- The Timelords (AKA The KLF, The Jams, et al) and their 12-inch version of "Doctorin' The Tardis", which they claimed was recorded by Ford Timelord, their 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 V8 ex-American Police Car!
How can you NOT like this song? The 1980’s at its best.
Oh thought 3 yrs old only. No wonder I like.
THE Tardis
Yeah you have to love Gary glitter as well oh wait hahaha
@@Flukey_1970 Here we go
I hadn’t listened to this in like 30 years but am now convinced it’s one of the best I’ve ever heard
Still brilliant in 2020 and I am 72 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Doctor decided to rock out, this is the song he would be rocking out too. LONG LIVE THE DOCTOR!!!!
I agree with that too long live the Timelord

All it's missing are the Joker Stairs and you're all set
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!”
This needs to be played as intro music for every Doctor Who convention. :)
This should be the main theme of the new Doctor who, when BBC cancel the clusterf..k of the she who of 2018

Expect a Joker cosplayer dancing to the beat at 1:46
@@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...

Never noticed the Ford Prefect/Ford Timelord Joke until now
I remember watching a Detroit Pistons game on TV. When they were The Bad boys. This was played on a timeout. I went to the mall the next day and found the CD. I was home on leave from the Army I was stationed in West Germany. Great Memories
You might know my dad. My dad was on leave in the army from West German in the 90s. He served with 26 Royal Artillery Regiment.
It doesn't matter how embarrassed about it you are, if you love Doctor Who, you know you love this song.
yesterday i say a bumper sticker on a car that said my other car is a tardis i got a kick out of it
I own this LP and I am Proud of it!

How long is the music in total?
Cool Music Dr who
So what ?So what ?So what ?
Dude!!!!
"a record so noxious that a top ten place can be its only destiny" Sounds Magazine, 1988.
God, I remember hearing this in the club early 90's. I feel ancient, lol.
lol they played this exact tune in clubs back then? next time im gonna try to get a DJ to play this at a bar somewhere
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?”
@@johnchief270 Try late 80's! This started circulating the more mainstream dance clubs in 1988
@ImaginarilyInc
Indeed, you are an old decrepit grandad. A damn waste of space.
As a yank with confirmed case of Anglophilia, the KLF (in all their incarnations) were the ultimate slice of dj culture. Plus the good Doctor came on the same year I was born, so this tune still means a lot to me. Thanks,
One Love
What a classic. Oddly, I know of no other person who is even aware of this song’s existence. Happy to see all the other commenters here
i rember when when i was little kid back in the late 70s early 80s watching this show i was afraid of the daliks but now i am adicted to the show
This is almost 20 years ahead of its time. This sampling is as common as these days. One of the original masterpieces of the 80s
+Horizon50Red Don't forget about M/A/R/R/S.with "Pump up the volume", but yeah you are right.
Don't forget The Art of Noise
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. ua-cam.com/video/75V4ClJZME4/v-deo.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.
Sampling was common in the 80s
This WILL be played at my wedding some day, and if it isn't then I am obviously marrying the wrong person.
I agree. I hope you are well and I say hi from nine years in the future. Take care
@@Meh-ty7siI'm sure the klf are from the future, they stopped ✋️ at the eighties to show us how music 🎶 should really sound 👍😎👍 🙏❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️🙏Nov twenty two
😁 Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best comment ever seen on youtube
I look after u Robin play this our wedding if it happens xxxxx I am looking 4 right woman 2 love 💕 me
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!
Heard Bass-o-Matic on the radio tonight, came home to listen to some music and ended up here. What a great night!
I like blocks because, I'M A BLAWK
Fascinating Rhythm ❤
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.
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!!! TIME LORDS/KLF are never gone nor forgetten!! An army still still waits for a musical revolutionary redemption that may never come?! But I still wait regardless!!!!
YUP STILL WAITING IN 2021 KLF ROCK!!!
Yes!!!!!! I was about 16 when this came out, had (have?) the cassette single and played often on our basketball trips
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.
No Daleks were exterminated durring the making of this track!
Ahh 1988 so few of us in America were up on Dr. Who back then!! Saturday mornings on Ch 9 WWOR and Saturday evenings on NJTV Ch's 23; 50; 52 & 58 way back in the late 70's thru the late 80's!! Good times!!
Agreed - I had no knowledge of the show but danced my ass off to this mix at the clubs.
Was watching Iowa Public Television late on December 1992 night when they were showing a Jon Pertwee episode. Slowly fell in love with it.
Had this on 12" vinyl as a lad. Loved it then. Still love it now.
The 23 beings who disliked this were Daleks.
No, the cyber men, the daleks wouldn't dislike anything having to do with themselves
Ha..."Exterminate...Delete"...."They Will Be Upgraded"...
Can you blame them. Lol
23 Sea Devil's got passed off that they weren't mentioned anywhere throughout the track.
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]
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! :)

Don't laugh but those Dalek voices just sent shivers down my spine!
Lady to The Timelords/Jams/KLF: "Are you the police?"
The Timelords/Jams/KLF: "No, ma'am, we're not sure what we are."
Possibly anyhow!! :)
One of the best tracks ever made!
A primeira vez que escutei esse som... Estava na fila do brinquedo do Playcenter... Todos começaram a dançar... Putz... Muita lembrança...
Só assim pra aguentar aquelas filas de horas... E tinha que levar o lanche na mochila pra ir comendo... Um dos melhores momentos da minha vida... E pensar que isso já pertence ao século passado...
Fomos uma geração privilegiada...
Agradeço muito a Deus por ter nascido nessa época...
4:08 is Davros shouting at the Daleks after they turned against him " YOU WILL OBEY ME" The Daleks reply "WE OBEY THE ONE"
dont care if its cheesy i love esp the drum and the block buster remix
I F***in absolutely love this and everything else they do, genuine genius X
Welcome to the 80's💙💙
God bless the best music ever.. The only the unique KLF
Hey this track was popular in the underground of Spain club's, specially in Valencia's province. I miss that time. What a fucking great time
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,
KLF - GOAT
Played this in a porta potty
Its now a Tardis
Don't you mean a T.U.R.D.I.S.
Still so damn good after all these years. x
This is scary. I was just a pup when I first heard this. Was love at first Dilek.
The music still holds!
So F*cking great this one one of the best sampled hits ever made...YO WHAT YO WHAT...
Been a long time since I heard this, now I want to listen to it non stop
Holy crap this takes me back! Love it!
i still have the orgainal record for this from 1988 un scratched in mimt hehe
While acknowledging the now-highly undesirable Gary Glitter element in this track, I have to say...
You lucky little sod!! :P
me too!! ;)
qoaa No bloody way, he's a pile of crap!
Me too. The 33 single
I had the cassette so there..
Eu curti esta música, no meu tempo e ainda ouço, saudades tempo bom🎉
8:16 Mark! 10K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: Aha! It finally occurs to me that with music videos such as this one with only one visual image to see, frees the listener to set the device down and dance! (Or, with a desktop PC, it would be immobile anyway!) 🎉
WONDERFUL sampling of Sweet's 'Blockbuster', Gary Glitter's 'Rock 'N Roll Part 2' & The Doctor Who theme...could it get any better?!?! NO!
Correct
could it be considered one of the first mashup records?
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
Highly recommend the documentary "Who Killed the KLF?" for anyone interested in why this and its accompanying manual (How To Have a Number One the Easy Way) are actually brilliant works of satire. Massive send-up to the music industry and Top of the Pops.
This track can't be fully appreciated and understood without reading the KLF's book "The Manual"
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.
Long live the k foundation 23
1000%
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"
As far as I'm concerned, this is its own song.
They sample it during the intro
@@georgemiser what do you mean? this is almost 100% samples
i'm surprised no one talks about how Sweets Blockbuster sounds like Bowie's Jean Genie!
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.
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

Superb...say no more.
rhythm is awesome too!
I get " Spiritual chills" listening to this one of the best UK Bands Timelord & Klf
You rock KLF! For so many years...
Ford Prefect is a future version of the doctor, trapped without his TARDIS. Arthur Dent is his companion.
By karumba.....hey!!..i love that. Five-0 car..🚨1968 ford galaxie..same year i was born..07/07/ 68
This is seriously awesome. Great club track in late 80s. Loud and mad! I have this 12" vinyl myself.
Same mate, I still drop this classic in my set today and is always a winner..
@@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.
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
Just found this on vinyl used and I am sooo excited. From germany and a massive Whovian. In the late 80s I was still a kid and we didn't get much or any of Doctor Who in Germany then sadly. But now I celebrate anything I can find. Love esp the classics!!! This is sooo insane good!!! Play it and read to the virgin new adventures mheanwile..or prepare my cosplay Performance for stage in my room... such a great music and vibes...Doctor Whoooooo Doctor Whoo!!
💀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❗️
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...
Love KLF could never tire of listening to you'se, over the years xxxxx.
I still have this 12" 🤘👀🤘
2023!!! Still flying my TARDIS
I have been looking for this song for nearly six years....
Indy Mathews Same here. Never remembered where I heard it. Was just watching "The 4th Company and hey presto. There it was.
Nice powerful energy sound.
Timeless, awesome...
"For the foreseeable future, there will be no further record releases from any past, present or future name attached to our activities."
Taken fr. KLF Communcations News release...May 1992.
This is still an absolute GEM!
Bosh Bosh Bosh, loads of Money!
Gather moss! 😂
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!
Oh, The KLF. Trollin' before there was 4chan!
Oh yes captain stingray it bill drummond klf
KLF were well ahead of there time.
They burned a pallet of one million pounds as a statement.
4chan never knew this level of satisfaction. That's why 4chan is 4chan. Like not knowing how to stroke your own dick.
Вивакэйэлэф
You consider this "trolling before 4chan?" My guy, the best example of trolling will always be Greenland/Iceland. The earliest, however, would probably be the Trojan Horse.
How to make a #1 single the easy way!
i love the background doo wee ooo
1:07
❤ banging
Love this song absolutely awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 🥁🎸🎤🎶🎹 and love eighties music and songs xxxx
There were many remixed records around at the time but I think that this was one of the better ones.
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!!
An occult approach.. an undeniable fkn banger whatever cosmos you're in
read the book, a genius piece of pop culture magick
The song of my teenage years. Simply A W S O M E.
Glad you like it! :)
Good stuff, huge KLF fan here. :)
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.
I wish people would get over it. He was Gary Glitter ffs! Not Michael Jackson.
.
malwill54 ooh rah ooh rah ay! Over the hills with the swords of a 1000 meeeeeen!!! :)
Perfect song for today.
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
tremendo tema de mi sere favorita INCREIBLE
Poor things have never flown before and it looks like they NEVER will xxxx
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
My personal favorite version of this song.
Use to have this cassette.
Thanks Delia Derbyshire!
Great song this still is. Love the Blockbuster sample from the Sweet, which really makes the groove
I LOVE this! One of my favourite songs, now!
this is played on skaro during dalek bootcamp,
klf is gunna Rock you
Sheer brilliance! I remember watching this on TOTP when I was a kid...
only just found out, but this was filmed on the road where I lived years ago on an old airfield in Yatesbury, Wiltshire! Spooky!
What a Song!!!! 2021 :)
still got this one laying around here as 12 inch...
