Alanis Morissette Updates Smash Hit 'Ironic'

In 1995 Alanis Morissette released the song "Ironic" and it was a smash hit, topping charts in Australia, Canada, the U.S., and Norway. It would go on to be nominated for 2 Grammys and the music video would be nominated for 6 MTV video music awards.

20 years later, Alanis Morissette with the help of The Late Late Show host James Corden updated her song to reflect modern problems, including: social media, vaping and Netflix.

An old friend sends you a Facebook request

You only find out they're racist after you accept

There's free office cake on the first day of your diet

It's like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?It's like swiping left on your future soulmate

It's a Snapchat that you wish you had saved It's a funny tweet that nobody faves

And who would've thought it figures It's a traffic jam when you try to use Waze

A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape

It's 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!

It's singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It's like you're first class on a Southwest plane

Then you realize that every seat is the same

It's like Amazon but your package never came

And who would've thought it figures

It's like Netflix but you own DVDs

It's a free ride but your Uber's down the street

It's singing "Ironic," but there are no ironies

And who would've thought it figures

What do you think about her updated version?
