@@domeshine69 😵That's what I always have heard, but never really researched to try to find if it's true, it's prolly so, too much in that story going on & too crazy not to be someone's real life experience! Lol Is it weird that I hope it was written from a true life experience on hallucinations from acid or 🍄's?! It just seems more interesting & fun that way....I should find time to read the original book, I Love The Wonderland movies tho! I actually collect stuff from Alice! Lol😀 ☮️🎶🎸☮️🎶🎸☮️🎶
"Alice in Wonderland" written by Lewis Carrol. A children's book, but it's thought Carrol was tripping balls when he wrote it. Drugs in his time were... intense. ;)
Well, that's because he was. He suffered horrendous migraines so he took the drugs in his effort to combat them. Not saying it helped (he may have thought it did at the time), but I get migraines and I understand his desire to try and stop them. Opium might not have been the best choice though lol
Grace Slick's voice was labeled as "the voice that launched a thousand trips." Her nickname was the Acid Queen. She's still as badass now at 81 as she was back then😌 So glad you finally did JA, can't wait to see what else you listen to by them😄 I'm sure you'll do Somebody to Love, I also recommend Eskimo Blue Day, my favorite😍 I also recommend watching Alice in Wonderland, the original Disney one from the 50s, it's been my favorite Disney movie since I was a kid (says a lot about me as an adult😂) and it's honestly trippy af
I turned him onto it after i seen he did Starship which was week compared to their late 60s and 70s song!! Then they sold out and had to change with tye 80s to stay afloat lol!
I’m so glad you mentioned her voice. So many reactions only focus on the lyrics & I don’t think they appreciate her voice…which to me is the most important : )
I was wondering if anybody would reference this. Her finding food and drink appropriately labeled "Eat me" and "Drink Me"....Eat me, Drink me also being the name of a Marilyn Manson album. O_O
Everybody should take mushrooms at least once in their life! Safer than any other hallucinogenic. You owe it to yourself to get a glimpse of the universal plan! 🍄
I got in trouble at Disneyland once because I was super stoned and touched the hookah on the Alice ride. They didn't stop the ride, but gave me a very stern talking to.
I don’t know if you realize this or not or if anyone else has commented but this is the group that became starship in the 80s and you reacted to one of their videos a day or two ago called "nothings gonna stop us now." Same woman singing believe it or not. Two very different decades. Grace slick is amazing
Yes, I love the music from Jefferson Starship!! They really had great music 🎶. They were so much better when they created music under their new name...
@@ginabridges2209 No the main band is not the same.Jorma Kaukonen (lead guitar) and Jack Casady (base) left the band in 1972 and formed Hot Tuna. That is why the others changed the name to Jefferson Starship. The music was never the same after that. They became a pop band when before they were an amazing rock band. The mainstay was the amazing Grace Slick.
Released in the loved-up summer of 67, its heavy allusions to the altered states in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, along with its exhortations to ‘feed your head’, seemed to invite a whole new generation to trip out on the pleasures of psychedelics. For those for whom love, peace and LSD were inseparable, it became an anthem. “It was timely for the era,” Airplane founder Marty Balin admitted years later. “The myth, the idea, the acid.”
I remember in the 1970s there was a made for TV movie based on a book called “Go Ask Alice.“ All about a teenage girl who starts taking drugs… Everybody watched that movie.
Now you're talking!! This is psychedelic rock at it's best. Their song takes a new look at Alice In Wonderland. Grace Slicks vocals are hypnotic!! You are right on!!✌Groovy man.💚
@@korilazarus6652 Yeah, I disagree. Have you listened to Jess and the Ancient Ones? I’ve listened to the Grateful Dead and was not a fan-they’re not as good as Jefferson Airplane. Jess and the Ancient Ones are the best. Even better because they’re so underrated-they’re not one of those bands that gets talked up all the time but isn’t actually good ;)
Grace Slick was the 2nd Jefferson Airplane female singer and she just took over the band. Still going strong, now days she paints and from what I've seen she's damn good. Hasn't performed in years, says she's not interested being an old broad on stage singing old songs!
Thanks for the laugh, you were hilarious in this reaction! I forget people your age aren’t familiar with Grace Slick and her unique voice , Jefferson Airplane which became Jefferson Starship. This is a drugged up version of Alice in wonderland. This was 1967. I was 7 years old and remember hearing it on the radio and my older brother playing it. This was the “hippie” days. When I was older I listened to it all the time, very famous song.
The reference to drugs is so strong in this song it’s amazing they were able to escape the censorship in those days ! I guess they didn’t make the connection 🤣✌🏻
Probably closer to an acid trip than mushrooms. Like that time my friend turned into Mayor McCheese. Ps - the book Go Ask Alice was written years after this song, this Alice is Alice in Wonderland
This song is one of the 1st to sneak drug references into their music and get it played on the radio in the'60s. It's about experimenting with drugs and expanding your mind. This is the kind of music I grew up listening to. 💗
I love that you were so hypnotized. That's the right reaction. Think about the Matrix red pill and blue pill, follow the rabbit. This is where they were refrencing, Alice in Wonderland going down the rabbit hole. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤
Back in the late 70s in college we did mushrooms and blotter acid many many times. I'm 66 today and I still say doing acid was one of the best things in my life. That, and Dark Side Of The Moon. And cannabis.
Knew you was gonna do this one. This is psychedelic jam at it's best. Takes you straight to the decade in came from instantly. You in The Age of Aquarius now my dude. Requires more than one sitting for this one.
We were 17 (my class) and music like this in the summer of '67 was the rage. Psychedelic music was the "norm". From Jimi Hendrix to Janis Joplin to Grateful Dead to the Beatles...everybody was doing it. Fluorescent black lites &posters, lava lamps and "grass" took us to that next level. U, lighting up, with this song on, were half-way there. Gotta getcha the black lite & posters. U feel high just looking at them...add the music and ur there. Btw, good job. Just subscribed!!
This group was one of the biggest acts on Woodstock 1969. They were high as f on acid when performing, which they did together with Jimi Hendrix just before going on stage. You should look up their woodstock act on youtube.
I grew up in Phoenix in the 70s...we use to eat the peyote from the cactus!! We would have huge boondockers out in the middle of the desert with live bands and kegs of beer!! Damn I had a great teenager life!!
Grace Slick brought this song and "Somebody to Love" when she left Grace Slick and The Great Society. They did a longer version of this song. I love Grace Slick, especially her songs "Two Heads", "Rejoyce", and "Hyperdrive". She also did 4 solo albums. This song got by the censors because they thought it was about Alice in Wonderland. It was but it was also a cover for the drug culture.
Thanks for reacting to this trip. That's what this one is. A total trip. About Alice in Wonderlands, dropping acid and taking shrooms and hanging with a hookah smoking catepillar. The song all culminates into the last line, which was Timothy Leary's big thing "Feed Your Head". This one is just a polar opposite to what she did with Starship which you reacted to yesterday. Anyway, last thought. You mentioned iconic voices like Stevie Nicks. Stevie cites Grace Slick as one of her main inspirations in music. I think your read for some Janis Joplin. You're ready to fall in love with that Southern Comfort drinking blues singing wild child.
This psychedelic lights behind the band is something that we did back in the late 60's/70's . Before there were music videos... it was the hip thing back then. Many times the light show was moving to the beat of the song. As you watch more of these older bands, keep an eye on the light shows, they were art all in themselves reminiscent of acid trips. "Trippin' from days gone by! Grace Slick is one of my fav female singers! YOU are my favorite reactor! HUGS!
I moved into a house in Bolinas, CA in 1978 that Jefferson Airplane had lived in. It is still called the Airplane House at 99 Brighton in Bollinas. The day I moved in a went to use the bathroom and the gold record to this single was glued to the bottom of the toilet cover.
IT IS A TRIP ON THE “STORY OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND” BABY! L💜VE YOUR REACTION PRICELESS! IMAGINE BEING 5yrs AND SEEING AND HEARING THIS! ITS A TRIP🔮💗🦋👁🕊🙀😬🙄🎩🐰🐇🐇
Gotta do “Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In” from The Fifth Dimension next Mr. Video! It starts out trippy (not as much as WR though) then gets an almost gospel feel for the second part. You’ll be up dancing and singing along!! It’s Brilliant!
Grace wrote and performed this song and "Somebody To Love" in San Francisco in the 60's when drugs were All legal. This is a takeoff from the children's storybook "Alice In Wonderland". She has one of the best voices in rock. At this time there were two guys in the band that could also sing lead. These two songs really were the stepping stone to making this band soar to stardom. I love your channel. One of the verry, very best of all the reactors online today.
Priceless reaction! Totally cracked me up, watching as you realize what this little song is all about! If you can remember that era, you probably wasn't really there! :)
One of the most profound songs ever written.... I'm glad you have discovered it.. I think you would enjoy the depth of el condor pasa -by Simon and Garfunkel. "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail" meaning I would rather have impact on others rather than being pushed upon .
If you watch or remember Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland” then hear the song again, you’ll notice: “One pill makes you smaller” “One pill makes you larger” “A hookah smoking caterpillar” “If you go chasing rabbits” “The men on the chess board” “The red queen’s off with her head” You might think the song is innocently referring to “Alice in Wonderland” Then think of how brilliant Jefferson Airplane was in hiding drug references: “One pill” + “One pill”= pills that either get you high or down; that’s why “the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all” “Tell ‘em a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call”= shoutout that someone called you and referred you to the drug scene “And if you go chasing rabbits”= sounds like 60’s reference to go ‘chasing the dragon’, which was opium “The men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go”= the cops telling you what to do after they’ve arrested you for doing drugs “And the red queen’s off with her head”=when you do drugs, you’re 'outta your mind’ I’ve never done drugs, but I grew up in a neighborhood in Los Angeles surrounded by gangsters, drug dealers, hookers, and hippies. That’s how I know most of these references.
Now that you've entered psychedelia, you need to listen to "Inagaddadavida" by Iron Butterfly. It's practically the druggies' national anthem. Also, best drum solo ever.
Cat Cassie I believe Grace's lyrics are a bit more soothing and 'welcoming' at the Woodstock show... Sort of interesting. --Or, "amazing", considering it was a live recording. Wasn't it even a morning show? :-)
@@HappyValleyDreamin Thanks! I only know from watching documentaries.... I was actually born that year! :-D (Adopted at birth from a young mother... I always had a fantasy that I may have actually been conceived at the great rock and arts festival!) :-D
@@HappyValleyDreamin When I was a teenager, at college, I was going home with a number of women as old as my biological mother.... A later girlfriend of mine used to tease me --"Do you realize how many times you may have come close to 'making it' with your own mother!?" :-D
One of my first concerts was Jefferson Airplane and the person I was with, my best friend at the time, our goal was to make Grace Slick react to us... So we jumped from the second floor and hung from the railing... Grace looked at us like you are crazy.... Mission accomplished😝😂😂
Dont listen to ANY other directions... Find a song its called Alice's Restaurant. Arlo Guthrie did it. And his dad was a famous folk rock singer. I got the songbook for this song and if i see ya anywhere near Alice...i'll hafta send you this book. Theres some 5by7 glossy photographs involved,with writing on the back... And you can get ANYTHING you want...at Alice's Restaurant...!😂😂😂😂😁
LEO!! Love ya brother!! Brilliantly simple way to describe the Devastating power of the human voice. Very sharp. Come on out to the mountains and we'll Shroom A Zoom Zoom and Boom Boom!!
I used to go out & party with my Mom. She's not the average Mom. She has friends in bands & it seemed like every bar we went to with a band she knew, they would play White Rabbit & have her sing it. I HATED this song with a passion! Eventually though, I came to think of my Mom whenever I heard this song so now I love it! It makes me smile thinking back on all the good times we had together.
Grace Slick is amazing singer! Also give their song "Somebody to love" a try. :) And for comparison, check out their live version of this song from Woodstock (the real one from 1969). Also it's never too early! They started their Woodstock set on 8 AM on Sunday morning. x)
I used to watch the Smothers Brothers show that this video came from. Probably saw this performance. That was a long time ago! Iconic psychedelic music! 👍

I've recommended this song, too. The bridge between the two songs is dope! Love 5th dimension!!!
YES!!
Definitely
YES!
MR. VIDEO Pulled RABBIT OUT HIS HAT... TAAAADAAAAHHH🐰🐰🐰🐰🐇🐇🐇
I absolutely loved your reaction to this song. I love this song so much. Thank you for posting it!
Grace wrote and performed this song and "Somebody To Love" in San Francisco in the 60's when drugs were All legal. This is a takeoff from the children's storybook "Alice In Wonderland". She has one of the best voices in rock. At this time there were two guys in the band that could also sing lead. These two songs really were the stepping stone to making this band soar to stardom. I love your channel. One of the verry, very best of all the reactors online today.
This era was when everything was copacetic...
Priceless reaction! Totally cracked me up, watching as you realize what this little song is all about! If you can remember that era, you probably wasn't really there! :)
This song is inspiration for the "Caterpillar on the mushroom smoking a toke" drawing my hubby did that I sent you 😯
One of the most profound songs ever written.... I'm glad you have discovered it.. I think you would enjoy the depth of el condor pasa -by Simon and Garfunkel. "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail" meaning I would rather have impact on others rather than being pushed upon .
And yet, somehow one of the major cruise lines is using this in a recent commercial... now that’s a cruise I’d like to take!
Its sounds like they're trying to say "Come take a trip with us".
@@jasonsanders8797 I'll take that trip!
@@jasonsanders8797 id freak tf out if i tripped on a cruise lmao
This song took you on a trip without leaving the station. Love that " I didn't have time to react"
Woohoo, a great blast from my past 🤗🎶🔥
If you watch or remember Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland” then hear the song again, you’ll notice:
“One pill makes you smaller”
“One pill makes you larger”
“A hookah smoking caterpillar”
“If you go chasing rabbits”
“The men on the chess board”
“The red queen’s off with her head”
You might think the song is innocently referring to “Alice in Wonderland”
Then think of how brilliant Jefferson Airplane was in hiding drug references:
“One pill” + “One pill”= pills that either get you high or down; that’s why “the ones that mother gives you don’t do anything at all”
“Tell ‘em a hookah smoking caterpillar has given you the call”= shoutout that someone called you and referred you to the drug scene
“And if you go chasing rabbits”= sounds like 60’s reference to go ‘chasing the dragon’, which was opium
“The men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go”= the cops telling you what to do after they’ve arrested you for doing drugs
“And the red queen’s off with her head”=when you do drugs, you’re 'outta your mind’
I’ve never done drugs, but I grew up in a neighborhood in Los Angeles surrounded by gangsters, drug dealers, hookers, and hippies.
That’s how I know most of these references.
I'm going to implement a White Rabbit code when friends and I are going to party. It's brilliant! 😂
Follow the White Rabbit, Neo.
@@Easy_Skanking How could I forget Neo's White Rabbit guide to.... 🟥💊🟦
@@tenaocean4713 The Matrix has you.
@@Easy_Skanking I'm watching Mr. Video in the Simulation. 🖥️
Your reaction to 60's and 70's hippie music cracks me up every time. Lol
Alice in Wonderland ! (but it’s also about drugs). But what made me laugh, is there’s a song by Smokie called “Who the F... is Alice ?”.
Your face when you first heard Grace Slick's voice, it's priceless!
I didn't think you were going to get scared by White Rabbit lmao when the mushroom word came up.
Now that you've entered psychedelia, you need to listen to "Inagaddadavida" by Iron Butterfly. It's practically the druggies' national anthem. Also, best drum solo ever.
Check out the live Woodstock version of this song. Incredible!
Cat Cassie
I believe Grace's lyrics are a bit more soothing and 'welcoming' at the Woodstock show... Sort of interesting. --Or, "amazing", considering it was a live recording. Wasn't it even a morning show? :-)
@@chivalryalive yes, it was a morning show.
@@HappyValleyDreamin Thanks! I only know from watching documentaries.... I was actually born that year! :-D (Adopted at birth from a young mother... I always had a fantasy that I may have actually been conceived at the great rock and arts festival!) :-D
@@chivalryalive well, you never know....
@@HappyValleyDreamin When I was a teenager, at college, I was going home with a number of women as old as my biological mother.... A later girlfriend of mine used to tease me --"Do you realize how many times you may have come close to 'making it' with your own mother!?" :-D
That look on your face at the first pause, priceless.
Don't forget styx! "Crystal ball" or "Mr. Roboto"
The last minute or so of this song is just about my favourite part of any song, ever.
All about Alice in wonder land, it’s an acid trip song. Lol
🤣🤣🤣 yeah! Mushroom music. Lol 🤣🤣 shrooms, hash, acid, it was all good back in the day.
Sonic The Hedgehog is a hard game to play when you are tripping on mushrooms.
Grace Slick was also the female lead singer in Jefferson Starship.
Velvet Underground is great too
One of my first concerts was Jefferson Airplane and the person I was with, my best friend at the time, our goal was to make Grace Slick react to us... So we jumped from the second floor and hung from the railing... Grace looked at us like you are crazy.... Mission accomplished😝😂😂
Please check "Somebody to love woodstock '69" Everyone soo fkn' high in that video 😀
“Throw the radio in the bath tub! When white rabbit peaks!”
Lol 😝 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
Dont listen to ANY other directions... Find a song its called Alice's Restaurant.
Arlo Guthrie did it.
And his dad was a famous folk rock singer.
I got the songbook for this song and if i see ya anywhere near Alice...i'll hafta send you this book.
Theres some 5by7 glossy photographs involved,with writing on the back...
And you can get ANYTHING you want...at Alice's Restaurant...!😂😂😂😂😁
Loved the movie based on the song!
Years later they changed their name to Jefferson Starship.
Between 1974 and 1984, they released eight gold or platinum selling studio albums.
You like smoking the wacky weed...lol ... you need to listen to the Steve Miller band... The Joker
yea thats a good song
Also Brewer and Shipley "One Toke Over The Line"
@@jasonremy1627 Sweet Jesus...YES !!
no the better version to watch is the that 70's show cast cover of the joker
💯💚💨
Every time I hear this song now I’ll always think of it being called mushroom music. Lol. Thanks to reacting to this song it’s one of my favorites.
If you haven't yet react to Bruce Springsteen "I'm on fire" can you please check it out.
Thanks, love your channel.
Needs to be the Robin Williams doing Elmer Fudd doing Springsteen version
@@ttrob93 is that a real version of the song?
@@ttrob93 just saw it funny...
You need to chew some gum when you are about to land or take off and then your ears won't be popping
LEO!! Love ya brother!!
Brilliantly simple way to describe the Devastating power of the human voice. Very sharp.
Come on out to the mountains and we'll Shroom A Zoom Zoom and Boom Boom!!
I used to go out & party with my Mom. She's not the average Mom. She has friends in bands & it seemed like every bar we went to with a band she knew, they would play White Rabbit & have her sing it. I HATED this song with a passion! Eventually though, I came to think of my Mom whenever I heard this song so now I love it! It makes me smile thinking back on all the good times we had together.
LOOOOL I WANT MR VIDEOS FIRST REACTION TO A PROPER MUSHROOM TRIP hahahaha 5 hour live show PLEASE
Grace Slick is amazing singer! Also give their song "Somebody to love" a try. :)
And for comparison, check out their live version of this song from Woodstock (the real one from 1969).
Also it's never too early! They started their Woodstock set on 8 AM on Sunday morning. x)
I used to watch the Smothers Brothers show that this video came from. Probably saw this performance. That was a long time ago! Iconic psychedelic music! 👍
