zimmerman pt3 Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 I was thinking today, what the fuck was that whole show about?? I can't seem to get a synopsis on it; all websites are catered to the knowledgeable fans, keeping me out in the cold. Also, how PSYCH were those opening credits!! That caramel swirl always hypnotized me when I was young, yet the rest of the show kind of bored me to tears, unless the Draleks were involved, "EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE"! Another thing (and this goes out to any local jambands looking for new covers): HIT UP THAT THEME SONG AND MILK IT LIKE TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS!!! It's totally up for grabs and it would surely fire up any 20-something crowd (50's crowd too). You can download the full 1980 version off Kazaa. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asparagus Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Dr. Who is pure gold. One of my favourite shows when I was young. I even fashioned a scarf after Tom Baker's when I was eight. I still wear it. I was thrilled when I got the preview of the digital cable. It's on all the time on BBC Kids. nero has covered the theme song, or rather they jammed it out in the middle of Frankenstein. They don't play Frankenstein anymore so I think the Dr. Who theme is out. I've keep pestering them though. They played it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phunky Cauldron Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Fragglerock has the most kickin' bass line ever. Any band that picks that one up'll get people shakin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hey Phunky: http://www.angelfire.com/tv/fraggles/audio/downloads.htm - Fraffle Rock indeed ROCKS! I actually might see if Uncle Seth wants to do that, maybe as part of something. Tara is a HUGE fan, and the other guys are always up for something different. And zimmerman - it's been YEARS since I saw that show, but the basic premise as I remember it was basically this dude Dr. Who who is a "Time Lord" travels around through time & space right'ing wrongs and having wacky adventures with all sorts of different partners, including a robotic dog named K9. Time Lords apparently live more or less forever but occasionally need to regenerate their bodies into a new form, thus the various actors that played Dr. Who throughout the show's run. There's my relatively lame synopsis, I'm sure there's a more accurate and comprehensive one out there somewhere. Oh, and as far as covering the theme I do know that Pink Floyd does a little quote in "One Of These Days". I'm positive there are tonnes of bands that have covered it out there. Peace, Mr. M.

Phred Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 I have heard it covered by a local band in Ottawa 8 or more years ago. The band was called Persona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Uncle Seth will be covering "The best song ever written" (the Fraggle rock theme) and possibly playing it at Frontier town! as for Dr. Who....I didn't get it....my boyfriend loves it...I still don't get it.
