Doctor Who: Murray Makes Keff Kool

Right! That's the last of 'em! No more theme music videos! :)

To complete the set (and I mean it this time) here's Murray Gold vs. Keff McCulloch - the current theme version the version from the Sylvester McCoy era.

And yes, it did have to be pitched down quite a bit to match!

Keff McCullough's theme was the last electronically arranged theme, as it was preceeded by the orchestral theme from the movie and Gold's theme. I hope that the new theme IS electronic and not some mashup of Delia Derbyshire's theme and an over the top orchestra.

Technically of course, John Debney's TV Movie theme *was* arranged electronically, as was series one of Murray Gold's theme in 2005 ;)

Is the title of this video supposed to be an insult toward's Keff's titles? Because they're okay and I think people should appreciate it for what it is. It is 22 years old.

Reply please.

Facetious reply:

It's a gag and you're taking it too seriously.

Serious reply:

I don't have a lot of issues with Keff's incidental music - Remembrance is great and Paradise Towers actually works as music to listen to.

However I'm not a fan of his theme - it's in the wrong key, ruins the bass-line and is just too harsh on the ears. By contrast I really like Dominic Glynn's.

Also consider the distinction between the THEME TUNE and TITLE SEQUENCE - Keff didn't do both.

Have you tried TURNING YOUR VOLUME DOWN

[jamespotter76]

Yes, it still sounded rubbish.

[therealKINDLE]

Keff's version is much more haunting than Murrays extravaganzer!

[MegaBanana101]

Keff's theme was already better than any of Murray's

[ThesmokeNmirrorsHQ]

Pretty cool. Has an urgency 2it! Bit cluttered, but if u had the parts, I think it's work boy!

[Wasteass]

@keiracounsell Agreed!

[zorazen2]

Time Turning Tunnel Twirling.

[cliv78]

Great mix.

[ariesroc]

With Keff and the titles supporting it MG's theme sounds and looks a lot better!

[GenghisKhan44]

Ah... bathing in the synthiness of this remix...

[keiracounsell]

keff is kool without murray

@yesno3601

Sure, so long as you don't mind ripping it from YouTube.

I personally think the 12th Doctor should have a beard.
