Alanis Morissette Invites Muna Onstage to Sing ‘Ironic’

Alanis Morissette sang her 1995 hit 'Ironic' with Muna at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago on Sunday.

“I’m going to need some help singing the beginning of ‘Ironic’ tonight,” Morissette said toward the end of her headlining set on the third night of the Pitchfork Music Festival, which brought fans to Chicago’s Union Park this weekend. Muna performed on the same stage earlier that day and gave Morissette a shout-out during their set, and sure enough, Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson came out on cue. Gavin duetted with Morissette on the song’s opening lyrics: “An old man turned 98/He won the lottery and died the next day/It’s a black fly in your Chardonnay/It’s a death-row pardon two minutes too late.”
