kinda reminds me of Willy Wonka mixed with Alice in wonderland. This is probably the most coolest yet trippy freaky ass music video I have ever seen besides the movie Pink Floyd the wall. I love this song!
i forgot how trippy this video was. if i remember right, dave stewart was the "caterpillar" in the opening shots, and played sitar on the track. "alice cake," anyone?
Great song, but I just loooooooove seeing Wish Cohen [Alice] in this video. It's almost unreal to me. She's such a wonderful, sweet and talented lady and watching one of her past jobs is just surreal. She's doing a show with our repertory theatre right now and seeing this cracks me up.
Tell me about it... Also the Oompahs in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. I'd never seen dwarfs before, let alone strange-colored guys with freaky hair. Man, that scared the crap out of me! 41 yrs old, and I STILL won't watch it again! lol
Lewis Carrol did have a thing for young women but his d.o.c. was opium...some drugs have been around since the beginning of time...synthetic shit didn't happen until my lifetime...valium being the first...valarian root still the best way to do that one. I've done mushrooms, opium, hash, different varieties of herb, jimpson weed,& sum of T. Leary's orange sunshine from the brotherhood n Laguna Canyon n the late 60's. Lewis didn't take pics though his thoughts were a bit sketchy picture that::)
The Reverend Charles Dodgson did in fact take pictures of naked little girls, with their parents' permission. I've seen them. They had a collection of them in a book at the University of Florida library. I don't know if they are still there.
His affection toward a little girl, my foot. That story was about trippin on acid and smokin pot. The catterpillar was smoking a bong, she was following a "white rabbit," the mad hatter and his company were ALL paranoid, and Alice was halucinating throughout. Eating "magic" mushrooms. They weren't magic. They were halucinigenic. Potions that say drink me? That was Absinthe! And those are just the things I remember off the top of my head!
He did, in fact. But, he at first took pictures of them dressed up, the way they were so comfortable toward Lewis made the mothers like him even more. So when he asked if they could pose nude some agreed to it.
"Alice In Wonderland" was not a show, it was a book written by Charles Dodgson A.K.A. Lewis Carrol about his affection toward a little girl by the name of Alice Little.
Yes drugs are bad, very bad mushrooms. Bend over mushroom you need a spanking. What was that mushroom? Ok just one bite. Damn, it got me again. Ah ok now I get the video. Thank you mushrooms!!!
for some strange reason this video creeped me out when I was a kid! Especially when they eat the Alice cake. Kind of seemed cannibalistic to me! I still do think Tom Petty is creepy.
Depends on the drug. I believe smoking crack and meth make you stupid regardless. Pot, mushrooms and various other substances will give you a unique perspective on things.
yes, it's actually her backup crew. tom was set to record this with stevie and stevie could not show that day, he experimented with her background crew and this is what came out of it =) it's all in his biography
oops... yeah a friend told me that yesterday... im an idiot :P this was the first vid i ever saw from petty... he does look like one from this vid though dont he? it all fits, the tea, the look (just idk the hat, glasses, ect)... Sorry for bein a retard lol but im gonna strangle this guy for makin me believe petty was a brit for a whole year! D:<
LOL just heard Tom and Carl Perkins, Bono, Willie Nelson, and others singin on allmemphismusic. Was it the eyes of a New York Woman or something! Damn I'm having trouble with this one, its really jamming up. I'll come back later.
the video is saying come up to the surface dont live in a fantasy world and also the guy who wrote the original book was on lsd in the early 70s they tested it on ppl and it became greatly outlawed tom petty great artist :)
nice.. lol. she reats shrooms, now she's in a dream world haha funny alice in wonderland on drugs. i wonder whatr was on his mind when he made this video ha
how gay!!!!!!!!! they had such shitty music videos back then. and he sucks at singing, it sounds like he's dieing!
