    I'm super excited to see that Alanis Morissette is to play The Marquee and Iveagh Gardens next July.
    One date in each place.
    Tickets go on sale on Monday.
    Does anybody know if this will sell out quickly as with Christmas next week, I could do without buying these next week!

    To thine own self be true

    yeah soundtrack to my mid teens - wondering the same about demand as don't wanna queue in town - much of a demand for the cork gig peeps?

    though if this thread is anything to go by, I guess not

    I would say that there could be a demand for the Dublin gig though

    No.

    The tickets are on sale today but the gig definitely isn't listed on the front page of ticketmaster and definitely couldn't be found with a quick google.

    lol good one - but unfortunately almost none of the "ironic" associations going around are so at all.. just as well Alanis knows the meaning of the word lol

    Referencing the song written about irony, that doesn’t have a single example of an ironic situation in it, I’d imagine?

    poster couldn't find tickets on line - nothing ironic about it - tickets are on ticketmaster.. a case of poor internet searching not irony

    poster above could not find tickets - they are on TM site - nothing ironic about it - just poor internet searching skills me thinks

    Yes, and the song is also devoid of irony... that’s the joke. I’d say you’re a barrel of laughs :rolleyes:

    Meeting the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful husband surely qualifies?

    nothing funny here.. just pointing out the lack of Irony
    Meeting the man of your dreams and then meeting his beautiful husband surely qualifies?

    yeah there seems to be a lot of folk who are unsure of the meaning of the word

    definition as follows:

    "happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this"

    I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

    any chance of another date being added on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,381 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    She was frequently ridiculed for not knowing what it means.

    She did an updated version, and even takes the piss out of the song


    An old friend sends you a Facebook request
    You only find out they’re racist after you accept
    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
    And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
    It’s like swiping left on your future soulmate
    It’s a Snapchat that you wish you had saved
    It’s a funny tweet that nobody faves
    And who would’ve thought it figures

    It’s a traffic jam when you try to use Waze
    A no-smoking sign when you brought your vape
    It’s 10,000 male late-night hosts when all you want is just one woman, seriously!
    It’s singing the duet of your dreams, and then Alanis Morissette shouting at you
    And isn’t it ironic, don’t you think?
    A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

    It’s like you’re first class on a Southwest plane
    Then you realize that every seat is the same
    It’s like Amazon but your package never came
    And who would’ve thought it figures

    It’s like Netflix but you own DVDs
    It’s a free ride but your Uber’s down the street
    It’s singing “Ironic,” but there are no ironies
    And who would’ve thought it figures

    This updated version of fire & rain is pretty good too.


    (JAMES)
    Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain,
    I've seen the rise and fall of the Beanie Babies trend,
    I've seen man buns, Myspace, and the Baja men,
    But I never thought I'd see a new Star Wars again.
    (STEPHEN)
    Once I looked down and saw some sneakers
    That had wheels built in the heel.
    I've seen grandmas read "50 Shades Of Grey"
    I've seen rainbow suspenders, and Taco Bell fourth meal,
    And Gluten-free Brown Sugar Special K.
    (JAMES)
    Oh I've seen snakes upon a plane,
    I've seen shampoo with conditioner built right in.
    I've seen Al Roker's body go from fat to thin,
    And I kinda hoped to see Left Shark again.
    (STEPHEN)
    Saw a strange pizza pie and it caught my eye, it was folded into a pouch.
    Lord knows what you call those, I should've asked the pizza guy.
    Well there's Bud Light Lime, and there's cybercrime, and flavor-crystal gum.
    Quidditch teams and skinny jeans cutting blood off from my thighs.
    (JAMES)
    Oh I've seen toast that's multigrain,
    I've seen almost every episode of "Friends."
    I've seen adult diapers, I think they're called Depends.
    But I never saw that show with the Olson twins.
    (STEPHEN)
    It's called "Full House."
    How many more verses are there James?
    (JAMES)
    About 75.
    (STEPHEN)
    We've gotta go to commercial.
    (JAMES)
    Oh, I've seen Seinfeld and Elaine...
