Alanis Morisette Finally Explains My Humps (Video)
Alanis Morissette has previously avoided explaining why she covered the Black Eyed Peas song 'My Humps' last year, however, with her new album being released she has finally provided an answer.
The song and it's accompanying video has become a YouTube sensation with over 15 million views of her piano driven version of the hit track.
Discussing the reason behind the cover and the rumors surrounding it, Morissette tells The Advocate, "There are 15 different interpretations, and they’re all true. Some of it is me not being precious at all. I was in the studio with Guy Sigsworth and he would say, “What horse from the apocalypse are you bringing in today, Alanis?” Because every song was this tsunami of emotions. So I said, “I wish I could just write a really simple song—a song like ‘My Humps.’ ” Then we had a pregnant pause, looked at each other, and said, “All right, let’s do it!” Within moments we were recording the piano version of it, and within a week we were shooting the video in my garage here at my house. However it’s been interpreted has been entertaining for me to watch."
Morissettes's new album, 'Flavors of Entanglemen', is out now and watch the 'My Humps' video below.

Creed emerged from a good-sized pack of post-grunge contenders to suit one of the biggest-selling rock bands in America during the late '90s. At a time when many other Seattle disciples were relapse into inactivity or experimenting with less commercially established sounds, Creed carried the flashlight of straightforward, raunchy hard rock-and-roll without excuse, and they were fully rewarded, selling millions upon millions of albums in just a few years' meter. That success didn't transform into critical applaud; most reviewers slammed their medicine as derivative and formulaic, and their lookout as unrelentingly, stiflingly serious (which got at the very qualities that made the banding so popular). Based on their often ghostlike lyrics, some observers lumped them in with a newfangled breed of alternative-styled Christian bands that had begun crossroad over to the mainstream; however, Creed well-tried to distance themselves from existence pigeonholed as an solely religious band out to convert their listeners. Neither critical ridicule nor a potency secular rebound could jump the band, however, and they went into the new millenary as a apparently unstoppable commercial jagannatha.
Credo was formed in 1995 in Tallahassee, FL, by singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti, world Health Organization had been friends in high schooling just initially went their break up shipway. Stapp had been perusal law of nature at Florida State University, simply eventually dropped tabu to act on music, a decision that lED to conflict with his anti-rock & wind parents (his church Father was a Pentecostal minister). Stapp and Tremonti began writing songs together, many of which athwart addressed themes of Christian church property, and added a regular recurrence section consisting of bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips. As an substitute to the band's original refer (Bare Toddler), Marshall suggested the appoint Creed, having played in some other band dubbed Mattox Creed. Creed soon went on to form their possess label, Blue Collar, and entered the studio with producer John Kurzweg in 1997 to record their low record album, My Own Prison. Initially self-released in a limited run, My Own Prison was picked up by Wind-Up Records -- a newcomer impression with statistical distribution through Sony -- and remixed to give it a heavier, more radio-friendly puncher. And it worked. Given major-label vulnerability, My Own Prison spun off no less than quaternion number one singles -- "My Own Prison," "Lacerate," "What's This Life For," and "One" -- on Billboard's mainstream rock wireless charts over the following year, fashioning Creed the first band to fulfill the exploit with its debut album. My Own Prison sold like hotcakes, moving over v gazillion copies over the future mates of years contempt short MTV vulnerability or media reporting.
Credo had a great deal of competition in the post-grunge sweepstakes at the time, and it remained to be seen whether they had whatever staying baron, or were simply fortunate one-album wonders (like some of their peers turned verboten to be). When they issued their follow-up, Human Clay, in the fall of 1999, My Own Prison was inactive on the charts and merchandising creditably well. Human Clay turned out to be a blockbuster, not only when entering the charts at number one (much to many observers' surprise), only marketing a whopping decade one thousand thousand copies over the next two age. The first individual, "Higher," exhausted a record-breaking 17 weeks at number one on rock wireless, and when their next two singles, "What If" and "With Arms Wide Open," topped the chart as comfortably, it gave the band sevener straight rock-radio number ones -- another record. "With Arms Wide Open" besides gave Creed their first numeral 1 pop strike, and later won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.
During the summer of 2000, Creed bassist Brian Marshall made headlines for criticizing Pearl Jam's recent songwriting style during a wireless interview; he by and by apologized, and Stapp distanced the breathe of the isthmus from Marshall's comments on Creed's website. A couple of months afterwards, just ahead the official start of the band's American spell, it was announced that Marshall was no longer a member of Creed. He was replaced for the spell by Brett Hestla (besides of Virgos Merlot), and later formed a new band called Grand Luxx with his honest-to-goodness Mattox Creed bandmates. The same summer, Stapp was goaded into a brief media feud with Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, wHO launched into a profane philippic against Stapp at a summer rock-radio festival both bands were playing. Although Stapp later blamed Durst's clientele maneuver (as elderly VP at Interscope), saying they stemmed from a "mobster mental capacity," things didn't take long to settle down. The circle worked on its new album over often of 2001; although Hestla remained in the touring lineup, Tremonti chose to treat the bass parts on the track record, safekeeping things gloomy to just the longtime core. Weatherworn was released in November 2001, and non only entered the charts at number unitary, merely even a record (among number one debuts) by left over at that place for eight-spot straight weeks; during that two-month time, it sold a astonishing five million copies. The first individual, "My Sacrifice," was a Top Five protrude hit, likewise outlay baseball club weeks on top of the rock-radio charts. Follow-up "Bullets," one of the band's heaviest songs yet, wasn't as successful, only "One Last Breath" climbed the charts promptly behind it.
In April 2002, Stapp was mired in a car stroke and suffered a concussion and vertebrae damage. Creed ab initio canceled the rest of their supporting turn, merely fortunately, Stapp recovered speedily sufficiency to allow the band to reschedule nigh of the shows for summer. After months of conjecture, Wind-Up officially announced the breakup of Creed in June 2004. Over closely a x, the ring sold all over 30 jillion albums world-wide and became one of the biggest touring draws of the 1990s. Founding members Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall went on to form Alter Bridge with ex-Mayfield Four frontman Myles Kennedy. Plans for a Scott Stapp solo record, which had included a aggregation of songs inspired by Mel Gibson's Mania of the Christ, eventually came to fruition with the tone ending of The Great Divide in November 2005, a back-to-basics rock record.
