Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Morissette, Alanis

    Who is Alanis's songwriting partner?Alanis Morissette (Ophelia78)

      Glen Ballard.

    While most of Alanis Morissette's songs have a certain degree of whining in them, the track "One" from "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" took this statement to new limits. For example "Did you just call her amazing? / Surely we both can't be amazing!" Anyways, what two words are missing from this lyric, taken from "One"?: "I have been loud and --- , I have been --- threatened"Next Whines - Alanis Morissette Lyrics (Blethar)

      Pretentious / Utterly. This song appears to be a collection of Alanis' neediest whines. It seems to reflect on some of the feelings and experiences she's had during her early celebrity years, and is quite a nice tune. Comes with incoherent screams at the end too.

    Where was Alanis born?Alanis Morissette (Ophelia78)

      Ottawa, Ont. Canada.

    What lyric comes after this one, taken from the song "Eight Easy Steps": "I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps"?Next Whines - Alanis Morissette Lyrics (Blethar)

      The course of a lifetime you'll never forget. This song comes from the 2004 album "So-Called Chaos". According to Alanis, it's lyrics came from the fact that there are so many "# Step Programs That Will Change [insert undesirable quality]" out there, she felt compelled to write a sarcastic version. In a song. And at 2:52 minutes long, it's one of her shortest songs yet.

    What is interesting about the video for her song 'Thank U'?Alanis Morissette (Ophelia78)

      Alanis appears naked.

    There is a hidden track at the end of 'Jagged Little Pill'. What is it called?Alanis Morissette (Ophelia78)

      Your House.

    The "Jagged Little Pill" album was named after a part of a lyric on which of Alanis Morissette's songs?Next Whines - Alanis Morissette Lyrics (Blethar)

      You Learn. Naming albums after a lyric on one of its tracks became a trend with Alanis, which was only broken when she named "So-Called Chaos" after its sixth track. "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie" was a line in "So Pure", "Under Rug Swept" was part of the bridge on "Hands Clean", and "Feast On Scraps" was featured in a lyric from "Bent For You".

    Right. I'm going to make this question hard by not telling you what song the following lyric comes from. What lyric comes next?: "I couldn't help it"Next Whines - Alanis Morissette Lyrics (Blethar)

      It's all your fault. Those two lines came from the chorus of the song "Head Over Feet", from "Jagged Little Pill". Another single from the album, the video featured deliberatley awful lip synching and was filmed in the dark at her home.

    Miss Morissette contributed to the "Prayer Cycle" album with a song named "Mercy". In this song, Alanis sings a segment in a language that is not English. What language is it?Next Whines - Alanis Morissette Lyrics (Blethar)

      Hungarian. A rarity that became a part of her greatest hits album, "The Collection", in 2005. She also lent her vocals to another few song songs on the "Prayer Cycle" album, and sung in French at one point. Well, that's the end. Thanks for playing, and thanks to Flynn_17 for continually pushing me, over and over, to do this quiz. He helped with the intro and a few questions too. Seeing as I put so much hard work into this, you should probably give me a decent rating...
