Alanis Morissette's hit breakup song, "You Oughta Know," is written about actor Dave Coulier.

For nearly two decades, there had been widespread speculation regarding the subject of the iconic track from Morissette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill. In 2013, Dave Coulier, widely recognized for his role as goofy "Uncle Joey" from the popular sitcom Full House, officially confirmed that he was indeed the individual behind the powerful lyrics.

This revelation brought an end to years of public guessing, solidifying Coulier's connection to one of the most famous breakup anthems of the 90s.
