Dave Coulier is opening up about the first time he heard “You Oughta Know,” the scathing 1995 breakup anthem Alanis Morissette is rumored to have written about him.
Coulier visited a record store to purchase Morissette's"Jagged Little Pill." He listened to the whole album in his car, stunned to hear unmistakable references to the pair's past relationship.
"And so I started listening to it and I thought, 'Ooh, I think I may have really hurt this woman.' And that was my first thought," he recalled. When the pair"reconnected" years after the song was released, Coulier asked Morissette how he should talk about their time together."I said, 'What do you want me to say when people ask me about this relationship?' And she said, 'You can say whatever you want.' So she was really sweet about it," he said."I’ll tell you the kind of person is. When my sister Sharon was dying with cancer, Alanis was living in Toronto. My sister was in Detroit.
"So one time, I was doing a red carpet somewhere and just wore me down and everybody wanted to know so I said, 'Yeah, all right, I’m the guy. There I said it.' So then it became a snowball effect of, 'OH! So you are the guy!'" he said. in December 2019, Morissette smiled when a caller wondered if she was tired of people asking if"You Oughta Know" was"about Uncle Joey from 'Full House.
