Alanis stated in an interview that Glen (her producer) and her were just trying to make each other laugh by the absurd lyrics.
Think about it. The irony of the song is that it is not ironic. And Alanis knows this because she asks towards the end of the song "and isn't it ironic, don't you think? A little too ironic and yeah I really do think." Anyone with half a brain knows she is making a real joke out of all of us here and we need to laugh with her.
