==In popular culture== * "The Mock Turtle" was the name of a costumed criminal obsessed with Alice in Wonderland and other fantasies in the ''[[Astro City]]'' universe (as a possible reference to [[DC Comics]]' similarly Wonderland-obsessed villain, the [[Mad Hatter (DC Comics)|Mad Hatter]]). * In the 1940 screwball comedy film ''[[His Girl Friday]]'', [[Cary Grant]]'s character Walter Burns shouts at another character, "Get back in there, you Mock Turtle!" Grant had played the Mock Turtle in the [[Alice in Wonderland (1933 film)|1933 ''Alice in Wonderland'']]. * [[Steely Dan]] recorded a demo entitled "The Mock Turtle Song;" this song was never recorded for a studio album but has been released on compilations and the band has played it live. The lyrics were directly taken from a song in the section in the book ("The Lobster Quadrille").{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} * [[Jazz fusion]] band [[Bruford (band)|Bruford]] recorded a song entitled "Fainting in Coils," which is included as the fifth track of the band's 1979 release ''[[One of a Kind (Bruford album)|One of a Kind]]''. The song includes narration by Sam Alder, Anthea Norman Taylor and band founder [[Bill Bruford]] as the Mock Turtle, consisting of a 74-word excerpt from "The Mock Turtle's Story." In this excerpt, the Mock Turtle tells Alice about some of things he studied in school, which among other things included "...Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils." *[[The Mock Turtles]] are an English indie rock band. Their most famous song "[[Can You Dig It (The Mock Turtles song)|Can You Dig It?]]," which was released in the UK in 1991, charted at number 18; and then, slightly remixed, it again reached number 18 when re-released in 2003. *Mock Turtle characters appear in the 1994 video game ''[[King's Quest VII]]'' and the 1997 video game ''[[An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire]]''.
