Why the hell is White Rabbit...

The archetypical psychedellic song?
If a show or movie does a psychedellic gag, it's usually got White Rabbit playing.
Sure, it's good, and it's well-known, but there has to be other, perhaps better songs to use... hasn't there?
Someone's got to know a better song for this purpose

I just heard it and was rather underwhelmed
For my pyschedelic theme song, I usually turn to Ratatat's Cherry (I know it's not very psychedelic at all, but this song helped me though a tedious acid trip, so it holds personal value)

yep haha. I dont remember the whole episode but homer reflects on his past and how "cool" he was.
I think at the beginning of the band's music video, there's a voice that says something like "in a study of people and psychedelic drugs, a series of people were asked how psychedelic drugs have affected their hearing, 20 percent said it hasn't affected their hearing, the rest simply didn't hear."
I know that quote is probably very wrong so maybe someone can fix it

Has anyone heard the rendition of Sugar Hill Gang's Apache by The Shadows which was then remixed Fat Boy Slim??? I believe it was in Snatch.
Anyhow, check it out. I think you will like.

Pretty much the same with "Comfortably Numb" even though that song really isn't exclusively about drugs as much as people make it seem.

you also tend to hear 'Gimme Shelter' in a lot of movies during a scene where the characters are using drugs.
boomer staples, man. thats the kind of shit that makes old boomers feel all warm and squishy inside.
"Wow, that's familiar! For a split second there, I didn't feel like a lame old man!"

I would upload acroyear2 but my file of it is 12mb and im to lazy to convert or cut it up. However, its not really psychedelic or even that great for autechre imo. Maybe drugs would help, but you're not missing much.
I have every track by autechre and other pseudonyms, there are some great tracks, maybe ill pick out a good trippy one and upload.

Autechre - Eutow
This is one of my favorite Autechre tracks, not too psychedelic. Its more emotional but good for tripping and especially rolling.

White Rabit is probably so well know because of the cultural attachment that we have to the song. It came out right after alot of the psychedlic bands where either falling apart or changing their music. So a song about a psychedlic trip was probably more interesting than a song that is supposed to acompany a psychedlic trip at that time.
It was also sung by Jefferson Airplane who was a very widely excepted and popular band.

thats just like when a couple in a movie in hollywood are done with sex they fall back on the bed to laydown. i seen on the simpsons when homer smoked some bud he was hearing Donavan-Wear Your Love Like Heaven. that song should be used more for that psychedelic backdrop.
