Alanis is God.

April 3, 2007 by Amy

Or, at least she was in Kevin Smith’s Dogma. I remember questioning that casting decision until I saw the film and I was utterly smitten with her portrayal. A fun God, one that enjoys headstands and such and only smites when necessary. I should have gathered more from that moment about Alanis Morissette’s sense of humor then — but her remake of Fergie’s “My Humps” just solidified my perception of her as a really cool chick that I’d love to hang out with. No wonder Ryan Reynolds can’t keep away.

See, I hate “My Humps.” A lot. As anyone even remotely busty can tell you, we don’t walk around calling our breasts “humps” or “our lovely lady lumps.” I still have no idea how the hell that song infiltrated the airwaves with its moronic lyrics and even worse video.

However, I utterly adore Alanis’ cover. Her voice has this way of illustrating the inanity of each lyric, her video mocks the ridiculousness of each bend-over, booty shake. As Pitchfork mentioned — Morissette can barely keep a straight face in this quick, one-off video, so we’re happy to see that she’s in on the joke from the beginning.

PopGurls for Thought

The Big Love Scene at the Bar. Rod tells Kevin that he can empathize with what Kevin fells for Abbey: “You want something so bad it hurts. I just admire your passion, Kev.” Rod then pulls out a cassette tape and pushes it in front of Kevin. “You inspired me to write this. And, uh, I figured if you could put yourself on the line to find that girl, I could do the same.” The song “Falling” swells in the background. Rod touches Kevin on the shoulder and leaves, while Kevin looks lingeringly after him. U.S.: Yeah, okay. It’s all pretty much just text, there. Melynee, Amy
