If you think about it, it's a pretty good musical trolling exercise.

A song about irony which doesn't contain a single instance of irony.

Now, isn't that ironic?

Alanis has gone on tour with The Lonely Island, replacing Solange as the featured vocalist in their live performance of "Semicolon". When it gets to the part where she points out that all the lyrics are examples where colons would be used, TLI respond "Alanis Morrisette lecturing US about grammar? Isn't that a little... IRONIC?" And then they all segue into the chorus of "Ironic". Good times.

There's definitely a case to be made that some of that song is situational, and if you peer and squint really hard it could even be a deeper irony:
