MOOPY ALBUM SYNC LISTEN - Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill

[dUb]

Are there any other songs that come to mind that acknowledge their own FORM in that meta kind of way?

 

[Iguana]

Yeah, the harmonica is great. It's a shame that it flopped as a single release, but I don't remember much promo.

It was a weird one - there was no video, it wasn't released in the US... it never felt like a proper single I guess

 

[Tisch]

I remember being amazed by the "here can you handle this" silence

At gigs now she holds for applause and it's amaze

 

[Iguana]

Side note: they really fucked that bit up in the musical in MY OPINION. It goes "here can you handle this" and then it shows images of Me Too protests or something. I can't really REMEMBER but it was crap.

It sounds about as woke as I imagine it to be

 

[lolly]

All I Really Want seemed somehow weaker than I remember it

 

[Iguana]

At gigs now she holds for applause and it's amaze

And she screams away from the mic: "Here can you handle thisAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

 

[Tisch]

The one that launched it all YOU OUGHTA KNOW.

Fun fact, in about 2002 my mum found the lyrics, printed them off and posted them in a card to her friend who'd just been cheated on. She thought the words were very "apt"

08 All I Really Want

 

[SDF]

Sorry I'm a little late to the party

 

[dmlaw]

The lyrics make 'You Oughta Know'. There's a real sense of spiteful anger to it.

 

[Iguana]

I was 8 when I excitedly told my dad that this song has the lyric "Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?"

 

[lolly]

The VENOM when she SPITS out the FUCK line

 

[SDF]

Just listening now, side note are we listening to the anniversary edition?

My favourite is to come. So evocative.

EDIT: The scratch my nails down someone else's back line I mean

 

[dUb]

Spoiler: would you go down on him in a theatre

 

[lolly]

Just listening now, side note are we listening to the anniversary edition?

I'm doing the 2015 remaster

 

[Iguana]

"Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it" is SUCH a good line

 

[lolly]

08 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know

 

[Lucille]

Would she go down on you in a THEATRE.

 

[Tisch]

It's the 2015 remaster which Spotify treats as the 'main' version these days so yeah.

 

[Iguana]

My favourite is to come.

That's generally what happens when someone goes down on you in a theatre

 

[dmlaw]

I was 8 when I excitedly told my dad that this song has the lyric "Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?"

I was twelve when I bought the album and I'd only heard the censored radio versions, so it was a real shock when I heard that line.

 

[Iguana]

10 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know

But I mean...it's going to be like this the whole way through

 

[SDF]

07 All I Really Want

 

[Tisch]

Perfect still really GETS TO ME. No spoilers, but the last line still makes me weep (inside)

 

[dUb]

Broadway Musical Insight: You Oughta Know is sung by an aggrieved lesbian character and I didn't care for her at all but it 'stops the show' (ie they stand there and wait for people to stand up)

Pat Sharp?

 

[Jark]

06 All I Really Want
09 You Oughta Know

 

[lolly]

I was twelve when I bought the album and I'd only heard the censored radio versions, so it was a real shock when I heard that line.

Same as me (but many years previously and a few years younger) when I heard the 'pain in the ass' version of Heart Of Glass.

Ha!

 

[SDF]

07 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know (I'm skipping half of this, so I can catch up, I'll go back at the end though )

 

[Iguana]

@dUb did you actually like the musical??

 

[SDF]

The first time I heard Perfect, I think I fell in love.

 

[lolly]

08 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know
06 Perfect

 

[Iguana]

07 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know (I'm skipping half of this, so I can catch up, I'll go back at the end though )

You'll get the Jimmy The Saint Blend anyway won't you? Actually I don't know if that is on this edition

 

[Iguana]

10 All I Really Want
10 You Oughta Know
09 Perfect

 

[dUb]

I'm not listening to this but i will just post about the musical if that's ok. A post is a post!

Perfect is sung by the brother of the main family who has a lot of expectations on him as a sporty CIS MALE. he's quite handsome but very dull and lots of people wanted the number to be cut

 

[Tisch]

We'll love you, just the way you are
If you're perfect



I cry everytim

 

[Jark]

06 All I Really Want
09 You Oughta Know
08 Perfect

Perfect is quite a sad song really. I love her more delicate vocal moments.

I know very little about the musical so any insight is good to know! I probably will see it if it gets to London (and the world hasn't ended)
