David Tennant sings Gilbert & Sullivan

[WarriorElf54]

I love Gilbert and sullivan

[JamonJamtastic]

All I can think of is the elements song I hear in grade school.

[bignosefailure]

The whole radio play this is taken from is on craig murray's website craigmurray org uk click on the link on the right hand side under the picture of David.

It's a great play by David Hare, telling a true story.

[polkahorse17]

the elements song has the same tune XD

[OliverTwist2013]

whoever disliked this obviously is an emotionless cyberman...

[saphriaofhogwarts]

In short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral, David Tennant is the model of a modern major general!!!!! :D

[iammadness]

Of course he's good at math. He's the Doctor XD

[foreverisnotnever]

I almost died... xD

[BVBMCRlyfe]

Oh my God. I just nerdgasmed. :')

[whydidppltakemyname]

AnakateH8, that was brilliant!

[HeyDeeW]

Oh. My. God.

[krazydoctorwhogirl]

i love this its so kool :)

[booboo64ish]

Is there anything this man can t do?!

[timegirl777]

Squeaks and dies.

[Yume2oo5]

sweet



[zacfan201]

Omg love this makes me dance like a fool every time

[dangerjonasluv20]

I just about DIED with happiness.

Anyone else?

[IRemindMeOfTheBabe]

@dangerjonasluv20 i died, and then I regenerated so I could hear it again! XD

[timegirl777]

When did he do this?

[zacfan201]

So funny love it lol thers absolutly nothing david can't do

[godessshannon]

HOW ADORABLE IS THAT :D

the accent makes it soooooooooo perfect!!!

[DannyMan167]

I dare someone to make a parody to the lyrics in relation to the Doctor.

[AnakateH8]

@DannyMan167 How's this?

I am the very model of an outer-space time traveler

I wonder through the universe and sometimes with a passenger

I move around through time and space in nothing but a big blue box

And everyone that I encounter claims that I'm a chatterbox

I have more but it won't let me post it all :-)

[SingenStattAtmen]

@AnakateH8 Oh wow this is genious! XD Nice rhymes! Please post the rest! :)

[DannyMan167]

@SingenStattAtmen Please post the rest.

[SingenStattAtmen]

@DannyMan167 You got this wron, it was AnakateH8 who wrote that, not me! But she send me the rest, and I think she won't mind if I do this:

Like felines I have 13 lives because I can regenerate

My kind they ruled the universe until they were obliterated

Know that everything that was and is and could be passes by my head

And time is just a great big ball of wibly timey-whimey stuff

And time is just a great big ball of wibly timey-whimey stuff *repeat two time*

[jeandiata]

@SingenStattAtmen

You really should put the alternate lyrics in the description. They are bloody brilliant!!

[Johnsavag]

I am the very model of a scientist salarian,

Ive studied species turian, asari and batarian.

I'm quite good at genetics

as subset of biology

because I am an expert

which i know is a tautology.

My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian,

I am the very model of a scientist salarian.

[actressforever14]

Is it bad that I sang along?

[OhSoStrangeStudios]

This gives me pride in being scottish ;D

[Emanizer]

This puts a huge smile on my face every time. :D ooh David.

[KevinJonasFan13]

This man trolls my existence.

WHY DAVID? WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?

[imapowerranger27]

this is so freaking entertaining

[TheHumanThatMoos]

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,

I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,

I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,

About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,

With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

[Daphnegirl93]

And now... the elements song :3

[anticipatednostalgia]

what's this from?

[Allyouneedisluv1]

There is something so hot about the fact that David has a Scottich accent. For that matter there is something very hot about Scottish accents in general... is that strange? i dont think so... XD

[JustCuriousDesigns]

@Allyouneedisluv1 Not a bit strange. ^_^ I think it's because the Scottish accent is a bit musical itself...lilting, alternating between a rapid and idle pace, a combination of crisp and soft, dulcet sounds, etc.

[Allyouneedisluv1]

@JustCuriousDesigns I think you're right. :D I love Scottish accents, and i totally agree. Yay for Scottsmen! haah ^^

[silverclawedwolf]

.....so this is where mordin learned how to sing.

[faithlessbelievers]

Must find this. MUST find this. But where?! Any help?

[totofan4ever]

I love this bit!

[ZaraMunro]

WITH MANY CHEERFUL FACTS ABOUT THE SCARY HIPPOPOTAMUS!!! (Frasier fans will get that ;D) Gotta love David :3

[Nath020784]

Oh he relly should do this for comic relief dressed complete in major uniform. It would be brilliant. Especially if he did it with other Doctor who cast!!

[pipkinsweetgrass]

I so heart this! Anytime I feel down I play it and I always feel better afterwards. Has anyone but me noticed he does it in a manner quite...Doctorly?

[SumoMuffins]

And all I hear is"Here's a llama there's a llama, and another little llama."

[QuirkyGirl12345]

@SumoMuffins All I hear is "Antimony, Arsenic, Aluminium, Selenium, and Hydrogen and Lithium and Nitrogen and Rhenium...."

Sorry..... I really am a nerd... =D

[BriShain]

@QuirkyGirl12345 That's what I heard actually!

[xfoxxibabex]

I swear people in the background were going "Wa, What!"

[dragoncharm1]

@magaliswerdfeger I read that at first as "DT singing without anyONE on top of him." Though that happened a lot in Blackpool too...

[yoopergamerboy]

I was expecting for some weird reason to here David sing: " I am the very model of a scientist salarian..."

[Lucytheoncegreat]

this is brilliant.

[Doctorwhorulesify]

AWE I LOVE HIS ACCENT

[vanessahdepp1]

@Doctorwhorulesify ME TOO!!!

[Doctorwhorulesify]

@vanessahdepp1 hee it goes so well with the song!!

[vanessahdepp1]

@Doctorwhorulesify Obviously! Britain´s accent <3

[Doctorwhorulesify]

@vanessahdepp1 i know i can switch from englsh to victorish it's awesome!!

[vanessahdepp1]

@Doctorwhorulesify Cool^^ I learned the english accent at school^^

[Doctorwhorulesify]

@vanessahdepp1 cool yeah i am half british and half victoriaish

[vanessahdepp1]

@Doctorwhorulesify Cool^^

Pity I am German^^

[Doctorwhorulesify]

@vanessahdepp1 a German accent is awesome as a british accent !!

[vanessahdepp1]

@Doctorwhorulesify xD Well I love british more...or even scottish *_*

Honestly, I wanna see it. I mean this record, is there any chance to see it? Do you know?

[Doctorwhorulesify]

@vanessahdepp1 no i haven't

[irishunicorn65]

@vanessahdepp1 It is a radio play only. You can download it on David Tennants web site under audio then go to radio plays click on Murder in Samarkand, right click to download it to any media that can be played on a PC. I use Windows Media Player. It's an historical play & David sings the song at a diner party his character is playing. I hope you like it as much as I did! I love David in anything he does!! I do love a Scottish accent and David has the sexiest one I've ever heard! <3 <3 <3

[vanessahdepp1]

@irishunicorn65 Thaaaanks anyway!

Yes^^ Awwww each time i hear David´s voice I just *fan girl faints*

[StKitteh]

@YumiRulz I SOOOOOO agree!

[YumiRulz]

Gilbert & Sullivan + David Tennant = HOLY CANNOLI THIS IS SO EPIC I'M GONNA DIIIIEEE!!!!!!!! XD young scottish man makes this song sound all the more fun. and the fact that he's THE doctor adds one final BAM.

loved the end. X3

[RoseInPink]

Happy Birthday David!! <3

[msnoahxlukefan]

haha! he is adorable!!

[maryliz98]

Wow! This is not an easy song to sing... And he does it so well!

[Kremzeek217]

@maryliz98 It's actually not as hard as it seems. The later verses, however, are quite tricky until you figure out the pronunciations. It's still quite a feat to be able to sing this song, though. I'm in "Pirates" right now (I'm the Pirate King, though I auditioned for the Major-General) and I'm giggling with glee to find the Doctor singing Jacob's (our Major-General) song! YAAAAAY GILBERT & SULLIVAN!!!

[nibs323]

@Kremzeek217 I'm the aforementioned Major-General! I figured the universe would be unable to handle something of this magnitude. Absolutely brilliant...and it's not too terribly hard to learn, either. It helps to be a Time Lord, apparently.

[jtanton10]

I would so see this stage

[bellalysewinchester]

whoever disliked this is a Dalek...

[golden24680]

xD Bloody amazing, this is!

WITH MANY CHEERFUL FACTS ABOUT THE SQUARE OF THE HYPOTENUSE!

We learned that in math and my mate Emma and I started singing this :D

Ah, I love David Tennant..... that man truely is amazing!

[DoctorWhoRocks10000]

Imagine Matt Smith singing this!

[Boilme0]

I get to the end of 'Model General' then i have a heart attack :P

[fangirlIT]

@savethekeytar123 Google "I am the very model of a Modern Major General lyrics"

[DragonSporks]

He should have sung this while he was the Doctor ;)

He's just so sweet! Can't help but smile whenever he walks on screen... Wish I could see him in a play!

[sunnydelight1992]

I can't help but smile when i listen to this. :)

[182crazyK]

♫ I am the very model of a scientist salarian...♪

[MarkShadowWolf]

@182crazyK I've studied every species, turian, asari and batarian.

[mlover4evr]

One Dalek watched this video.

[OreganoOreo]

Well, that's 2 Doctors down...

Colin Baker did a version of this called 'Gallifreyan Buccaneer'.

[elimacca]

this song is going to make learning maths methods so. much. more. awesome.

[choirpsycho]

When I get excited, my eyes water. I'm crying and grinning my head off right now.

[ashmeera101]

I've been hitting the replay button for over an hour now. :B

[melian06]

I'd like to know who the hell is that single person who doesn't like this! 1thumb down... why oh why?

[QueenFreakk]

@melian06 probably disliked by accident :O

[carolinha76]

What a wonderful voice

[Weber1437]

Hehehehehe... ^^

[LiunaTiger]

He sings very well :) The lyrics isn't easy indeed, especially after the "Ah yes". I love that "Ah yes!" :) Lovely accent in singing too.

[MusicMadSuperAwesome]

0.22 - when he says binomial theorem, I go all wibbly. :)

[megzcad]

Aha!! Love youuuu!!! XD

[peterabbid]

He could have done it faster, that would've been awesome :P

[havering1]

@peterabbid But then it wouldn't have lasted as long!

[peterabbid]

@havering1 that's true.. then he could have done another verse or two :P

[candymandy224]

OH. MY. GOD!!!! i am a total gilbert and sullivan freak and absolutely in love with david so this was pure heaven for me!!!

[SamiGirl27]

This is HIGHLY entertaining. People with Scottish accents need to sing more often. xD

[milady871]

I could listen to this the whole day...:D

[aarondirebear]

Very good. this is a hard song to sing correctly.

[esgaril]

He needs to make a musical with this amazing voice! I'd so buy the DVD!

[tahitianpearl]

Does anyone know where this came from?

[DoctorWhoRocks10000]

I love DT and hearing this makes want to die. <3<3<3<3

[ILuvPadfoot]

ohyes xD

[monilip]

I don't care that I don't understand what he is singing (I'm not English, I'm Polish) but to hear his voice singing.. that's enought for me :D

[edtieho]

I love this!!!

[Raiderhater1013]

[TariNimmireth]

HAHAHAHA oh David you never cease to make me smile! :) <- See?

This is one of my absolute favourite Gilbert and Sullivan songs!! Ah man. And he sings it so well! He's no John Barrowman, but who cares! He's still brilliant!!! :D And he can out-act John Barrowman any day.
