When Alanis Morisette appeared on Late Night with James Corden she performed what was (apparently) a corrected version of her song ‘Ironic’ which, in a way, was incredibly ironic as it still didn’t feature any ironies(!) So I figured this – as with her original version – needed amending.
Ironic - Updated Version (with corrections) not by Alanis Morisette
An old friend sends you a Facebook request
Who claimed time in Facebook they’d never invest
You switch heels for flats but you still take a fall
You get that new iphone and then find out that it won’t make calls
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate
Yet you designed the user-friendly interface
It’s a tweet against tweeting that gets lots of faves
And who would’ve thought it figures
It’s like using sat nav to avoid the traffic you’ve found
Try to get out but the sat nav sends you back round
It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts saying gender equality is here
It’s hearing ‘Ironic’s been updated, but lyrics still don’t adhere
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
It’s like getting a free ride when you’ve booked Taxis-To-Go
It’s travelling to Iceland only to learn in England it snowed
It’s like a failed delivery on a customer service How-to
And who would’ve thought it figures
It’s like a Netflix advert extolling DVDs
It’s getting a free burger when you’ve given up meat
It’s singing “Ironic,” when there are no ironies
And who would’ve thought it figures
