahahahah
Too funny!
I give her such amazing credit for revealing her raw emotions and feelings; she bared her complete and utter soul and she left nothing on the table. This is the epitome of self expression, describing absolutely the most vulnerable moment in her life. This is the ultimate mic drop in musical history. That was so courageous. Bravo... my hat’s off to her..
Exactly
This is the best angry woman song ever! Jagged Little Pill one of the top rock albums ever...belongs in every music collection.
It is a great song. Flea on Bass and Dave Narrvaro on guitar from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on this song. The whole album was done in one take!
I was going to make the same comment. Flea is awesome!!
And was it Taylor Hawkins on drums? I know he toured with her.
Holy shit... did not know that.. great intel!
Hawkins played drums on the tour that followed the release of the song, but he wasn't the drummer in the studio -- that was Matt Laug.
Off topic, but I know a Kevin Brown. 👍👍
She's not bashing men. She's bashing her ex.
actually she's not bashing either.
Cut. It. Out. 👉🏻

When you realize she's singing about Uncle Joey from Full House.
And Becky is now a felon... And Bob Saget was a really dirty comedian... Etc. Such a weird family show

Little fun fact.. The band performing the music here is some of the best musicians in music.
Matt Laug who played with Alice Cooper and Slashs Snakepit is on drums
Dave Navarro who played with Janes Addiction and RHCP, played guitar
Flea from RHCP on bass
Dope! Thanks for the info!
Lost In Vegas no problem man. Keep doing what you do. You guys are very entertaining.
Dean Soings im not a Flea fan, but his creativity is brilliant. He also writes amazing bass lines
Rob Jarrett you are absolutely correct
Also Taylor Hawkins was her drummer and he went on to join Foo Fighters!
"Where is she now?" "Oh, idk, maybe in jail" 🤣😂
She's living a quiet and peaceful life with her husband some rapper I've never heard of Souleye, they have 3 kids. He doesn't give her reasons to write songs like this anymore 😉🥰🤩
And she has a big tour in 2020!!
Excuse me, She has an upcoming album and both singles are great!
I don’t remember his real name but her husband graduated from Tantasqua Regional HS in MA, the same small school as my stepdaughter. I always wondered how the heck they might have met.
She was on tour this year, cut short due to Covid. I have tickets, rescheduled for next year. Alanis! Can't wait to see you!
He knows he's riding her coattails instead of the reverse
Now the opposite to that song that is also by Alanis Morissette is "Head Over Feet"
Yes I actually love that song it's amazing
Add Hands Clean to that list!
People can think and feel all across the board....Perfect, Mary Jane. Great observation Krysta Bell_krispy

"Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned."

The drummer is Taylor Hawkins who went on tour with her and jumped to Foo Fighters he is excellent
Taylor did not record with Alanis. He was merely in her touring band. His first proper recording experience was with Foo Fighters.
Dang I forgot how badass Alanis is😃😃
She played God in the movie Dogma, that's as badass as it gets.
great video, though i wouldn't say she's bashing all men, she's letting out her anger for one man who hurt her. I think this song could be an anthem for any person who's been hurt in a relationship, regardless of gender.

I was a young adult back in the 90’s when this song came out. And now that I think about it, men really *did* seem to want to run and hide when this one came on the radio.
I could not believe you guys went here haha great job with it too! I love that you guys listen to lyrics, I am only 31 but feel like I am damn near 100 when kids talk about how good the music is nowadays... and I don't even hear like full thoughts. It was cool back in the day, when you listened to rappers and just music in general, the idea was to paint a picture. Now it is just beats with people making sounds for lyrics lol thank you for bringing a different approach to the music thing! Love your channel gentlemen!
Thank you sir!
The bass is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers! And Dave Navarro is on guitar.
That bassline: Flea ripps this song apart!! What a hero❤
It’s 2024 and she’s on tour now. Bet my 47 year old ass will be there when she comes to Texas. This dropped when I was 18, and I was never the same!!! As a young adult then, hearing this was such an eye opener. I hadn’t heard a woman express herself passionately before. It was incredible. Flea and Dave Navarro were in this track. 🔥
This song was about Uncle Joey from Full House.... Yes... that one.
yep!
Jared Harvey wow. Seriously?
Linda L yup
Cut, it, out.
Jared Harvey ha! I just wrote that. Thanks cuz I thought for a minute I could be wrong. I just couldn't remember that lame ass's name. Lol
Holy shit man this is too damn good. Your reaction to this is too perfect. I found this channel way too late!
Ok, so a little of the background that I have compiled through the years:
As stated before, this was an ode to her ex boyfriend. Allegedly, this ex was Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from Full House). Their breakup in the early 90s was apparently not great and he seems to have left her for an older woman. He is 15 years older than her and she was a teenager when they started their relationship and so it was her first major heartbreak... Hence the song...
But I digress; when she wrote the major songs on this album and brought them to her label, the album somehow ended up in front of Madonna, head and founder of Maverick Records. From what I understand, Madonna thought You Oughta Know had major potential but the music was very underwhelming so she decided to reproduce it. She reached out to a couple up and coming musicians (who were, by the way, on the DL visionaries) but hadn't made it truly huge yet. So, instead of the plodding bassline that was originally written, Flea brought a spontaneity and an creativity that makes the song seem more stream of consciousness. And instead of the pedantic and boring guitar licks, Dave Navarro brought a wall of sound, stadium rock thickness to the sound and rounded out Morissette's sound. So, with 2 of the Red Hot Chili Peppers backing her up, her video hit MTV and took the world by storm.
Wow I had no idea this was about Joey from full house ‘😂
Well told ^^^^
I was today years old when I learned this.
@@chrisantonelli730 neither did I and I remembet when she was brand spanking new on the radio and MTV 😂
Although neither Alanis or Dave publicly acknowledged this morsel, Bob Saget confirmed he was present at that "dinner" 🤷♀️
"Ironic" she's a multi Grammy artist...where's Dave!! 😂🤣
Big respect to you guys being open enough to listen to and value such diverse musical genres. Love it! That's why I immediately subscribed. You're also incredibly funny😂👌🏾
1:38
ALANIS: I'm happy for you...
THEM: ...Which means she's not.
Woof, ain't that the truth.
Here are the musicians on this track. It's no wonder that it is a standout on this very popular album. It's a weird nexus of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
Alanis Morissette - vocals
Glen Ballard - programming
Dave Navarro - guitar
Flea - bass
Benmont Tench - organ
Matt Laug - drums
I remember my mom singing her heart out to this album in the 90's and to this day, I blast it
Alanis Morissette is so awesome! In addition to being a major and important pioneer in music, Jagged Little Pill alone cemented her status as one of the greatest from the 90s(dare to say all time) and changed the course for future female musicians.
I saw her in the 90s,she rocked it out.🤘
The thing is, whether or not it's a woman singing it for other women, it applies to every gender. Oh that verse that's filled with petty passive aggression: Everyone is that person. There are so many blokes who have been there and done that, that it doesn't bear thinking about. As men we're supposed to be all fucking mechanical logic machines: bollocks. Whether it shows or not, some of the thoughts that have gone through this woman's head, have gone through every bloke's head too.
Good point.
IndustrialBonecraft well said (if I’m understanding you correctly). I hate the preconception that men ain’t supposed to feel emotion. Men can be hurt, angry, cry. It doesn’t make them any less of a man. In fact, it makes them more of a man if they can stop being a wuss bag and actually own their emotions.
I am a guy and I could relate to her emotions in this song and that's why it spoke to me when it came out. Everybody can relate to feeling anger about a previous relationship where the other person unloaded their issues on you and then just bailed. I think it happens to men and women alike.
IndustrialBonecraft Amazing comment!! 💯🔥
Thank you. You just reminded me that I love that album ... need to dig out out
This song is on an another level. The lyrics, the directiveness, the irony, the rawness. Incredibly written, just another level of writing... Honestly. Excellent writing!!!!!
Jagged little Pill argubly the best album of the 90's definitely top ten like every song was a hit...
I have never, ever listened to this song like this. The CD is in my collection since 1996 and this is the first time I really "listened" to the lyrics. Thank you guys!!
Y'all are freaking awesome. Love your videos. Love your breakdown of barriers and music from all genres. Keep it up.
I saw Alanis in concert at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg a few years ago. She still sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!! It was an acoustic concert and she spoke with the audience in between songs. She sounded very happy with the place she was at in her life.
Jagged Little Pill - the song and the album - were about the demise of the relationship she had just been in with an older, famous man (aka Dave Coulier aka Uncle Joey on Full House - she was around 18 and he was around 33 when they started dating).
Alanis is now 45, happily married, and pregnant with her 3rd child - www.self.com/story/alanis-morissette/amp
I love her music! Ironic is my favorite song by her❤️. Nice review
Didn't expect Alanis Morissette defiantly came outta left field lol. But you can hear the conviction in her lyrics, like goddamn the the things she was saying had me thinking the person this song was directed towards better dip as far as he can to outer space like that Key & Peele skit "And I said.... Biiiiitchhh" great reaction/review Lost In Vegas now I expect the unexpected.
Yessir! Thanks Nate!
If I remember correctly she said that this song came from a real experience. Her voice and lyrics verify that.
Pretty sure the song is about Uncle Joey from Full House. They dated and he has stated the lyrics are very close to home. They broke up cause she decided she was too young for a family and he wanted a family. She's never confirmed the name though.
I've been a big fan for a long while now I can pull up any video y'all do and enjoy it keep up the good work felis
I didn't even know I remembered the words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm about to play her and Tori Amos tonight 🤣🤣🤣
Great song. Remember when this came out. Everybody thought this was great back in the day.
I love this song. Alanis acts crazy, and it's fucking hilarious. She is one woman with a lot of angst.
You guys are so contagious to watch ❤... very heart felt and love the honest opinions .. at least 2 hours a day I'm with you two. Thank you for explaining the meanings behind songs love every type of music its truly all a story and you two kill it! Love from Alabama
Oh man...that was fun! I love Alanis! I'm glad you guys had so much fun with it...lol.
This channel is so cool. I'm a metal head and probably wouldn't be able to make an unbiased review of some of the hip hop songs out there. Please I mean no disrespect. I'm just trying to say that what you guys do is great! I'd like to give you a suggestion for the channel. You could enrich the videos with more information about the artist you guys are reviewing at the moment. Some curious thing about the band, or maybe the song you guys are talking about. For example, did you know that Red Hot Chili Peppers' Flea played bass on this song? Just a suggestion. The channel is great. Videos are cool and funny. Keep it up!
Hey, fellow metalhead. \m/ If you're interested, check out the song "Whales" by Hail Mary Mallon. It's a really good hip-hop song. I think it's good to keep our ears open.
wow I had no idea Flea played on this track! thats awesome
This is such a great comment. Much respect
Dude! Our boyz don't have to provide fun facts. If you didn't notice, YOU just did. We're a community brah. Pretty awesome, huh? All thanks to Lost in Vegas for bringing us together.
@@chadcassidy1580 great point
I tweeted the link to this reaction to Alanis, who knows you may get a message. Your reactions are so funny.
Awesome
“Ironic” is another good song of hers with lyrics that are fun to sing.
Tons of fun to be had on your channel! This one is a favorite so far. 🤘
try cranberries: zombie
yeah!
Yes!
R.i.p.
Along those lines, something by Garbage would be cool
Pleeeese yes
This is another one that reminds me of Fiona Apple. I'm not sure I've ever heard more emotion in a song than when she hits me with her lyrics. Shadowboxer from her comes to mind.
I still put her stuff on now and then, and yeah, I agree with you there Luis.
Love the first 2 Fiona cd's ! And I'm a metal head . Great emotion !
Tidal is good from the first to the last track!
It really is James. I still put it on now and then and just marvel at the power and fragility in her voice.
Not About Love is one of my favorites lately, as well as Parting Gift
"I want you to know, that I'm happy for you."
"...which means she's not." ( Laughter)
That's my favorite part! Lmao!
Sending love from Mississippi, y'all are amazing!! It's so interesting seeing how we look from another perspective. Keep on keeping on!
I'm a metalhead but she is a great songwriter
+1
+2
+3
Beautiful description of how the music represents the emotion when she snaps, then the break is her getting her composure back. Awesome. Now check out "Last to Speak" by Allen Stone
Thanks Patrick!
This was allegedly written about Dave Coulier/ uncle Joey from Full House
Tis INDEED 👍
"u in the bushes an shit?!" haha. yes, that is what i always envisioned. That is what makes this the perfect song when you are off the wall about a relationship.
I'm a straight dude.. And she still sings of my experience. I love Alanis' song. This song helped me deal with 'basic training' in 1995. Free thinker here, I thought I was alone. p.s. Left Eye could my house and Jordan's... umm...lol?
This song was written towards uncle Joey from full house
Uncle Joey you done fucked up bro
Damn Uncle Joey!
Yes uncle joey lmao I couldn't believe it
devon falk
dumbass
Hey, Cut It Out Joey!
devon falk I heard it was about Eric Lindross
Thanks for being honest and not pretending to have not heard it before especially because it was all over the radio
Just watched literally ten of these in a row. Very intelligent likable fellas. Will def recommend these dudes to anyone
Huh... interesting... this is the very first time I really noticed that funk in the bass line. As a bassist, I am ashamed.
Lol. It's all good bro!
jrockzmyv382 The bass player on this song is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Is it really???? Whoa.
jrockzmyv382 yep, me too. Fender P bass?
Irishdog79, are you asking what I play or what Flea plays on this track?
This is one of my favorite female angsty songs and I still listen to it. Its great. For more angst that sounds good - Hole - Violet
She was also 20 YEARS OLD when she recorded this. She experienced this in her teens, so this is just raw emotion at its fiery peak.
She just announced a tour for the 25th anniversary of the release of Jagged Little Pill!
