[QUOTE=ShibbOleth]  
Having heard some of Ms. Morissette’s music, there is again some unintentional irony there.  
[/QUOTE]

You make a good point. And the joke isn’t really enough to go for the whole 4 minutes, but it’s still funny and it’s a well-deserved parody of a dumb song. I liked the intense-looking guy sitting on the motorcycle.

[QUOTE=nevermore]

Besides, if she’d peed herself, it would’ve probably spread fairly quickly and half the damn audience would’ve noticed at once, whereas sweat would leak through over time. And a pee spot would’ve been a lot bigger.  
[/QUOTE]

Not if she was squatting at the time. Which is what the witnesses said she did.

Her comment in the interview about “a little leaking out”, is just her covering up the fact that she purposely squatted and peed onstage.

But, I don’t see what the big deal is either way. Guys have been peeing on stage (and into the audience) for years.

The Alanis send-up was hysterical…especially because of the whole “tortured melodic piano” type self-parody that also went on.

I will say that my _absolute favourite_ thing on youtube is the completely serious user-created Sims and Video Game content music videos.
