Alanis Morrissette - My Humps

hekawi · April 3rd, 2007, 01:25 PM

now that's a cover version! she really "made it her own".

streetglide06 · April 3rd, 2007, 02:23 PM

Pretty creative I think. I dont know wether to laugh or cry.

Mark Davis · April 3rd, 2007, 02:50 PM

THat was great she was just doing a satire on most rap videos. Showing how dumb they are.

Rocker AK · April 3rd, 2007, 03:08 PM

It's all about the ghetto booty, money falling from the sky and cruising around in mexican pimped Chevy Impala's.

That stuff is so inane it makes my head hurt!

"I like
big butts and I cannot lie...." Truly a classic!

markothefish · April 3rd, 2007, 03:10 PM

That might be the first thing she's done that I actually like . Funny stuff

beachkos · April 3rd, 2007, 04:08 PM

I always felt she was "all hat - no cattle" - this confirms it !

eryque · April 3rd, 2007, 04:20 PM

That is funny.

I always thought she was cute in a funny looking sort of way. Or funny looking in a cute sort of way.

TelZilla · April 3rd, 2007, 04:29 PM

This is an impersonator right? That girl looks a lot younger.

TeleConvert · April 3rd, 2007, 04:35 PM

I love it. I can't wait for her duet with fergie! or better yet, a duet with Beyonce!!!

Tnek23 · April 3rd, 2007, 06:16 PM

I heard this being discussed on the radio this morning; thanks ibobunot, for reminding me to watch it.
Alanis always seems like she has a heavy dose of "hurt" and edgyness. Kudos to her creativity, though.

NEPATelecaster · April 3rd, 2007, 06:44 PM

That Was Brilliant!

TeleTurkey · April 3rd, 2007, 11:24 PM

Well, I get it...but man....listening to it is kind of like fingers on a chalkboard.

Heather Anne Peel · April 4th, 2007, 12:16 AM

"Jagged Little Pill" was one of my fave '90's albums. I dig Alanis, she's an original.

DougieLove · April 4th, 2007, 12:19 AM

That isn't really her...is it? She looks similar, but not quite right.

neocaster · April 4th, 2007, 12:35 AM

That's her. It's the second best hip-hop cover I've heard in a long time. Right behind Nina Gordon (late of Veruca Salt) covering "Straight Outta Compton."

lostpick · April 4th, 2007, 12:46 AM

that there is not one example
of irony in that song : Ironic

so, so true... 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is not ironic, it's just unfortunate... no smoking sign on your cigarette break? not ironic, just crappy luck

captain gorgeous · April 4th, 2007, 06:16 AM

oh dear oh dear

wasn't this done to death about 12 years ago?

the fact that it's not ironic IS in fact ironic in itself

therfore the song's own shaky grasp of the concept of irony is it's own saviour.

irony is restored

and we can all sleep safely in our beds

sjfoote · April 4th, 2007, 09:08 AM

she is one of a kind. I hope she continues to write and record as she grows older - looking forward to her views as she ages and matures.

Sarge · April 4th, 2007, 09:43 AM

About 45 seconds of the video "My Humps" was all I could handle. Now the Muppets "Brick House " was much better! She does have the "fingernails on the chalk board" sound. Never cared for her or her "music"

Disastercaster · April 4th, 2007, 09:55 AM

That's hilarious. The lyrics don't seem as completely inane in the original version as you can't really hear all of them. Now it's is exposed, the Black Eyed Peas are total cretins.

Find yourself a copy of String Cheese Incident covering "Gin and Juice," bluegrass style. Best. (Rap) Cover. Ever.

casterway · April 4th, 2007, 11:37 AM

It's ironic that someone that writes a song called 'Isn't it ironic?' doesn't know the meaning of irony...Rain on your wedding day? Traffic jam when you're already late? That's unfortunate, not ironic.

Most of you won't know that 'jagged little pill' is about her 5th album. Before that, we knew for years as a teeny-bopper singer called just "Alanis"

Like the job on the video, though. This is how I've always seen hip-hop videos.

Poppatwang · April 4th, 2007, 12:01 PM

The cover of "Gin & Juice" was by The Gourds.
Then there's Ben Folds doing "B@#%*es Ain't S*#%" You hear every word & wish you hadn't.
