ISN'T IT REALLY FREAKING IRONIC?!

Alanis Morissette's 'Ironic', described in fewer than 5 words.


An old man turned ninety-eight
...Tautology.

He won the lottery and died the next day
...Bad luck.

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
...Disgusting.
Don't go. I heard he licks the dip.
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
...Cruel.

And isn't it ironic... don't you think
...Stupid.

It's like rain on your wedding day
...Weather.

It's a free ride when you've already paid
...Dickhead taxi driver.

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
...Arrogant.

Who would've thought... it figures
...Nonsense.

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly

...Sensible.

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
...Good fathering.

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
...Patient.

And as the plane crashed down he thought, "Well isn't this nice..."
...MORBID.
Not just traumatic for the people inside.
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
...Questionable.

It's like rain on your wedding day
...Soggy.



It's a free ride when you've already paid
...Bummer.

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
...Deserved.

Who would've thought... it figures
...No.

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
...Bollocks.

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
...Naïve.

And life has a funny way of helping you out when
you think everything's gone wrong and
everything blows up in your face
...EXPLOSIONS.
YEAHHHH!
A traffic jam when you're already late
...Bad planning.

A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
...In the wrong place.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
...RIDICULOUS.
True story.
It's meeting the man of my dreams
...Darth Vader?

And then meeting his beautiful wife
...Slut.

And isn't it ironic...don't you think
...Canadian.

A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...
...Rubbish.

It's like rain on your wedding day
...Transparent.

It's a free ride when you've already paid
...Your fault.

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
...Also your fault.

Who would've thought... it figures
...Nope.
