Somebody call the ’90s… because we’re about to open a time capsule, and there’s a flannel shirt, a CD binder and an aggressively emotional Alanis Morrissette waiting inside.
Today’s 6:30 Clock Radio Classic takes us back to 1996 with Alanis Morissette and “Ironic”—a song that somehow managed to make an entire generation contemplate the unfairness of life while simultaneously screaming along to it in the car.
And yes, we’re talking about the song with the famous line about rain on your wedding day. Which, scientifically speaking, is perhaps unfortunate—but not necessarily ironic. In fact, the irony debate surrounding this song has probably lasted longer than some marriages.
“Ironic” became one of Alanis’ signature songs and helped propel Jagged Little Pill into the stratosphere. That album became one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide and turning Alanis into one of the defining voices of the ’90s.
And nearly three decades later, the song is still finding new listeners. Its official music video has racked up hundreds of millions of views on YouTube.
So crank it up, grab your imaginary ’90s hairbrush microphone, and prepare to dramatically sing along like you’re starring in your own music video.
