Warning: Contains: Doctor Who and earworms.
In 2008 (?), the Webcomic "xkcd" posted this: xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel. I didn't (and still don't) have cable television, so although I enjoyed the strip, I didn't understand the full reference. Didn't take me long to find the original ad on YouTube, though:
And then, someone made a Doctor Who fanvid of it:
Well, the other day, this fanvid showed up in my YouTube recommendations:
I couldn't make out, in vid, whether the lyrics were "I just won't know" or "I just won't go." so I checked out the original music video (I think it's "know" ??). But in any case, I liked that, too, for being pro-fun, and all:
('cause sometimes I need to remember there's more to dreaming than nightmares, and there's more to the "Real World" than news of crisis and catastrophe)

Date: 2014-06-24 09:43 am (UTC)I first saw the DW fanvid about a week ago, actually. But when the song got stuck in my head as I was getting ready for bed, night before last, I realized it was something I had to look up and share.
And frankly, as is usual with these things, the fanvid actually tells the story in the song a little more clearly than the artist's original vision... Or, at least, it tells a different story. I think I must have laughed out loud at the match-up of visual and lyric "I don't wanna go." XD
