(This family is also variously called Myoxidae or Muscardinidae by different taxonomists). (see wikipedia) 2) the line 'remember what the dormouse said' is directly from alice in wonderland in chapter 11 (who stole my tarts) where the jury asks "but what did the dormouse say?" to which the mad hatter replied "that i can't remember" - although most assume that these were merely "drug based hallucinations" there is a politically charged message in many of the 60's songs - i'm sure with your combined intellect of less than status quo you should be able to come up with some "anti establishment" theory that would be just as good as the next 3) lewis carroll did not use hallucinogenic drugs, no not lsd or mushrooms - he had a condition known as micropsia (and/or macropsia) which manifests itself in a perceptual change where something small can appear large, or something large may appear small. do some research - knowledge is power and always remember what the dormouse said Me2, yogman | Reviewer: christine | 2/15/08 Its from the game trailer 'lost odyssey' that is where i got it from as well, i love alice in wonderland so it's totally great!!! now its stuck in my head and on myspace profile as my main song. woot! hmmmmmm | Reviewer: asdffdsa | 2/14/08 it is "doormouse" at the end instead of "doorknob" (and there was a doorknob character, comon bro how could you not remember?), and the "Feed your head", is correct, im not sure how the other reviewer gets "Keep your head", out of that... Haught-Ashbury Culture | Reviewer: Ky. Colonel | 2/14/08 The 60"s were a time when hallucinogenic drugs were thought to be the door to expansion of your mind. White Rabbit refers to the ability of these drugs to expand or contract your mind into the fairy tale realms such as those described in Alice in Wonderland. Relationship of the song to Lewis Carroll is to miss the point. The epicenter of hallucinogenic drug use was in the Haught-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where many fairy tale things were thought possible if the proper chemicals were ingested. get the facts on Alice. | Reviewer: Peggyattheshore | 2/13/08 this person writes...No way to LSD | Reviewer: Colikar | 4/6/2007 To however believes that Charles Dodgson took LSD while writing any of the Alice stories is completely wrong. The chemical LSD was not even synthesized until 1938, 40 years after Dodgson died. HOWEVER..... now, I am almost positive that it Lewis Carrol that wrote Alice in Wonderland and there was NO LSD then. He suffered from migraines that somehow made him halucinate. wow | Reviewer: yogman | 2/7/08 Lol i heard this song, on a commercial for A VIDEO GAME, so i go on youtube, in order to find what the hell this songs name was, and someone commented white rabbit, so i download it, at first, i thouhgt it was in a different language, but then i interpreted the some sort of mushroom, then KNEW it was about drugs, so here i am, listening to the looping song, but before i even read the lyrics, i didnt even know what the singer was saying,... now i can hear all the lyrics.. What an amazing song mistake | Reviewer: Alice | 2/10/08 In the last but one line is a mistake. Door knob = dormouse :) You should correct that, because dormouse is one of the wonderland's characters and there is no such thing as door knob in this song. lsd truth | Reviewer: nick | 2/7/08 First LSD was synthesized in 1938 by Albert Hoffman and didnt realize its effect until 1942.Althouh LSD is made from ERGOT a fungus that grows on rye which is highly psycodelic and used for thousands of years.So it is possible that he ingested ergot which is just like lsd but he definatly could took mushrooms,pot and mescaline which is very simmaler to lsd and was synthesized in the 1800ds.Many great minds of the time used it. Keep Your Head | Reviewer: Tom Teates | 2/7/08 The song ends with "keep your head" and not "feed your head". It comes from Alice and Wonderland and is a play on words about keeping one's head from getting chopped off by the Queen and a sixties drug expression about keeping high....keeping your head. awesome song | Reviewer: john | 2/9/08 the thing that gets me is the reference to the song in fear and loathing in las vegas. "I want you to throw this radion into the tub with me when white rabbit peaks" the song is obviously about drugs. the book is not. Lewis Carol lived before LSD was invented though he was addicted to absinthe and opium as many of the people of that time were. he wrote the story for a freinds daughter whose name was alice liddel. the entire story was created off the top of his head in spoken form to alice and her sister while they were riding a boat across a lake. as the story was spontaneous and was told to 2 little children it is highly unlikely that what people interpret as drug references was indeed such. btw hookahs were for smoking tobbacco long before they were used before anything else.
