“Every time I scratch my nails down someone else’s back I hope you feel it” One of the greatest lyrics ever in music

She changed the trend in music that year-dethroned Mariah Carey and won the grammy

This album blew my mind back in the day. A woman, singing like THAT? Cursing, the subject matter, the rawness; there'd never been anything on mainstream radio like that before. It was eye-opening and life changing. I started listening to a wider variety of music, searching out things that didn’t get radio play, and the stuff on the radio grew in variety. Great moment in music history.

"Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned." This song is the embodiment of that!

Her album Jagged little pill was full of hits. Great album

As a man, I still listen to this song and say, "You tell him girl" *snaps*

I was 13 years old when this song and album came out, I’d never heard a woman angry like that before, it changed my life!

This is the best angry woman song ever! Jagged Little Pill one of the top rock albums ever...belongs in every music collection.

She's not bashing men. She's bashing her ex.

Dang I forgot how badass Alanis is😃😃

When you realize she's singing about Uncle Joey from Full House.

I give her such amazing credit for revealing her raw emotions and feelings; she bared her complete and utter soul and she left nothing on the table. This is the epitome of self expression, describing absolutely the most vulnerable moment in her life. This is the ultimate mic drop in musical history. That was so courageous. Bravo... my hat’s off to her..

It is a great song. Flea on Bass and Dave Narrvaro on guitar from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers on this song. The whole album was done in one take!

I don't care what anybody says. But, Alanis was the $hit back in the days! LOL Edgy, raw, emotions, great singer. She can mix pop, rock, r&B, a lil hip hop sound to it. She's good. Good videos from her back in the '90s. Pretty lady, too.

Jagged Little Pill was is a masterpiece of anger, emotion, and female oppression. She broke down the mainstream door for women to be able to be angry and be honest and be on the charts just like the men. Its raw and real, we deserve to scream too. There wouldn't be bands like Kittie and Butcher Babies screaming and metal af without Alanis.

Guitar - Dave Navarro (Janes addiction), Bass - Flea (red hot chili peppers), Drums - Taylor Hawkins (foo fighters)…. Heavy line up on this track 🔥

Little fun fact.. The band performing the music here is some of the best musicians in music. Matt Laug who played with Alice Cooper and Slashs Snakepit is on drums Dave Navarro who played with Janes Addiction and RHCP, played guitar Flea from RHCP on bass

Alanis Morissette is brilliant. Never delved this deeply into the lyrics until now.

This was THE song of 1995.

"Jagged Little Pill" was a phenomenal album.

"disturbed rawness" - you nailed it chief.

I'm a rock guy, and Alanis is dope. She literally was one the first women in the 90s who changed the course for women, not just in music either. Keep in mind the sound/lyrics were not expected or accept ( at the time it dropped) from women in the early 90s.

"Where is she now?" "Oh, idk, maybe in jail" 🤣😂 She's living a quiet and peaceful life with her husband some rapper I've never heard of Souleye, they have 3 kids. He doesn't give her reasons to write songs like this anymore 😉🥰🤩

The drummer is Taylor Hawkins who went on tour with her and jumped to Foo Fighters he is excellent

Alanis is a great songwriter. God bless her

Fiona Apple "Criminal" - would be a great reaction/review!

Now the opposite to that song that is also by Alanis Morissette is "Head Over Feet"

Every woman has played this one a time or two in her life!!!

A true artist. She had a smash hit with this album but didn't get comfortable for a second, changed her sound up and kept rolling on her path. She never found the same mainstream success again, but she has consistantly put out great albums.

great video, though i wouldn't say she's bashing all men, she's letting out her anger for one man who hurt her. I think this song could be an anthem for any person who's been hurt in a relationship, regardless of gender.

The insanity of this is a huuuge section of this is a single performance without edits. Soooo raw

That bassline: Flea ripps this song apart!! What a hero❤

Alanis is my girl. The 'scratch my nails down someone else's back' is about her having an orgasm with someone else - she hopes he feels bad about what he is missing out on. I used to sing the shit out of that song once upon a time. The Jagged Little Pill album is in my top 10 favs of all time. Nice stroll down memory lane - thank you again Gents.

Step 1. Emotional and deep theme Step 2. Well-written lyrics Step 3. Marketable song with good production Voila!

Jagged Little Pill was one of those albums EVERYONE had, no matter your “normal” genre. It’s that good.

We need to talk about Flea's bassline front and center.

Back with another curveball. Give a fuck what anyone says Alanis Morissette is the shit! 🤘🏻

At the time before the song i think. She was with uncle joey of full house. It was a shock when people found out she was talking about him

This is one of my favorite songs ever, so I'm just going to say thank you for making me laugh long and hard😉

I saw her live. She sounded exactly the same live a few years ago. She does the same odd body movements too. I think she still makes music and tours sometimes. She also made an appearance in the movie Dogma. You should do more early 90s alt. I think you'd like most of it.

This song was about Uncle Joey from Full House.... Yes... that one.

The bass is Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers! And Dave Navarro is on guitar.

I’ve not heard a more emotionally powerful vocal performance before or since, she’s laying her soul out, as well as her claws. As they say it’s also well produced. Check out her Saturday night live performance and it’s raw, visceral and powerful performance.

6:51 had me rolling! 🤣 I was a young adult back in the 90’s when this song came out. And now that I think about it, men really *did* seem to want to run and hide when this one came on the radio.

Another good classic from her is "Uninvited" You can hear the anger in that one, while she re,ains calm through the whole thing. (Also being in a minor key makes it feel dark).

😱 I had to click on this!!! Alanís the queen 👸🏻 ever since I was a young, angry teenager 😂 that whole album was amazing.

The soundtrack of my freshman year was this album. ❤️

I named my daughter after Alanis , I love this album !

Go to the very last song on her album jagged little pill and let it play past the end and theres a hidden track. Best song on the album. total acapella. Haunting.

Flea from red hot chili peppers on bass makes this song move

Y’all are so awesome!! You can totally tell y’all are real genuine guys that have a want to step outside the box and learn and be open to all different types of music !! Keeps me coming back and curious on yalls thoughts. Much love from Arkansas❤️

I remember my mom singing her heart out to this album in the 90's and to this day, I blast it

You guys are awesome! She was 🔥 back in the day!

Jagged little Pill argubly the best album of the 90's definitely top ten like every song was a hit...

“Ironic” is another good song of hers with lyrics that are fun to sing.

I saw Alanis in concert at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg a few years ago. She still sounds absolutely AMAZING!!!! It was an acoustic concert and she spoke with the audience in between songs. She sounded very happy with the place she was at in her life. Jagged Little Pill - the song and the album - were about the demise of the relationship she had just been in with an older, famous man (aka Dave Coulier aka Uncle Joey on Full House - she was around 18 and he was around 33 when they started dating). Alanis is now 45, happily married, and pregnant with her 3rd child - www.self.com/story/alanis-morissette/amp

I love this song. Alanis acts crazy, and it's fucking hilarious. She is one woman with a lot of angst.

I saw her in the 90s,she rocked it out.🤘

HAND IN MY POCKET, IRONIC by Alanis Morissette

Just found your channel. Unreal. I've been getting chills re-discovering some old favorites (Danzig, Slayer, Tool, Sabbath, RATM, Van Hallen and on and on..) as you guys discover this gold mine of music.

1:38 ALANIS: I'm happy for you... THEM: ...Which means she's not. Woof, ain't that the truth.

Great song. Remember when this came out. Everybody thought this was great back in the day.

Alanis Morissette is so awesome! In addition to being a major and important pioneer in music, Jagged Little Pill alone cemented her status as one of the greatest from the 90s(dare to say all time) and changed the course for future female musicians.

I didn't even know I remembered the words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm about to play her and Tori Amos tonight 🤣🤣🤣

Here are the musicians on this track. It's no wonder that it is a standout on this very popular album. It's a weird nexus of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Alanis Morissette - vocals Glen Ballard - programming Dave Navarro - guitar Flea - bass Benmont Tench - organ Matt Laug - drums

ahahaha u guys got me laughing at shit i never even knew was funny with this song. I mean i heard this song many times, but the way you guys are breaking it down is pure comedy in it's rawest form. Very very nice, you guys are naturals.

She just announced a tour for the 25th anniversary of the release of Jagged Little Pill!

Lolol yall crack me up!!! This one was the best of review/reaction!

I have never, ever listened to this song like this. The CD is in my collection since 1996 and this is the first time I really "listened" to the lyrics. Thank you guys!!

I could not believe you guys went here haha great job with it too! I love that you guys listen to lyrics, I am only 31 but feel like I am damn near 100 when kids talk about how good the music is nowadays... and I don't even hear like full thoughts. It was cool back in the day, when you listened to rappers and just music in general, the idea was to paint a picture. Now it is just beats with people making sounds for lyrics lol thank you for bringing a different approach to the music thing! Love your channel gentlemen!

Best line of the song.. "You said you'd hold me until you died ...UNTIL YOU DIED. WELL YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!!!

This was allegedly written about Dave Coulier/ uncle Joey from Full House

I love her music! Ironic is my favorite song by her❤️. Nice review

Didn't expect Alanis Morissette defiantly came outta left field lol. But you can hear the conviction in her lyrics, like goddamn the the things she was saying had me thinking the person this song was directed towards better dip as far as he can to outer space like that Key & Peele skit "And I said.... Biiiiitchhh" great reaction/review Lost In Vegas now I expect the unexpected.

This is one of my favorite female angsty songs and I still listen to it. Its great. For more angst that sounds good - Hole - Violet

Ok, so a little of the background that I have compiled through the years: As stated before, this was an ode to her ex boyfriend. Allegedly, this ex was Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey from Full House). Their breakup in the early 90s was apparently not great and he seems to have left her for an older woman. He is 15 years older than her and she was a teenager when they started their relationship and so it was her first major heartbreak... Hence the song... But I digress; when she wrote the major songs on this album and brought them to her label, the album somehow ended up in front of Madonna, head and founder of Maverick Records. From what I understand, Madonna thought You Oughta Know had major potential but the music was very underwhelming so she decided to reproduce it. She reached out to a couple up and coming musicians (who were, by the way, on the DL visionaries) but hadn't made it truly huge yet. So, instead of the plodding bassline that was originally written, Flea brought a spontaneity and an creativity that makes the song seem more stream of consciousness. And instead of the pedantic and boring guitar licks, Dave Navarro brought a wall of sound, stadium rock thickness to the sound and rounded out Morissette's sound. So, with 2 of the Red Hot Chili Peppers backing her up, her video hit MTV and took the world by storm.

Holy shit man this is too damn good. Your reaction to this is too perfect. I found this channel way too late!

Beautiful description of how the music represents the emotion when she snaps, then the break is her getting her composure back. Awesome. Now check out "Last to Speak" by Allen Stone

"I want you to know, that I'm happy for you." "...which means she's not." ( Laughter) That's my favorite part! Lmao!

We always sang it, It's not fair to remind me of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me..." 🤪🐻

I'm a metalhead but she is a great songwriter

This song was is about Dave Coulier from Full House (uncle joey).

"u in the bushes an shit?!" haha. yes, that is what i always envisioned. That is what makes this the perfect song when you are off the wall about a relationship.

You two have the best reaction to this song on all of You Tube.

The thing is, whether or not it's a woman singing it for other women, it applies to every gender. Oh that verse that's filled with petty passive aggression: Everyone is that person. There are so many blokes who have been there and done that, that it doesn't bear thinking about. As men we're supposed to be all fucking mechanical logic machines: bollocks. Whether it shows or not, some of the thoughts that have gone through this woman's head, have gone through every bloke's head too.

She was very young when she wrote this.

It’s 2024 and she’s on tour now. Bet my 47 year old ass will be there when she comes to Texas. This dropped when I was 18, and I was never the same!!! As a young adult then, hearing this was such an eye opener. I hadn’t heard a woman express herself passionately before. It was incredible. Flea and Dave Navarro were in this track. 🔥

She was also 20 YEARS OLD when she recorded this. She experienced this in her teens, so this is just raw emotion at its fiery peak.

This is another one that reminds me of Fiona Apple. I'm not sure I've ever heard more emotion in a song than when she hits me with her lyrics. Shadowboxer from her comes to mind.

I instantly fell in love with this song when it first came out. Way back in jr high. But then fast forward junior yr of hs when i had my first real heartbreak and boy oh boy did I listen to this religiously along with Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive (yea i kniw typical right 😅), Hole's Doll Parts & Violet and of course a whole lot of Mary J Blige

Thank you. You just reminded me that I love that album ... need to dig out out

Just watched literally ten of these in a row. Very intelligent likable fellas. Will def recommend these dudes to anyone

I'm a straight dude.. And she still sings of my experience. I love Alanis' song. This song helped me deal with 'basic training' in 1995. Free thinker here, I thought I was alone. p.s. Left Eye could my house and Jordan's... umm...lol?

try cranberries: zombie

I think I know every word to every lyric on this album. I love it. It’s so raw and angry.

Both you men are funny and handsome !

"Thank You" by Alanis is a beautiful, brilliant song.

This song used to scare me!!! But I still sung to it when I was younger.

Thanks for being honest and not pretending to have not heard it before especially because it was all over the radio

Love it! FREE THINKERS! Blessings..
