Yes yes yes, but look deeper, wedding day is the happiest day of your life! A little thing like rain wouldn't ruin it!
OK, I suppose there could be a wet road and the car with your prospective hubby/wife in could skid and they could die...
But that's not what the song says. The song doesn't even say where the rain is!
I think too much. *headdesk*

Nah, Igg, this just shows we're clever and umm...think things through...nah I don't know.

Well... I doubt the song was written with that much thought put into it (or so it seems). It may be written with the impression that many people would be disheartened for it to rain on their wedding? Obviously its an outside wedding and maybe everything from the cake to the dress got ruined by the rain? It could really be anything, though clarity would be nice.

Seeing as events affect people differently, I can see how a lot of these things would have almost no signficance to the song. In the end, this would probably end up being the happiest day of the couple's life anyway, which would be ironic to the song in itself... or something like that. Perhaps she writes songs just to make us sit here and spend a lot of time thinking about it.

I've always wondered about the song "Thank U". It was rather strange, video and songwise... Seems like she's got a lot of things to thank... even India... and transparent dangling carrots... and all of those other strange things.

She's okay, I guess. My favorite song by her is "Ironic", but I do agree that none of those instances said sang about were actually ironic.

*twitch* My language arts teacher would be tearing her up by now if she didn't know what ironic meant. Dx

Yeah...tis strange. Didn't she go to India or something and it kinda opened her eyes to things? I know she started wearing a lot of "Indian influenced" clothes. I don't know, so maybe that's why she's thanking India? Meh, I'm not too keen on her stuff from that period, I prefer the stuff from the "Jagged Little Pill" era and the stuff she's doing now is pretty good. ^_^

Starburst, your set has me singing 8 Easy Steps. Anyone want the lyrics? I'm obsessed with the song. I played it 8 times when I found the video. Yes, 8. I found it funny too.

I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps, a course of a lifetime, you'll never forget...

*thumbs up* That song rules. I could say that was my intention, but it wasn't. But never mind. I just like that line. *points at set*

Oh Alanis Morissette got mentioned in my English class at school today.

My teacher went
"So can anybody explain what dramatic irony is?" and this lad went
"Has that got anything to do with Alanis Morissette and that song? Is it like rain on your wedding day?" and the teacher replied
"no and it's not like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife"

Hehe, about the only interesting thing that happened in my English class today.

Alanis Morissette is freakin' awesome. That's pretty self-explanatory.

My favorite song by her is either Ironic or Joining You. I haven't decided which. It's hard to decide.

I was waiting for you to post, I knew you liked her.
