An utterly silly parody of an utterly silly song. I may rework the very opening at some point, to make the sax more impactful. But I think this one worked out just fine.
lyrics
I wondered which actor was playing Doctor Who
The DVDs’ blank case, it gave me not a clue,
So I put in the first disk and let it play through.
And it had....
Pertwee, he was third,
Dang thing has ‘em out of order,
Hartnell, Troughton, Baker,
Davison and Baker 2!
McCoy, Paul McGann,
John Hurt, Eccleston, and Tennant,
Matt Smith, Peter and Jodie,
All played Doctor Who!
I wondered which Doctor was gonna be on screen
Fighting the Cybermen, the Daleks, or Slitheen,
The Ood, the Weeping Angels, Who would we be seeing?
And it was....
Pertwee, he was third,
Dang thing has ‘em out of order,
Hartnell, Troughton, Baker,
Davison and Baker 2!
McCoy, Paul McGann,
John Hurt, Eccleston, and Tennant,
Matt Smith, Peter and Jodie,
All played Doctor Who!
I love Rowan Atkinson and also Peter Cushing,
Although it could be said Rowan was fake,
There’s the clone who got with Rose, though that was kinda pushing,
And who of us did not love Jackson Lake?
The lady fugitive, she took us for a ride.
And then there's River Song, who is the Doctor's bride,
This timeline couldn't get more mixed-up if they tried.
It starts with...
Pertwee, he was third,
Dang thing has ‘em out of order,
Hartnell, Troughton, Baker,
Davison and Baker 2!
McCoy, Paul McGann,
John Hurt, Eccleston, and Tennant,
Matt Smith, Peter and Jodie,
All played Doctor Who!
Who would play the Doctor has confounded countless casters
Who had a schedule that they had to meet,
All those different aliens, companions, and Masters,
A list that's never gonna be complete.
For over fifty years we’ve all watched Doctor Who
The greatest casting gimmick anyone could do
We’ll get a new one after twenty twenty two
But till then...
Pertwee, he was third,
Dang thing has ‘em out of order,
Hartnell, Troughton, Baker,
Davison and Baker 2!
McCoy, Paul McGann,
John Hurt, Eccleston, and Tennant,
Matt Smith, Peter and Jodie,
All played Doctor Who!

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful.
Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
