Alanis Morissette used the be the poster child for angry ex-girlfriends, “You Oughta Know” is almost like an urban myth come true – an ex-girlfriend writes a nasty song about him and makes millions while he owns an emu farm in New Zealand. Emus are farmed for their meat. Those birds can run fast and are about six feet tall, I’m not sure how easy it is to catch them.
Former Full House actor Dave Coulier, the bad ex-boyfriend of the song, has spoken out about hearing it for the first time twelve years after the release. Until this point Coulier was only assumed to be the subject of the song, but I guess this means it is confirmed. Alanis says she would never tell who it was about.
Yes, Coulier dated Alanis Morissette and it looks like she talked about their breakup in her bitter song You Oughta Know. Coulier was driving when he first heard it. “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.’ I tried to contact her and I finally got a hold of her. And at the same time, the press was calling and saying, ‘You want to comment on this song?’ I called her and I said, ‘Hi. Uh, what do you want me to say?’ And she said, ‘You can say whatever you want.’ 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.’ “
It seems to me that Alanis wasn’t exactly being nice here either – manners would probably dictate that if you are going to release an angry missive onto radio about your ex-boyfriend, you could at least let him know what he was in for first. The lyrics of that song were pretty graphic too – I can only imagine Dave’s wife or mother demanding “You did WHAT in a theatre?”
Listening to her new album, I think Ryan Reynolds got off pretty lightly in comparison.
