In fairness, it is a very dated (50+ years!) reference.

This song is called Alice's Games; it's about Alice and her games, but
"Alice's Games" isn't the name of the game. That's just the name of
the song. That's why I call the song "Alice's Games"
Now, it all started 23 Thanksgivings ago, twenty three years ago, on Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went to Gamestop to buy a game by
American McGee.
Now, American McGee isn't in the game; he just wrote the game, in a
Texas office with Rogue Software, and EA, the publisher. And livin' in
Texas like that, they get a lot of wild ideas in their heads, and
having all those wild ideas (seeing how they live in Texas), they
decided to make a game about Alice in Wonderland.
So we got to Gamestop and found a game about Alice in Wonderland, and
we figured it would be a great idea for us to buy that game and play
it at home.
(etc. No, I'm not gonna continue; the song is a half-hour long!)
(and with sincerest apologies to Arlo Guthrie)
