==Media== A song called "Beware the Jabberwock" was written for Disney's 1951 animated film ''[[Alice in Wonderland (1951 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' sung by [[Stan Freberg]], but it was discarded, replaced with "'Twas Brillig", sung by the [[Cheshire Cat]], that includes the first stanza of "Jabberwocky". The [[Alice in Wonderland sculpture]] in [[Central Park]] in [[Manhattan]], New York City, has at its base, among other inscriptions, a line from "Jabberwocky".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gothamist.com/arts-entertainment/the-16-best-public-art-pieces-in-nyc|title=The 16 Best Public Art Pieces in NYC|date=16 April 2015|website=Gothamist|author=Rebecca Fishbein}}</ref> The British group [[Boeing Duveen and The Beautiful Soup]] released a single (1968) called "Jabberwock" based on the poem.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/927610-Boeing-Duveen-And-The-Beautiful-Soup|title=Boeing Duveen and the Beautiful Soup|publisher=discogs}}</ref> Singer and songwriter [[Donovan]] put the poem to music on his album ''[[HMS Donovan (album)|HMS Donovan]]'' (1971).
