Is it a black fly in your chardonnay, a free ride when you've already paid or is it the fact that none of the things in the song are actually ironic at all?

What do you think defines irony folks?

The most ironic thing for me recently was being asked to play mistress to a strapping body builder.

Tbh I have no experience but thoroughly enjoyed playing I was surprised at how naturally it came. Got to love fab and the experiences that are available to us.

A song called Ironic written by someone with no apparent sense of irony. Unless they were being doubly ironic about that..

Or after the Exxon Valdez oil slick, after they cleaned it up, they called all the press to show them release a seal that they had spent thousands of dollars treating after it had been affected. It got killed by an orca almost immediately..

"Which do you want; Socratic irony, dramatic/tragic/Shakespearean irony, situational irony, or postmodern irony?

Whatcha got? "

Socratic irony is the feigning of ignorance in order to gain advantage from it (for example, playing the fool).

Dramatic irony most associates itself with situations in which there is a key feature of a story, often a surprise which will undo the primary character, which the audience or at least another member of the story knows about. Shakespeare used it a lot.

Postmodern irony or metafiction is when authors purposefully and consciously draw the readers' attention to the fact that you're reading fiction, reading a story, that the author knows you are there and addresses you directly, pointing out the fiction. The simplest examples of this are found in the interjections of an author as narrator, giving you little tidbits of information or ideas about what's going on in the author's mind, or beyond the written story.

Cosmic or situational irony is summed up effectively by describing a kind of pre-destined fate, often best illustrated by situations which we call Sod's law, or sometimes Murphy's law. Language evolves naturally and through misuse. So, whilst according to standard definitions, this is not an ironic situation but more unfortunate, increasingly this misuse of irony is becoming accepted as a genuine secondary explanation of irony, which is not necessarily something to be abhorred but it is important to be aware of it. However, since the term is misused so often, a form of irony called "Situational Irony" to name it exists. This is ultimately the case with Alanis’ song albeit who knows her thinking at the time.
