Rain on your wedding day isn't, in itself, ironic - BUT a song titled "Ironic" getting the very concept of irony wrong, that is the very core of irony, so... well done. - eviltoast

    As others have pointed out - there are plenty of things in the song that actually are ironic. So what’s ironic is people keep complaining about the lack of irony in a song called “Ironic” when it’s actually got irony in it.

      I forget who it’s from, but this attitude reminds me of the quote: “Most of the ingredients in this soup aren’t even turds, so what are people complaining about?”
