I was listening to this audio book while on a very crowded bus. I ended up making a complete fool of myself by laughing out loud. Nothing new there then... But this song does rock!
My god, this is so old! And just plan epic! And I doubt most new Doctor Who fans would even know this song, let alone hear it. Ah, such are memories. I was thinking of this song while I was mowing the lawn just now. What part of my brain did this suddenly pop up from? Good grief!
@kamwrites And that Rose is the best companion ever ever ever ever ever and that she and Ten were meant to be together and that any other companion deserves to be dumped. But alas, those fans do exist, and the only thing to do is ignore them. I have never known any of the Cult of Skarose to back down.
@kamwrites "Derogatory name for obsessive fans of Rose who deny that any companion before or since has contributed anything significant." TVTropes.org
@ZombieFobby haha, same =] a lot of this stuff I don't know because I've not seen much classic who but its odd that someone with the knowledge to write this song would get that wrong!
If I can do this in time and in tune (I'm just about there, there's one pesky phrase which keeps tripping me up. Not the "My trusty true type-40 Gallifreyan picaroon" which I thought would phase me, but "conjegate each verb obscure") Do you reckon I should post me performing it?
I am a woman though, so that might be weird but I'd only perform it if I thought I could do it well.
I think this is genius! The song is awesome and the vid is fantastic.
wow that was way too much for my head =) but i loved it and huge kudo's to him for actually being able to do that, i couldnt, i tried haha...i may just have to get it, i actually quite love his doctor : )
Now, I never really liked Colin Baker's Doctor, but he gets some serious points for learning this. Just reading it makes me feel like my tongue is melting.
@jcamts That's actually "Revelation of the Daleks," like the last book of the Bible.
In fact I remember JNT quipping that since we'd gone from "Genesis of the Daleks" to "Revelation of the Daleks," we'd been through the whole of Dalek scripture.
this reminds that sylvester mccoy was in either the pirates of penzants or hms pinifor just before replacing colin baker, and opposite bonnie langford at the time colins companion and then later mccoys, makes you wonder why big finish didn't make the story with those two instead, maybe colins doctor suits the arrogance of the song better!
EEK! How old is this song? And all true what he's singing about Gallifrey and the Time Lords. He sings so fast, it's a tad hard to figure out what he's talking about. But I know all about what he's singing. Many wouldn't realize, but there is a lot of information on the Time Lords and Gallifrey out there, you just need to know where to look.
Wonderful! Haven't heard this BF play yet, but this song is simply wonderful! Nice pictures and isn't Colin great! I wonder how long he has been practising on this! :-)
Trying it now. I've always fancied myself to have a silver toungue but I can't keep up with Colin Baker. I keep mumbling and falling behind him. I MUST TRY.
And I hate to spoil yours but there's a mistake in the lyrics: the line is "ups and downs and twists and turns and incidents PIRATICAL" (it's from "The Pirates" as you know...)
You're probably going to think I'm mad but can anyone give me the lyrics? Please. This is too fast for me to figure it out and yes, I genuinely want to learn this song.
Nice touch keeping the clips to 1 thru 6. A lot of fans would be mad that Sylvaulmcgacclestennant didn't have their own clips in this, but then... that would not have been... Canonical!
When the Doctor sings, "I've overthrown Dictators like Tobias Vaughn to Mavic Chen," I find it very ironic that both characters are played by the same actor.
That would be "I am the very model of a modern major general." Gilbert and Sullivan loved patter songs, much to the chagrin of us poor actors having to sing it verbatim on stage.
yeah. In fact, I found a website that displays hundreds of Harry Potter song parodies--it had at least ten parodies to "I am the very model of a modern major general" alone. I wish there was a website for doctor who song parodies.
Before anyone tries to negate this comment, let me say that I happen to like Harry Potter too, all right (at least I'm not a trekkie). In fact, if you looked at my favorites, the vast majority of the videos are either Harry Potter, or Doctor Who- themed (with a few Stars Wars and--yes--star trek videos, but those two ST videos were for comedy, combining monty python and star wars. Just because I have two Star Trek videos doesn't meant that I'm a Trekkie, which I'm not).
This is brilliant! Genius. I can't understand why theres only one video of it! And why there are only *Scrolls back up* 709 views!!
This is brilliant. The song is genius, but thats not all. this video is absolute genius too. i loved all the clips you've used and how you've empasized everything with your birlliant use of clips. I've really enjoyed this!
I love this! Great Job.
