[net.tv.drwho] Dr. Who song and Scarf

johnc@dartvax.UUCP (John Cabell) (01/05/84)

  Can anyone tell me what the Dr.'s song is?  I have been told
that the song we know of wasn't origianaly(sp) made as the
theme song of the dr.who show.  Does anyone know what it really
is, or if I'm wrong?
  Also, what colors make up Tom Bakers origianal (sp) scarf?
Is it the wine or the brown one?
  Thanx in advance,

What song?

A song has NEVER been used as the theme for Dr. Who.  The theme
has always been music synthesized by the BBC Radiophonics Department.

  Sorry, I guess I said song when I meant music.  The
music played at the beginning of the show was used somewhere
else, not as the theme music, if my friend is right.  Can
anyone tell what that use was?

The Dr. Who theme song is by Ron Grainer, who I'm sure you will all
remember also wrote the theme for "The Prisoner".

	There has existed for at least two years a "filksong" (fan written
	and performed) featuring Doctor Who and using the tune of "My
	Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music".  The only line that I
	remember goes as follows:

		"grubby white bag full of bright colored candy".

		Does anyone out there have a complete version that they
		could post?  I think the readers of this newsgroup would 
		enjoy it.
