“Ironic” by Alanis Morissette, expressed in American Sign Language. [All lyrics and music are property and copyright of their owners. I am not the owner, nor do I take any credit. No copyright infringement intended.] After discovering the sign for “ironic” and seeing what a crappy video the other one is, i decided to sign it again. 🙂 so, enjoy! 🙂 Lyrics: An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay It’s a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn’t it ironic … don’t you think Chorus It’s like rain on your wedding day It’s a free ride when you’ve already paid It’s the good advice that you just didn’t take Who would’ve thought … it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought ‘Well isn’t this nice…’ And isn’t it ironic … don’t you think Repeat Chorus Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up In your face It’s a traffic jam when you’re already late It’s a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It’s meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think A little too ironic… and yeah I ….

this is just wonderful
haha thx for teach me new sign word for “ironic” and ur music sign is awesome…
The last sign u signed what is it?
This video is my fave!
I love the emotion on your face when you sign (:
I’m getting better at that now thank goodness.
Excellent! One of my fave songs & love ASL. I sign more “PSE” as an interpreter.
The lyrics in the song also talk about “Mr. Play it safe -afraid to fly”…
and that is ironic because the person who was the most cautious happened to be the victim of a plane crash…….while those who fly on a regular basis, not exercising caution, who would be most likely to suffer a plane crash….did not.
very well done overall. keep up the good work… just one tiny suggestion… you’re timing could be a little bit better… other than that it was superb… mad props
Wow this is nice
🙂 it was awesome, but you accidentally said old woman hehe. Not old man.
do you think you could do a song by train
where did you learn sign language?
wow…so sweet…i think i know some sign language now; many thanks!!!!!
You understood the meaning, therefore it was correct. That’s be beauty of sign, signs are visual representations of conceptual ideals, rather than written words. So long as the message is conveyed effectively, it is correct. If you understood it well enough to correct her on it, she was right in her signing.
Thank you for the captions on the bottom of the screen. I can’t do ASL but love to watch your videos.
normally i comment peoples videos for them being stupid people with no lives just being ridiculous and posting stupid stuff……..however you’re video is probably the best video i’ve seen in a while and this song also happens to be one of my favorites keep up the good work you rock!
