Help Identify Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" song cover by unknown 1990s indie band!
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 14 Jul 2013
I heard this hypnotic cover of "White Rabbit" in the 1990s on college radio in NJ, USA. I need help identifying the band/artist. The vibe is trippy, drawn-out, gothic and psychedelic, but modern, with alluring, kinda menacing, sly, clear, sing-talking female vocals and a squelchy, sinuous undertow of synth notes, among other instruments.
Any help in IDing this song is greatly appreciated, as its origin has been bugging me since the 1990s... Thanks! (Image drawn by me) Jen
"White Rabbit" was originally by Jefferson Airplane and sung by Grace Slick.
Lyrics:
"One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"
Oh, poor Alice...
