I have to wonder if anyone involved in that album - the producer, the audio engineer, the kid who changes the guitar strings - anyone - thought to stop her and say, “Hey, this is the incorrect use of the word, you’re setting yourself up for decades of ridicule.” Like, did they not know either? Were they all afraid of her?
Though…the meta aspect of this is that a song called “Ironic” that misuses the word is actually…kinda ironic. Maybe that was the real artistry at work and we all just missed it. 🤷🏻
I bet if They Might Be Giants wrote the song more people would get the joke.
All these years later they're still missing the joke, but they're still talking about it. That's some kind of consolation prize.
