The song FRIDAY by REBECCA BLACK. "Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards." Nonsensical lyrics. "Chillin' in the front seat, kickin' in the back seat." Seems like secret code, right? WRONG. She's just a really bad song writer. Nothing to fear.

The song IRONIC by ALANIS MORISSETTE. Even though the title claims that things are ironic, and the chorus literally states this ("Isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic. Yeah, I really do think..."), none of the things mentioned in the song are actually ironic at all!

Rain on your wedding day would only be ironic if you were a meteorologist, a black fly in your Chardonnay would only be ironic if you were an exteminator, etc.

Secret code? Lack of understanding of the term 'ironic'? I'll let you decide.

Ask me anything
