    Filk has included rock and rap and whatever for years.

    Sorry, they got nothing on Harry and the Potters and the Hungarian Horntails. This guy actually knows how to play the guitar. Totally unacceptable. Where are the screaming ten-year-olds with tambourines?

    "Chameleon Circuit" is a great band name... Too bad that guy's voice is terrible. (should have at least invested in a chorus pedal and/or a phase shifter)


    This definitely isn't the first band to write songs based off their love for Doctor Who. There were a whole slew of Dalek novelty songs during the 60's and 70's, including "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas With A Dalek," "Dalek, I Love You," and "All I Want for Christmas is a Dalek," not to mention direct referernces in songs by The Clash, Curve, and of course, the KLF.

    @zenseeker: Aw c'mon. This is just one of many things that give fandom a bad name.
