Jimmy Fallon, Alanis Morissette, Meghan Trainor form a supergroup to cluck '90s hit 'Ironic'


The Alanis Morissette album Jagged Little Pill turned 20 this year — in case you weren't feeling old enough, Gen Xers — and so for some reason Morissette agreed to dress up like a chicken with Meghan Trainor (who was 2 when the album came out) and Jimmy Fallon to perform her hit "Ironic," singing only the word "cluck." The feathered supergroup, cutely dubbed the Jagged Little Chicks, made its debut on Tuesday's Tonight Show. You may or may not find yourself clucking along, but you should at least appreciate the amount of nuance that can fit into one little animal sound. Peter Weber
