Alanis Morrissette 'Ironic' updated for 2015

Thought this was quite good.

Alanis Morrissette has appeared on the James Cordon show, doing a duet with him of an updated version of Ironic for modern times

Naturally, there's a lot of poking fun at technology.

Twenty years later, Alanis Morissette is ready to give her big hit, "Ironic," a modern update.

The 41-year-old songstress appeared on The Late Late Show With James Corden Monday where she was invited to perform her famous song, but she and the late-night host changed the lyrics a bit to reflect society's more tech-savvy age.

"An old friend sends you a Facebook request / And you only find out they're racist after you accept," Morissette began the song.

From there on out it became a back-and-forth between the two performers.

"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 / Isn't it ironic? / Don't you think," James Corden continued.

"It's like swiping left on your future soul mate / It's like a Snapchat that you wished you had saved / It's a traffic jam when you tried to use Waze," they both sang together during the chorus.

Pretty sure there's a few in there many of us will relate to. Very well done, I thought.

As in the original, they're not really ironic though.

That's the irony.

She should have looked ironic up in the dictionary before recording that song. I suppose none of the producers or any one in her record label did either, so the atrocity was a team effort.

True, which is probably why she included

"It's singing ironic when there are no ironies,"

The Backwards Man

Isn't it moronic?

Did he sing the line "it's like the fat kid at school/being seen, for some bizarre reason, as cool".

I'm still shocked that James Corden is as successful as he is in America.

They love a British accent in the US.

Comes from a long line of Brits that are more popular in the US than the UK, such as Piers Morgan, Thatcher, and Benny Hill.

He can't act or sing,he's a crap interviewer and tries his best to act humble anytime I've seen him on TV.
What exactly is his talent?
