Ironic songs....

Recommended Posts

I though it'd be interesting to see what we could come up with. sorry if it's been done before.

 

John Lennon - Life Begins At 40

 

Obviously because he was killed a few days after his 40th birthday

 

Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blues

 

Because he drowned in the Pacific Ocean. (or at least I'm pretty sure it was the pacific - i stand prepared to be corrected)

 

 

So what others can you think of?

Alanis Morriessttes examples of ironic moments in her song "Ironic" aren't actually consider ....um...Iron..i..cies...or whatever. You know what I mean.

In other words, it's ironic that her song is titled "Ironic" when it's not about irony at all

Snot -- Joyride

 

If that's the title of the 3rd track. The lead singer died in a pileup, and this song ends with his scream being cut off by the sound of squealing brakes and wrecking cars. It sends shivers.

Nirvana- "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die"- even though it's just the title.

"Englishman In New York" by Sting was ironic because he really WAS an Englishman in New York.
