20 Years Later, Alanis Morissette Adds Southwest Airlines to the “Ironic” Lexicon

I have very eclectic taste in music.  My iTunes library has everything from Aerosmith to Public Enemy. And, there’s a bit of Alanis Morissette in there as well.  I was tooling around the Award Travel 101 Facebook group last night.  Incidentally, it happens to be a pretty cool place to get your travel questions answered.  One of their members, Emilia R, posted a video that I got a pretty good laugh at in the group.

Southwest Airlines is normally revered in our circles, especially for their awesome Companion Pass, the single best benefit in travel.  Alanis re-wrote the Ironic lyrics two decades later and found a pretty funny way to weave Southwest in there:

The Final Two Pennies

Alanis has a good sense of humor.  Her joke about Southwest reminds me of a pretty funny story involving my daughter causing a bit of a row on a Southwest flight when she was 3 years old.  But, that’s a story for another day.
