Commercial for Celebrity Cruises

gidgetgh — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 22:33:52 GMT

Has anyone seen this commercial? They play it frequently, at least in our area (Atlanta).

In the commercial, they use part of the song, White Rabbit, by Jefferson Airplane.

I think it's a really interesting, weird to be honest, choice for a song for a cruise line.

Yes, Ive thought that song odd to advertise a cruiseline. What does it mean? Being on a cruise is like an acid trip? You're down the rabbit hole when you're on a cruise? I dont get it either.

"Remember what the dormouse said, "Feed your head".

Maybe "feed your head" means different things to different people, but I think it is rather clever.

PM Okay, explain this commercial to me from Celebrity Cruise Lines.

They use the song "Go Ask Alice" by Jefferson Airplane. Are they saying that by going on a trip with them, that you'll go on a trip?

Yes, that commercial had my husband and I wondering whether they had a clue as to what that song was about.

Maybe there's some sort of Timothy Leary memorial cruise coming up.

Yes, I noticed that commercial and commercials rarely catch my interest.

I thought it meant "you'll feel like you're Alice in Wonderland", all magical and stuff.

I agree, weird.

It's for the old folks who cruise.

I could see it for a Carnival 3 daybooze cruise but Celebrity is supposed to be classy. So yes it is odd.

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 them a hookah-smoking caterpillar

Has given you the call

Call Alice when she was just small

When the men on the chess board

Get up and tell you where to go

And you just had some kind of mushroom

And your mind is moving slow

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 lost her head

Remember what the dormouse said

Feed your head

"Feed your head" means DRUGS - from the "White Rabbit" perspective, so this commercial makes no sense.

@Bubby Mommy

lol, I know what the song means. We all know what the song means.

"Feed your head" is a play on words. You're not taking an acid trip, you're taking a cruise and that "feeds your head".

Those words are not exclusive to drugs. Art feeds your head, good music feeds your head, good books, etc. etc.

People are so freaking lilteral sometimes.

Aimed at the over 50 crowd, produced by someone who never heard of Woodstock.

Unlock a world of wonders on a cruise ship....it's just a campaign they chose to use.

The song is about drugs, pure and simple.

"One PILL to make you large

One PILL to make you small

And you just had some kind of MUSHROOM"
