Y is for 'You Oughta Know' - Song of the Day


The year was 1995 and a brash, talented young Canadian began to take the world by storm with this rocking song of female angst. With explicit, in your face lyrics and a defiant attitude, this one propelled Alannis Morissette and her album into the stratosphere, producing four #1 hits and selling over 45 million copies worldwide.

Though Morissette had been around for some time before, she had been a clean cut prom princess and had hardly been heard or heard of outside of Canada...until this one, the now classic 'Jagged Little Pill.' I remember playing the album over and over, singing right along with all of those great songs like 'Ironic,' Head Over Feet,' 'Hand in My Pocket,' and all the rest. The album was full of intoxicatingly well-written and well performed songs. So if you were around back in the day, you'll definitely remember this one. Enjoy 'You Oughta Know";
