I'm curious if anybody has seen this:

...and I'm curious what you think about it.

The original was rather sexist, and I've heard that's what she's trying to mock, but...it seems so...weird to me.

I think its funny ... well, mildly amusing. Its not great music, but that's not the point, is it? I'd put it on par with this one:

LOL!

I don't even know who Amanda Congdon is, but I'm sure she appreciates that!

Wow, I hadn't seen that, but now that you've pointed out, suddenly
I see it all over the Internet. I think it is exceptionally awesome. It
is probably less weird if you were as disgusted as I by the original
(why, Fergie, why???)

The best part has to be Alanis demonstrating the "drama" which
ensues when guys touch: she pulls out the self-defense moves she
learned at the YMCA.

I was simply amazed to see how popular a song featuring a woman singing about her, um, bodily protuberances became!
Don't get me wrong, lots of guys are overly proud of THEIR equipment, but I don't remember hearing* of anyone singing about their "macho, manly mounds" or any such thing. I think people would have been outraged and protested all over about such a thing.

*OTOH,I don't listen to a lot of pop music, so there may well have been a song called "My B*lls" or some such...

I love the Alanis version. Hate the original.

Ever heard that song by the a cappella group "Davinci's Notebook"? No? Then looky here. (Warning: Adult lyrics.)

That was absolutely hilarious!

Alanis totally rocks.

She does, indeed!

I liked them both. One thing I've noticed--
truly bad stuff doesn't get parodied.
