Alanis Morissette stopped by "The Late Late Show With James Corden" this week and refreshed the lyrics to her 1996 hit, "Ironic."

The song was so funny that Morissette let out a small giggle as they sang, "It's like singing 'Ironic' when there are no ironies."

Finally, Corden steals the show when he refuses to end the song and continues singing nonsense and takes Morissette's microphone.
