Doctorin' the Tardis

The 12" mix clocks in at 8:11 and includes extended instrumentation of both the theme, and Dalek dialogue.
The Daleks' "Exterminate" and "We obey no-one. We are the superior beings" get the rap and scratch treatment. Even Davros, the creator of the Daleks, can be heard, screaming "YOU WILL OBEY ME!" to which the Daleks said "We obey no one."

Also included here is the original version of the KLF's instrumental "What Time Is Love," which sounds like an early 90's techno number, and with keyboards sounding like Lords Of Acid's "Take Control" and sans the heavy techno beats.

The next is another album cut. "Gary In The TARDIS" is like the previous number, except with Gary Glitter vocals, with chants for Gary, and Gary asking, "Well, did you miss me? (YEAH!) Do you love me? (YEAH!) Do you want to touch me? (YEAH YEAH YEAH!)" References to three of his songs are included, one being "the leader of the gang" and "do you want to touch me" "rock and roll" and both are mixed in with mention of the TARDIS. The Dalek still says his lines from Genesis.

The instrumental of "Doctorin' The TARDIS" is different from the single and extended versions. It focuses more on the theme music and the windy sound effects and computerized bleeps.

Mostly recommended for fans of the original Jams album and for Dr. Who fans who wanted to hear the extended version.

The song "Doctorin' the Tradis" by The Timelords(aka The JAMs aka The KLF) combines the music of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" with the TV theme of the BBC's Dr. Who. The song was a Number One hit in the U.K., but only managed to reach #66 on the U.S. charts. There are four mixes of the song here. The first one is the original 7 inch single version. The second one is the 12 inch dance remix version. The third one guest stars Gary Glitter himself. And the fourth version is an instrumental remix. One other song is included, which is "What Time is Love?". This song was a Top Five hit in the U.K., but stalled at #57 on the U.S. charts. "Doctorin' the Tardis" is a great fun song, especially if you are a Dr. Who fan.

This is the ultimate CD for Dr Who fans. Perfect for late night driving, be it through the city or on the highway. Throw that giant scarf around your neck, crank the stereo and blast across the galaxy!

It may be relatively unknown here in the US , But Dr Who is a big deal in the UK , enough that tunes like this one are generated and can even become top 20 hits . I have been a big fan of Dr Who all my life so I couldn't be any happier with this Cd the songs on it . My transaction and ease of purchase on the Amazon web site are the biggest / best reason for my continued use of the service . I listen to my Cd at least twice a day , & will listen to it for years to come .
