This gets stuck in my head each time the band plays Rock n' Roll at my daughter's high school football games. I'm the only one there singing along "Dr Whooo-ooo, Ahh, Dr Whooo!"
When this was still playing before the Americans were clued up, my friends and I were in the stands singing, “Gary Glitter, he’s a nonce! Gary Glitter, shags your kids!”
After a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game I stopped in a place called Chauncy’s in the Southside. This song came on and the dance floor was packed! I had to ask the DJ “what the hell is this?”
this song was recorded in the 90's it is a remake of and using samples from a recording created in 1963 so more like 50 years ahead of its time. it's almost like Delia Derbyshire could have been a time traveler. ruclips.net/video/75V4ClJZME4/видео.html
@Mike Girard It's a hell of a lot weirder than that. When you're talking about a producer who believes in a giant invisible rabbit, the dreams of Carl Jung, arguably inspired future Doctor Who collaborators like Alan Moore, and literally set a million pounds on fire... even the KLF themselves didn't really know what they were actually doing.
Sitting at work, this popped in my head & now i cant stop playing it & jiggling around. 😂 Bloody brilliant! Where are the nightclubs that play the great 80s dance mixes these days, its time for a resurgence.
@@jorgeldejesus8465 Nothing wrong with the actor. Everything wrong with the writing. Doctor Who scripts have been steadily becoming more garbage with this recent series. Trying to keep viewers with the female doctor stunt merely meant the doctor being female is what got the blame instead of the shithouse writing. Or maybe I'm remembering the Doctor Who of my childhood through rose-coloured glasses and Doctor Who scripts were always that trash...

1988 a soft more year in music and just about anything else in that era!! Wish I could back to a better time and place. Listening to this makes me happy and is a great source of therapy for me!!!

Utterly brilliant from the The Timelords (KLF) - only Bill Drummond, Danny Cauty and friends could produce a tune of this quality. Respect to the person who has put this on! :)
@@djcie1018 Nice one mate! I used to go to a club called Top of the Town in mid, late 80s and it had suspended floors which used to be massive bass enhancers and this track felt like an earthquake! Love the Dalak scratching on the 12". Such great times.
"We obey no one." They never obeyed any one who was not Dalek. Daleks were a military based culture and had a hierarchy class system. Then there were the Cult of Skaro who did not follow any orders. I do believe it was Dalek Sec who said "We obey no one."
a band apart, so far ahead of their time that no no one had a clue. The White album was my first cd and and I stll cherish it at the age age of nearly 50
i recall stomping at the kitchen club in Miami circa 1988 to this track in a small smoke filled room that smelled of incense with many random freaks, ah nostalgia,
Funny you mention 23 as a number. 23 has a long history in JAMS/Timelords/KLF/K Foundation.... This i taken from KLF WIKI:The number 23, significant within numerology, is a theme of Illuminatus!, where instances of the number are both overtly and surreptitiously placed. Similarly, an abundance of such occurrences were deposited throughout Drummond and Cauty's collective output, for example:In lyrics to the song "Next" from the album 1987: "23 years is a mighty long time".In periods of time: for instance, they reportedly signed a contract preventing either of them from publicly discussing the burning of a million pounds for a period of 23 years;[83] their 1997 return as 2K was "for 23 minutes only".[84]In numbering schemes: for instance, the debut single "All You Need Is Love" took the catalogue number JAMS 23, while the final KLF Communications Information Sheet was numbered 23; and Cauty's Ford Galaxie police car had on its roof the identification mark 23.In significant dates during their work: for instance, a rare public appearance by The KLF, at the Liverpool Festival of Comedy, was on 23 June 1991; they announced the winner of the K Foundation award on 23 November 1993;[85] and they burned one million pounds on 23 August 1994.[60]
I remember when this was new, I was the only Dr Who fan many of my friends knew, so they asked me where the Dr Who sounds samples were from. Back then, sci-fi was for geeks and it was NOT something to be proud of then. Sci-Fi cons were something low-key and only known within the hobby back then. Oh, how times have changed!
The Manual is simply a must-read for anyone interested to get into the music and even film industry. A lot of things are outdated but the universal concepts are still there.
Thought of as a bit of a joke when it came out. Fusion of 70s and 80s music is superb, along with a tv classic. Listening out for the different songs used for it, makes it a multi layered masterpiece. Glam rock, a bit of 80s comedy, and a great beat. Could play it at any current dance venue.
How come no-one has mentioned The Sweet and "Blockbuster" ? The song is brilliant as it takes a terrace chant, a classic TV show, the Daleks commands and a glam-rock beat. Along with Ten Pole Tudor's "Swords of a Thousand Men" it should be played at Wembley before every England game.
Well, one problem is the fact it also includes some of Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll (Parts I & II)". I doubt anybody would appreciate it being played seeing the Gary Glitter connection.
Yes it was great that they incorporated the intro from 'Blockbuster' by 'The Sweet' but sadly two of them have now left us. RIP Brian Connolly and Steve Priest
Remember this being a big Number 1 in 1988 in the UK ... A Novelty record based on a joke, which like many turned out to be 100 per cent accurate. At the time Sylvester McCoy was dragging Classic Who out through its final agonising death throes and the show was a bit of a joke anyway, so it was all the funnier I guess.. As a fan of the show it always brought many images to mind as it played in the background of every shop, pub and train station ... One in particular that didn't make all that much sense until this year 2020 when all was revealed ... and perhaps that is the biggest laugh of them all! Thanks for putting up this rare to find 12 inch .... Much appreciated!
As well as people commenting on this being a sample from a Gary Glitter track, there is also a strong vibe in here from a 70's band called The Sweet "Blockbuster"
It is from 1972 Gary Glitters "Rock and Roll" - Part 1. Written by Mike Leander(Michael George Farr) and ofc. Sweet samples. But no one seems to notice that the Vocal Samples are taken from the Doctor Who Series (The Tardis) that starts in 1963. All that makes no different, this is one of the songs that leads to ACID/ACID House/TECHNO/Industrial and many more genres.
I remember when I saw this record on a comic store and a friend later showed me the video, but he steadfastly REFUSED to believe me when I told him the cover said it was made by a car...
God, I bought this as a 7" single 30 yrs ago (I still have it too ;-) ); I never realised later on, until an hour ago that they were the brilliant KLF, or that they were still touring either!!

This has samples of _BlockBuster!_ by The Sweet and is set to the tune of _Rock n' Roll (pt.2)_ by Gary Glitter. *The Timelords:* (AKA "JAM", AKA "KLF") _Lord Rock_ (Jimmy Cauty, AKA "Rockman Rock") _Time Boy_ (Bill Drummond, AKA "King Boy D") _Ford Timelord_ (1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Police Special) Bicolor black-and-white paint job.

As a teen back in the 80's our local dance club played this all the time. As a Doctor Who fan I got a particular kick out of watching the other kids dance to a song that most didn't realize was inspired by a british sci-fi series.
all my love too all the doctors god bless each and every one that mad the successful life styles they made it all too the top once again all the best too you all with all my love too everyone god bless all thank you all my love too you all
Er - imaginative!?! There's a huge Sweet sample plus a huge Gary Glitter sample with the theme from Dr. Who going on over the top. Gary Glitter even does lead vocal on this!! How does that make it any more 'imaginative' than any sample-based record nowadays!?!
I was away from the tube for a while but I downloaded the last season of the Doctor. Awesome ending! Then I came across this amped up version of the theme song and had to have it! You guys rock!
because the song was made as a demonstration how to make a #1 hit the easy way... they actually wrote a book on it and this was to show they weren't talking BS, you could really do it. (at least one other act in Europe also used the book method to make their #1 hit Edelweiss
Ah, thanks! I have to take some question about it being a 1966 model though; The UK Reg. No. (or License Plate for US and Canada) given to it is WGU 18G, meaning it's a 1968 car (1 August 1968 - 31 July 1969). I realise it's an import of course, but I'm sure they'd have had to give the date of it's original reg. and/or build in the USA to the DVLA, otherwise it would have been issued with a "Q" Reg. No. (A "Q" Reg. No. is used when the date of reg. and/or build can't be proven)

I get " Spiritual chills" listening to this one of the best UK Bands Timelord & Klf
Superb...say no more.
2024 ???
rhythm is awesome too!
This was an absolute floor packer in the mid to late '80s.
This checks out.
I just typed this very same sentiment above. It sure was.
I first heard this yesterday on the way home on the radio in the car so i had it blasting in town xD
This has samples of _BlockBuster!_ by The Sweet and is set to the tune of _Rock n' Roll (pt.2)_ by Gary Glitter.
*The Timelords:* (AKA "JAM", AKA "KLF")
_Lord Rock_ (Jimmy Cauty, AKA "Rockman Rock")
_Time Boy_ (Bill Drummond, AKA "King Boy D")
_Ford Timelord_ (1968 Ford Galaxie 500 Police Special) Bicolor black-and-white paint job. The front wheelguards have "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" in white text, the "KLF" ( _Kopyright Liberation Front_ , _Kings of the Low Frequencies_ ) logo on the hood and trunk, and the JAM ( _Justified Ancients of Mu-Mu_ ) "Pyramid Blaster" logo on the side of the front doors.
This was and is awesome. A great mash-up and a good dose of tongue in cheek humour too.
This track paced dance floors for years. You had to be there. If you missed it, you missed it. We had a lot of fun.
As a teen back in the 80's our local dance club played this all the time. As a Doctor Who fan I got a particular kick out of watching the other kids dance to a song that most didn't realize was inspired by a british sci-fi series.
💀It’s scary. KLF songs somehow still resonates deeply in my bones. And I have my younger brother to thank for that! Still soooooo amazingly great❗️
Caramba finalmente encontrei esse som...fez parte de minha adolescencia...nostalgia total.. mais de 25 anos no tunel do tempo
eu também procurei muito, achei , finalmente!!!!!!!!!!
Não sou dessa época mas assisti, os últimos 3 doctor

all my love too all the doctors god bless each and every one that mad the successful life styles they made it all too the top once again all the best too you all with all my love too everyone god bless all thank you all my love too you all
frikin awesome - this takes me back, i miss real decent imaginative bands - not like all this copy cat crap that we hear now.
YOU ROCK KLF
Er - imaginative!?! There's a huge Sweet sample plus a huge Gary Glitter sample with the theme from Dr. Who going on over the top. Gary Glitter even does lead vocal on this!! How does that make it any more 'imaginative' than any sample-based record nowadays!?!
Klf rocks you're absolutely right
they wrote a book describing how easy this was to do... I wouldn't call them Creative, but synical geniuses
DAAMN' RIGHT!!
I don't think you understand the massive hypocrisy of your comment. Objectively this is a piece of trash.
Ahhhh the Timelords, fledgling K.L.F ! This brings back memories, pumping out the old Alpine tape deck in my old Datsun stanza 1800
love this song. my favorite in 1992 I guess :-) thank you for sharing
Augustin T. Obrien Caceres , this song came out in 1988. And it was FABULOUS!
@@MrAlanjames1 in those years, it still took 4 years delay to reach me, the same way as your comment! lol
I was away from the tube for a while but I downloaded the last season of the Doctor. Awesome ending! Then I came across this amped up version of the theme song and had to have it! You guys rock!
why do all of the critics hate this song so much? it's so epic!
because the song was made as a demonstration how to make a #1 hit the easy way... they actually wrote a book on it and this was to show they weren't talking BS, you could really do it. (at least one other act in Europe also used the book method to make their #1 hit Edelweiss
Eu curti esta música, no meu tempo e ainda ouço, saudades tempo bom🎉
How to make a #1 single the easy way!
I don't know WHO you are. I don't know WHERE you are. But I thank you for posting this mix in all its glory! It still graces my iPod!
Bosh Bosh Bosh, loads of Money!
Gather moss! 😂
Hi FORD i like your styling very much rust and dent's very beautyful!!!. The song is also beautyful!!!.
My personal favorite version of this song.
Wow i had a blast from the past when i use to dance to this. i still can dance to it lol..AWESOME to listen to this again🌹🍒
Ah, thanks!
I have to take some question about it being a 1966 model though; The UK Reg. No. (or License Plate for US and Canada) given to it is WGU 18G, meaning it's a 1968 car (1 August 1968 - 31 July 1969). I realise it's an import of course, but I'm sure they'd have had to give the date of it's original reg. and/or build in the USA to the DVLA, otherwise it would have been issued with a "Q" Reg. No. (A "Q" Reg. No. is used when the date of reg. and/or build can't be proven)
The 80s and the 90s best music ever.
