In 1995, lower than two months after actor Dave Coulier’s hit present Full Home aired its remaining episode, the actor was shocked to listen to a music from ex Alanis Morissette. It was “You Oughta Know,” the primary hit from Morisette’s blockbuster album Jagged Little Capsule, launched in July of that yr.
“I am driving in Detroit and I’ve acquired my radio on, and I hear the hook for ‘You Oughta Know’ come on the radio,” Coulier defined on Tuesday’s episode of SiriusXM Faction Discuss, hosted by Jim Norton and Sam Roberts. “And I am like, wow, this can be a actually cool hook. After which I begin listening to the voice. I am like, wow, this lady can sing. And I had no thought, you already know, that this was the report. After which I used to be listening to the lyrics going, ‘Ooh, oh no! Oh, I am unable to be this man.'”
Coulier then went to a report retailer and acquired the CD — as one did in 1995 — so he may hearken to all of it.
“And I went and I parked on a road and I listened to the entire report. And there was plenty of acquainted stuff in there that her and I had talked about,” Coulier stated. “Like [in “Right Through you”] ‘your shake is sort of a fish.’ I would go, ‘Hey, lifeless fish me,’ and we might do that lifeless fish handshake.

Though Coulier’s lengthy stated that he’s the man Morissette sings about in “You Oughta Know,” she hasn’t confirmed it. In 2004, she instructed Howard Stern on his SiriusXM present that she plans to maintain the inspiration for the music to herself.
“Folks discuss who that music’s about, and they’ll proceed to, and I by no means, I by no means affirm or affirm who it is about, and I by no means will,” she stated. “Nicely, I say by no means, and I actually should not say by no means, trigger I could very properly at some point do it.”

“I will let you know the sort of particular person she is,” he stated. “When my sister Sharon was dying with most cancers, Alanis was residing in Toronto. My sister was in Detroit. She really drove to Detroit together with her guitar and sat with my sister enjoying songs and singing to my sister within the hospital. That is the sort of human being she is. So I’ve by no means had something unhealthy to say about her. She’s beautiful.”
