Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know Is About David Coulier

Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know Is About David Coulier

Am I the only one that didn't know this? I understand the song is old, but I just had to post this. I mean, JOEY from Full House?! Going down in a theatre? Are you thinking of me when you ... ?

JOEY?!

Yes, I've been under a rock. But for those of you who have comfortably been sharing the space with me: Alanis Morissette wrote 'You Oughta Know' about David Coulier from Full House. Read the lyrics with this new information and see it in a whole new light.

Here he is talking about figuring it all out himself.

"(When I first heard the song) I said, ‘Wow, this girl is angry,’And then I said, ‘Oh man, I think it’s Alanis.’ I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, ‘I think I have really hurt this person.’"

"We saw each other and hung out for an entire day. And it was beautiful. It was one of those things where it was kind of like, ‘We’re good.’"

"You Oughta Know"

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you **** her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

David is re-hashing this to get publicity. This news came out years ago before Alanis started dating Ryan Reynolds.

Honestly I can't ever remember her saying yes or no...I thought it was always just an unconfirmed bit of gossip. ~~ Word to Your Mother ~~

OMG.. I had no idea. I LOVE this song. When I'm in my angry "female dog" mood, I always put in this CD. I was just telling my daughter about this song, and about Alanis' stage in life when she was an angry girl. She is a passionate woman, I love that you can feel that in her music. Thanks for the info!

haha, Vera you MIGHT just be the only one. It's ok though, seriously...are we really in the "need to know" about this? I truely would rather know who was "so vain" in Carly Simon's song. She swears it's not Warren Beaty - so who?

"You're So Vain" was about James Taylor. He was very cocky, very arrogant, and he hurt Carly Simon big time.

"You're So Vain" is about Warren Beatty.

It may be old news but he was just talking about it in an interview, which is why it's "news" again. I'm like you Vera, I had no clue. LOL It's hilarious, though, because he is NOT someone I could imagine her with! And that HE cheated/dumped whatever. Yes, Jan, THE best scorned woman song ever!! :D

Wow, well, I must be one of those people living under a rock because I didn't know either. And to the person who said this was from Alanis' angry CD, well that's totally wrong. Most of the songs from that CD are positive and optimistic: "All I Really Want", "Hand in My Pocket", "You Learn", "Hand Over Feet".

Indeed, very old news. It is funny how many people haven't heard this before though. I do think it is odd that he is just bringing this up again now. Weird. When I originally heard about this I could not fathom Joey from Full House (it's so funny how many ppl call him Uncle Joey because that wasn't his name haha almost everyone I know calls him Uncle Joey) could be the person the song was referring to. So crazy.

"Of the cross I bear that you gave to me" Did he give her herpes. I wonder.....

That is what I always took that to mean. Old, old news. Now if one of them admits which permant STD the "cross" is, then that should be news. I assumed herpes.
