We either had to open up this list with this one or place it at number one. In the end, we couldn’t wait to showcase it, because this is one of the most enjoyable videos and cover songs Alanis Morissette has ever produced. Of course, it was a complete goof on the music industry at the time and was aimed toward the utilization of sexually charged videos to sell music.

Nonetheless, we also have a great sense of humor as it also seems Alanis Morissette has.
