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
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
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.
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 😂
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'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!
"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.
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
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 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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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’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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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😂👌🏾
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?
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.
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
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 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!!
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.
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
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. 🔥
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
Another awesome review & reaction by y'all. The way you analyzed & interpreted her lyrics was so much fun to hear. When George said "if you walk into your house & your woman is playing this song & you hear You Oughtta Know, you gingerly walk your ass out that door..." But when George said he felt like he needed to watch it whilst crouched down & hiding behind his hands, I lost it. So happy I found you guys this week. I've loved everything you've done. Hilarious, inciteful, intelligent, open minded, appreciative of all aspects of the music, promoting an acceptance for all music. You guys are gems & are uniting ppl with your attitude of tolerance. Outstanding. Now, I wanna share your review with Alannis on Twitter. She will loooooove this! Thanks again, gents. P.S. George, you're adorable - there's just something about a cute guy in glasses that works for me. And, Ryan, your laugh, dimples & optimism are infectious!
timeline doesn't make sense. She lived at home until she was 18. Moved to Toronto then LA at 19 and wrote this song at that time. So she met Coulier, dated him then he broke her 19 year old heart to this point? Coulier alternatively confirmed and denied his involvement with her. Alanis never revealed the subjects of her lyrics.
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.
"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.
the take that you guys took with the song building and the quiet part being "her getting her bearings back" is a hell of a way to think of that. never thought of that before. nicely done, fellers!
yeah, this was an incredibly well-recorded and well-produced album. there was a vinyl re-issue form a few years back that is mind blowing. still a dope song, psycho or not.
“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!!!

Her album
Jagged little pill was full of hits. Great album
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.
She changed the trend in music that year-dethroned Mariah Carey and won the grammy
She so did. What a voice, what a song writer.
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
My wife is a huge Mariah fan. I’m running to her to read your comment. Thank you.
@@richarddukard8989 Ani Difranco is one of the very first 😁
And I love Mariah but this song is EPIC
As a man, I still listen to this song and say, "You tell him girl" *snaps*
xD ahahahahah
Too funny!
She's not bashing men. She's bashing her ex.
actually she's not bashing either.
Cut. It. Out. 👉🏻
@@jimburkett9799 I see what you did there, lol.
OchoMarvo Dave Collier sucks
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
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.
joe smith Alanis was dat BITCH‼️
That whole album just kills!
Yep 👍🏻
Drove all the way across the country in 96 with nothing but this and Fugees The Score. Best road trip ever.
Was....??? Still is! The energy in this song continues to inspire others. I hope many men can attest to being inspired as well!!
I was 13 years old when this song and album came out, I’d never heard a woman angry like that before, it changed my life!
Im 18 n 43 still love it
That was not how good girls were supposed to behave! #emotionrevolution #femalewisdom
@@mattjohnson9054 and what about "good boys"? Her anger is justified and she let him have it.
Absolutely 💯
Right there with you, I was 14
This is the best angry woman song ever! Jagged Little Pill one of the top rock albums ever...belongs in every music collection.
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.

1 of my favorite alblums of ALL TIME
@@matthewhunter6421 You ever been a woman? No? Then stfu about it.
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 😂
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. 👍👍
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.
David Couliar from full house 😂😂

Yup! My sister who was a bit older than me loved Alanis. She played her so much in the car. That's how I got into alternative.
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!
And Fiona Apple
Till this day, her lyrics are relatable
In Chains
"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
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
I've also heard it was about Dave also
I used to work for a now-defunct bookstore that he came to visit, and we were expressly forbidden from mentioning Alanis or this song
😄
@@abrown1301 he wasnt that famous to kiss his ass lame
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!
Fiona Apple "Criminal" - would be a great reaction/review!
Yes!!!!!!!
Ooohhh good one!!!!!!!
Jeff Robertson Natalie imbrouligha (sp?) torn as well. P

Lol and those lyrics were written by an old dude. Seriously. Google it.
@@JoshuaC0rbit, nope. All the lyrics were written by her. Glen Ballard is the producer and composer (along with AM).
Alanis Morissette is brilliant. Never delved this deeply into the lyrics until now.
Guitar - Dave Navarro (Janes addiction), Bass - Flea (red hot chili peppers), Drums - Taylor Hawkins (foo fighters)…. Heavy line up on this track 🔥
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
Dang I forgot how badass Alanis is😃😃
She played God in the movie Dogma, that's as badass as it gets.
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

Taylor did not record with Alanis. He was merely in her touring band. His first proper recording experience was with Foo Fighters.
This was THE song of 1995.

The bass is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers! And Dave Navarro is on guitar.
At the time before the song i think. She was with uncle joey of full house. It was a shock when people found out she was talking about him
Not Uncle Joey! Damn!
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?

I hope your daughter doesn't get treated like garbage.
@@jerb963 "Garbage" is a very popular band with a string of great hit songs. So ... what would be so bad about being treated like "Garbage"? LoL ;) :P
@@deejayturtle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 loved how you added Garbage is a band 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The insanity of this is a huuuge section of this is a single performance without edits. Soooo raw
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!! 💯🔥
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
Holy shit man this is too damn good. Your reaction to this is too perfect. I found this channel way too late!
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.
Watch them review Rooster, Alice in Chains. I get excited watching.
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😂👌🏾
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?
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.
You guys are awesome! She was 🔥 back in the day!
Still 🔥
Every woman has played this one a time or two in her life!!!
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
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 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 her in the 90s,she rocked it out.🤘
The soundtrack of my freshman year was this album. ❤️
Me too! Takes me right back to the dorm room and my bitchy roommate, lol.
Same!
We need to talk about Flea's bassline front and center.
michael malosky jr and Taylor Hawkin’s beat🔥
I've heard that Flea heard the original bass part... said it was weak, then dropped the funk bomb on it.
@@catherinelynnfraser2001 Taylor is not on the recording.
Great song. Remember when this came out. Everybody thought this was great back in the day.
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 remember my mom singing her heart out to this album in the 90's and to this day, I blast it
Lolol yall crack me up!!! This one was the best of review/reaction!
I didn't even know I remembered the words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm about to play her and Tori Amos tonight 🤣🤣🤣
try cranberries: zombie
yeah!
Yes!
R.i.p.
Along those lines, something by Garbage would be cool
Pleeeese yes
I love this song. Alanis acts crazy, and it's fucking hilarious. She is one woman with a lot of angst.
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!
Y'all are freaking awesome. Love your videos. Love your breakdown of barriers and music from all genres. Keep it up.
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. 🔥
"I want you to know, that I'm happy for you."
"...which means she's not." ( Laughter)
That's my favorite part! Lmao!
I tweeted the link to this reaction to Alanis, who knows you may get a message. Your reactions are so funny.
Awesome
This song was is about Dave Coulier from Full House (uncle joey).
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
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
HAND IN MY POCKET, IRONIC by Alanis Morissette
“Ironic” is another good song of hers with lyrics that are fun to sing.
I love her music! Ironic is my favorite song by her❤️. Nice review
I'm late to your party, just now catching up on your old stuff. This was one of the very best reaction vids I've seen. Thanks.
Another awesome review & reaction by y'all. The way you analyzed & interpreted her lyrics was so much fun to hear. When George said "if you walk into your house & your woman is playing this song & you hear You Oughtta Know, you gingerly walk your ass out that door..." But when George said he felt like he needed to watch it whilst crouched down & hiding behind his hands, I lost it.
So happy I found you guys this week. I've loved everything you've done. Hilarious, inciteful, intelligent, open minded, appreciative of all aspects of the music, promoting an acceptance for all music. You guys are gems & are uniting ppl with your attitude of tolerance. Outstanding.
Now, I wanna share your review with Alannis on Twitter. She will loooooove this! Thanks again, gents.
P.S. George, you're adorable - there's just something about a cute guy in glasses that works for me. And, Ryan, your laugh, dimples & optimism are infectious!
The song is about the funny uncle joey from full house! no lie. they used to date
#FACTS
timeline doesn't make sense. She lived at home until she was 18. Moved to Toronto then LA at 19 and wrote this song at that time. So she met Coulier, dated him then he broke her 19 year old heart to this point? Coulier alternatively confirmed and denied his involvement with her. Alanis never revealed the subjects of her lyrics.
Alanis and Dave both worked for Nickelodeon. You can’t do that on television I think. Where they dumped slime on people
I thought it was about Wilmer Valderama...?
Never been confirmed by Alanis btw 🤗
That bassline: Flea ripps this song apart!! What a hero❤
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.
Sending love from Mississippi, y'all are amazing!! It's so interesting seeing how we look from another perspective. Keep on keeping on!
Only just discovered your channel & 5 videos in, with 5 likes and i gotta say ya got great channel guys!
Refreshing. Funny.
Subscribed.
Thank you. You just reminded me that I love that album ... need to dig out out
Awesome song, entertaining analysis! btw, another good breakup song for women: Tyrone by Erikah Badu. One of the best "bye boy" songs, ever.
Yes!!
"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.
the take that you guys took with the song building and the quiet part being "her getting her bearings back" is a hell of a way to think of that. never thought of that before. nicely done, fellers!
Oh man...that was fun! I love Alanis! I'm glad you guys had so much fun with it...lol.
This was allegedly written about Dave Coulier/ uncle Joey from Full House
Tis INDEED 👍
I'm a metalhead but she is a great songwriter
+1
+2
+3
yeah, this was an incredibly well-recorded and well-produced album. there was a vinyl re-issue form a few years back that is mind blowing. still a dope song, psycho or not.
OMG, when this song came out I was a cohost of a rock station morning show, and this song was IT!
Bahaha this is one of my favorite videos of yours. I love your analysis and y'all are hilarious!
