Gallifrey - !!!NEW!!!

And, to continue the Whovian theme for this month, a parody of an ABBA classic:

Waterloo Gallifrey not by ABBA
You know
On Gallifrey is where the Doctor started
Oh, yeah
Though it wasn’t long before he and the Timelords parted 

But the Doctor knows where he’s from
And he will ensure it goes on

Gallifrey
Never defeated – no, not at all
Gallifrey
We all know now that it’s falls no more 

Gallifrey
Though so far from it the Doctor roams
Gallifrey
He still knows where it is he calls home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-Gallifrey
He’ll never forget his Gallifrey

My, my
They tried to exile him, but it didn’t last
Oh, yeah
And whenever they need him they choose to forget the past

And how could he ever refuse
If he doesn’t win they all lose

Gallifrey
Never defeated – no, not at all
Gallifrey
We all know now that it’s falls no more 

Gallifrey
Though so far from it the Doctor roams
Gallifrey
He still knows where it is he calls home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-Gallifrey
He’ll never forget his Gallifrey
 

And how could he ever refuse
If he doesn’t win they all lose

Gallifrey
Though so far from it the Doctor roams
Gallifrey
He still knows where it is he calls home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-Gallifrey
He’ll never forget his Gallifrey
Ooh-ooh, Gallifrey
They know the Doctor’ll save the day

Oh-oh-oh-oh-Gallifrey
He’ll never forget his Gallifrey
Ooh-ooh, Gallifrey

Doctor Doctor - !!!NEW!!!

And then putting a Whovian slant on ABBA.

Honey Honey Doctor Doctor not by ABBA
Doctor Doctor, how we need you, a-ha, Doctor Doctor                       
Doctor Doctor, you know it’s true, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
You keep saving earth from harm
Our enemies you disarm
And no matter where you are, you're our saviour
In your special blue box 

Doctor Doctor, know you’ll help us, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
Doctor Doctor, without a fuss, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
The way that you save the world
(The way that you do save the world)
When the Master’s plan’s unfurled
(When the master’s plan is unfurled)
We know that we can rejoice when we hear that noise

I do what I can for earth ‘cause
I’ve put lots of work in it
So I’ll stick around and
You know that I’ll never quit
We know we can trust you, Doctor
To rescue humanity
When we’re under attack there’s one person we want to see

Doctor Doctor, whatever’s there, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
Doctor Doctor, you’re in our prayer, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
You come from so far away (Come from so far away)
We’re so glad you’re here to stay (So glad you’re here to stay)
‘Cause whatever fear we face, trust the man from space

So I’ll stick around and you know that I will never quit

When we’re under attack there’s one person we want to see

Doctor Doctor, how we need you, a-ha, Doctor Doctor                       
Doctor Doctor, you know it’s true, a-ha, Doctor Doctor
You keep saving earth from harm
Our enemies you disarm
And no matter where you are, you're our saviour
In your special blue box

Virgin Queen - !!!NEW!!!

And another:

Dancing Queen Virgin Queen not by ABBA 

Ooh
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
 

Although I was born a princess
I soon found myself in distress
Mother was executed
Forsook to the world
Just because I was a girl
After dad and Edward died
Had to show was on Mary’s side
Nearly got executed
But escaped that fate
Then I waited to succeed
And then eventually

I am the Virgin Queen
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry

That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
 

I’ve fought so hard, to get the throne
Determined I will rule alone
Though I’ll look for a husband
I will stay unwed
‘Cause I have learnt my lesson
And now my time’s begun

I am the Virgin Queen             
Pure and clean
No in-between
Virgin Queen
To hist’ry
That is how I’m seen, oh yeah
I will rule
Will survive
Had to fight all of my life
I’m now on top
Of the scene
I am the Virgin Queen
I am the Virgin Queen

Honey, Honey, Honey - !!!NEW!!!

I can't believe I didn't think of this parody before - it seems so obvious when you listen to the lyrics. (But then again why would you think of mixing ABBA with Winnie the Pooh?)


Money, Money, Money Honey, Honey, Honey not by ABBA
I know for me that life is good, here in the Hundred Acre Wood
With my friends
But I cannot help how I feel – my mind’s always on my next meal
Never ends
In my dreams it’s all I see
It haunts my ev’ry fantasy
So I will seek it ev’ry day, my need will never go away...

Honey, honey, honey
It’s not funny
It is my whole world
Honey, honey, honey
Soft and runny
It is my whole world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I would do
Just to get a little honey
It is my whole world

A lot of that is hard to find but I can't get it off my mind
Silly (old) bear
And if I happened ‘pon a bee I bet he wouldn't share with me
So unfair
All that I try, all that I do
Is just to get a lick or two
It might seem dumb to be this way, it’s how I choose to spend my day...

Honey, honey, honey
It’s not funny
It is my whole world
Honey, honey, honey
Soft and runny
It is my whole world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I would do
Just to get a little honey
It is my whole world

Honey, honey, honey
It’s not funny
It is my whole world
Honey, honey, honey
Soft and runny
It is my whole world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I would do
Just to get a little honey
It is my whole world

It is my whole world

I Have A Plan - !!!NEW!!!

Today a re-imagining of the Mamma Mia classic 'I Have A Dream' as if written by the original Ghostbusters when facing Gozer atop the skyscraper. Enjoy!


I Have A Dream I Have A Plan not by ABBA
I have a plan, a way to win
To tell you how I have to sing
If you see what I see standing way up there
You might think that we can’t defeat this nightmare
I believe in teamwork
Something that has gotten us to this
I believe in teamwork
And it’s now important we don’t miss
We'll cross the streams – to save the team

I have a plan, it’s plain to see
To help us save reality
And the world’s salvation makes it all worthwhile
Defeating this danger doing so in style
I believe in teamwork
Something that has gotten us to this
I believe in teamwork
And it’s now important we don’t miss
We’ll cross the streams – to save the team
We’ll cross the streams – to save the team

I have a plan, a way to win
To tell you how I have to sing
If you see what I see standing way up there
You might think that we can’t defeat this nightmare
I believe in teamwork
Something that has gotten us to this
I believe in teamwork
And it’s now important we don’t miss
We'll cross the streams – to save the team
We’ll cross the streams – to save the team
