Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Lets break it down:
"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
A traffic jam when you're already late
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife"
None of these things are actually ironic.
"
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break"
These qualify as ironic.
...it's possible the songs title is intentionally ironic, as despite the song being titled ironic, there isn't much reference to irony in it.
And isn't that ironic...dont'cha think? |

"Just heard Alanis Morrisette's Ironic, and completely forgot how much that song winds me up.....
No Alanis, nothing you have said is ironic"
I can't stand that song. She's the most over-rated singer next to Debbie (give me strength) Gibson.

Halle-bloody-lujah, can't tell you how much it winds me up when people misuse irony, see it a lot in the forum. So, maybe from this day forth it will stop, alas probably not though.
Now wouldn't that be ironic  |
