Guys it's so much worse than Laroquette: Dave Coulier!

yes, laroquette is a much more respectable actor to suck off in public, can't deny that.

never loved "Glycerine" but I remember fondly Michael Stipe on MTV introducing the song by explaining the title compounds uses for buggery.
voted Alanis.

I forgot the name of that really bizarre follow-up to Donnie Darko that had like 40 famous people in it, but at one point someone says a phone number and I was bored enough to try calling it, and turns out it was John Laroquette's voicemail.
Yeah anyway..

I disliked that Alanis song then and more so now. It's so horribly over the top bad.

i don't even think who it was about was revealed until a few years back, definitely not while the song was big

I dont think I ever knew Flea was in that, whoops!
― thillrer (loves laboured breathing), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
It wasn't too long afterwards.. I think it was one of those late-90's internet rumors, similar to "marilyn manson was on the wonder years" or "billy corgan was on small wonder."

Except that it's actually confirmed that Uncle Joey and Alanis dated. I just don't think it's confirmed whether "You Oughta' Know" is about him specifically.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:26 (eleven years ago) link
I heard that from some pretty major media outlets. I imagine there could be some libel charges flying around if it wasn't true...
― thillrer (loves laboured breathing), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:43 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know if Alanis ever commented on it, but Dave sure has.
― Quiet Desperation, LLC (Deric W. Haircare), Wednesday, 23 May 2012 23:44 (eleven years ago) link
Oh weird, I knew it was Dave Coulier but somehow, that was always Uncle Jesse in my head. I only realized now that it was Uncle Joey.

"Wonderwall" it is
lots of honorable mentions though. Bush, "Comedown" and Green Day, "When I Come Around" are pretty good

The thing that disturbed me about the Coulier story is that Alanis was still very young when You Oughtta Know came out so she must have been a teenager when she was dating him.

Yeah, like even if she dated him in the early 90s, like it says on wikipedia, she would have been like 16 or 17. The world is gross and sucks.

I am checking out a bunch of these songs I don't recognize by name. So far I don't remember having heard any of them; but that definitely doesn't mean I didn't hear them, since they are precisely the sort of songs I would not have remembered.

it's so weird, given how alanis turned out, how fucking brilliant "you oughta know"s lyrics are, how viciously and concisely she tells her story
lol some of the worst lyrics ever written matched only by how wretched the delivery is. "in...a thyatrrr" is like a master class in how to be a terrible singer
― cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:28 (eleven years ago) link
that said, from this horrible list I actually take "hand in my pocket," a pleasant enough tune despite yet more horrible delivery in the verses. I stab myself in the stomach with a kitchen knife every time I hear her say "I...certainly do" or even think it. fuckin ouch
― cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:29 (eleven years ago) link
You're wrong: "All I Really Want" is worse. Much worse. She sounds like a chimp chewing on your earlobe.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:35 (eleven years ago) link
I heard "Good" on the radio today and while I never liked it as much as "In The Blood" or "Desperately Wanting" it has kind of grown on me over the years.

I confess before Almighty God and before you my brothers and sisters that I don't really think "Glycerine" is all that bad

That's a fast poll. Agree with everyone who sees decline from the '94 list. I'm bleah or worse on almost everything here except (blushing) Better Than Ezra's goofy song (which I used to like and had to check to discover it still sounds pretty good) and "Wonderwall," which I've heard too often. So another one for "Good"!
― clemenza, Thursday, 24 May 2012 01:58 (eleven years ago) link
the harmonica 'solos' on "hand in my pocket" and "head over heels" are the biggest pile of crap ever. she actually plays these annoying circular motifs around the same two notes in every fucking tune of her. shit gets on my nerves

even at age 12 I realized that Alanis was total shite...though to be fair that was after liking the album (one of probably ~15-20 I owned) for a couple months. I remember hearing her perform on Loveline around the time the CD came out and she did a pretty cracking rendition of "YOK".

Am I the only one who thought Alanis Morrissette's shtick was kind of a glossy ripoff of Ani DiFranco's style (similar to the Goo Goo Dolls' cut-rate 'Mats vibe)? There were a handful of mainstream artists around this time who I felt were probably signed on the basis of their ability to ape some unsignable quantity or another.
