Alanis Morissette and James Corden added a modern-day spin to her 1995 classic “Ironic” but this time it’s about Uber, Tinder and more, take a look
Who would have thought it figured… A classic song could be remodelled to fit in with modern day coincidences. Yes, some may have pointed out that the Grammy nonimated artist wasn’t really listing any ironies but rather just annoying coincidences but that doesn’t take away from the chart topping song.
Recently Alanis Morissette joined James Cordern on his Late Late Show and the two sung out the updated song dressed to impress.
You can read the lycrics below but the video the best because James will make you laugh-out-loud.
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 your 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
