Alanis Morrissette's 'Ironic'
Having considered the lyrics to Alanis Morissette's 'Ironic' it has come to my attention that there is very little if any, actual Irony in the incidents she describes. As such I believe the song should change its name to 'Unfortunate' as they are essentially a series of unfortunate incidents.
For example if the 98 year old man was an employee of the Camelot Group then maybe his Lotto Win may be considered Ironic. Or if A weather man was getting married and it rained then ok maybe.
As it is though I think its all wrong and shouldnt be allowed to perform at V until she changes the song name and lyrics.
What do you reckon?

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
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
