This is best breakup song of all time, because it really reflects how a lot of people actually feel when their heart is broken. Most songs just deal with the sadness of a relationship ending, but Alanis isn't sad, she's fucking furious. How could someone she loved and thought loved her do this to her?? She wants them to understand how angry and betrayed she feels, and it's awesome
Yeah, this was a game changer when it came out. I'm a dude and basically a rock fan since childhood so I wasn't its target audience at all, and I still bought and listened to this non-stop when it came out. To this day, I love the album from start to finish.

Can't believe you've never heard that song, much less the rock goddess that is Alanis Morrissette. Jagged Little Pill is one of the best rock albums ever!
How bulletproof is the album Jagged Little Pill? 1.) It was the best-selling album globally for a year. 2.) It won Album of the Year for the Grammys in 1996. 3.) There is an Tony Award-winning musical inspired by the album called Jagged Little Pill (premiered on May 5, 2018). 4.) Jagged Little Pill (Original Broadway Cast) won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album in 2021. 3.) There is the documentary Jagged (2021), which focuses on the life and career of Alanis Morrissette and centered on the release of Jagged Little Pill.
Her first album "Jagged Little Pill" when it hit in the 90s was soooo influential to all of us when we were younger. I highly recommend checking out "Hand In My Pocket" or Ironic" by Alanis!!
Jagged Little Pill was actually her third album. The first two, released in Canada, were pop albums. But this album is definitely the one that made her famous. It's an all around great album, and yes, "Hand in My Pocket" and "Ironic" are good songs.
First time I heard this song I was driving to work at 6:30 in the morning. I almost wrecked the car. I couldn't believe how good it was. Later that day I went to the record store to get the cassette to listen in the car. I asked the clerk "Do you have Annette Morrison?" He looked me me and said "No. But we have Alanis Morissette".
Can I get a witness here? This young man just had the best possible response to Alana’s message. She was pouring her rage out and he said, “Go get him, Girl!”. What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.👏👏👏👏👏
what`s really interesting about this song is that it is actually what a man goes through during a break up...men take time, they stew on it, they get mad, they get vengeful...women just monkey branch onto the next guy without blinking...
Pick any song from this album and you can't go wrong. It's one of those rare occasions where the entire album is pure gold from start to finish. There are probably less than 100 albums like that in history, across all genres, and this is one of them. The hidden track "Your House" might be the saddest song I've ever heard in my life.
"Your House" is insane. Sad yes... but she's describing walking through his empty house when he's not at home and using his things and trying on his clothes. It's just a bit crazy.
NEVER screw over a songwriter, you WILL end up in a song, and the whole world will know who you are! Few still remember Uncle Joey from Full House, but he will live FOREVER because of this song!
@@traviscrockett3640 He was Alanis' touring drummer for Jagged Little Pill tour before joining Foos. She did a concert video of the same name JLP Live. Taylor's playing on it. She's filming at a hotel balcony in one scene and yelling his name down to him and he looks up with his shirt pulled back over his head smiling. They all got into big whip cream fights on stage too. The video may be on here somewhere. I used to have it on VHS way back. EDIT. Found it right from Alanis' own channel. th-cam.com/video/jIRmCrHFXBw/w-d-xo.html
She hasn’t admitted straight up but supposedly its about dave coulier (uncle joey on full house). He said its about him because of the lyric “hate to bug you in the middle of dinner”. He said she called and he was busy eating so he told her ill call you back and never did.
@@catofthecastle1681 ohhh!!! Ok...she was on howard stern a few years ago and said she wouldn’t say. So thats what i was going off. Thanks for verifying! Im going to have to look it up...
@@catofthecastle1681 if you listen to the hidden track on the end of Jagged Little Pill you’ll hear what happened: she found his side chick’s messages.
It's just the rage you feel when someone you love double crosses you. The pain and rage seeps through her vocals. It was so refreshing when it came out for us women. I know men were scared 😆
Yep, they were. So scared in fact that, fast forward almost 30 years, most boys/men these days are now girls/women (do a quick survey in any notionally female locker/rest room). And the ones that aren't women are gay so I guess that kinda fixes the whole hetero-normative love rat issue into the future (unless there's a war in which case finding anyone with the motivation or the cojones to actually fight might prove problematic).
It is hard to express just how big this album was. I saw her early in her tour at a small club (maybe 250 to 300 person capacity) about a year later I saw her perform again in a sold out stadium.
Meredith Brooks - Bitch K.D. Lang - Constant Craving Sophie B Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover Sarah McLachlan - In The Arms of An Angel Dido - Thank You All great female songs
I love that line like I love Fiona Apple's "You say love is a hell you cannot bear, well I say give me mine back and then go there..." Angry women rock.
I love that you both were going into this "blind". Ok... I chuckled because I knew what was coming. I first saw this on MTV, mid 90's not long after it had been released. I literally watched it with my jaw on the floor, eyes big as saucers. "Who is, what was, holy crap where did this come from?" was my reaction. Immediately went out, bought the CD. Every. Single. Song. Was. Incredible. Un-effing-believable.
Alanis Morisette was a bubble gum pop star when she first appeared. This album completely changed her image, and she showed a substance that totally changed her musical style.
Get your heart ripped out in the 90s? Pop in this CD and just get it all out lol. Jagged Little Pill, is one of those absolutely iconic albums. That very last note on this song…whew just raw
When this song came out was the best time of my life. After this era, my life went WAY THE FK downhill so i really enjoy listneing to 90s music. Was the only decade i can honestly that i was glad to be alive. I love this crazy gal.
Same.... except without the insecurities and mad emotional rollercoaster of teenage angst. My 46 year old brain in my teenage body would be living her best life!😂
@@sean_b_drummer you are absolutely right. I remembered that once I saw your post. I remember seeing an interview with Taylor talking about the video and how it was like his first thing with the band.
I'm almost 41 and my boyfriend is 35, so he was much younger when this song came out. He said for years he thought she said "the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me", instead of "the cross I bear that you gave to me", lol. He admits he was WAY too old when he realized what she actually said, haha!
@@christopherhiggins2350 me neither!!!! Ever since he told me that! And the way my boyfriend told me was so funny. He was a kid when he heard it, and he was like, why did he give her a cross-eyed bear? WHY?!
She was the new voice of the empowered woman that became a role model for a new generation of girls and young women. The empowerment that woman feel today can be attributed to her in the mid-1990s: it was something new at the time. Frankly, I like it.
If you really listen to the guitars, it's actually Flea (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on base and Dave Navarro on guitar! Epic to get these guys to play for her on this song!
I suggest "Thank You" for another Alanis Morissette. And for another female Friday you guys should get into Jewel, specifically "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Standing Still".
Thats the personification of 90s rock right there ;) Bass and Guitar from the Red hot Chili Peppers, DRummer from the Foo Fighters and Alanis at the vocals
Another great song by alanis around the time I graduated high school 90s loved 80s and 90s music so much we. had so much great music.and look who's playing drums Taylor Hawkins who played with her before he joined the foo fighters and he passed recently RIP awesome drummer he will be missed thank you Taylor for all the great music and memories
No holds barred elemental FURY. Awesome song. I loved Rob's expression at several points in the video when he was like "Whoa, did she really just say that?", and yup. In a lot of other songs, it might not work, but given the raw emotional wound this song represents, it almost Requires that the lyrics do, in fact, go there.
I still can't believe how sleazy Dave Coulier had to have been to have both this and No Scrubs by TLC written about him. But yeah, this was huge when it hit.
@@HeatherHolt1313 yeah, he definitely F'ed up. Apparently, when Chili has confirmed the No Scrubs thing in interviews, she said he was lucky Left Eye wasn't there the day they ran into him b/c she would have beat the crap out of him.
😲No, no, my friend. He told her she was the one till the day he died. Then, outta nowhere, dropped her like so much garbage. Now, she telling it. Calling him out for the absolute piece of shit that he is
Love when Alanis sings *that* line, and Jay leans to Amber as if to say “Hey did you catch THAT?” But Amb’s gives him the hand! Had to watch “the hand” several times! 😆
I never thought she was telling her dude you know I’m gonna take our break up badly. I just thought she was saying our break up was not amicable and feelings were hurt.
I was FRESH off my very first heartbreak in high school when I first saw this on MTV. It helped quite a bit. 😂 As if I really knew what being scorned meant at that time, but still.
If you look closely, you will see a young Taylor Hawkins playing drums for Alanis Morissette before joining one of the greatest rock bands The Foo Fighters
"And every time I scratch my nails Down someone else's back I hope you feel it Well, can you feel it?" Is one of the greatest questioned posed in a song! What a tuuune! 🤘
@@michaelconnor1542 I always heard it was about a producer of hers and Alanis has insisted that she will never reveal who the song is really about. Dave is only guessing it is about him from a line in the song.
jagged little pill is FULL of great songs. one of my favorites and something a little different in sound is Perfect. it always gets me in the feels as someone with childhood issues where i always felt like i wasn't good enough.
I'm still crying and scream singing this EVERY time it comes on right now. I've loved this since I was 15, when it was released, and it has unfortunately come full circle and completely applies to my F'd up divorce that is currently tearing my family apart. Needless to say, I can relate. Additionally, I don't feel that Alanis's message necessarily applies to only women here, just as I feel about music in general. Some lyrics I take literally, and others metaphorically, but the ENTIRE emotion is present and the circumstances described are ironic and coincidentally similar. (Insert Schwarzenegger "Junior" joke.) I just subbed last night because both of you are a pleasure to watch and your energy is light hearted and kind, especially toward each other. It's difficult to find time to smile right now, so I appreciate the thoughtfulness and respect that you guys are showing to your audience, and again, each other. Emotionally intelligent and insightful reviews. And y'all are just cute as a button! With all the things that are going dark in the world today, thank you for this light. ✌️+❤️
My first wife did a cheater behind my back and I did the divorce myself. I was very bitter for many years after but when she apologized over 40 years later (by an unexpected phone call one day), I said, "It's okay. We both made mistakes" and "I'll forgive you if you'll forgive me". But "let's not get together for coffee to rehash the past". Great way to finish off the old broken relationship and my wonderful present wife of 42 years has been someone I am thankful for every day of my life. I decided to LIVE LONG and LIVE WELL after the divorce and it worked out well. Forgive and forget the bad parts of your past and you'll be able to move on... and avoid speaking their name whenever possible as the sooner you (pretend to) forget them, the better. BTW, my ex decided to have a child soon after the split and it was so that she could have someone in her life that would love her to the end of her life. And that's when she had a special needs child that lives with her today. Karma can be brutal but... she got what she wished for.
I feel so old now, remembering the fact that the first time I saw her was on the old Nickelodeon skit comedy show You Can't Do That On Television as a kid.
She was a cast member on Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That On Television" kids variety show for a while in the 80's. Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters is the drummer that's in this video. And yes, Jagged Little Pill is a fantastic album top to bottom.
Wow a reaction video of people who actually sit and listened to the song/lyrics instead of talking through the whole thing! Excellent reaction video. 🙏🏼 I hate reaction videos when people don’t even listen to the freaking lyrics. You guys are great!
Alanis is a bizarre enigma. Almost every album was a rage filled, vengeful compilation of bile and venom like this... except there were always one or two on each CD that were just so optimistic, fluffy and cheerful, like 'Head over Feet' or 'One Hand in My Pocket.'
I just saw her last week in concert out here in California...she looks and sounds amazing. What a gal...but obviously, don't piss her off or you're her next big hit...lol. ❤❤❤❤
It's Alanis, pronounced like "Atlantis", minus the "t"s. In my high school chemistry class, one of they guys responded to the the teacher, asking "Isn't that ionic?". Everyone busted out laughing. Check out Enya. She composes her own music, and she plays piano. She has a lyricist, but she writes some songs, too. A Day Without Rain (instrumental song) Only Time This is from the first album of hers that I heard, which was when I was volunteering at a Headstart. It was played for nap time.
@@RayfordRaySiegel you said when you volunteer at a headscarf you played her album at naptime. I said hopefully not this song as it's not very kid friendly
@@XlissueslXgaming, I didn't say anything; I commented. You made a vague reply. You have to be specific, as to what you're referring to. I commented about two different things. Also, it's not a headscarf, and your first comment is hard to understand, because, beside being vague about the song, it has a double negative.
"Jagged Little Pill" is a classic. You must also consider Jewels album, "Pieces of You", Anita Baker's "Sweet Love" and a great 70's single, "At Seventeen" (live version) by Janice Ian, all great choices for your "Female Friday" segment. Keep up the great work. (other suggs, Joni Mitchells "Blue", Carol King "Tapestry", Bonnie Raitt, Amy Winehouse, Whitney, Janis Joplin....)
I loved this and still do. I had to run out and buy this cassette ( jagged little pill ). I played this over and over til it tore up. I remember every song on it was great. One of my favorites of all time. I loved the fact that it was empowering and men didn’t know what to think. Lol . My husband use to make fun of it. That was his way of handling the msg. Alanis is awesome. She was very popular in the 90’s. She could never top this LP tho. It was her debut album . I think it sold more than any of her other stuff. I absolutely love it. I may buy it again , there are some really great songs on here. Thanks guys. I love it. Alanis is awesome !!! 🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋
Yes, this. Under Rug Swept was a letdown in the public eye, but only because Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie were so amazing that expectations were extremely high. "21 Things", "Hands Unclean", "Precious Illusions", and "You Owe Me Nothing In Return" are the ones that make my all-albums Alanis playlist. "Hands Unclean" has a lot of personal relevance to me, for reasons that are made clear by listening to the song.
That whole album "Jagged Little Pill" is one of the best of all time.
It should be issued to every girl on their 13th birthday, it's has valuable lesson about womanhood.
For real!!!
ditto!
Agreed. A fantastic album that is part of my 90s soundtrack.

Later that day I went to the record store to get the cassette to listen in the car. I asked the clerk "Do you have Annette Morrison?" He looked me me and said "No. But we have Alanis Morissette".
What year was this?
@@iamshamarbutler3288 June, 1995. Now, if you'll excuse me while I freak out in disbelief.
@@garyonbroadway1919 You're excused because he oughta known
@@cubnation LOL. I meant I was freaking out because I was 33 when I first heard it; I turn 60 in two weeks. WHAT t f ?!
@@garyonbroadway1919 I was just teasing you because "imamshamarbutler" didn't know when this song came out. ✌✌
Can I get a witness here? This young man just had the best possible response to Alana’s message.
She was pouring her rage out and he said, “Go get him, Girl!”.
What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man.👏👏👏👏👏
What a mighty, mighty good man!
A year late, but I couldn't leave you hanging.
@@vdigiulio550 You made me laugh this morning, thank you 😉
what`s really interesting about this song is that it is actually what a man goes through during a break up...men take time, they stew on it, they get mad, they get vengeful...women just monkey branch onto the next guy without blinking...
Alanis *
@@jennevermore6937 my auto-spelling goof.
Jagged Little Pill is the quintessencial angry, empowered, "fed up of your BS" young 90's woman's album... And I love every track on it!!
Pick any song from this album and you can't go wrong. It's one of those rare occasions where the entire album is pure gold from start to finish. There are probably less than 100 albums like that in history, across all genres, and this is one of them.
The hidden track "Your House" might be the saddest song I've ever heard in my life.
"Your House" is insane. Sad yes... but she's describing walking through his empty house when he's not at home and using his things and trying on his clothes. It's just a bit crazy.
Your House was great but Uninvited is great too.
And the album almost didn't happen! The music was almost stolen from her at gunpoint.
NEVER screw over a songwriter, you WILL end up in a song, and the whole world will know who you are!
Few still remember Uncle Joey from Full House, but he will live FOREVER because of this song!
Omg is that who it’s about?! 🤣🤣🤣
@@AChickandaDuck According to him it is, since she has never said who is she writing songs about because it's personal.
I remember Joey, what happened, do tell do tell lol I did't hear about this back then Ihad a life. lol
Cool bit of trivia: the bass player in this recording is Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
And Dave Navarro on guitar
The foo fighters drummer....
Thanks
Great bass part. Wow.
Some bad ass musicians
This song, and this album, put female-fronted alternative rock bands on the map. This album is a legendary. And it was huge on the charts.
It's still one of the highest selling albums of all time. Not bad for a 21-year old kid from Canada.
My favorite female singer ever…
And the album almost didn't happen! The music was almost stolen from her at gunpoint.
She arrived at the same time as Shania Twain, + Celine Dion and shared the top ten charts. Three Canadian super talented women to listen on your list
Don’t forget Sarah. :)
She was also the first artist Madonna signed on her own label.
Not to forget Sarah McLachlan - and Avril Lavigne was in the mix too!
For me, Alanis is the best of the three!!
HER BEST SONG, IN MY OPINION, WAS 'UNINVITED' ... STILL GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS
S! My favorite as well
Isn't it ironic and Jagged Little Pill are two great ones from her too! Love her!
Yes!
Yes!!
Isn't it ironic should be renamed to Isn't it moronic because that song is MORONIC
@@dwayneadams8908 now that is ironic
It’s all so good. The lyrics, the vocals, that bass line! Taylor Hawkins on those drums. A perfect song.
and Flea on bass
Smashing those drums. The sound is so him!
Oh wow. Didn’t know Hawkins played skins on this! He’s sorely missed
@@traviscrockett3640 He was Alanis' touring drummer for Jagged Little Pill tour before joining Foos.
She did a concert video of the same name JLP Live. Taylor's playing on it. She's filming at a hotel balcony in one scene and yelling his name down to him and he looks up with his shirt pulled back over his head smiling. They all got into big whip cream fights on stage too. The video may be on here somewhere. I used to have it on VHS way back.
EDIT. Found it right from Alanis' own channel.
th-cam.com/video/jIRmCrHFXBw/w-d-xo.html
@@Augfordpdoggie NOPE !!! Matt Laug is on drums. She hired Hawkins for the tour and there after. RESERCH DUDE !!!
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"
I could see Diablo running for cover, tail between his legs, when this kind of rage is unleashed.
Love Alanis!! She's a bad ass
Maybe (this is just a joke, for thought) that was the problem, "she was a bad ass".
Jagged Little Pill is probably my favorite album of all time. You can listen to it cover to cover without skipping.
This and Fiona Apple's When The Pawn....
She hasn’t admitted straight up but supposedly its about dave coulier (uncle joey on full house). He said its about him because of the lyric “hate to bug you in the middle of dinner”. He said she called and he was busy eating so he told her ill call you back and never did.
See, I always picture this song being sung as she's getting dragged out of a restaurant by security.
They both said it! The proof is right here on TH-cam!
@@catofthecastle1681 ohhh!!! Ok...she was on howard stern a few years ago and said she wouldn’t say. So thats what i was going off. Thanks for verifying! Im going to have to look it up...
The song is universal for those who are left behind by their cheating significant other
@@catofthecastle1681 if you listen to the hidden track on the end of Jagged Little Pill you’ll hear what happened: she found his side chick’s messages.
One of the best rock / new wave / chicks - Chrissie Hynde from the PREENDERS - anything from the first album. She is an Icon. Hall of Fame singer/
Pretenders !!
I recommend Middle of the Road by the Pretenders.
Good recommendation Mookie, also Brass In Pocket & I'll Stand By You are my other 2 favorites
It's just the rage you feel when someone you love double crosses you. The pain and rage seeps through her vocals. It was so refreshing when it came out for us women. I know men were scared 😆
Yep, they were. So scared in fact that, fast forward almost 30 years, most boys/men these days are now girls/women (do a quick survey in any notionally female locker/rest room). And the ones that aren't women are gay so I guess that kinda fixes the whole hetero-normative love rat issue into the future (unless there's a war in which case finding anyone with the motivation or the cojones to actually fight might prove problematic).
It is hard to express just how big this album was. I saw her early in her tour at a small club (maybe 250 to 300 person capacity) about a year later I saw her perform again in a sold out stadium.
The rumor is that this song is about the actor who played Uncle Joey on Full House. She used to date him.
I thought she confirmed it?... And they are squared away now with no hard feelings.
they both have confirmed this..... It was Dave Coulier(sp)
Did they finally both confirm it? Awesome 😂😂😂
She was tripping.
It's true
She wrote it ❤️🔥. It is still fire…. Love your reactions!
Meredith Brooks - Bitch
K.D. Lang - Constant Craving
Sophie B Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover
Sarah McLachlan - In The Arms of An Angel
Dido - Thank You
All great female songs
I want to add Fiona Apple Criminal to this list :)
Excellent list! Add Alannah Myles- Black Velvet!
I was going to suggest Bitch lol. That one along with this one were THE female anthems bitd
@@phila3884 isn't that the song about Elvis?
@@tracyjohnson5023 That's it.
She calls out his lies. He promised he would hold her until he died, but he's still alive...
I love that line like I love Fiona Apple's "You say love is a hell you cannot bear, well I say give me mine back and then go there..." Angry women rock.
I love that you both were going into this "blind".
Ok...
I chuckled because I knew what was coming.
I first saw this on MTV, mid 90's not long after it had been released.
I literally watched it with my jaw on the floor, eyes big as saucers.
"Who is, what was, holy crap where did this come from?" was my reaction.
Immediately went out, bought the CD.
Every. Single. Song. Was. Incredible.
Un-effing-believable.
Alanis Morisette was a bubble gum pop star when she first appeared. This album completely changed her image, and she showed a substance that totally changed her musical style.
Get your heart ripped out in the 90s? Pop in this CD and just get it all out lol. Jagged Little Pill, is one of those absolutely iconic albums. That very last note on this song…whew just raw
Everyone in the 90s owned this CD , and Taylor Hawkins on drums doesn’t get much better than this ❤
He didn`t record on the album...he was the touring drummer though...
I have this album on LP and I think I still have the CD also. It's great.
I MISS THE 90’s 😭 I wanna go back so bad and relive my teenage years.
Yeeeeeesss!!!!!
Me too
When this song came out was the best time of my life. After this era, my life went WAY THE FK downhill so i really enjoy listneing to 90s music. Was the only decade i can honestly that i was glad to be alive. I love this crazy gal.
Same.... except without the insecurities and mad emotional rollercoaster of teenage angst. My 46 year old brain in my teenage body would be living her best life!😂
Me too!!
The drummer for, The Foo Fighters (Taylor Hawkins) played on this tour before joining the Foo's. You should check their song, Everlong.
And Flea played Bass and Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) was on Guitar for this song
I am nearly 100 percent sure that Taylor is in this video.
@@chris.fitzgerald
Yes, but he wasn't on the studio recording.
@@sean_b_drummer you are absolutely right. I remembered that once I saw your post. I remember seeing an interview with Taylor talking about the video and how it was like his first thing with the band.
It’s cute how this generation has flowers. We had. Alanis Morissette.
I think the closest modern equivalent is Olivia Rodrigo…Still doesn’t match up though
Makes no sense lol
Both songs are amazing. I was 12 in 1995. And Alanis was everything to me. But Flowers is also amazing. No need to be an elitist d*ck. (:
Yes we did but nothing wrong with Flowers!
I'm almost 41 and my boyfriend is 35, so he was much younger when this song came out. He said for years he thought she said "the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me", instead of "the cross I bear that you gave to me", lol. He admits he was WAY too old when he realized what she actually said, haha!
Damn it. I can't unhear that misheard lyric now. Lol.
@@christopherhiggins2350 me neither!!!! Ever since he told me that!
And the way my boyfriend told me was so funny. He was a kid when he heard it, and he was like, why did he give her a cross-eyed bear? WHY?!
Call Malinda!!
That's a very common mondegreen. LOL I always hear "cross-eyed bear" when I hear this song. I can't not hear it. XD
Misheard lyrics are my favorite, especially...
"Hold me closer, Tony Danza"
She was the new voice of the empowered woman that became a role model for a new generation of girls and young women. The empowerment that woman feel today can be attributed to her in the mid-1990s: it was something new at the time. Frankly, I like it.
Weeeell, the lyrics on the album come across like a young woman who grew up REAL fast looking into the life of The Guy Who Was Totally Wrong For Her.
I have loved her since I was a teen. This whole album is awesome. She's Canadian like me. New to your channel, loving it
😊
flea's bass was amazing on the song with Dave Navarro on guitar. she was definitely a driving force in music in the era
And also Alanis helped launch the career of Taylor Hawkins - drummer for Foo Fighters.
So many greats toured with her.
Madonna brought them to work with Alanis. And I prefer not to think what her music would have been with a male at the helm.
Black Velvet by Alannah Myles is another hot tune from another Canadian girl....!!!
If you really listen to the guitars, it's actually Flea (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers) on base and Dave Navarro on guitar! Epic to get these guys to play for her on this song!
I suggest "Thank You" for another Alanis Morissette. And for another female Friday you guys should get into Jewel, specifically "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Standing Still".
As I get older, "Thank You" means more & more. Even to tears sometimes. Perfect counterpoint to this song.
I loooove "Standing Still."
@@danigoddess Me too, it one of my favorites.
Thats the personification of 90s rock right there ;) Bass and Guitar from the Red hot Chili Peppers, DRummer from the Foo Fighters and Alanis at the vocals
Hard to believe all this was about Uncle Joey from Full House lol
Welcome to the 90's and the best angry chick rock song ever!
You really need to listen to “Isn’t it Ironic “ by her. What a great song! Thanks for your awesome reactions! I love you guys!!
Oh my YES!
I still love that song
It’s just called “ironic”
It wasn't ironic though, it was Sod's law...
@@annother3350 It was ironic that a song called "Ironic" didn't contain any examples of irony...
One of the best womens rock voices ever. She's so bloody good.
Jagged Little Pill is a phenomenal album beginning to end. I believe almost every song save for one or two were released as singles.
Her song “Uninvited” is my absolutely favorite. There’s an excellent live performance you should review. It’s awesome! 🥰
Another great song by alanis around the time I graduated high school 90s loved 80s and 90s music so much we. had so much great music.and look who's playing drums Taylor Hawkins who played with her before he joined the foo fighters and he passed recently RIP awesome drummer he will be missed thank you Taylor for all the great music and memories
No holds barred elemental FURY. Awesome song. I loved Rob's expression at several points in the video when he was like "Whoa, did she really just say that?", and yup. In a lot of other songs, it might not work, but given the raw emotional wound this song represents, it almost Requires that the lyrics do, in fact, go there.
I always felt Alanis spoke for so many women in that era!! I ran out and bought her music right away!!!
this song sounds as incredible as it did in the 1990s...!!!! she rocked this one out... great story too..
I still can't believe how sleazy Dave Coulier had to have been to have both this and No Scrubs by TLC written about him. But yeah, this was huge when it hit.
Cut-It-Out!
Yeah when I heard it was abt him all I could say was, the guy from Full House? Really? DAYUM!
@@HeatherHolt1313 yeah, he definitely F'ed up. Apparently, when Chili has confirmed the No Scrubs thing in interviews, she said he was lucky Left Eye wasn't there the day they ran into him b/c she would have beat the crap out of him.
I didn't know "No Scrubs" was about him too. DAMN!
How does no Scrubs have anything to do with him?
😲No, no, my friend. He told her she was the one till the day he died. Then, outta nowhere, dropped her like so much garbage. Now, she telling it. Calling him out for the absolute piece of shit that he is
Love when Alanis sings *that* line, and Jay leans to Amber as if to say “Hey did you catch THAT?” But Amb’s gives him the hand! Had to watch “the hand” several times! 😆
I never thought she was telling her dude you know I’m gonna take our break up badly. I just thought she was saying our break up was not amicable and feelings were hurt.
I was FRESH off my very first heartbreak in high school when I first saw this on MTV. It helped quite a bit. 😂 As if I really knew what being scorned meant at that time, but still.
This was outer limits popular and rocketed her into stardom, even though she was already big in Canada. Every girl/woman loved it and ate it up.
She goes “bunny boiling crazy” in this one!
If you look closely, you will see a young Taylor Hawkins playing drums for Alanis Morissette before joining one of the greatest rock bands The Foo Fighters
Flea is on bass
flea and dave navarro also had a hand in making this song
RIP ❤️
"And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it?"
Is one of the greatest questioned posed in a song!
What a tuuune! 🤘
"Univited" by her is complete opposite to this. It's a " you're in the friend zone" kinda song. It is chuffin awesome
The funny thing about this song is Alanis wrote this song after she broke up with Uncle Joey from "Full House".
He has also apologized for how he treated, after hearing this song and learning it was about him.
@@michaelconnor1542 I always heard it was about a producer of hers and Alanis has insisted that she will never reveal who the song is really about. Dave is only guessing it is about him from a line in the song.
Unconfirmed actually.
That has never been proven, only speculated. I tend to believe the explanation that it's more of a compilation about more than one guy.
@@shannoncopeland4506 Actually all of the Full House men thought that to be true because Dave Coulier, Uncle Joey, had just broken up with Alanis.
jagged little pill is FULL of great songs. one of my favorites and something a little different in sound is Perfect. it always gets me in the feels as someone with childhood issues where i always felt like i wasn't good enough.
I'm still crying and scream singing this EVERY time it comes on right now. I've loved this since I was 15, when it was released, and it has unfortunately come full circle and completely applies to my F'd up divorce that is currently tearing my family apart. Needless to say, I can relate.
Additionally, I don't feel that Alanis's message necessarily applies to only women here, just as I feel about music in general. Some lyrics I take literally, and others metaphorically, but the ENTIRE emotion is present and the circumstances described are ironic and coincidentally similar.
(Insert Schwarzenegger "Junior" joke.)
I just subbed last night because both of you are a pleasure to watch and your energy is light hearted and kind, especially toward each other. It's difficult to find time to smile right now, so I appreciate the thoughtfulness and respect that you guys are showing to your audience, and again, each other. Emotionally intelligent and insightful reviews. And y'all are just cute as a button!
With all the things that are going dark in the world today, thank you for this light.
✌️+❤️
Same! Divorce after 30 yrs of marriage is killing my soul and this song nails that feeling.
My first wife did a cheater behind my back and I did the divorce myself. I was very bitter for many years after but when she apologized over 40 years later (by an unexpected phone call one day), I said, "It's okay. We both made mistakes" and "I'll forgive you if you'll forgive me". But "let's not get together for coffee to rehash the past".
Great way to finish off the old broken relationship and my wonderful present wife of 42 years has been someone I am thankful for every day of my life. I decided to LIVE LONG and LIVE WELL after the divorce and it worked out well. Forgive and forget the bad parts of your past and you'll be able to move on... and avoid speaking their name whenever possible as the sooner you (pretend to) forget them, the better.
BTW, my ex decided to have a child soon after the split and it was so that she could have someone in her life that would love her to the end of her life. And that's when she had a special needs child that lives with her today. Karma can be brutal but... she got what she wished for.
She was pissed off!! A break up after a long relationship and then seeing him out with someone else soon afterwards after all the promises...yep!🤘
A rough, hard expression, for sure. Love the chorus…stellar performance.
I feel so old now, remembering the fact that the first time I saw her was on the old Nickelodeon skit comedy show You Can't Do That On Television as a kid.
WITH MOOSE!!
She was a cast member on Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That On Television" kids variety show for a while in the 80's. Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters is the drummer that's in this video. And yes, Jagged Little Pill is a fantastic album top to bottom.
He toured with her for a little while, but I’m not sure whether he shot music videos. I know he didn’t record anything with her. RIP :(
Oh I loved that
OMG I had no clue...I loved that show as a kid....mind is blown.
Now she's on The Great North. Sometimes.
Wow I thought I saw him, I know he toured with her but didn't realise he was on the video. RIP.
I was lucky enough to see her live just before she got huge. I saw her in a club in Vegas. Taylor Hawkins was on drums.
Alanis is one of my favourite female artists of all time, especially from this era. She was so angry it's beautiful.
Wow a reaction video of people who actually sit and listened to the song/lyrics instead of talking through the whole thing! Excellent reaction video. 🙏🏼 I hate reaction videos when people don’t even listen to the freaking lyrics. You guys are great!
Alanis is a bizarre enigma. Almost every album was a rage filled, vengeful compilation of bile and venom like this... except there were always one or two on each CD that were just so optimistic, fluffy and cheerful, like 'Head over Feet' or 'One Hand in My Pocket.'
Well. She was a Mouseketeer... I bet she has seen some stuff
"One Hand in My Pocket" is a great tune.
@@thorsluter7835 and the other one is giving a peace sign ✌️
@@pamelaforray4318 wait, I thought the other one was hailing a taxi cab...
@@thorsluter7835 it changes in the song. One time it was flicking a cigarette. Each chorus is slightly different
I saw her in concert early 90’s and she was awesome! Sounded just like she does on the album.
I just saw her last week in concert out here in California...she looks and sounds amazing. What a gal...but obviously, don't piss her off or you're her next big hit...lol. ❤❤❤❤
It's Alanis, pronounced like "Atlantis", minus the "t"s.
In my high school chemistry class, one of they guys responded to the the teacher, asking "Isn't that ionic?". Everyone busted out laughing.
Check out Enya. She composes her own music, and she plays piano. She has a lyricist, but she writes some songs, too.
A Day Without Rain (instrumental song)
Only Time
This is from the first album of hers that I heard, which was when I was volunteering at a Headstart. It was played for nap time.
Hopefully not this song wasn't played
@@XlissueslXgaming,
Hmm?
@@RayfordRaySiegel you said when you volunteer at a headscarf you played her album at naptime. I said hopefully not this song as it's not very kid friendly
@Hilltop JD614,
No. What's wrong with you? You don't get it, so you shouldn't be commenting.
@@XlissueslXgaming,
I didn't say anything; I commented. You made a vague reply. You have to be specific, as to what you're referring to. I commented about two different things. Also, it's not a headscarf, and your first comment is hard to understand, because, beside being vague about the song, it has a double negative.
"Jagged Little Pill" is a classic. You must also consider Jewels album, "Pieces of You", Anita Baker's "Sweet Love" and a great 70's single, "At Seventeen" (live version) by Janice Ian, all great choices for your "Female Friday" segment. Keep up the great work. (other suggs, Joni Mitchells "Blue", Carol King "Tapestry", Bonnie Raitt, Amy Winehouse, Whitney, Janis Joplin....)
I loved this and still do. I had to run out and buy this cassette ( jagged little pill ). I played this over and over til it tore up. I remember every song on it was great. One of my favorites of all time. I loved the fact that it was empowering and men didn’t know what to think. Lol . My husband use to make fun of it. That was his way of handling the msg. Alanis is awesome. She was very popular in the 90’s. She could never top this LP tho. It was her debut album . I think it sold more than any of her other stuff.
I absolutely love it. I may buy it again , there are some really great songs on here.
Thanks guys. I love it.
Alanis is awesome !!!
🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋🦄🦋
"21 Things I Want In A Lover" is a forgotten, unknown gem by her. Awesome track.
Yes, this. Under Rug Swept was a letdown in the public eye, but only because Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie were so amazing that expectations were extremely high. "21 Things", "Hands Unclean", "Precious Illusions", and "You Owe Me Nothing In Return" are the ones that make my all-albums Alanis playlist. "Hands Unclean" has a lot of personal relevance to me, for reasons that are made clear by listening to the song.
Jagged Little Pill has a bunch of great songs I love almost every single one of them
I love Alanis. This one of my fav songs of the 90's
Her cover of "My Humps" is utterly hilarious. And no, I'm not joking about that song's existence.
Wait…..what? Off I go….
@@GenXDaddyO 🤣😂🤣
I'm checking it out as well
Alanis wrote this song after her breakup with Dave Coulier ( Uncle Joey ) from Full House
✂️ it out 😂
I did not know this.
I think this falls under the category of Pop Rock! She is awesome !
Well done you two! Alanis doesn’t pull any punches…ever.
The whole album is fantastic . She also did a song on the movie City of Angels called Uninvited which is hauntingly beautiful
