Write a better song for Voyage of the Damned

[avevale_intelligencer]

Okay, here's something. I mentioned the lame song in the NuWho Christmas thing, and allowed as how I knew a hundred people who could do better. So, let's try.

The song is called "Stowaway," and is supposed to sound like the sort of music they'd play in steerage (actually, it sounded like a mélange of "Jesus Christ Superstar," "C'est Moi" from Camelot, and--probably intentionally--a bowdlerised "Fairytale Of New York") but I'm only looking for lyrics here: pinch a tune if you like. Post your lyrics in comments, if you feel like having a go, and let's show the NuWho team how real filkers write a song to order.

*looks at suddenly empty virtual room with one chair still spinning on one leg from the speed of its occupant's departure*

*listens to crickets*

*goes away*

You missed a requirement: The song is supposed to obliquely be about the actual situation the Doctor is in at the time it is heard, but without too obviously referring to him or the other characters.

I did, didn't I? Fair enough. Do you feel like having a go?

Well, OK, here's my replacement song:


...And that's it. Vastly preferable in every respect, IMHO. =:o}

(More seriously: I *might*, once I've finished d/l'ing the ep and re-watched the relevant section.)

This would be good. Your first entry was okay, but John Cage has already done it.
