[LoveYouLikeALoveLife]

Awesome, I love this song. 

[TheKangarooguru]

all of my english teachers complain about this song not having anything to do with irony but you just have bad luck. lol.

[gglovesyou11]

[witozn]

it's like meeting the man of your dreams, than meeting his beautiful husband!!

[1234QUES1234]

[mufcevo]

Hey

[Xxyoungchrisx]

hi

[Paraleaf02]

Rain on your wedding day brings good luck?

[nathaliasarczuk]

@Paraleaf02 Yes. But no one likes rain at weddings because it usually ruins the party. I would like rain on mine.

[domorocks19]

love this song isnt it ironic!!

[nicoleporter592]

i love this song

[ReedCait]

Irony means the opposite of what you expect (basically). The irony in this song is nothing in the lyrics is ironic, it's all just sad coincidence. The irony is that she named the song Ironic when nothing in it is ironic.

[XxCrAZyLilLYXx]

@ReedCait ja ähem.. du bist sehr sehr philosophisch xDD 

[luvakatsuki3]

@ReedCait Yes: put into a basic understanding, it's said to be the opposite of what is expected. However, there are three types of irony when not simplified. This is IRONY; Situational Irony, look it up.

[katkutie1]

Ironry: When reality doesn't meet expectactions. :)

Hope that helps some people.

[123loure]

i wonder how do these nonsense people define the word ironic...

tskk333

Hahaha... really funny.. I love this song, no question about it...

[penny4p]

whole life its ironic ....!

[iafnami333]

amazing!!!!!!!

[urgle55]

Where did ya go to school Alanis? People watch Ed Byrns on Alanis Morisette and youll understand what irony is. This song shoulda been called misfortunates.

[urgle55]

@urgle55 AND who the hell has 10,000 SPOONS!!!!!!! TF

[ghecachii]

I think the ironic part with the Aviophobic man is the fact that when he actually had the courage to ride a plane, it was then that he met bad luck and it crashed. Get it? :))

[CaramellNeko]

I can't believe there are people who do not know what irony is...and thereby I mean all these folks who shout "this song doesn't have anything to do with irony". Um. Then what exactly is irony in your opinion?

[EmmaAndEva123]

Reece Mastin Made Me Get Here...

[MegaTwilightfreak11]

oh it remainds me of my prom ystrday... i met this amazing guy, my mr. perfect and i gotta go before i could even knew his name, phone number or anything.. too bad if he was the love of my life and i'll never meet him again. and if you read this you redhead i am the one which you were smailing at <3

[utFLYrockets]

I'd be mad if a black fly got in my Chardonnay!!

[FrankEOlsen]

coincidental; unexpected: It was ironic that I was seated next to my ex-husband at the dinner.

from dictionary reference com/browse/ironic

I would say this definition covers most of the things said in the song no?

[xoxobeautybarbiexoxo]

it's not ironic that the old man died. he was 98. he was going to die soon anyway. it was just bad luck..

[gilbertolarte]

great!



[nahirlozza]

Heard it when MAN did a cover of it. Such a nice song.

[Aufaugen]

I don't care if there's irony in the song, I still like it

[zakurafire]

i won my talent show by singing this song, Favorite Line " Its like meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his BEUATIFUL wife" (Top Comment?)/_/

[TheCynthia2017]

@djkoyama1 Lmao . xD

[00animallover00]

Isn't it ironic...how this song has nothing to do with irony

[curlyskittles7]

Her singing reminds me of Phoebe on Friends....

[nicklaus444]

A couple of examples of irony for you: a cardiologist dying of a heart attack because he was in a small town and there were no cardiologist at the hospital, an employee at a car-production factory that has not had a weekend off in a very long time, and the first weekend he has off, his wife tells him he has to build a miniature car for their children, so he spends his day assembling it, a person driving to court for a speeding ticket getting a speeding ticket on the way. isn't THAT ironic

[minimags3008]

@nicklaus444 well those just aren't as catchy !! :P

[nicklaus444]

Is the irony that the song is titled isnt it ironic but the song actually doesnt have anything to do with irony?

[babyshirleann]

she said a lot awsome video

[MisterSmokeMahWeed]

I think that Alanis Morissette is beautiful :) And, excluding Brittney Spears and Ke$ha, you actually have to be smart to be a musician. She knows what Irony is. Aren't you being ignorant?

[ah66able]

She called the song ironic and put nothing ironic in it that's actually brilliant

[funkid220]

@ah66able Actually the man that said "Well isn't it nice?" actually is ironic, so no it's not.

[Noseeyparker]

Some of the stuff in this song isn't ironic, it's just piss annoying.

[gansteringhate]

I saw her in X factor and I loved her ever since that!!

[ederroot]

it's only wrong ... you all don't like ...but good just go say nothing do not listen ......

[busta09871]

song koo



[lordofthenoobs]

I LIKE VAGINA'S BUT THEY SMELL BAD, IS DAT IRONY?

[xcheese129]

@lordofthenoobs

No you fuckinng ass , I HAVE A VAG AND YOUR A FUCKINNG DOUCHE.

[XoCortnyyy]

@xcheese129 a douche for a vag

[greenolive03]

@ all of the people who thinks this song has no irony..are you DUMB?! THE VERSES ARE FILLED WITH IRONY~

[BringMehTheBrides]

My teacher, Mrs. Zetts, told us to look this up xD

[tothestage913]

@MsLexsmommy Actually, it is when you already paid. It sort of makes more sense if you think about it.

[MsLexsmommy]

@tothestage913 my bad lol still great video

[XoCortnyyy]

Goooooooood shiiiiiit!

[duumbdee]

it's like meeting the man of you're dreams, than meeting his beautiful wife<3

[MadelineAlkaline]

@duumbdee Wrong form of your*

[UnJakeMueller]

this song.. story of my life :')

[angelbites15]

0:59 is Ironic, isnt it?

[BlueEmoKitty237]

" it's like 10000 spoons when all you need is a knife it's meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife" my fav part

[rich12califonia]

[sag7460]

I STILL LOVE YOU ALANIS.NO MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE CRITICISE YOU CONTINUE BELIEVING IN YOUR GOOD WORK .I HOPE SOMEDAY YOU WILL PERFORM THIS IN AFRICA WHERE I LIVE-KENYA.I LOOOOOVE YOU.DIANA KADIOLI

[sag7460]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO SOOOOO MUCH THAT I DONT MIND THE MISTAKES.IT OUTDOES ALL MUSIC THAT AV EVER HEARD.AM ONLY SEVEN

[gmscutie1]

a plane crashing isnt very ironic or death it just live saying fuck you. you deserve this shit

[akamaruishot]

There is a lot of Irony in this song, if you understand all forms of irony. Get your education before criticizing -_-.

[HarryAardvark]

@akamaruishot Thus the majority of American Heritage Dictionary’s usage panel found it unacceptable to use the word ironic to describe mere unfortunate coincidences or surprising disappointments that “suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly

[Kudos611]

@akamaruishot Sure, considering the song's content, the title is highly ironic.

[Paraleaf02]

@cherrysoda1234567 That means something like "Someone who finds a cure for cancer, dies from cancer" that's ironic.

[Leoncina996]

Beautiful song and that's it. *_*

[SamHendric]

This is an awesome song. It describes most of everything that ever happens to me. But it seems a lot like the book "Little Book of Awesome Things" (or whatever it's called) 's archenemy? XD

[purpletaylorswift13]

i love this song...

[koolcrobat]

this was uploaded on my birthday!

[MissGonnaBeFamous]

It's called cosmic Irony . It's a misuse of Irony , but becoming a secondary form of it .

[cherrysoda1234567]

there are actually a few things in this song that are ironic. how is it not ironic that an old man dies the very next day after winning the lottery, or a person gets a pardon from death row AFTER hes already died? or an aviophobic man dies on his first flight? maybe if you actually listened to the lyrics, you'd understand the irony in them.

[HarryAardvark]

@cherrysoda1234567 Thus the majority of American Heritage Dictionary’s usage panel found it unacceptable to use the word ironic to describe mere unfortunate coincidences or surprising disappointments that “suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly. to be ironic there must be an intent to do something which as a course of your action has an opposite effect.

[IvaAdams]

@cherrysoda1234567 No, it'd be ironic if the aviophobic man became a pilot. The others are ironic, though.

[MaryTangy]

una delle canzoni più belle che le mie orecchie abbiano mai sentito

[picklejuize]

Oh burn!!! His beautiful wife!

[MyEpicGamerz]

Hmmmm........

...I like it.

[thamireslemos1]

Adoroo essa musica

[shitaye12]

she clearly doesn't what irony is. That is why I like the song: it is a good laugh.

[signalfire1325]

The whole point of the song is the fact that there is no irony in the lyrics. Its ironic that there is no irony.

[lifeofthepartyful]

i love it soo much

[mzcoldheartedbuie]

it really is a irony way of help you out in life.

[KatrinesKaraoke]

coincidental.

[KatelynMarie221]

Every time I here the first 35 seconds of this song it makes me want to cry because its a death row pardon two minutes to late, is really sad.

[EmmaCould]

Actually, a few things in this song are quite ironic. Such as an old man winning the lottery and dying the next day? Thats pretty ironic, it is an unexpected turn in the story. Also, a man on his first flight and crashing and dying? Thats ironic don't you think? Maybe if you listened to the song a little bit, then you would realize that Ms. Morissete is singing about ironic things. And lets not hate, because this song is beautiful. #nohate

[portinaribe]

Your effort is greatly appreciated. thanx

[xThisKissx]

Rain on your wedding day is not ironic. It is bad luck or a coincidence. Because some people may like the rain, and you may be in doors anyway. Haha sorry i just learned this in english :p

[cat61n1]

AWSOME TOP COMENT IS ME

[Arctoslupus]

What's really ironic is that the things listed in this song aren't shining examples of irony. Many are just very coincidental.

[djkoyama1]

There are quite a few people posting on the definition of irony and how Ms. Morissette is off aim. No matter how right they may be, she is a rich superstar...they are not. Isn't it ironic?

[wessnyder117]

@djkoyama1 Actually I think it is ironic that in the music video she is "poor" and still enjoying life.

[klapp08]

@djkoyama1 No, it isn't. You obviously don't get it either.... Which is kind of ironic

[djkoyama1]

@klapp08 I get it. There is more than one definition of irony. While you are trying so hard to make yourself look intelligent by knowing ONE of the types of irony, you are ironically showing your limits in vocabulary.

[klapp08]

@djkoyama1 Some things in this song are truly ironic, others seem more like misfortune. If having a black fly in your chardonnay is ironic, then so is stepping in dog shit. But I also think irony is subjective: everyone has their own sense of it. So yeah, I more or less agree with you. As far as trying to sound intelligent, I could care less, I was just being a smartass for the sake of being a smartass, hence the punchline. Ps How does not finding something ironic limit my vocabulary?

[djkoyama1]

@klapp08 My apologies. I think I misunderstood you somehow. The chardonnay...no idea. Maybe she's talking about something of beauty and perfection being ironically ruined by a simple fly landing in it.

[luvakatsuki3]

To be honest, I'd really love for it to rain on my wedding day. Any guy I'd ever fall in love with should really have no problem playing in the rain. It is, after all, a fantastic past time, even if it did perhaps ruin my wedding dress, and his suit... :P

[TJLM4eva]

we had a english assignment on this song. we were talking about irony and we had to underline the irony in the song lyrics. funny thing is most of it was just bad luck

[luvakatsuki3]

@TJLM4eva Bad luck can be really ironic, don't you think? A death row pardon two minutes too late, for example, is extremely bad luck, and also extremely Ironic.

[avielknot]

the first hipster

[Sissukas016]

Gosh, this song is GREAT!

[emproanproductions90]

i get what shes trying to say. but thats not what irony actually means. these things arent ironic there more tragically funny. i like the way college humor did this with the parody of the song "actually ironic"

[taylorbitchz]

my teacher played this in class the other day.. i started singing this and everyone looked at me and wass like woah ive never heard you sing before, your good, ahah. a now this song has been stuck in my head for 2 days now, ohh what fuun(:

[tbizm]

my teacher played this song in class today

[MsTreysongzlover12]

@tbizm omg mines too! i wonder if we have the same teacher.....do u have Mr. Kuchar?

[mccormickterri1]

isnt it ironic...1 of the top shrinks said guys move on from a break-up w.in 8 wks to their next relationship.disgusting, but u know it's true.

[dhm9114]

@mccormickterri1

Well one of the top shrinks didn't look at everyone, and it changes for different people. I personally am a guy, and I find it impossibly hard to move on from any relationship. And some women move on faster than some men. And it's not men more than women that move on fast, as much as a lot of people would like to think it is

[caseyburk]

Oh man... Talk about memories.

[khaLyn29]

The sad part of the song for me is when he finally meet the man of her dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife T_T and i like the way he sings the next 2 lines . :D

[32strawberrygirl]

we listened to this in class cus we r learning about irony. the boys were laughing at the part where she says "its like meeting the man of my dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife." lol

[xxBAMSTERxx]

some of these things aren't ironic. doesn't mean i don't mind singing this at the top of my voice...XD

[Jujubeanz97]

i loved the remake of this in i could never be your woman!lol.alanis rocks!

[oliviami5]

awesome song, has real meaning. can someone tell me when it came out?

[richclayderman]

isn't it ironic how there's nothing ironic about the lyrics?

[Skaldicgoth]

@richclayderman

well, the lyric is still ironic

[Paraleaf02]

@richclayderman ikr?!

[cmurder656]

@richclayderman If you don't see the irony in these lyrics, you are not Ms. Morissette's primary focus group. She is not stupid, she knows the textbook definition of irony. The fact that the song is called "Ironic", yet has no good example of true irony, IS THE IRONIC part. It was the whole idea, so it is not impressive that you figured it out.

[MrLancelotte99]

@richclayderman you don't understand the lyrics

[IlIIOO0]

@richclayderman some parts are ironic

[richclayderman]

worst lyrics ever

[RoseFox0029]

I hate how there isn't really anything in this song that's ironic. Oh well, it's a good song. :)

[PrettiGurlSwag17]

The sad thing is that very few of the things she says in here are actually ironic.

[diedaspaule]

das singen wir in englisch :D

[cedricrlongreen]

I love the change around 1:55

[munyac09]

guys thats beautiful stuff, i tell you

[corydavis1987]

i know several guys that listen to her, plush she is hot, so yeah

[mrstevenos]

my girlfriend passed away from a sprained ankle blood clot that went to the heart - truly ironic - can't stop from crying when I hear this song now days

[CressidaTussaud]

Thos is my Rocking-out-in-the-bedroom-lik­e-a-fool song

[Lenaax21]

How could you not like this song?! I also hate it when people say only girls listen to her.. uh, my dad's turning 49 in two months and LOVES her. He's the one who gave me her CD. :) ♥

[qwertyhnbvcxzjp]

@Lenaax21 ya, what's that about. I'm a guy lol. I just listen to good music thats all

[manardi55]

@Lenaax21 im 10, its not tht cool to be 12 especially when theres me, i have listened tro this song forever, mainly cuz my sis plays it all the time

[SnatchierPigeon]

<3

[jobrohater13]

Wow.... I love you Alanis!!!

[jhoneycutt7854]

THE NINETIES WERE GREAT HELL YEAH EVERYONE FUCKED UP FROM THE DRUGS ARE PARENTS' DID IN THE 70"S LMAO!

[jhoneycutt7854]

I couldn"t agree more !

[InnocenceLovePeace]

... its like meeting the man of your dreams.... and then meeting his beautiful wife...

[nhelyn03]

i like it so much.:-)

[cHAWELO3]

wHAT can I say except that the nineties rules man.

[FlyingPopRocks]

isn't it ironic?

[Shadowcon101]

lol a free hide lol I want one

[lukinko]

...plain crashed down....cool...... :D

[heathermatt20]

irony is irony it shouldn't matter what kind.....

[Cutegirl1784]

:o 2011 and im listening this song

[tomtesteriscool]

bit of imagination needed,old man thinking if only he could win the lotto his life would'nt be shit anymore, wins it and die's. bugger ! that's ironic. black fly in you chardonnay rhmyes thats all. top song

[RyanX1231]

I for one would love rain on my wedding day, then we could kiss in the rain. :)

[iamjamjam11]

Our teacher Ms. Ruth showed it to us and we thought it was AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOme!!!!!!!

[9912365]

my teacher mrs.nedved shared this song with the whole class and i thought it was good.....

[daphnedaris]

@9912365 WHAT !!! not a good voice ????

i'me sorry but you know nothing about music if you think she has a bad voice !!!

if it's you'r opinion oke, but if youi say it's a fact you're crazy !!

[9912365]

@daphnedaris i never said she has a bad voice...and i don't have bad taste in music. i listen to lil wayne, eminem and others.....and plus she has a good voice.

[retriever1212]

lyrics are amazing, her voice... not so much

[hdh4th]

most of this isnt irony

[MrHooper64]

Thanks Andy K

[runescapegodsword]

damm girl yuh got some good voice!!:D

[GiiGiii100]

she makes "it's a black fly in your chardonnay" sound so sophisticated lol (y)

[SodaGlobeProductions]

4 people have 10,000 spoons and no knife

[PercyPotterFan]

You know, most of the "ironic" things she says aren't really ironic... They just kind of suck... Like rain on your wedding day... And finding the man of your dreams and meeting his wife.... Yep... That just plain sucks

[Rethki]

@PercyPotterFan In Portugal, people say "Wet wedding, blessed marriage". But, honestly, who wants rain on their wedding day? x) So, here that's ironic. Another ironic thing is there is 99% chances Alanis doesn't know that xD

[ladylovedoll]

@Rethki i like rain on my weddingday XP
