Every once in a while I think about

the KLF, otherwise known as the JAMS, otherwise known

as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu but mostly I think about that one single they released

as the Timelords, ostensibly with a new member of the group known as Ford Timleord - a custom 1968 Ford Galaxie that was listed as one of the artists on the album

Anyway I think about Ford Timelord every once in a while

Thanks to the Rev. Another Bondi Blonde for reminding me of this -- which I'm pretty sure I heard on Dr. Demento.

[penny-anna]

completely unrelated but we watched the small soldiers trailer last night bcos of reasons and i got made fun of for asking if the backing music is doctorin the tardis by KLF even tho no-one else knew the actual name of the song either

[ostolero]

I admire the klf recognizing that doctorin the tardis would be a hit but they didn't want to be associated with their names

*I always liked that the Car was the Lead Singer! lol  #TheTimelords - #DoctorinTheTardis #DoctorWhoDay!*

Doctorin’ the Tardis" is a 1988 electronic novelty pop single by the Timelords (“Time Boy” and “Lord Rock”, aliases of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, better known as The KLF). The song is predominantly a mash-up of the Doctor Who theme music and Gary Glitter’s “Rock and Roll (Part Two)” with sections from “Blockbuster!” by Sweet. The single was not well received by critics but was a commercial success, hitting number one on the UK and New Zealand singles charts, and reaching the top 10 in Australia, Finland, Ireland and Norway.** Credit for the “Talent” behind the song was attributed not to Drummond (Time Boy) and Cauty (Lord Rock) but to “Ford Timelord”, Cauty’s 1968 Ford Galaxie American police car!

Cauty and Drummond claimed that Ford gave them instructions on how to make the record. Ford featured prominently on the sleeve of “Doctorin’ the Tardis”, where he is quoted as saying “Hi! I’m Ford Timelord. I’m a car, and I’ve made a record”, and “…I mixed and matched some tunes we all know and love, got some mates down and made this record. Sounds like a hit to me”. Promotion of the single centered around Ford Timelord who was even “interviewed” on television.

Cover of the 7 inch single for The Timelords "Doctorin' the Tardis", KLF Communications, May 1988.

This was a one off novelty record by the KLF under the name The Timelords which was created when the group were going to make a house record using the Doctor Who theme song, but discovered it only worked using beats sounding very much like Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2". Giving up on their original plan, they decided to make a novelty record incorporating not only the Doctor Who theme with the Gary Glitter song, but also sampling The Sweet's "Block Buster!". In addition the song uses the catchphrase from Harry Enfield's comedy character Loadsamoney and the "You what?" chant from Steve Walsh's "I Found Lovin'", both distorted to sound like a Dalek.

Not wanting to put their image to the song, the duo decided to use Cauty's 1968 Ford Galaxie American police car, formerly known as the JAMsmobile, as the "frontman", renaming it Ford Timelord. In one TV media appearance, the car was actually interviewed (which was in reality Drummond via a microphone). Cauty and Drummond also claimed that Ford gave them instructions on how to make the record.

Hated by the music press, the single went to number one for one week exactly in the UK in June 1988 as well toping the charts in New Zealand, reaching number 2 in Australia and and also reaching the top 10 in Belgium, Finland, Ireland and Norway. Buoyed by the single's success, Cauty and Drummond cashed in further by rerecording and rereleasing the single with new vocals from Gary Glitter himself. In 1989, the KLF released a book, The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way), which Austrian dance music group Edelweiss used as a template to produce their number one hit single, "Bring Me Edelweiss".

Fun fact Doctorin' The Tardis was released under the name The Timelords and was fronted by an American police car called Ford Timelord

In actuality it was by the KLF who are famous for burning a million pounds, dumping a dead sheep at the BRIT awards afterparty and many other stunts.

Here's a video of an interview with Ford Timelord if u are interested

oh awesome! i think ive heard a vauge story about a band burning a million pounds but they sounds brilliant hehe thank you :]

look if you think 2012 doctor who fandom was cringey, that’s nothing. in 1985, when the show was on a hiatus and it looked like it might cancelled, people got together to release a charity single about how the bbc should bring back the doctor called doctor in distress, and it’s one of the worst things i’ve ever listened to with my own two ears
