“THE DOCTOR“ Hamilton Style Song Parody (Doctor Who: A Gallifreyan Musical)

If “Hamilton: An American Musical“ was about Doctor Who instead, it would open with this musical number titled “The Doctor“. This music video mashes a fan written song to the tune of “Alexander Hamilton“ with clips from the entire history of Doctor Who on screen so far. Sit back, pretend you’re on Broadway, and learn about our favorite Time Lord. (see below for lyrics) Premiered live in 2017 during the Idiot’s Lantern sketch comedy show at the Los Angeles Doctor Who convention, Gallifrey One. Watch the entire show here: SONG AND VIDEO CREDITS- Parody & video conceived and written by: Alexander Daniels Recorded, mixed, and edited (audio & video) by: Scott Sebring Vocalists: Melissa Bierend, Alexander Daniels, Adam Joseph Ferry, Cooper Karn, Kevin Kittridge, Amanda Jane Salmon Original “Alexander Hamilton“ written by Lin-Manuel Miranda Backing Track courtesy of “THE DOCTOR“ LYRICS- How does a madman, ignored, son of a human and a Time Lord, dropped in the middle of a forgotten Spot within the far-flung constellation of Casterborous, dejected, Grow up to be a hero and respected? The Oncoming Storm, the Bringer of Darkness He started his journey By stealin’ a type 40, By fighting the Daleks’ war, he was writing their whole story Before tea, when Cybermen tarnished his shot at glory. And then one day when Zoe and Jamie were swept way Away, joined in the fray, they struggled to keep their guard up The foes that they fought were no match for our cosmic hobo, The brother was ready to beg, steal, barter, or borrow. Then the Time Lords came, and devastation reigned Our man saw his future drip, drippin’ down the drain “Too much interference” they said, “you cannot refrain, So on Earth you must remain,” No TARDIS to ease his pain Well then UNIT came around, they said, “This kid is insane, mack!” Made him an advisor ‘till the Time Lords gave his keys back “We gave you education, don’t forget from whence you came And nobody knows your name! What’s your name, man?“ FOURTH DOCTOR: My name is The Doctor. I say that my name is The Doctor. I’ve seen a million worlds, but there are more, So just you wait, just you wait Then they came back, the Cybermen, once again, crash a ship Some years later, the Doctor absorbed poison from the Spectrox, Half-dead, sittin’ in his own sick The scent thick. The Doctor got better, but Adric went quick. Moved on by the Val’yard, a darkness that he had kept inside, But when the evidence was falsified, with acquitted pride The voice said, “(Doctor) The Rani’s hot on your trail” He started retreatin’ and freein’ his regenerated self. There would’ve been nothin’ left to do For someone less astute He would’ve been dead or destitute When he was shot in San Francisco Tasked with movin’, removin’ the remains of the Master Pushed him in the Eye of Harmony and ran off faster. (Chasin’) the Bad Wolf throughout all of time and space before (Embracin’) vortex energy, see him as he stands at the (oooh) Console of his ship headed for a new land On New Earth you can be a new man On New Earth you can be a new man (Allons-y) On New Earth you can be a new man (Allons-y) On New Earth you can be a new man On New Earth New Earth TENTH DOCTOR: Allons-y! Your name is The Doctor (His name is the Doctor) And the Oncoming Storm are you (Oncoming Storm are you) You could never back down You never learned to take your time Oh, your name is the Doctor (His name is the Doctor) And the Silence will fall for you Will ever outrun your shame? Will the Time War destroy your name? Our world will never be the same, oh Pandorica is open now, see if you can spot him (Just you wait) He’s just a madman with a box and no one’s caught him. (Just you wait) After Lake Silencio the Universe forgot him CAPT. JACK/RORY We fought with him ADRIC: Me? I died for him THE BRIGADIER: Me? I trusted him ROSE TYLER/MARTHA JONES Me? I loved him RIVER SONG: And me? I’m the damn fool that shot him There’s a million worlds that you have seen But just you wait What’s your name, man? His name is the Doctor!
