Have you ever thought about choosing an area of grammar, such as adjectives, and then identifying a song that contains several examples? Today, we will show you how you can learn many adjectives (up to 26!) through a single song: “Hand in My Pocket” by Alanis Morissette. Namely, the ease with which it allows you to learn new words, especially if you do not simply memorize the text, but carefully translate the lyrics as well.
American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox covered the song as a short cut in an early round of her Idol performances.Among the many advantages of this method, we want to emphasize one. It was also covered by alt-country band The Cowlicks on their album Psychedelic Service Station. The song has also been parodied by Amateur Transplants on the album Fitness to Practice as part of the song "Snippets". It was parodied by ' Rockin Jock' but credit for this parody, 'Trouble', is usually wrongly accredited to Billy Connolly under the title 'Evil Scotsman'. The song was covered by Rolf Harris on his 1997 album Can you tell what it is yet. While Morissette does not carry the scheme consistently throughout the song (there are, for instance, no rhymes for "hailing a taxicab" or "playing the piano"), it is, nonetheless, a fairly sophisticated literary device.
In the first chorus for example, "fine, fine, fine" is coupled with "a high five", when it should, according to traditional rhyming schemes, be instead set against the "a peace sign" which closes the third chorus, and which is in turn, coupled with a first line ending with the phrase, "a cigarette", which is a clear rhyme with the end of the second chorus: "out just yet". The chorus of "Hand in My Pocket" utilized a poetry technique, "rhyme juxtaposition" (utilized by authors such as Lewis Carroll and musicians such as Bob Dylan and John Lennon), as its primary lyrical structure, as exemplified by the off-set coupling of the first and second stanzas of each chorus. "Hand in My Pocket" served as the theme song in the unaired pilot episode of the television show Dawson's Creek, but Morissette decided not to have it used as the theme after the show was picked up. The single's video features Morissette among a homecoming parade and was filmed in black-and-white and slow motion. single, and its video premiered in July 2005 (see 2005 in music). In 2005, Morissette released Jagged Little Pill Acoustic, an acoustic version of Jagged Little Pill.
