Description: (Jefferson Airplane cover) A little departure from the "sweet" kind of songs I normally do, but I had to give it a try. Sometimes belting out songs is good therapy when things aren't going quite right. :) (Karaoke BT with my vocals)

Queen of the Cover Songs...

This is something I'm doing just for fun -- to live out a lifelong dream since the age of around 7 or so when I realized that I could carry a tune (without the use of a bucket!) and it didn't sound bad. Much love and thanks go to those in my SoundClick family (and now beyond!) who helped to encourage/challenge me to spread my wings to try this out and continue to take it to the next level. Without your kind support I'd still be just a listener (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Story behind the song

I've been told that I don't have enough "natural venom" in my voice to be able to pull off a song like this effectively...what do you think? (PM me...and be honest)

Lyrics

WHITE RABBIT
==========

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 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"

Hi Mary Clare,
This song brought me back to teen age years again.
Wow I had to see how you sang this song and
you did a great job! Not an easy song to sing at all!
You were right on with every beat of the music.
Let's keep track of what each other is doing.
            God Bless,
           Your good friend, Heleana Maria
