Alanis Morrisette's song "Ironic"? Actually, the song has no examples of irony. They are just examples of things that suck. However, because the song title is "Ironic" and actually contains no example of irony, the song itself is ironic. The contents are the opposite of what you expect it to be about.
examples of irony :
a. my dad will be so happy if he will see my card in vibrant colors
b. its so nice of you to read my letters without asking my permission
c you're so beautiful you look like my grandmother's feet
d. i lost my purse , this is my lucky day
---- == == some examples are i know that i know nothing
But now consider that everyone in the room - except the boss - knows that the employee has a dog named Einstein, and that dog was the real intent of of the employee's named reference. This would be exquisitely ironic, because the boss would truly believe the employee's statement to be high praise, whereas everyone else would understand the statement for the ribald insult it was meant to be.

3. A fisherman who is allergic to fish.
4. An antislavery person who owns slaves (that would have been back in the time of the civil war)
5. A race horse that can't run fast at all.
It's ironic that most sentences beginning "It's ironic that ..." are not ironic. Like that one.

Irony is the opposite of its literal meaning. An example of an ironic ad is the ad for asbestos in 1981. It says "When life depends on it, you use asbestos". As we all know asbestos causes cancer so that is pretty ironic.

A non-example of irony could be a straightforward statement or situation where there is no contrast between what is expected and what actually happens, such as stating the sky is blue on a clear day.
A person who claims to be vegan but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza is a great example of irony. Another example is a cop who gets arrested for breaking the law.

An example of irony in song lyrics would be the song Ironic by Alanis Morissette. This song is an example of irony because although Morissette sings about all of these supposed ironic things, none of them are ironic, they're all just bad luck.
