Sadormbo got it right in his post that I’ll just needlessly reiterate: ” So the revealed irony is Something imperfect (rain) happens on a day that is pīut out of most of the people in this thread For example rain on a wedding day is not literal irony, but if you think about what she means by wedding day, a wedding day is supposed to be your perfect day. Without knowing the personal situations and feelings associated with the things in Ironic, the song will seem like it contains few actual ironies. Given those facts, I can definately see how many people can become confused about ironies. Those are the invisible …’s to each of those situations and unless you interview her you won’t really know what they are and will never know. Considering that those are life situations, there are many more things about them that we don’t really know, most personal in nature.
We don’t really know the ironies of this song, since we don’t really personally know what she meant, but one thing is clear. I know a few artists that have personal encodings to their writings, and unless you know the specific personal encodings it won’t make sense to you. I wish I had the morals of Paris Hilton, because then every one would realize what a truly great person I am.” However change the sentence ever so slightly and you get: Without understanding what both sneezlbat and Winkadeel mean the irony is lost. I wish I had the sneezlbat of Winkadeel, because then every one would realize what a truly great person I am. “Sometimes irony requires an understanding of the subject that the reader my not possess, for example: Notice: JavaScript is required for this content. Isn’t it ironic that a genius communicator is someone who can express things as simply and clearly as possible? Dontcha think? This isn’t a problem for pop stars, but it’s something to think about when you approach your own blogging and copywriting. You may be absolutely brilliant, but if only really smart people and mystery lovers can figure out what you’re actually talking about, you’re a failure from a marketing standpoint. Regardless, there’s a point for writers beyond the notion that Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” isn’t ironic. Others might argue that the song does contain at least one or two examples of irony, which would invalidate the explanation. One could certainly argue that Morissette simply recognized a saving grace and took it.
“For me the sweetest moment came in New York when a woman came up to me in a record store and said, ‘So all those things in ‘Ironic’ aren’t ironic.’ And then she said, ‘And that’s the irony.’ I said, ‘Yup.’” I decided to do a little digging to see if Morissette had ever validated that interpretation. I never heard back from the reader, so I’m guessing he didn’t like my theory. Morissette may have been playing a wonderfully perverse joke on all of us on another level.” “That, in and of itself, is ironic, and justifies the entire song from an artistic standpoint. If you discount the argument that some of her examples qualify as ‘cosmic irony’ (which I think is rather weak), the song ‘Ironic’ is devoid of irony in any of the illustrations she offers.

He went on to lament a lack of understanding of irony in general, “like that idiot Alanis Morissette.” (Sounds like he thought Alanis needed to be taught how to stfu.) When I mentioned irony and sarcasm in a post about metaphor, simile, and analogy, a reader emailed me bemoaning the inability of some to distinguish between irony and sarcasm.
