It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife

it's like badly written pop songs being played on once-decent radio stations. it's like a million and one Hanson fans flooding message boards with misspelled words and overuse of capitalization. actually, it's nothing like that. but that just came to mind.

there are different types of irony. there is the irony of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that's situational irony. then there's the irony of being on stage with frank sinatra and he calls you by name, but it's the wrong name. i guess that's situational irony too.

it's like how everyone complains that the music scene is going down the tubes, when anyone who's anyone knows it's been like that ever since Dylan perfected the rock and roll song in the late sixties.

I mean, how many times have you sat in a traffic jam and you hate it because you're late and like *pow* you go, "Wow, I'm here in this traffic jam and I hate it because I'm late, this is really ironic."
Ooo boggle. What were you thinking when those lines came up girl!

love is blind trust
love is rejection"

now that's fucking ironic

my friend julie introduced me to
my friend irony:
a glittery bowler hat with legs
my friend irony
used to follow us around all the time
and i remember that day
when we were sitting side by side
at that cafe
legs
not quite touching
thoughts
totally focused on each other
grinning
with things unsaid
and how
my friend irony
squished between us
and ordered a chocolate spider.

One level of irony and sarcasm just isn't enough anymore... when being sarcastic about something I can no longer use pure sarcasm, I can only be sarcastic about my use of sarcasm because the use of sarcasm itself has become so trite now that it has become the norm.
Society now is a parody of itself, and I only feel able to parody the parody. Lately its been worse, to me a parody of parody has now become commonplace and I am only able to mock my own meta-parody. This 3rd level of irony now threatens to fold back in upon itself and become trite.
There is an infinite chain of irony growing, and reality shrinks ever further in the distance.

I think you have them by the balls.
a cow getting hit by an asteroid seems a bit ironic, with the whole cow jumped over the moon thing.
Reincarnation must be real ironic.

a free ride when you've already paid is just unlucky
rain on your wedding day is fairly probable
ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife is ridiculous hyberbole. it's never gonna happen, unless you work in a spoon factory.
maybe the real irony in that alanis morisette song is that ironically nothing in the song is actually ironic.

Its kind of entertaining that in the song 'Ironic' there isnt one example of irony. Its all coincidence, or bad luck as stated above.

it's ironic that the song, 'ironic', contains no actual examples of irony at all.

you know that song "All of me"? It's good to sing it to someone who just doesn't understand irony. So you change the word and instaed sing: "Irony, why not use Irony, can't you see I don't mean what I'm saying..."

the birth and death of a person coinciding with both the birth and death of a planetary status are unexpected enough to be ironic ... we have two coincidences, which might just manage to become one irony.

Was it you Irony who listened to my murmurs into the pillow at night?
Did you see me filling with Joy and wonder what all I might do if you gave me my heart's wish?
In my ears and in my hands I've been given all I asked for and it frightens me
I don't want to fail
