In 2004, Alanis Morissette's character locked lips with Carrie Bradshaw on an episode of 'Sex and the City,' further popularizing the girl crush among straight women.

'You Oughta Know'

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?
