Watch Alanis Morissette & James Corden Sing “Ironic” With Updated Lyrics On The Late Late Show

By The Audio Mug | November 10, 2015

Last week, Alanis Morissette gave her 20-year-old song “Ironic” new legs by clucking out the tune with some help from Jimmy Fallon, Meghan Trainor and a couple of chicken suits on The Tonight Show. It was a great way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her 1995 album Jagged Little Pill, but the Canadian singer wasn’t finished revamping the decidedly dated — and, let’s face it, non-ironic — track. On Monday’s The Late Late Show with James Corden, Morissette teamed up with James Corden – both donning the ski cap and thick braids the artist wore back in the 1996 video – for a performance of “Ironic.” Except this time, the lyrics were radically updated to reflect a 2015 world. Watch below plus Morrisette performed another Jagged Little Pill track “Head Over Feet.”

Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill turns 20 this year, and Morissette herself just released a massive 20th-anniversary edition of the album. She was on The Tonight Show Tuesday to promote it. But Jimmy Fallon had other plans for her. Fallon, Morissette and recent-vintage pop star Megan Trainor dressed-up as an all-chicken band called Jagged Little Chick and performed a version of “Ironic” that consists entirely of chicken clucks. Morissette also did an acoustic take on “Hand In My Pocket,” and both videos can be watch below.

Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill Turns 20

It’s remarkable that Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill struck a sympathetic chord with millions of listeners, because it’s so doggedly, determinedly insular. This, after all, plays like an emotional purging, prompted by a bitter relationship — and, according to all the lyrical hints, that’s likely a record executive who took advantage of a young Alanis. She never disguises her outright rage and disgust, whether it’s the vengeful wrath of “You Oughta Know” or asking him “you scan the credits for your name and wonder why it's not there.” This is such insider information that it’s hard to believe that millions of listeners not just bought it, but embraced it, turning Alanis Morisette into a mid-'90s phenomenon. Perhaps it was the individuality that made it appealing, since its specificity lent it genuineness — and, even if this is clearly an attempt to embrace the "women in rock" movement in alterna-rock, Morissette’s intentions are genuine. Often, it seems like Glen Ballard’s pop inclinations fight against Alanis’ exorcisms, as her bitter diary entries are given a pop gloss that gives them entry to the pop charts. What’s all the more remarkable is that Alanis isn’t a particularly good singer, stretching the limits of pitch and credibility with her octave-skipping caterwauling. At its core, this is the work of an ambitious but sophomoric 19-year-old, once burned by love, but still willing to open her heart a second time. All of this adds up to a record that’s surprisingly effective, an utterly fascinating exploration of a young woman’s psyche. As slick as the music is, the lyrics are unvarnished and Morissette unflinchingly explores emotions so common, most people would be ashamed to articulate them. This doesn’t make Jagged Little Pill great, but it does make it a fascinating record, a phenomenon that’s intensely personal.
