She's an actor, writer, podcaster and a Grammy-winning singer and songwriter. And now, music legend Alanis Morissette can add another area of focus to her impressive resume: professional landscaper.
Okay not really, but you'd be forgiven for thinking so after a person on Twitter shared a photo they snapped of a trailer owned by a landscaping company with an instantly recognizable name: Alanis Landscaping.
Respectfully, to the owners of the company—there is and only ever will be one Alanis and she doesn't rake leaves and trim shrubs, okay?
Anyway, when Twitter user @vegspice posted her photo of the company's trailer to the platform with a perfect Alanis-based pun, it of course caught lots of people's eyes—including those of Alanis Morissette herself.
And she in turn had an equally brilliant punny response that fans are absolutely loving. See it below.
\u201cand I\u2019m here, to remind you of the grass you left when you went away\u2026 \ud83d\ude02\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
Riffing off of Morissette's most iconic hit, "You Oughta Know," @vegspice captioned her photo, "YOU OUGHTA MOW."
Morissette herself took the whole thing to the next level, using her own lyrics to take the pun one step further:
"and I’m here, to remind you of the grass you left when you went away… 😂"
She's always been known as a prolific writer, and now we know why.
It was a fitting moment of lightheartedness given Morissette's current rise back to prominence after her 90s heyday.
Not only does Morissette have a new album that just dropped last month, but she's also on a sell-out world tour to commemorate the 25th anniversary of her iconic, boundary-breaking first album Jagged Little Pill—the 12th biggest selling album in history.
And as if that weren't enough love for that historic album, it is also the basis of a Broadway jukebox musical that won two Tonys and a Grammy last year. Suffice to say, Morissette has plenty of reasons to be yukking it up nowadays.
And on Twitter, fans were absolutely loving the singer's punny moment and many celebrated with puns of their own.
\u201c@Alanis It\u2019s not fair to deny me\nOf the shrubs and trees you would plant for me\u2026\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis Of the cross-eyed bear that you gave to me\nYou, you, you oughta know\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis I want you to mow, edge, curb, and leaf blow\nI want nothing but, the best seeds to grow\nAn older vine of ivy\nIs it organic and green\nWill you aerate the soil and back lawn?\nWill it grow perennially\nAnd is it pesticide free \nI'm sure it all will grow back next summer\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis An older version of me\nIs she pergola\u2019d like me?\nWould she go round for you with the edger?\nDoes she weed eloquently\nAnd would she plant your shade trees?\nI'm sure she'd make a really excellent ground cover.\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis got one hand in my pocket and the other on a garden rake\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis Man\u2026there was a huge wasted opportunity here on the part of those landscapers. You could\u2019ve gone w/ Alanis Mows-a-set. \nTragic. Absolutely tragic.\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis I made this a couple of years ago and it's come true! \ud83d\ude33\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis @chucktodd I\u2019m sure she\u2019d make a really excellent mulcher.\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
\u201c@Alanis The fact that Alanis herself retweeted this is just A+. Maybe Gen X is the greatest generation.\u201d— Alanis Morissette (@Alanis Morissette) 1657487745
That's it, we need a gardening-themed rewrite of the Jagged Little Pill musical called Jagged Little Till for next season. Someone get Morisette's agent on the line!
