Alanis Morrisette ‘My Humps’ video

OK, Alanis Morrisette is clearly available.

Sidestepping whatever else she was up to – because seriously, what else has she been doing lately? – Morrisette puts herself back on the map with one of the most outrageous April Fools’ Day jokes of all time.

In quite possibly the quickest cover turnaround in music history, Morrisette, for whatever reason, decided it would be a good idea to parody the Black Eyed Peas’ ‘My Humps’ from November 2005.

Matching the Black Eyed Peas’ lead singer Fergie, with the same bangs, skin-tight clothing and, you guessed it, lots and lots of dry humping, it appears Morrisette was born to make the parody, instead of hiding herself from the mainstream since her debut album in 1995.

As for the video, it’s an absolute sensation on YouTube. Since premiering on April 2, the video has been watched more than 1.6 million times, ranking No. 1 in hits from the past seven days and in the top 10 from the past 30 days.

Morissette, you, without a doubt, have taken the spotlight from Weird Al Yankovic.

I can’t believe I just typed that sentence. This is just bizarre.
