I didn't even have to view either link, to know what you were talking about, but I dont' care for either Alanis OR the B.E.P.'s
Alanis sang a song that (Ironicly) wasn't even truly about Irony, it more about coincidence, and the B.E.P.'s just dont' do it for me, especially Fergie. YUCK...
God I'm old.

I cannot STAND the Black Eyed Peas, but I've always oddly liked Alanis... perhaps it's that Canadian thing. I don't want to like her but I find her lyrics oddly charming. And even though this video is NUTSO, I think it's hysterical that she took a stab at it with a freakin' PIANO and a melody.
But it hurts to watch!!!!!

The Black-Eyed Peas may be the most annoying group ever.

This is where you will find common ground between right wingers and left wingers.

This song has been haunting me for about 24 hours since I saw it first. I reacted with such shock I didn't know what the fuck to think.
Now, after a day, I just clued in that Alanis is kind of genius. It's a freakin' social commentary on how fucked up that kind of music is, both lyrically and musically. Not to mention the plotline in the video.
Kudos. But yes, IT STILL HURTS TO WATCH AND LISTEN! LOL

The original is terrible...but the Morrisette cover version pretty good, I reckon.

Morissette's Humps web-spoof a hit
Canadian Press
Toronto — A cutting parody of the Black Eyed Peas' party song My Humps has Alanis Morissette fans howling online.
A spoof music video on sites including Morissette's website and MySpace page has the Ottawa native crooning a slowed-down torch version of the chart-topper and gyrating in a variety of hootchie outfits including short-shorts, a tube top and a tight satin jacket.
The ridiculous clip is attracting cheers from fans across the blogosphere, where pop-culture junkies are delighting in the Ironic singer's no-holds-barred critique of the titillating track and singer Fergie's suggestive dance moves.
"The My Humps video is ultra-comic GOLD!" one fan, identified as 31-year-old Julian from Decatur, Ga., writes on Morissette's MySpace page.

"Your video is freakin' hilarious!! Maybe u could do Alanis-licious too!!" adds Kelly, a 30-year-old woman from Texas.
A spokesman for Morissette said the singer was not commenting on why she recorded the song and shot a video, but reports have suggested it was an April Fool's joke for fans.
With call-and-response lyrics including the hypnotic refrain, "My humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady lumps," the Black Eyed Peas hit has drawn its fair share of detractors since its release in late 2005.
Slate.com derided the track in a December 2005 posting as "horrifically bad," going on to describe it as "a stunning assemblage of awful ideas." The All Music Guide called it "one of the most embarrassing rap performances of the new millennium."
Still, its catchy melody and suggestive video won it heavy radio and television play last year, and in February My Humps won a Grammy for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocal.
But it's clear the song still rankles. As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 1.5 million people had watched Morissette's goofy cover on Youtube.com.
"HAHA! I like Alanis all over again," dannosaurus says on Youtube.com, identified on his profile as 33-year-old Dan from the United States.
"This is just perfect. Really shows how stupid those lyrics actually are."
