The Lyrics
The stuff in (parenthesis) are of the background vocals singing “Baby”. At first I was annoyed, thinking “what the heck am l gonna do with that?”. But I came up with what I came up with, and I think was able to inject a little more humor to the parody than if I had just ignored them, which was my first instinct. -bas

I’m never gonna forget that day I first saw him,
Racing as fast as he could,
And as he passed me, he yelled “Better run!”
So I followed him,
And I’m happy that I did.
Now I can’t believe this adventure I’m in!
I’ve seen a lot that I thought just never could be,
Like fantastic planets, talking felines in habits,
And one time we got so scared
Because of angels that weep.
We couldn’t sleep.
Jumped into a box of blue with Doctor Who.
I’m the crew for Doctor Who!
He’s so cool! (Ain’t he?)
We watched the sun eat Earth in year five billion.
I made a lot of new friends, brought down some villains.
Doc would explain the TARDIS, and I would smile,
Joking “It’s bigger inside!”,
And then we would ride on into the stars, far out in style.
Then the Doc flips a switch – now the ship’s on the fritz.
Again it’s got to be..fixed!
The TARDIS is better than new. Ready to blaze!
I asked what T-A-R-D-I-S stands for.
He said “Time and Relative Di..mension in Space”.
An awesome place.
Where’s the loo? I wish I knew.
Ask Doctor Who.
Much to do for me and Who - Men in blue. (Navy)
Who-o-o... Who-o-o...
“Now where to? What say you?”
Asks Doctor Who,
“(Any-) Where you choose.”
Back from Satellite Five, passed by a Black Hole.
Rode the Titanic in space, then it crashed into Earth.
We outwitted the Daleks and Cybermen, too.
I can promise you
That it’s all true.
Ask Doctor Who.

Even with just the basic grasp of Doctor Who I was able to follow this rather easily and I found this to be a great tribute to a supposedly great show (I think I’ve seen less than a handful of episodes)
Excellent tribute, Brad! Matthias, you gotta watch the Christopher Eccleston or David Tennant years to really get into it---or, for old school, Tom Baker (but disregard the horrible special effects).
"The stuff in (parenthesis) are of the background vocals singing “Baby”":
That's pretty much what I often do when I want to mark something as background vocals. There are no fixed rule or rules for it, but you've probably nailed the most commonly used technique for that "solution" to a lyrics problem right off the bat.

Very nice tribute. And Matthias, I second what Agrimorfee said, I got hooked with the David Tennant (and Eccleston) years.
I don't think I've seen a whole episode, but I follow enough Whovians on Twitter to enjoy this great little tribute. I especially like how you worked in what TARDIS stands for. 555 sonic screwdrivers!
Thank you, everyone. It's cool that both the "Who!" AND the "who?" crowd can enjoy this musical tip-of-the-fedora to Doctor Who. It was cool to take an original song someone else had given us, come up with new title that might inspire a funny idea, and then work around that..in a week! It really helped to hone the lyric-writing skills, and I had fun doing it! And then, on top of that, for my fellow lyric-writers to be able to check it out and comment...priceless (the 5-star reviews and kind words don't hurt)! Again, thank you mucho. BTW, I have other stuff on this site. Check it out, if you're so inclined. (Any-) Ways..You guys rock, but I gotta roll! (okay, that was just goofy) Blessings. Brad// BTW, a cool anagram for “MILEY CYRUS” is “USE MY LYRICS”. I’d rather it was “Use My Music”, but it’s still semi-ironically cool. (I'm not sure, but YES MR I LYCU, CURE MI LYYS ["cure my lies", not "lice"] or ICY UR SMYLE don't seem to be as cool)
The last 1-star vote (so far)? Only 4? Are you sure? I have 6 more here. I WAS having fun on this site, but you kind of ruined for me. I digress: Thanks to everyone who said such nice things about my entries. If they were worthy of the votes you gave, I hope others enjoy them as well. Peace out.
Brad, what passes for the Amiright Council of Elders has clearly given you the thumbs up. You definitely have talent. So dont let one wretch ruin the thing for you. We all get the one-bombs. It's utterly meaningless; pure spite-filled nonsense. The trick is to not care about it. ...... My God, Phil Alexander was hit with a Katyusha rocket barrage of 66 one-bombs a few weeks ago .. and he's a professional stand up comedian who incorporates song parodies in his act
CML, you always come through. Agrimorfee said the same thing. Like I said in response to his encouragement, the amiright community is pretty awesome. I’ll ignore the low votes, unless I feel they’re being honest. I’ll focus on the comments. That’s really where this site shines. Thank you.
Hey Brad - definitely don't let 1-votes get to you, they *never* mean it's a bad parody, it usually means you've struck a nerve (take this one for example: http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/neilyoung10.shtml ..though probably best to avoid the comments unless you want your brain burned out by teh stoopid).. but CML is being a bit too kind, in that I'm not a professional standup. Yet :-)
But you do earn a living off your song parodies dont you, Phil?
Thanks, Phil. Appreciate the encouragement. If no one had said anything, I would've moved on, thinking I was singled out. Nice to know I'm in good company.
Hey, CML. How did you know I had gone to your entry pages? I mean, I thought people could only see comments by going back to that song, or maybe perusing the comments "column". Are those the only two options? You mentioned something about getting a link, or something (I think 25 [entries] is now the new 10). Do new comments about old entries somehow get sent to your email? Just wondering how that works. Thanks.
^^^^My steel trap logical processes just got the best of me Brad (lol) ...... I inject myself into a situation where it looks like some wretch is about to drive a newbie off the site. Next thing you know the newbie is posting comments on my threads, which show up in the Latest Comments section. And oftentimes, there are only a few comments posted in a day; which means my initials "CML" will jump out at me the instant I see the page. And yes, any comment posted on any thread, even if it's 15 years old shows up in the latest comments section
CML, If it were only me and no mortgage or children to support, I could probably make a living at it. But too many other responsibilities at the moment. Sigh. :-)
