Best Alanis Morissette Songs: Top 5 Deep Dive

Alanis Morissette redefined a generation of alt-rock, but which of her iconic tracks truly stand the test of time? Garrett Gonzales and Mike Joseph take on the impossible task of narrowing down the legendary discography of Alanis Morissette to just five essential songs.
In this edition of Top 5, the hosts navigate the raw angst of the 90s and the polished introspection of her later work. Listeners often struggle to choose between the cultural juggernaut of Jagged Little Pill and the cinematic haunting of her soundtrack contributions. Mike and Garrett solve this by debating the merits of:
- The cultural earthquake of "You Oughta Know"
- The whimsical irony of "Hand in My Pocket"
- The dark, orchestral intensity of "Uninvited"
- The infectious pop-sensibility of "Hands Clean"
By tuning in, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on Alanis’s songwriting evolution and rediscover the tracks that defined the alternative era. Whether you are a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this countdown serves as the definitive guide to a legendary career.

00:10.679 --> 00:32.029
[SPEAKER_01]: actually top five when it's more set and as I thought would be the case three out of the five of my top five are from jagged little pill but okay but I had a couple songs on the edges and I wanted to shout out these songs.
00:32.937 --> 00:44.854
[SPEAKER_01]: There are, um, there's a really, really fun song on an album called Such Pretty Forks in the Road called Reasons I Drink.
00:44.874 --> 00:46.576
[SPEAKER_01]: It is, I like the title.
00:46.756 --> 00:47.858
[SPEAKER_01]: It is super charming.
00:48.819 --> 00:55.789
[SPEAKER_01]: She sounds super young even though this album is probably less than, it's maybe it's a little bit more than five years old.
00:56.562 --> 01:20.089
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, you know, in the jacket little pill episode we were talking about how she had like these lyrics that were really biting and kind of dark, but still funny, but in the videos, she would portray like this sense of humor and goofiness and stuff and this song is kind of created in through that lens of
01:20.069 --> 01:24.354
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the the sat satirical stuff that she would do pretty well.
01:24.414 --> 01:26.977
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like that song a lot reasons reasons I drink.
01:28.218 --> 01:37.609
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's another song on that album called Smiling, which is kind of like that haunting sound from uninvited.
01:37.629 --> 01:43.275
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I wanted to shout out both of those songs because in this process of.
01:43.255 --> 01:52.173
[SPEAKER_01]: listening to all the stuff that I didn't really know too much about like those those two songs like really really stood out for me so I wanted to give a little bit of a shout out to those.
01:53.095 --> 02:01.973
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, but how easy was this for you to make what were there any hard cuts or readjust like I've these were have been my favorite Atlanta songs ever since the beginning.
02:02.307 --> 02:13.081
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I had to kind of dig through the track listings of some of her later albums, just to sort of reocquaint myself with a few of the songs.
02:13.542 --> 02:17.107
[SPEAKER_00]: But more or less, it was a pretty easy list to make.
02:18.108 --> 02:25.518
[SPEAKER_00]: There's only, I guess, one and a half songs from jagged little pill on there.
02:27.120 --> 02:32.247
[SPEAKER_00]: But they're also all pretty popular songs.
02:32.412 --> 02:33.013
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
02:33.033 --> 02:34.114
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's kick it off.
02:34.334 --> 02:43.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with a number five here, which is the uninvited song from the city of angels soundtrack.
02:43.827 --> 02:46.891
[SPEAKER_01]: Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage.
02:47.652 --> 02:52.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we were trying to I was playing this song with Crystal last night.
02:52.698 --> 02:54.100
[SPEAKER_01]: We went up to dinner.
02:54.316 --> 03:01.447
[SPEAKER_01]: And so the art of the soundtrack comes on and it's like, oh, Meg Ryan, and I was like, who is that?
03:01.467 --> 03:02.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that Ben Affleck?
03:02.288 --> 03:03.650
[SPEAKER_01]: As I can know, it's Nicholas Cage.
03:03.670 --> 03:05.252
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like, that's not Nicholas Cage.
03:05.893 --> 03:08.457
[SPEAKER_01]: And so she's digging through, you know, she's doing the research.
03:08.557 --> 03:11.061
[SPEAKER_01]: She's like, it's somebody else's on the tip of my tongue.
03:11.982 --> 03:13.765
[SPEAKER_01]: And then she looks at us, but it's Nicholas Cage.
03:13.785 --> 03:22.618
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, I was thinking of a different movie with Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan, which I don't know what that movie is.
03:22.919 --> 03:23.299
[SPEAKER_01]: Ha!
03:23.960 --> 03:24.701
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't ring a bell.
03:24.942 --> 03:25.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Dooth from the mid-90s.
03:25.943 --> 03:27.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll look alike, I guess.
03:27.945 --> 03:31.370
[SPEAKER_00]: City of Angels, I think Phenomenon too, we're just talking about that.
03:33.012 --> 03:36.816
[SPEAKER_00]: In Phenomenon, I think John Travolta plays a dead guy who's like a ghost.
03:36.896 --> 03:37.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
03:37.737 --> 03:41.422
[SPEAKER_00]: And I believe in City of Angels, Nicholas Cage plays a dead guy who's a ghost.
03:44.686 --> 03:45.467
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
03:45.582 --> 03:54.277
[SPEAKER_00]: So playing Ghost, I mean, Patrick's way as you started, I guess, uh, but, you know, if you wanted to hop on a movie in the 90s, I guess you had to play a Ghost.
03:54.598 --> 03:57.242
[SPEAKER_00]: The Meg Ryan and the Garcia movie is one of Manlose Woman.
03:57.823 --> 03:58.404
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the one.
03:58.444 --> 03:59.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:59.066 --> 03:59.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
03:59.226 --> 04:02.131
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're not given enough credit to the person who did it first.
04:03.533 --> 04:08.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Bill Cosby and Ghost Dad.
04:09.545 --> 04:27.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh god, that was a terrible movie, by the way, I can only imagine it was not I'm sure I saw that when I was a kid, but you know what it was still better than Leonard Leonard, which I go I was asking my dad one time.
04:28.567 --> 04:31.991
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, okay, this does not make any sense to me whatsoever.
04:32.151 --> 04:37.257
[SPEAKER_01]: How can you be on the biggest television show of all time?
04:37.591 --> 04:42.056
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when you make movies, they're the single worst movie that comes out in that year.
04:43.037 --> 04:46.642
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, it doesn't always translate, right?
04:46.682 --> 04:49.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Like his Jerry Seinfeld ever been in like a big movie.
04:49.965 --> 04:54.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, but Cosby was in stuff in the 70s with 70s, right?
04:54.571 --> 04:55.091
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
04:55.552 --> 04:59.196
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just like, I didn't get it.
04:59.296 --> 05:06.805
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't understand why he was in such terrible movies that would only show up on like the USA channel
05:06.903 --> 05:08.925
[SPEAKER_01]: He should have called Sydney potty a back up.
05:09.346 --> 05:10.687
[SPEAKER_01]: I know exactly.
05:10.707 --> 05:12.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe Sydney potty a new by then.
05:12.930 --> 05:15.893
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, I mean, I miss him with you no more don't.
05:16.214 --> 05:17.135
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:18.797 --> 05:19.237
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
05:19.277 --> 05:22.421
[SPEAKER_01]: So uninvited, it's just a really haunting song.
05:22.481 --> 05:27.967
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I was going through the tracks and I was listening to it as a guy, I remember really liking this song.
05:28.407 --> 05:30.810
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I was like, trying to think it was like, what album is this on?
05:30.830 --> 05:32.472
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't figure it out.
05:32.452 --> 05:37.922
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when I saw the soundtrack, I was like, okay, that makes sense, like it wasn't on any of her albums.
05:38.643 --> 05:42.149
[SPEAKER_00]: Uninvited actually shows up later on my lists, okay.
05:42.990 --> 05:45.635
[SPEAKER_00]: But I was one of those people who bought the city of Angel soundtrack.
05:46.096 --> 05:47.338
[SPEAKER_00]: What else was on there?
05:47.774 --> 05:50.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, what else is on there?
05:50.078 --> 05:52.802
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a YouTube, oh, I respite the Google Dolls.
05:52.982 --> 05:53.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
05:53.323 --> 05:58.151
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on there, which, you know, was, like, you know, a gigantic ginormous hit.
05:58.892 --> 06:03.199
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's a song by, uh, YouTube on there.
06:03.239 --> 06:07.887
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think there was a song by, uh, Paul Cole.
06:07.947 --> 06:13.596
[SPEAKER_00]: They were, you know, it was
06:15.972 --> 06:18.334
[SPEAKER_00]: typical whatever for that time period.
06:18.755 --> 06:22.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Angel by Sarah McLaughlin, the ASPCA song.
06:24.761 --> 06:27.444
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a bunch of instrumental music and Old Jamie Hendrick song.
06:28.605 --> 06:31.928
[SPEAKER_01]: How many of you came out of track was better in the movie?
06:33.030 --> 06:35.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the movie doesn't look great.
06:38.275 --> 06:42.199
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna say very likely this soundtrack was better than the movie.
06:42.803 --> 06:43.706
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, what's your number five?
06:44.810 --> 06:50.610
[SPEAKER_00]: My number five is Hans Clean, which is from, I believe, for third album under rug swept.
06:52.476 --> 06:55.125
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just kind of a, you know,
06:56.557 --> 07:04.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you can, it's a little poppyer than her previous record was, but it's still very much Atlantis.
07:04.628 --> 07:05.389
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very wordy.
07:07.512 --> 07:09.555
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, I don't know, it's an earworm.
07:09.955 --> 07:11.858
[SPEAKER_01]: Hands clean is actually a number four for me.
07:12.639 --> 07:12.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh damn.
07:13.280 --> 07:21.451
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like it's maybe the most jaggedy little pill song she did since the album, the album.
07:22.312 --> 07:26.277
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a little, it's less,
07:28.147 --> 07:31.813
[SPEAKER_00]: less aggressive, but you know, it's still very similar, I think.
07:32.154 --> 07:33.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
07:33.617 --> 07:33.797
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
07:33.817 --> 07:35.260
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my number four, what you're number four.
07:36.021 --> 07:48.062
[SPEAKER_00]: So my number four, so all the way at the end of jagged a little pill, there is a pause, and then there is a bonus track called your house, which
07:48.768 --> 08:18.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and, you know, I was looking at the digital version and I think it got cut like it got removed from the digital version of the album, um, but it appears on like a couple of live albums, um, but it's just like it's super affecting because it's just her voice, right, and, um, and she's building like going full throttle and it's such like a, you know, you mentioned haunting earlier and it's a very haunting song.
08:19.143 --> 08:22.588
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think...
08:24.442 --> 08:27.465
[SPEAKER_00]: It can be used correctly, and it can be used incorrectly.
08:28.426 --> 08:33.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I think if she uses it too much, it's like, you know, it's like Mariah and the whistle, right?
08:33.351 --> 08:34.972
[SPEAKER_00]: You put it in the right place, and it's perfect.
08:35.072 --> 08:42.620
[SPEAKER_00]: You use it to kind of just show off or make a point, then it just becomes kind of this weird idiosyncratic thing that's kind of annoying.
08:42.880 --> 08:45.763
[SPEAKER_01]: But it did separate her from everybody else, right?
08:45.963 --> 08:48.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, that's a style in which and how she used it.
08:49.446 --> 08:53.470
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
08:53.905 --> 08:59.053
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, the last three songs are, or I'll jagged a little pill song.
08:59.073 --> 09:11.974
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll, I'll, I'll, yeah, I'll just go, number three head over feet, it's just so memorable to me.
09:12.194 --> 09:13.757
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's so time and place.
09:13.797 --> 09:15.660
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.
09:17.294 --> 09:25.906
[SPEAKER_01]: you just hear it and if you haven't heard that song in a long time, you just remember it, right?
09:25.966 --> 09:27.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's very familiar.
09:27.469 --> 09:28.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really like that.
09:29.191 --> 09:29.772
[SPEAKER_00]: So good song.
09:29.972 --> 09:30.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
09:30.253 --> 09:30.773
[SPEAKER_00]: So good song.
09:31.815 --> 09:33.077
[SPEAKER_00]: My number three was thank you.
09:35.140 --> 09:35.500
[SPEAKER_00]: You know.
09:35.700 --> 09:36.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, Linda.
09:37.102 --> 09:37.383
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
09:38.845 --> 09:42.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, disillusionment.
09:43.282 --> 09:48.610
[SPEAKER_00]: obviously a very memorable video where she's like walking through the streets of LA but naked.
09:48.830 --> 09:49.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
09:49.631 --> 09:50.593
[SPEAKER_01]: But naked and blurry.
09:51.214 --> 09:52.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, exactly.
09:54.218 --> 09:56.362
[SPEAKER_00]: That would, she would put that record out.
09:56.382 --> 09:57.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Fifteen, put that video out.
09:57.483 --> 09:59.346
[SPEAKER_00]: Fifteen years later it would have been so memeable.
09:59.867 --> 10:00.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:01.028 --> 10:03.592
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there would have been so many people.
10:03.973 --> 10:09.441
[SPEAKER_00]: It would have been like the Shakira Shiba video where like everybody just did like a knock off of it.
10:10.653 --> 10:12.575
[SPEAKER_01]: Will Ferrell would do his version.
10:12.976 --> 10:13.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, for sure.
10:13.756 --> 10:15.839
[SPEAKER_00]: There'd be a little island version.
10:15.939 --> 10:16.900
[SPEAKER_00]: There'd be all this stuff.
10:17.380 --> 10:19.122
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think he was a good song.
10:20.243 --> 10:26.971
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the fact that she put herself in the video like that, I mean, I'm assuming that she was just in front of a green screen.
10:27.311 --> 10:33.398
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they just, I heard that she was that she was actually like legit out on the streets at like four in a morning.
10:34.278 --> 10:36.080
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like I was watching it.
10:36.821 --> 10:38.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was looking for
10:40.066 --> 10:58.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I was I was looking for that were the green screen would be because there's some stuff where she's in on like on streets and stuff right so I don't know it looked fake to me, but if it wasn't fake, then that was incredible because the last person we saw walking naked on the street was that Madonna sex book.
10:59.115 --> 11:09.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, well, there was also the video Erica by dude did a similar video where she was, she took off her clothes gradually and then at the end of the video she's completely naked and she can shot.
11:09.260 --> 11:10.483
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I do remember that.
11:10.603 --> 11:12.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I do remember that.
11:12.989 --> 11:13.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:15.394 --> 11:22.791
[SPEAKER_01]: So my number two is is got to be your number one because I've said you got you I don't know at number two.
11:24.034 --> 11:24.255
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:24.636 --> 11:25.437
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's your number one.
11:26.580 --> 11:27.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, my number one.
11:27.783 --> 11:28.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
11:29.037 --> 11:37.750
[SPEAKER_01]: So my number, so my number two and the number one would be handed my pocket, but it's for the same reason as as head over feet.
11:37.811 --> 11:54.977
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like so memorable and the chorus and the uniqueness in which she sings it and just the lyrics and kind of like this person who is not meant to be a superstar and it's just kind of like a normal person.
11:55.447 --> 12:08.393
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a song that a normal person kind of sings about the uniqueness of your life and then she just becomes super famous so I thought I like the irony of using it correctly.
12:09.115 --> 12:09.435
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
12:09.495 --> 12:10.897
[SPEAKER_01]: So what was your number two?
12:11.238 --> 12:12.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I know you might want to know number one.
12:12.699 --> 12:12.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:13.140 --> 12:14.361
[SPEAKER_00]: My number two was uninvited.
12:14.402 --> 12:14.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
12:15.283 --> 12:16.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:16.604 --> 12:16.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
12:16.805 --> 12:19.187
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that's a perfect song.
12:19.207 --> 12:23.192
[SPEAKER_00]: There's actually it's funny when it was popular back in the day.
12:23.753 --> 12:28.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's the version that's on the soundtrack, which is just kind of heard of piano and orchestra, whatever.
12:28.519 --> 12:30.702
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a then somebody remixed it.
12:31.403 --> 12:31.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, wow.
12:31.723 --> 12:33.385
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like there's like a
12:34.411 --> 12:40.237
[SPEAKER_00]: like a, you know, night at the Roxbury club version of uninvited, which is on streaming services.
12:40.597 --> 12:56.013
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder that that'd be interesting because I mean, I have to have heard it while at some sort of bar club, but just maybe that like didn't come to memory when, but now that you say that, like that makes a lot of sense.
12:57.414 --> 12:59.616
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like picturing like you're in a club you're dancing.
12:59.676 --> 13:01.498
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the Lannis' voice comes on you like,
13:02.862 --> 13:04.888
[SPEAKER_00]: weird, but you know, it worked.
13:06.012 --> 13:16.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the her voice is super haunting and it's like you if you like you know what that song actually reminds me of remember when.
13:17.577 --> 13:21.762
[SPEAKER_01]: And Puff Daddy did the Godzilla song for the Godzilla song.
13:22.002 --> 13:24.786
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, it's, but they kind of start the same, right?
13:24.806 --> 13:29.812
[SPEAKER_01]: They just build and build and build and you get like that, like the bigness of that sound.
13:29.832 --> 13:32.215
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's kind of what it reminded me of when I heard it again.
13:32.235 --> 13:35.679
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, yeah, it's kind of reminds me of the Jimmy Page song.
13:36.901 --> 13:42.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, one thing I forgot, is that me and Elanis are almost birthday twins.
13:43.669 --> 13:46.352
[SPEAKER_00]: When is her birthday?
13:47.142 --> 13:48.464

15:48.015 --> 15:57.032
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to just have it in the backyard and I'm trying to come up with the list of people because like I have such a big family on my mom side.
15:57.907 --> 16:10.370
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really don't want to invite everybody because then it just becomes, well, it's more so I want to host, you know, or I want to actually be able to spend time with with people.
16:10.550 --> 16:14.658
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if I invite so many people, then it becomes a little chaotic.
16:15.219 --> 16:15.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
16:15.539 --> 16:21.450
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I've picked some of my my cousins who are a little bit more closer to my age.
16:21.430 --> 16:29.850
[SPEAKER_01]: And then friends and my kids and my stepkids and some family will be around, I think my mom's going to try to come out.
16:29.950 --> 16:30.892
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll do it.

16:31.654 --> 16:36.064
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I always thought because, you know, for my 40th.
16:36.702 --> 16:39.685
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, like, should we, like rent a thing and invite people?
16:39.765 --> 16:44.210
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it eventually, I just did stuff with different pockets of friends.
16:44.330 --> 16:44.671

17:03.531 --> 17:04.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I,
