From the lyrical content of Alanis Morissette's songs throughout her career, you would never see this coming. The cover Alanis made of My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas? Bet y'all did not see that coming!

And with reason as well! It's not usual to hear Alanis Morissette croon such a cover, let alone see her in a video that seems quite the spoof of the very video done by the Black Eyed Peas.

And if you're an avid Alanis fan, you will certainly agree on this. Take her massive album Jagged Little Pill way back in 1995, for example. The lyrics of her songs back then were very emotional and introspective. And it was this album that propelled Alanis into stardom, in spite of the fact that it was already her 3rd album chronologically speaking.

The carrier single for the album was You Oughta Know, which was literally laden with angst-ridden lyrics. The song discusses a recent breakup that is presumably experienced by Alanis. The lyrics suggest how bitter Alanis feels over the breakup, especially with how "quickly she was replaced".

Yes, the lyrics may have been bitter, but the song itself shot to stardom, and brought more attention to her following hits from the same album. These hits include the ever popular, Ironic, which went on to become the most successful single off the album. It scaled the charts so fast that it took the top spot on a number of US Billboard charts!

And its chart performance isn't the only thing that made Ironic the success that it is right now. Its catchy lyrics discussing the ironies of life make Ironic the most unforgettable song Alanis has ever made.

Not that Alanis didn't made successful tracks after Ironic! You Learn, Hand in My Pocket, and Head Over Feet, both off Jagged Little Pill, also had their fair share of the limelight. The introspective lyrics of You Learn and Hand in My Pocket make the tracks very appealing. And the romantic lyrics of Head Over Feet? They took the track to a whole new level for Alanis!

Another Alanis song fans worldwide hold close to their hearts is Uninvited. Alanis composed Uninvited for the hit drama City of Angels, starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Although the lyrics to Uninvited were somehow sad, the track still went on to become very huge on the charts.

Other huge Alanis tracks are Everything and Crazy, off the albums So-Called Chaos and The Collection respectively. And the mp3 versions of all Alanis tracks have also scored high on the digital download charts. In fact, these mp3 tracks have garnered the top spot quite often as well.

So, why the sudden decision to make a cover of the Black Eyed Peas' hit My Humps? No definite reason has been offered to support this decision. But millions upon millions of viewers have checked out the video of the spoof on the web ever since it came out. And people are quite taken by the spoof! It just shows how versatile Alanis Morissette is as an actress. This also goes to show that the once angst-ridden musician does have a sense of humor. And it's really nice how she manages to flaunt that really well in My Humps! And it's really quite a good comeback for Alanis, considering that she is now working on her next album. She surely grabbed the attention of fans worldwide with this spoof cover! Now, she won't have to worry about attention when her next installment comes out! Way to go, Alanis! This is definitely the way to do it!
