Best song on Jagged Little Pill

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

hot off the press: 'you oughta know' wins in landslide.

did you guys know that song was about full house funnyman, dave coulier?

that's what i hear

i'm into the top 4 results tho, 3 of those were my top 3 pix.

I used to think that Alanis Morissette was related to Morrissey. How they were related, I don't know.

cosmically. cosmically they may be related.

woulda been more entertaining if it were "You Oughta Fart"

^:(

bo :( :( :( :( :( :(

i'd swap 2nd and 3rd place but i think these results more or less put the singles from this album in the correct order of quality. jesus, though, 6 big singles (5 with videos) for such a terrible terrible artist.

was All I Really Want a single? shoulda been i s'pose

i dunno if i agree with the Head Over Feet result... i mean it's a little BLA

yeah the videos were BIG!!

esp. the Ironic video. haha

"All I Really Want" didn't have a video but it was a big modern rock hit.

The best song on the album is down at number five. Isn't it ironic?

I'm unpleasantly surprised by all this Alanis hate. She's written some great songs.

And as good as this album is, the second one is even better.

irony <> fibbing.

justice is served

really?? the second one??

Yeah, SFIJ is great.

alanis' second record unfortunately has a title that turned me off ever giving it a chance

I grew to like "Thank U" but don't remember one single thing off the rest of this record, despite owning it. So I vote "Thank U" in the surely-never-to-happen SFIJ poll.

I'm glad they blurred out Alanis's naked body in that video. If they hadn't, lunches would have been lost across America.

cuz I'm Lucas with the lid off.....

yeah the decision to blur out the naked woman's body was in no way forced by television executives but was totally made by alanis's people so props to them cuz it totally could have gone on air full frontal and what a disaster that would have been.

you thought janet jackson was bad?!

anybody remember that MTV commercial back around that time with that black dude that's driving through and sees Alanis (actually a goofy looking actress pretending to be Alanis) singing the song and he says something like "ahh hell no" and at the end tells her to put some clothes on or something.

The first and third lines of the chorus never change, which means that if she'd wanted to (or tried), she could've switched a few lines around and gotten "fine fine/peace sign", "just yet/cigarette" and "all right/high five", all without changing the essential meaning of the song - whatever that is - but she didn't.

Holy shit!

Also, holy shit is the harmonica soolo on that song hilarious or what?

The reaction to SFIJ was really bizarre and annoying. Essentially, people hated the Thank U video (or thought it was stupid), and then didn't bother to notice that all the other singles (and their videos!) were awesome. Thank U got huge airplay on MTV, and then the rest of the videos got ignored (this was back when MTV affected the music business).

haha this poll is so otm. i remember these singles coming out so long after each other i thought they were from separate albums? (lol 15).

some girl from my mormon religious association played 'you oughta know' at a ward dance! so shocking at the time ('f' word and all!) i really ought to find her and give her a post-hoc congrats. it's a great song as is everything else that placed. (i never heard anything that didn't cuz i never owned the cd but i sure heard all of those singles.)

i'm lost but i'm hopeful baby

im broke but im happy

first time Alex in NYC have ever been aligned.

*and I

woulda been more entertaining if it were "You Oughta Fart"

totally never remember posting that but it makes sense...

no luv for "perfect"

My love for "You Oughta Know" has not dimmed since original poll
