The entire Jagged Little Pill album is so good! She helped set the stage for female singer/songwriters to realize it’s okay to express their raw emotions and pain, unapologetically through their music.
The scary part is that she was only one of a dozen Canadian Female Led Rock Bands in Canada at the time. It was glorious, and so different than anywhere else.
All these decades later I still know every note, every word of this song- it’s still the only song I’ve ever heard by a female artist (I’m almost 50😳)that expresses THIS level of anger. I think (besides her unique voice and a star studded band behind her) the reason this song became so popular and beloved is because of the expression of her anger at his betrayal ... The brutal honesty of how angry betrayed and hurt she felt was perfectly captured in this song. And that’s something you still don’t get to hear from female artists!
Well said. Taylor Swift had a few songs in the 2000s, but I think those fall under Bubblegum Pop. As far as Angry Rock, one of the only current songs I can think of that expresses anger like this is "Animosity" by The Warning.
I had my daughter listening to this when she was closer to college age, to my surprise I was walking into her crew meet and heard it blasting from the warm up room..she had it on the warm up playlist and had her whole crew team into it-I felt a little proud moment knowing I had a little bit part in introducing about 20 college girls to some real music!
This album is incredible. Forget the commercial success, almost every song is brilliant, lyrically, emotionally, sonically, instrumentation, contextually etc. She was, and still is, a truly special artist and this album was, to simply describe, was “the perfect storm”
This spoke to so many women of all ages, so relatable, of being unexpectedly kicked in your gut by someone you cared deeply about. The grief, deep heartbreak replaced by the raw angry wrath of a banshee who gave everything and was thrown aside without a care, pushed to the edge of insanity but empowering as a new strength was found to walk away with an "you're loss, I'm worth more..." ...btw we ALL knew who it was about, definitely his loss.
There is a hidden track on this album. You had to wait a few minutes and it’s one of the most ethereal songs. It’s called Your House. You so t regret it.
Alanis...Goddess, weirdo...love her. She's amazing live... In this video, the beautiful and extraordinary Taylor Hawkins on drums....damn it, we miss you 💔
The in-your-face lyrics tend to overshadow the incredible performance from the musicians. Flea sounds like someone said - you figure this out. Nasty bass line - nasty
friendly reminder, I pan the camera to help prevent the video from getting it blocked. I was able to get away with not doing it as much this time, but I still had to. Thanks for understanding. Enjoyed this so much.
This album skyrocketed here to the top and the fame ended up overwhelming her that she took time off to go to India to balance out. Uninvited is one of my favs by her. Cheers 🇨🇦
Taylor Hawkins on drums too...such a phenomenal line up of folks performing on this one. Look into the Lilith Fair if you want to see what some amazing woman musicians were doing in that alt/post grunge time 🖤
He's on the video, but he isn't in the recording, he only joined her band after the album had been already recorded. He played it in the live versions of the tour (and you can hear the difference, it get's a lot more shuffle).
This entire album basically taught a young female population that it was okay to be angry and fight back. I was a freshman in college in 1995 and this album, and especially this song, was constantly reverberating through the dorms. Whether it was just introducing me to a new genre of music, or whether it opened the door to other strong female artists at the time, I'm not sure, but the five years that followed were full of songs of female empowerment. Meredith Brooks' Bitch, and Shawn Colvin's Sonny Came Home, are great examples of this. It's something I was just talking to my 16-year-old daughter about the other day. Thanks for taking a look and pulling me back to that for a while this morning. 💛
This song is so good. You really feel this one. Every time she says “But you’re still alive!” Like it’s an accusation you want to ask whoever that is why he isn’t freaking dead yet. And when she says “And every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back, I hope you feel. Well can you felt it?” My face just mirrors that emotion. I’ve never even had a nasty break up like this and I fully empathize. The lyrics are good, the production is good, that base line is so good but her delivery drives it to 11 out of 10.
Every time I listen to this song I have to play it two or three times minimum. You can hear in her voice and see in the video, she is just metaphorically bleeding all over the stage, someone ripped her heart out and she is holding it up to the light to show everyone what they did. In a world where women still get discouraged from taking up emotional space, that's such a powerful thing to do.
Oh yes! I agree so much with this. The 90's also gave us Tori Amos, with Crucify ("So you can make me cum / That doesn't make you Jesus") and Hey Jupiter ("if my heart's soaking wet, Boy your boots can leave a mess") - but You Oughta Know was sheer anger + hurt. Women generally aren't allowed to be angry, and this song was so damn cathartic and unique. Totally an anthem for every woman ever dumped.
Thanks for your reaction! This whole album is terrific and won her a Grammy award. Although Alanis claims she wrote this for herself and it is not about any one in particular, actor Dave Coulier (he played Uncle Joey in "Full House") states this song is about him. Alanis was a teenager at the time they were involved and he was quite a bit older. David broke it off to date someone his own age. Some of the lyrics were direct statements to him and the time line of when this song came out are about right. That is Taylor Hawkins playing drums in this song.
Alanis raw talent, raw words, everyone knows what she is singing about. when my grandkids are teenagers and old enough to understand the meaning of this song hope they enjoy it as much as i did, timeless I'm 60 and i can only hope they pass it along for the next generation to enjoy and pass it to their children.so thank you Salvog for keeping it alive .it needs to be heard.
Mad to think that if not for Madonna, this album might never have gotten out there. They recorded the album first then shopped it around looking for a record deal. Every major label turned it down. It was Madonna's small record label Maverick that signed Alanis Morissette and released the album. It's the biggest selling debut album worldwide of all time, at 33 million copies!
I just saw her sing that at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in LA...Picture 10,000 women on their feet screaming out the lyrics of this song. Powerful.
Oh man, you definitely inspired me to break out Jagged Little Pill. I played the crap out of that album back in the day, and sang with it at the top of my lungs. It is so empowering, cathartic, and both lyrically and musically impressive. I just love that Alanis played God in Dogma, the cult classic movie written by Kevin Smith starring Matt Damon, Ben Afleck, and about 10 other insanely good actors and comedians including George Carlin, Alan Rickman...seriously, everyone was in that film, it was an embarrassment of riches, and Alanis's God just made me so happy, lol.
This song was groundbreaking when it came out. Unquestionably. Lyrically, vocally, everything. Groundbreaking. I love some of her acoustic performances of it because you hear the hurt, not the anger.
You should react to all her songs from this album. One of the best albums ever made by anyone. Also her performance of the song uninvited at an awards show is amazing as well
Basically it is a song dedicated to an ex-love after a breakup where, although she wishes him well, she has a few questions and feels perhaps some of their issues were unresolved, and she may not be experiencing a complete sense of closure.
Yeah because she was strung along by someone who led her to believe he was being honest and sincere... most likely due his own baggage. He used her body and wasted her time. Should have made it clear... "I'm not looking for anything serious atm". So easy to say... but some people can't seem to utter the words... but they can rattle off every other lie in the book 🤣🤣!
The Jagged Little Pill album is a masterpiece. Alanis' lyrics are some of the best in the business. One of the few artists who can write whole songs were the lines/lyrics don't rhyme so it comes across more like the story she is trying to tell. Alanis is the GOAT. Her live performances are superb too.
Alanis is a musical goddess who doesn’t get the attention or credit she deserves these days. Definitely check out more of her work and if you like it, you should check out Fiona Apple. Musics geniuses.
Рік тому+1
This is a masterpiece, she is an amazing song writing and an absolutely perfect singer. Thanks for show this to new generation.
There was a bonus track on this album called Would you forgive me love, and every time it played my infant daughter would cry and cry, almost like it was painful to her.
I’ve seen her 5 times in concert over several decades and every time she sings this, she has the same amount of emotion as her video. One time, flames were coming up from the stage all around her. It was awesome!
Very sad... Gen X men could be some serious douche bags at times. They say boomers are oversexed and players etc.. but in my experience Gen X men were far worse.
@@Not-Ap I don't judge people or men by the generation they are from. Every generation has its own range of good and bad people. For me this song doesn't feel "very sad". It became an anthem for women because it acknowledged that women were empowered to call out the bad behavior of men.
Such a fan! This album came out when I was graduating college in New York City. My five year relationship had just ended and three months later he was married to someone else! I remember blasting this song on repeat screaming along. It became my anthem as she put into words everything that was going through my head. Alanis rocks. The whole album jagged Little pill is beautiful and they eventually made a Broadway play called jagged Little pill using all the music from this album! Welcome to Alanis. Can’t wait to see more. Love your reactions. ❤️🫶🏻✌️
Personnel on this track include Flea on bass (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Dave Navarro on guitar (Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers). Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) RIP was featured as the drummer in the video and was in the band at the time, however was not on the recording. Great artist, great song, great album. Check out one of her live performances, her voice is incredible. I would suggest the live version of Uninvited.
The song "All I Really Want" is my favorite on this album. All the songs are amazing on it. This song launched a whole bunch of awesome music by women.
Oh yes, this whole album was a staple of mine in college (1996-1999), especially this song after a particularly nasty breakup. It was on top volume in my car with the windows down (except I would turn the volume off for the 'f' word, lol). I think my favorite song on that album is "Forgiven". And yes, I still have this album on my playlist and listen to it often. Also, interesting fact, Alanis was on the Nickelodeon TV show "You Can't Do That On Television". I used to watch that in the 80's and remember her being on it.
This got heavy rotation on MTV - back when MTV played videos. So this was huge. Radio stations bleeped the bad words. I bought Jaged Little Pill. Everyone I knew had the album. Again, this was huge. So honest and raw. I found it refreshing.
Her drummer in this video is Taylor Hawkins. He's the drummer from the Foo Fighters who passed a few months ago. He left Morissette band to join the Foo Fighters.
Absolute ferocious bitterness - an astonishing piece of work. Jagged Little Pill was an incredible album, this track was the lead exposure and it's still ferocious to this day.
Actor Dave Coulier ('Joey' on Full House) had a relationship with Morissette in 1997. Discussing the first time he heard ‘You Oughta Know’, Coulier said: “I’m driving in Detroit and I’ve got my radio on, and I hear the hook for ‘You Oughta Know’ come on the radio. I’m like, ‘Wow this is a really cool hook.’ And then I start hearing the voice and I’m like, ‘Wow, this girl can sing…’ And then I was listening to the lyrics, going, ‘Oh no. Oh, I can’t be this guy!’”
I absolutely love this song!! She said it was so emotional singing it in concert on tour- and I think about the guy in the song (and those of us that heard it when it came out knew exactly who it was about as did he - it really wasnt a secret) poor schmuck heard it everywhere he went for months! That's right cheater, think about what you did! And know everyone else is too every time this song is played! Genius
Great reaction! Alanis was my favorite female artist at that time. Her album Jagged Little Pill is amazing. My favorite song of that album is Hand in my Pocket.
I was 12 or 13 and grew up during the best time ever. My older sister had this album, and I was OBSESSED. 90’s alternative is my absolute favorite, and Alanis is at the top of the list. I LOVE her honesty, and anger, and the vibe she brings to all of her music. She doesn’t hold back with her thoughts, words, or feelings, and that was just so refreshing.
She has a lot of great songs. My favorite is "Uninvited," which isn't from this album but from a movie soundtrack. But JLP has a lot of great songs on it. My fave from it would have to be, "All I really Want." It's her other really "hard" rocking song from this album. There are few other really good ones, "Hand In My Pocket" and "You Learn" are more upbeat songs. Also, it was one of the first CD's to have a "hidden" track. Which was a trend in the 90's. Certain bands would record additional music or messages on the last track of a CD, but it wouldn't play until after a few minutes. Most people, when they hear the last song on an album end and then silence after that would think the album's is over and take the CD out and play something else. In her case, the "hidden" track was number 13, even though there were only 12 listed on the back cover. It's an alternate version of "You Oughta Know" and after about a minute of silence, she sings an absolutely haunting and heartbreaking acoustic song. Check it: ua-cam.com/video/NltkkFv4F9E/v-deo.html
She was pissed...one of the best female rockers telling it like it is...
The entire Jagged Little Pill album is so good! She helped set the stage for female singer/songwriters to realize it’s okay to express their raw emotions and pain, unapologetically through their music.
Yeah this album ruled the planet from mid 90’s on!!
She is beloved amongst metalheads, because she was real. Just as heavy, but in a different way. 🤘
The scary part is that she was only one of a dozen Canadian Female Led Rock Bands in Canada at the time. It was glorious, and so different than anywhere else.
there is no bad song on jagged little pill. glad i had the opportunity to grow up on it
@@jaredknutson6484 AGREED AND DITTO!!!!!!!!!
I went thru a divorce in 2000 while i was pregnant, and that was my cross to bear and i played this song over and over and over. Thank you alanis
❤
When people say Jagged Little Pill was big, it literally cannot be overstated how hard this album hit the stage.
This is from one of the biggest selling albums of the 90’s; not just “…by a female.”
The whole album slaps.
All these decades later I still know every note, every word of this song- it’s still the only song I’ve ever heard by a female artist (I’m almost 50😳)that expresses THIS level of anger.

Taylor Swift had a few songs in the 2000s, but I think those fall under Bubblegum Pop.
As far as Angry Rock, one of the only current songs I can think of that expresses anger like this is "Animosity" by The Warning.
That's because there's zero talent around these days
@@bloodybutunbowed291 XXI century blood, Exterminated, Queen of the murder scene, Shattered heart a of them by The Warning as well! 👍
I had my daughter listening to this when she was closer to college age, to my surprise I was walking into her crew meet and heard it blasting from the warm up room..she had it on the warm up playlist and had her whole crew team into it-I felt a little proud moment knowing I had a little bit part in introducing about 20 college girls to some real music!
You need to hear Marianne Faithfull's Why D' Ya Do It from her album Broken English. From 1979, just as raw and powerful.
This album is incredible. Forget the commercial success, almost every song is brilliant, lyrically, emotionally, sonically, instrumentation, contextually etc. She was, and still is, a truly special artist and this album was, to simply describe, was “the perfect storm”
She performed this at the Grammys with a candlelit stage, wearing a long, elegant dress, much more quiet and way more intense and scary.
This spoke to so many women of all ages, so relatable, of being unexpectedly kicked in your gut by someone you cared deeply about. The grief, deep heartbreak replaced by the raw angry wrath of a banshee who gave everything and was thrown aside without a care, pushed to the edge of insanity but empowering as a new strength was found to walk away with an "you're loss, I'm worth more..." ...btw we ALL knew who it was about, definitely his loss.
This album was the first CD I ever got.
I used to blast this in my car.
this song was a gamechanger. loved it then, love it now.
There is a hidden track on this album. You had to wait a few minutes and it’s one of the most ethereal songs. It’s called Your House. You so t regret it.
Brutal album, but utterly amazing.
Angry sarcasm is so my groove, this is the best bitter bad break-up song Ever!
When this song released, every man in the entire world collectively FLINCHED. We felt it. LOL
MASTERPIECE
Alanis...Goddess, weirdo...love her. She's amazing live...
In this video, the beautiful and extraordinary Taylor Hawkins on drums....damn it, we miss you 💔
The in-your-face lyrics tend to overshadow the incredible performance from the musicians. Flea sounds like someone said - you figure this out. Nasty bass line - nasty
My first concert was her Jagged little pill tour!! Still love her!!
It’s really cool to see you hear these songs for the first time. I guess we just took her for granted. Rock on
This whole album is fire! But my favorite song is from the soundtrack for City of Angels called Uninvited.
That’s the one!! 🔥🔥🔥
This!!! Uninvited is a masterpiece
The ULTIMATE "You broke my heart, and I'm not happy about it" song!!
That album is stellar. Absolutely fantastic!
friendly reminder, I pan the camera to help prevent the video from getting it blocked. I was able to get away with not doing it as much this time, but I still had to. Thanks for understanding. Enjoyed this so much.
I actually like the camera pan technique. It's an interesting method of avoiding getting flagged if it works.
This album skyrocketed here to the top and the fame ended up overwhelming her that she took time off to go to India to balance out. Uninvited is one of my favs by her. Cheers 🇨🇦
More more please..
When i scratch my nails down someones back, I hope you feel it!
Love it! Never heard before.
Alanis is a badass! Amazing songwriter and such a distinct voice! Would love for you to react to more of her!
This wasnt just an artist. She was fierce and killed it
Taylor Hawkins on drums too...such a phenomenal line up of folks performing on this one.
Look into the Lilith Fair if you want to see what some amazing woman musicians were doing in that alt/post grunge time 🖤
He's on the video, but he isn't in the recording, he only joined her band after the album had been already recorded. He played it in the live versions of the tour (and you can hear the difference, it get's a lot more shuffle).
this was the anthem my mom and I sang at the top of our lungs for years after my father left..... It's an amazing song of female power and pain!
This entire album basically taught a young female population that it was okay to be angry and fight back. I was a freshman in college in 1995 and this album, and especially this song, was constantly reverberating through the dorms. Whether it was just introducing me to a new genre of music, or whether it opened the door to other strong female artists at the time, I'm not sure, but the five years that followed were full of songs of female empowerment. Meredith Brooks' Bitch, and Shawn Colvin's Sonny Came Home, are great examples of this. It's something I was just talking to my 16-year-old daughter about the other day. Thanks for taking a look and pulling me back to that for a while this morning. 💛
Alanis goes for the throat!!
This song is so good. You really feel this one. Every time she says “But you’re still alive!” Like it’s an accusation you want to ask whoever that is why he isn’t freaking dead yet.

Love facts like this.
Her and Dave refuted this recently but I do know it's a popular theory.
This is true, when I first heard this I said someone hurt her BAD!
Taylor Hawkins is in the video and played on her tour, but it's not him on the record.
She starts more chill with her vocals and then it builds this intensity.
When this song came out in the summer of 1995, I had literally never heard of a song like this before. A true classic and trail blazing tune !
Awesome singer and I'm proud she's a Canadian
This song kicks ass. Alanis is a heroine.
Alanis raw talent, raw words, everyone knows what she is singing about. when my grandkids are teenagers and old enough to understand the meaning of this song hope they enjoy it as much as i did, timeless I'm 60 and i can only hope they pass it along for the next generation to enjoy and pass it to their children.so thank you Salvog for keeping it alive .it needs to be heard.
Love this!! The woman is angry.
Truly one of my favorite albums of the 90s Jagged Little pill. All killer no filler love you
She murdered this song. Love it.
You can listen to this for hours. The whole Jagged Little Pill album was/is genius.
Mad to think that if not for Madonna, this album might never have gotten out there. They recorded the album first then shopped it around looking for a record deal. Every major label turned it down. It was Madonna's small record label Maverick that signed Alanis Morissette and released the album. It's the biggest selling debut album worldwide of all time, at 33 million copies!
Simply put, there are two parts to the 90s: Before and after Alanis! Nuff said!
Every girl/woman has sang this about some guy. Powerful.
I just saw her sing that at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in LA...Picture 10,000 women on their feet screaming out the lyrics of this song. Powerful.
My daughter bought us tickets to see garbage and alanis for my birthday 2 yrs ago. Alanis is incredible live! Garbage is excellent also !
Oh man, you definitely inspired me to break out Jagged Little Pill. I played the crap out of that album back in the day, and sang with it at the top of my lungs.

This should not have been released as a single. This should have been an aria in an opera. It is a true piece of musical theater.
Love my Canadian artists!
Jagged Little Pill is a great album. You really should give it a listen.
This song was groundbreaking when it came out. Unquestionably. Lyrically, vocally, everything. Groundbreaking. I love some of her acoustic performances of it because you hear the hurt, not the anger.
The world tour for the 'Jagged Little Pill' album had Taylor Hawkins on drums, prior to his joining FooFighters.
Alanis, a Canadian 🇨🇦favourite, has quite the unique, but wonderful song library. One of my favourites is Uninvited.
She won a Grammy for her album Jagged Little Pill!
You should react to all her songs from this album. One of the best albums ever made by anyone. Also her performance of the song uninvited at an awards show is amazing as well
It is fascinating to hear you say that you never heard this when it seems like just yesterday that it came out.
You MUST do a deep dive on the entire Jagged Little Pill album.
Basically it is a song dedicated to an ex-love after a breakup where, although she wishes him well, she has a few questions and feels perhaps some of their issues were unresolved, and she may not be experiencing a complete sense of closure.
Yeah because she was strung along by someone who led her to believe he was being honest and sincere... most likely due his own baggage. He used her body and wasted her time. Should have made it clear... "I'm not looking for anything serious atm". So easy to say... but some people can't seem to utter the words... but they can rattle off every other lie in the book 🤣🤣!
@@Not-Ap It is about Dave Coulier from the sitcom "Full House".
The Jagged Little Pill album is a masterpiece. Alanis' lyrics are some of the best in the business. One of the few artists who can write whole songs were the lines/lyrics don't rhyme so it comes across more like the story she is trying to tell. Alanis is the GOAT. Her live performances are superb too.
I saw her in 96 in NYC... she absolutely blew the doors off the place...one of the best concerts I ever saw...
I was 12yrs old and absolutely OBSESSED with this song (and the entire CD) when it came out. Amazing!!
I wore the hell out of my first Jagged Little Pill CD when this song came out back in the day.
A Canadian treasure! Alanis has integrity, an amazing voice and so much to say. Great Reaction
Alanis is a musical goddess who doesn’t get the attention or credit she deserves these days. Definitely check out more of her work and if you like it, you should check out Fiona Apple. Musics geniuses.
This is a masterpiece, she is an amazing song writing and an absolutely perfect singer. Thanks for show this to new generation.
There was a bonus track on this album called Would you forgive me love, and every time it played my infant daughter would cry and cry, almost like it was painful to her.
I discovered Alanis Morissette and Pearl Jam at the same time in the 1990's and made compilation cassettes. They are still favorites on playlists now!
I’ve seen her 5 times in concert over several decades and every time she sings this, she has the same amount of emotion as her video. One time, flames were coming up from the stage all around her. It was awesome!
I saw her in the summer of either 95 or 6 when this album came out. She was the closing act of an all day outdoor venue. She even had a mosh pit!🤘🔥
You Shoulda Know that Alanis was out there.
One benefit of the record companies and radio stations is that they promoted artists.
The song is about her bitter breakup from "Full House" actor Dave Coulier.
One of the best breakup song ever written
For a lot of women this became an iconic anthem. Still great.
Very sad... Gen X men could be some serious douche bags at times. They say boomers are oversexed and players etc.. but in my experience Gen X men were far worse.
@@Not-Ap I don't judge people or men by the generation they are from. Every generation has its own range of good and bad people. For me this song doesn't feel "very sad". It became an anthem for women because it acknowledged that women were empowered to call out the bad behavior of men.
@@jainthorne4136 That's a very enlightened way to look at it and I never thought to look at the song that way myself which is also far healthier.
Such a fan! This album came out when I was graduating college in New York City. My five year relationship had just ended and three months later he was married to someone else! I remember blasting this song on repeat screaming along. It became my anthem as she put into words everything that was going through my head. Alanis rocks. The whole album jagged Little pill is beautiful and they eventually made a Broadway play called jagged Little pill using all the music from this album! Welcome to Alanis. Can’t wait to see more. Love your reactions. ❤️🫶🏻✌️
Personnel on this track include Flea on bass (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Dave Navarro on guitar (Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers). Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) RIP was featured as the drummer in the video and was in the band at the time, however was not on the recording. Great artist, great song, great album. Check out one of her live performances, her voice is incredible. I would suggest the live version of Uninvited.
Also on that video was Chris Chaney on Bass who went on to join Janes Addiction , Also Chris and Taylor formed a side band till Taylor’s passing
live version of 'Uninvited', absolutely!!
Duuude I forgot Taylor was in this track!
I knew this song would make you blush! LOL
Such a timeless classic! The whole album is straight fire!
She did an acoustic version of this on MTV (I think) that was amazingly powerful.
Have you seen Pink doing this live? (With Alanis joining her)
2 amazing women... it's awesome!
The song "All I Really Want" is my favorite on this album. All the songs are amazing on it. This song launched a whole bunch of awesome music by women.
This album blew up LA Radio - she is a huge talent and the whole album was a hit. MORE FROM HER
Very nice reaction. Alanis is one of best female singers/writers. If you want you can check "Ironic" or "Hand in my pocket", thx.
Oh yes, this whole album was a staple of mine in college (1996-1999), especially this song after a particularly nasty breakup. It was on top volume in my car with the windows down (except I would turn the volume off for the 'f' word, lol). I think my favorite song on that album is "Forgiven". And yes, I still have this album on my playlist and listen to it often.
Also, interesting fact, Alanis was on the Nickelodeon TV show "You Can't Do That On Television". I used to watch that in the 80's and remember her being on it.
Lol, exact years I was in college!
Loved You Can’t Do That On Television. Had a big crush on Christine.
one of the best diss songs ever made! ♥
This got heavy rotation on MTV - back when MTV played videos. So this was huge. Radio stations bleeped the bad words. I bought Jaged Little Pill. Everyone I knew had the album. Again, this was huge. So honest and raw. I found it refreshing.
Going to see Alanis tonight in Atlanta. Dragging my 79-year-old widowed dad with me🤣❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Her drummer in this video is Taylor Hawkins. He's the drummer from the Foo Fighters who passed a few months ago. He left Morissette band to join the Foo Fighters.
Absolute ferocious bitterness - an astonishing piece of work. Jagged Little Pill was an incredible album, this track was the lead exposure and it's still ferocious to this day.
Love Alanis - so many unique tunes for you to dig into.
Actor Dave Coulier ('Joey' on Full House) had a relationship with Morissette in 1997. Discussing the first time he heard ‘You Oughta Know’, Coulier said: “I’m driving in Detroit and I’ve got my radio on, and I hear the hook for ‘You Oughta Know’ come on the radio. I’m like, ‘Wow this is a really cool hook.’ And then I start hearing the voice and I’m like, ‘Wow, this girl can sing…’ And then I was listening to the lyrics, going, ‘Oh no. Oh, I can’t be this guy!’”
That’s Taylor Hawkins On Drums In The Video . He Was Playing In Her Band At The Time Before He Joined The Foo Fighters RIP Taylor Hawkins !!!!!
The soundtrack to 33 million people's lives in 1996... My favourite solo female singer.... the band were tight and yes Taylor Hawkins on drums 🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love this song!! She said it was so emotional singing it in concert on tour- and I think about the guy in the song (and those of us that heard it when it came out knew exactly who it was about as did he - it really wasnt a secret) poor schmuck heard it everywhere he went for months! That's right cheater, think about what you did! And know everyone else is too every time this song is played! Genius
Great album. Not one throw away song. Hit after hit. Taylor Hawkins on drums for this one. Phenomenal.
Great reaction! Alanis was my favorite female artist at that time. Her album Jagged Little Pill is amazing. My favorite song of that album is Hand in my Pocket.
I was 12 or 13 and grew up during the best time ever. My older sister had this album, and I was OBSESSED. 90’s alternative is my absolute favorite, and Alanis is at the top of the list. I LOVE her honesty, and anger, and the vibe she brings to all of her music. She doesn’t hold back with her thoughts, words, or feelings, and that was just so refreshing.
The song is about Dave Coulier.
She has a lot of great songs. My favorite is "Uninvited," which isn't from this album but from a movie soundtrack. But JLP has a lot of great songs on it. My fave from it would have to be, "All I really Want." It's her other really "hard" rocking song from this album. There are few other really good ones, "Hand In My Pocket" and "You Learn" are more upbeat songs. Also, it was one of the first CD's to have a "hidden" track. Which was a trend in the 90's. Certain bands would record additional music or messages on the last track of a CD, but it wouldn't play until after a few minutes. Most people, when they hear the last song on an album end and then silence after that would think the album's is over and take the CD out and play something else. In her case, the "hidden" track was number 13, even though there were only 12 listed on the back cover. It's an alternate version of "You Oughta Know" and after about a minute of silence, she sings an absolutely haunting and heartbreaking acoustic song. Check it: ua-cam.com/video/NltkkFv4F9E/v-deo.html
The whole album is worth a listen.
This whole album is so good. Not a bad song on the whole thing. Great reaction!! 🙂
