Meanest Love Songs: No. 3

'You Oughta Know'
--Alanis Morissette (1995)

The Kiss-Off: "Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it"

Like 'You're So Vain,' Alanis' signature song involves an unnamed lover whose identity has been the subject of mucho speculation over the years. Was it old boyfriend Dave Coulier? Matt LeBlanc? Any number of hockey players? We're partial to the rumor that it was actually Coulier's 'Full House' co-star Bob Saget. Buy on iTunes

Where is Marrianne Faithful "Why'ja do it"..."You spit on my snatch" was some powerful image but it said it all.

Man, this album is THE best album for any woman who's been double crossed by her lover! It's an abondoned woman's Anthem!! GREAT. Not one bad song on the whole album which is why it went platnium overnight.

After I caught my first husband cheating I was playing this song when he walked in to find his stuff packed in the yard for him. I have long natural nails and he loved when I scratched his back and arms. It has been over ten years. I am now happily maried with 2 kids and he is still single,(no girls in our hometown want anything to do with him after the way he ran around on me.) So I hope he hears this song and remembers who caused his unhappiness.(himself!) I scratch my new husbands back and arms for him and I hope #1 feels it everytime.

Awesome song and glad it is on here. I love to listen to it and love to sing it. Whoever this was about HAD to at least think, "Damn."

This entire ALBUM is incredible. Most of the songs with the exception of One Hand In My Pocket and Head Over Feet are pretty sharp-tongued. I always wondered, "Whatever will happen to her music career if Alanis is happy in a relationship??" I've thought the same thing about the guy from Stabbing Westward.
