Music video: when and where?

I'd like to know, if there are any authoritative or reputable sources about where the music video was filmed, and when exactly. -Mardus /talk 23:16, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The irony of "Ironic"

While none of the examples are really irony in the song, that fact makes the name of the song ironic in itself. All the "irony" is mostly coincidences. Since you're expecting irony but instead get coincidences, the song is an example of situational irony. 66.10.78.114 (talk) 16:53, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-== Explanation of the irony problem ==
-Surprisingly bad explanation of how the song is not ironic, since it only includes a definition of "verbal irony." I agree that most of the lyrics are not ironic, but this explanation is terrible. I can't believe this article has been cited as exemplary.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/65.69.204.131|65.69.204.131]] ([[User talk:65.69.204.131|talk]]) 15:14, 15 April 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
