Alanis went OFF on her debut song from her fantastic album "Jagged Little Pill". "You Oughta Know" is easily one of the best songs from a female artist in the last 15 years. Alanis has more talent in one finger than many of all the other female artists combined. Her vocals are SO on point, it's not even funny. The pre-chorus of the song is the true highlight. This too is the section where Flea from the Peppers shows his funk chops.

"Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not going to fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it"

BUT here's the lyric that's OFF the hook;

"And everytime I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it....Can you feel it?"

Alanis sounds so good and sexy, a part of my body stands erect...Damn, did I just say that?..Oh well, whatever. This song is bumpin' something serious. When this first came out, I knew this girl was something special and DEFINATELY someone to reckon with. And she's hella cute to boot. Anyway, who else out there digs this song?

I wore out Jagged Little Pill for about six months and then I threw it out. Not because it was a bad album, but just because it was everydamnwhere. Everyone was talking about this song when it was out, be it because they loved it, thought it was anti-male, couldn't get enough of it, disliked her singing voice...the list goes on. The song made an impression, that's for sure. But now, when I hear the lyrics "Are you thinking of me when you f@ck her," or "Would she go down on you in a theatre," and remember that it's about this guy...



...I kinda throw up in my mouth a little.

I shudder when I hear this song. And not in a good way.

ive grown to appreciate alanis...but when i heard this song i was soo annoyed at her wannabe sinead act..

sorry , btw , Blackguitaristz

Sorry for what, Dew?

For saying her voice is horrible

I thought it was Sinead at first, but I thought "Finally Sinead's doing something exciting again!"

Alanis showed a lot of promise, and Jagged Little Pill is good pop, but I got real tired of her real fast.

She wasn't ever able to make great pop songs again like she (and Glen Ballard) did on that album.

I like her cover of Seal's Crazy, though.

Whaaat?! Alanis was dating THIS cat?! That's who's the song about?! Damn, Rip. U done blew my imagery of the song and shit.

It seems so. She's said that she'll never tell who it was about, but it's generally assumed the song is about Coulier.
