I find it amusing that both "When I Come Around" and Good ar eon here when they are essentially the same song.

U2 - one of my fave U2 songs.Bush were terrible, they seemed to be popular solely because of their lead singer's vague physical resemblance to Kurt Cobain.

is she perverted like me? would she go down on you in a theater?
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
lol wasn't it allegedly about some actor like john larroquette or someone
― fauxmarc, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
and are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
it's so weird, given how alanis turned out, how fucking brilliant "you oughta know"s lyrics are, how viciously and concisely she tells her story

dude how were you alive in the 90s and don't know exactly which actor it was (xpost)
― some dude, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
There's not a song on this list I like even a little bit.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
dig, if you will, a picture of Alanis going down on John Larroquette in a theater

wtf You Oughta Know is going to win this? really?
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:53 (twelve years ago) link
also wtf Bullet With Butterfly didn't hit #1
it's always interesting to see which songs hit #1 vs. which ones actually had longevity on the radio
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
1979 is the bigger surprise tbh (or will that show up in 96?)
I havent heard JAR in forever and it sounds p rad; You Oughta Know is probably my favorite Flea guest appearance; and I have always had a soft spot for Tomorrow, will never forget the Trouser Press 90s book comparing that song to Bad Company...
probably end up voting for one of those three
― thillrer (loves laboured breathing), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link
1979 was a #1

Except one is the actual best song on this list and the other is by Better than fucking Ezra.

Two things:
1.) I have never heard that rumor and I was alive in the 90s.
2.) I just googled it and GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE WAHT.
― pplains, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
Oasis, easily. Like Deric, I'll give Alanis credit for effectively evoking something.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
xp When I Come Around and Good are not the same song. ?

I thought everyone knew who YOK was about.

Although lol at the thought of her giving JL a blowie.

Guys it's so much worse than Laroquette: Dave Coulier!

yes, laroquette is a much more respectable actor to suck off in public, can't deny that.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
never loved "Glycerine" but I remember fondly Michael Stipe on MTV introducing the song by explaining the title compounds uses for buggery.
voted Alanis.
― Euler, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
I forgot the name of that really bizarre follow-up to Donnie Darko that had like 40 famous people in it, but at one point someone says a phone number and I was bored enough to try calling it, and turns out it was John Laroquette's voicemail.
Yeah anyway..
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
I disliked that Alanis song then and more so now. It's so horribly over the top bad.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link
xp don't judge me, Rev

if we're going through the "Nightcourt" cast then Richard Moll is a better fit

i don't even think who it was about was revealed until a few years back, definitely not while the song was big
― fauxmarc, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
I dont think I ever knew Flea was in that, whoops!
― thillrer (loves laboured breathing), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:18 (twelve years ago) link
It wasn't too long afterwards.. I think it was one of those late-90's internet rumors, similar to "marilyn manson was on the wonder years" or "billy corgan was on small wonder."
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
Except that it's actually confirmed that Uncle Joey and Alanis dated. I just don't think it's confirmed whether "You Oughta' Know" is about him specifically.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
I heard that from some pretty major media outlets. I imagine there could be some libel charges flying around if it wasn't true...
― thillrer (loves laboured breathing), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:43 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know if Alanis ever commented on it, but Dave sure has.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
Oh weird, I knew it was Dave Coulier but somehow, that was always Uncle Jesse in my head. I only realized now that it was Uncle Joey.

almost missed this
"Wonderwall" it is
lots of honorable mentions though. Bush, "Comedown" and Green Day, "When I Come Around" are pretty good

The thing that disturbed me about the Coulier story is that Alanis was still very young when You Oughtta Know came out so she must have been a teenager when she was dating him.
