Another Barrowman item...

[fajrdrako]

I love it when we get canonical slash. And I love it when actors slash their own roles.

John Barrowman, in his current concert tour in the UK, has been singing a song called The Doctor and I - basically a slash filk based on "The Wizard and I" from Wicked.

I love it; not just because it's my favourite pairing, but because Barrowman did it. And if anyone can find me a link to the whole song, it would be terrific.

The Doctor and I

When I meet the Doctor,
Once I prove my worth,
And then I meet the Doctor
What I've waited for since birth.
And with all his Doctor wisdom,
By my looks, he won't be blinded.
Do you think the Doctor is dumb?
Or, like Oods he's so small-minded? No!
He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are - Jack
A man on whom I can rely!"
And that's where we'll begin
The Doctor and I:

Once I'm with the Doctor
My whole life will change
'Cuz once you're with the Doctor
No one thinks you're strange!
No father's not proud of you,
No sister acts ashamed
And all of time has to love you
When by the Doctor, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand -
The Doctor and I!

And one day, he'll say to me,
"Jack my boy, a man who is so superior,
Shouldn't a man who's so good inside
Have a different exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris.
Would it be all right by you
If I defabricate you?"

And though of course,
That's not important to me.
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Doctor and I;
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Doctor and...

Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But someday there'll be
A celebration throughout time
That's all to do with me!

And I'll stand there with the Doctor,
Feeling things I've never felt.
And though I'd never show it,
I'll be so happy, I could melt!
And so it will be
For the rest of my life,
And I'll want nothing else
Till I die.
Held in such high esteem.
When people see me, they will scream
For half of TV's favorite team;
The Doctor And I

I have his very first improv of it, in which he barely changes the lyrics at all, just the ones that relate to gender and name. If you want that I think it's still up in the http://unfaithful-mirror.net/random/ folder...

Yeah, I thought this was great when I ran across a clip (sorry, dunno where to find a full link . . .). John Barrowman is such a wonderful fanboy -- all the more reason to love him. :D

Actually, I just took a look and found a link:

I love it when he gets into the spirit of the show. It just makes it all the better.
