| Comedian Dave Coulier, best known for his work on ABC hit family sitcom Full House, probably wanted Alanis Morissette to "cut it out" the first time he heard her venomous diddy "You Ought to Know". The actor, after years of speculation, finally admitted that he he was the inspiration for the famous rant by Morissette. Morissette at the time was only a tenneager when the two became lovers, and was outraged when Coulier dumped her for someone his own age.
Here is a sampling of the Grammy Award winning songs lyrics:
And I'm here, to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair, to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you f... her
For years, Morissette choose to keep the name of the man that she was talking about a private matter. Amongst the names people thought she could be talking about included Coulier's co-star on Full House Bob Saget, hockey star Doug Gilmour and Mike Peluso, Friends star Matt Lebanc, and Canadian music producer Leslie Howe. The story took on such a life its own that Larry David wrote a 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' episode based on the mystery surrounding the muse of the song.
The mystery has finally been solved after Coulier fessed up the Calgary Sun yesterday, telling the paper:
"I said, 'Wow, this girl is angry (when he first heard the song while driving).' And then I said, 'Oh man, I think it's Alanis,'" Coulier revealed. "I listened to the song over and over again, and I said, 'I think I have really hurt this person.'"
Coulier said that he called the Canadian songstress and patched things up between the pair soon after the songs release.
- Can you imagine that? I mean put yourself in Dave's shos for a moment you're driving in your car and this song comes on the air and you realize that the person is singing bout you. Would that not be a surreal moment?
Of all the people that the song could've ben about Dave is tbe most unlikely but yet here it is an admission of guilt. Now once we figure out who You're So Vain is about all of music's biggest mysteries wil be solved, well accept the big questions like why did the Beatles let Ringo sing songs on their records. That one is still a mystery |
