Alanis Morissette’s hit “Ironic” made the top five in four countries when it first came out in 1995, not to mention earned two Grammys nominations. Its video (remember Alanis driving around in the snow?) even received MTV video music nominations. More than that, “Ironic” has stood the test of time with lyrics that are all too well known, from Mr. Play It Safe dying in a plane crash to “ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife”.

More than twenty years later, “Ironic” gets an update for the 21st century:

An old friend sends you a Facebook request
You only find out they’re racist after you accept
There’s free office cake on the first day of your diet
It’s like they announce a new iPhone the day after you buy it
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate
It’s a Snapchat that you wish you had saved
It’s a funny tweet that nobody faves
And who would’ve thought it figures

It’s a traffic jam when you try to use Waze
A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape
It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
It’s singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It’s like you’re first class on a Southwest plane
Then you realize that every seat is the same
It’s like Amazon but your package never came
And who would’ve thought it figures

It’s like Netflix but you own DVDs
It’s a free ride but your Uber’s down the street
It’s singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies
And who would’ve thought it figures
