Today's Can-Con 45 is from 1996 .. it's Alanis Morissette's first top 10 single ... "Ironic" ...

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

She took a lot of heat from faux-intellectual nit-pickers like myself who (quite correctly) criticize that very little, if anything, cited in the lyrics is actual irony.
Mostly, the examples run from simple coincidence: "An old man turned ninety-eight/He won the lottery and died the next day."
..to just plain bad-timing: "It's a free ride when you've already paid."
"You don't know man! I was in radio man! I've seen things you wouldn't believe!"

It was more "A series of 'bummers' than any sort of Irony. Good hook, but I was never a hardcore fan of the lady's music.
