We don't think of this as an "ironic" cover of the ubiquitous hit; we really believe Alanis Morrissette is sincerely exploring her conflicted relationship with her sexuality (remember all that angry blowjob talk from back in the day?) through Fergie's haunting words. Hopefully she won't stop at reinterpreting just this one song—if she should choose to tackle the much richer "Don't Cha," we bet we'll finally end up with a version that unlocks the third-wave, freak-empowering feminist message that Pussycat Dolls were pressured into burying beneath club-friendly production values.
