“Ironic” in ASL (old)


“Ironic” by Alanis Morrisette, expressed in American Sign Language. [All lyrics and music are property and copyright of Alanis Morrisette. I am not the owner, nor do I take any credit.

  1. Sorry, you signed ironic wrong. I’m not very excellent at English, but I try my best…Have both of your hands in the shape of “Longhorn” gesture and cross them over at the level of your nose. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?
