performance of the song by the band, as no other audio document has been unearthed of it being performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts. The guitar riff played by Jimmy Page that drives this song is similar to Bobby Parker’s 1961 song "Watch Your Step" which charted in the US and the UK.

Alice in Wonderland : by Lou Bunin

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 00:11:30 -0400

Lou Bunin was a prominent puppeteer, an artist, and pioneer of stop-motion animation in the latter half of the twentieth century. While working as a mural artist under Diego Rivera in Mexico City in 1926, Bunin created political puppet shows using marionettes including a production of Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape. Photographer Tina Modotti took many pictures of Bunin and his puppets, incluing her renowned work, "The Hands of the Puppeteer." On his return to the United States, Bunin created animated three-dimensional puppets to appear in the 1929 World's Fair in New York.

Time Magazine article July 16th 1951: Walt Disney's animated color film Alice in Wonderland (RKO Radio) is booked into Manhattan's Criterion Theater for its U.S. premiere Aug. i. Six days earner, Producer Lou Bunin's French-made puppet & live-action Alice in Wonderland (released through Souvaine Selective Pictures) is slated for its U.S. opening in two of Exhibitor Harry Brandt's Manhattan movie houses. Last week, after months of ominous rumbling, Disney and Souvaine entered into battle. Claimed Disney: Bunin's "inferior" Alice would deceive the public into going to see the wrong picture, thus spoiling his nice new Alice's box-office take. In good Tweedledee fashion, Souvaine retorted: Contrariwise! The battle was joined in Manhattan's district court, where Disney and RKO sued Souvaine...
