Gary and I were in the car yesterday, and we popped Jagged Little Pill in to the CD player.
When I sing along with Alanis Morissette I always find myself caterwauling to excess. (“And you say, how-we-ow-we-ow apprrrrroooooprrrrrrrrrr-eeee-iate.”) So, I was doing that.
Earlier, Gary had been doing some drive-yelling and swiched to Henrietta Pussycat mode, so he was meowing.
The two morphed into a new game. You sing along with Alanis, but you replace all the words with a meow. (A one syllable “meow.” More like “Myow.”) So, “I want you to know” Becomes “Myow. Myow. Myow myow myow.” Then in the more emotional parts you do actual caterwauling. “And I’m here, to remind you” becomes “Mroooow mreee mROOW, mew MrOOOW MAAAAAAA=aaaa-ooooooOW.”
We call it Alanis Meowrissette.
