My Jagged Little Humps

Well, I'm back from my short, six-month hiatus from blogging. I know the internet(s) probably broke down and ceased to exist without my contributions, but fear not! The random and unnecessary postings shall continue.



First she played God in Kevin Smith's Dogma. Now she's taking the next logical step--imitating Fergie. Well, if you didn't like Alanis Morissette before, I think you would be pretty hard-pressed to dislike her after watching her latest video (above). She does a cover of "My Humps" from the Black Eyed Peas, except she sings it almost as if it were one of her own songs. It's a bit strange to actually understand the lyrics to this one and to hear it sung so dramatically. I would assume this was some sort of April Fools' Day gag, but regardless, I think a good parody of Fergie's work was way overdue. I'm actually one of those disgusting weirdos who enjoys her songs--I truly love "Fergalicious" and "Glamorous," and I don't know why. Although even I will admit that "London Bridge" was crap to a new level (which, of course, does not in any way mean that I did not enjoy it).

Anyway, Morissette's cover version of "My Humps" is hilarious, and it once again illustrates Morissette's willingness to make fun of herself (for further evidence, catch this clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live). I've been a fan of Morissette's music for over a decade (ever since "You Oughta Know" was first released), and although she is not as aggressive-sounding as before, she always seems to find a way to stay fresh and entertaining.
