@realbadger Glad you enjoyed! Unfortunately I lack the expertise (and patience) to insert the captions into the video itself, but have just converted the YouTube captions to .srt format as a separate file linked from the download-and-notes page. I'm not familiar with other software but it works in VLC if you have the video and captions in the same folder and named the same.
That was awesome. I wasn't aware of literal music videos until I found a link to a Wired article about *your* video! Yes, your video's hilariousness was recognized by Wired, and by me, and you totally did a great job!
This is super brilliant! The original literal video was pretty awesome, but to take those lyrics, and then edit together such an AWESOME Dr. Who montage? @$%@#$ing BRILLIANT! You win the internets! :)
Hi all, thanks for all your comments, it's fantastic to see so many people enjoying it! For those who want lyrics, they're available as captions - click the "CC" icon in the video's control strip and select English.
@EdiePryde I couldn't find any actual birds other than the chickens in Venice so decided to go for metaphorical instead - full explanation of my obscure thought processes is at the link listed in the video description (which YouTube won't let me repost here :-( )
@zeborahnz Thanks for the response. Won't Youtube let you post the actual text of the full explanation if not the link? Also, can you do a "this is a video response" link & link to the original literal TEotH vid? Otherwise some might not realize just how brilliant your version is :)
@EdiePryde YouTube allows 500 characters in comments, which isn't long enough for the full explanation. And I've already set this up as a video response - hadn't expected to get so much attention as a result but guess I shouldn't be surprised. :-)
@zeborahnz Coulda sworn I'd seen longer descrips than yours but I was obviously wrong. I was talking about the link you see below videos that reads: "this is a video response to..." Don't see that here, but if you're getting the hits who cares! You deserve every bit of attention. I keep finding a new favorite moment each time I watch. Right now it's the Jack over-the-top bit and Eva Peron...I'm going to think of the Eva thing whenever the Doctor raises his arms up when I watch Who now! META :)
@EdiePryde The lyrics for this video were originally made to parody the original music video Total Eclipse of the Heart several years ago. In the music video at that moment a kid throws out a dove, so that's where the dove reference is from.
In short what you're seeing is a video montage being matched to the lyrics written to parody a different video montage.
Hi, I love your video, but can you please write down the lyrics. English is not my native language and although I get most of it, I would love to get all of it!! Thanks for making this clip!! It rocks!!
Not as much of a Doctor Who fan as I'd like to be, but a definite and committed @dascottjr fan. Wonderful work up, even a minor DW fan can get it! :-D
This is so hilarious, I actually started to cry. I'm a big fan of Doctor Who and the literal video phenomenon, and this blends the two perfectly. Thank you!
not as good as the first, but nice attempt though...
