Retro Video of the Week: "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette

I forgot about Retro Video of the Week last week, so forgive me.  Given that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I figured a thankful song would be appropriate.  Even though it didn't make my list of Top Ten "Thank You" Songs, Alanis Morissette's 1998 hit "Thank U" certainly fits the Retro Video of the Week parameters as well as the theme of thanks.

"Thank U" was the lead single from Morissette's 1998 album Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, the follow-up to the monster Jagged Little Pill.  The song was her fifth #1 song in her native Canada.  It also reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 (her fourth Top 20 song in the U.S.), as well as the Top 10 on twelve other pop singles charts around the world.

The video is memorable because it features a nude Morissette, whose long hair covering her tatas is presumably the only thing that prevented the video from being banned by MTV or other music video channels.

This year, I'm thankful that my friends and family believe in science, recognize the very real threat of COVID-19, and take the necessary precautions to avoid contracting or spreading the virus, like social distancing, quarantining, wearing masks, and not having huge Thanksgiving gatherings (or other indoor gatherings at all, for that matter).
