Ironic

Lyrics

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

It's ironic that this song is called ironic
Song is full of irony moron.
Love her I sang one of songs in th taken show
Perhaps the irony is that the song is not full of irony... Alanis is a really smart chick.
I love this song but have never heard of the singer
love herrrr. ironic huh? lol folliw mr if u like
Awesome song!! Alanis was a great powerhouse in the 90s!! ✌����

There is more than one definition of irony... this song does not follow the definition of literary irony. Even if it attempted to that would be a silly thing ti nitpick. Since when do most songs make perfect sense or follow all the rules of language? Enjoy the music and move on. ;)

love her voice

Word of Gawd
I love this song!!!!!!!! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
It's a good sign when there's rain on your wedding day
WONDERFUL SONG...CINDY

I understand the conversation about the difference between irony and unfortunate events. But, I think we can all agree that "isn't it ironic, don't you think" has a better flow to it than "isn't it an unfortunate event, don't you think."
Catchy I love it!!
its better by original

This song irritates me to no end. Films About Ghosts is completely right-- the only thing ironic is that this song is not ironic at all!
I love this song!
Rain on a wedding day isn't unfortunate unless it is an outdoor wedding.
I love this song
Isn that Ironic then, F.A.G.? That she wrote a song about irony that did not contain any irony?
This song is actually not ironic at all. We discussed irony in English class and all of these things mentioned in this song are just unfortunate. You see there is a complicated process in making something ironic and she didn't follow it.
Very ironic
life has a funny way of helping you out.
what if i meet that dude and he's already married... NOOOOOOOOOO!
sigh, soundtrack of my life right now. really sucking right now
Such an ironic black fly.

you can't help but love this song especially as you get older and it makes more and more sense. Life is full of ironic moments.
the chorus is kinda lame

amazings ong! so ironic, don't you think? :D
dang she is way out there
is that her hand? just wondering!
Alanis is the Art Garfunkle, Jimi Hendrix, Blondie of her time. Her music is harsh, fresh and real. She says what has to be said and she says it oh so very well. Pink comes close to her but Alais is the best. This aint no Britney, dude.
alexis.thoma n n
me too!
I really like this song, I think Alanis Morissette is very inspiring.
