Song Stories: Raina Douris on the influence of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know”
“It’s a beautiful example of female rage.”
Voting is underway for WXPN’s 2023 Fall Countdown: the 885 Greatest Songs By Women (As chosen by YOU). As voting is quickly coming to an end, we have our World Cafe host Raina Douris tell us about the influence that Alanis Morissstte’s song “You Oughta Know” had on her.
“Not only did I listen to Jagged Little Pill to death when it came out, [‘You Oughta Know’ has] also gotten me through some real tough breakups, I’ve sung it at karaoke a million times, and it’s a beautiful example of female rage.”
Voting closes this Monday. Cast your vote before then for a chance to win two tickets to one WXPN welcomes concert per week in 2024. Tune in for countdown results starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, December 5th.
