Banner Series - Characters and Their Songs

[gondorgirl]

My sister was making a list of all the Doctors and all their companions with the songs that seem to fit them best. Since banners with songs is my specialty I decided I would make a series (super long series as you can imagine) with all of the songs. I've made four so far

The Fifth Doctor:
Softer To Me - Relient K





In watching all of dear number 5's episodes we decided that if there's a Doctor who has the worst luck in the world it would be number 5 but he rarely complains about it (despite being a bit snippy with his companions every now and then)


Turlough:
I So Hate Consequences - Relient K



I am sure that Turlough is not so fond of consequences with all that he has to deal with after making a deal with the Black Guardian, I thought this one was quite a nice find by my sister, I love this song.

Eighth Doctor:
Innocence - Avril Lavigne



As my sister said when I suggested this song, if you had to pick one word to describe the eighth Doctor it would be innocent, he regenerates all by himself and turns to Grace to help him find out who he is. His random excamations (These shoes, they fit perfectly!) and other random acts (kissing Grace for some unknown reason when he finally figures out who exactly he is) all just kind of improve on the idea. I really love this song for him.

Dodo:
Dancing Through Life - Wicked



I admit, I'm not all that fond of Dodo. But this does fit her pretty well. In the episodes I've seen it seems that Dodo is enjoying her time with the Doctor and seems to be "dancing" through her time in the TARDIS.

The next in the series: The First Doctor

Song: My Way by Frank Sinatra



And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!


If you have watched any episodes with the first doctor you can see why this song fits him perfectly. He did everything and he did it his way, treating everyone as either his grandchildren or ignorant people who needed correction. All done with a large number of "Hmm"s and his amazing "I'm only humoring you" laugh

[librarylover]

You are right, "My Way" is a great song for the First Doctor!

[jjpor]

It is indeed, and quite possibly a good song for the Doctor generally.

[Abbyromana]

These are fab! ;D I particularly love your Fivey, One, and Tulough ones.

Any chance you'll do requests? By song and/or person?

[gondorgirl]

Thanks for your comments guys, my sister really did do a good job on picking the song for the first Doctor

I certainly will do requests Abbyromana if you want me to, I'm always happy to be making graphics

the next in the series: The Second Doctor

Song: Activate by Stellar Kart



Here's the plan
I think I got it made
Life is easy
When you're sitting in the shade
Not too hot not too cold
I think that's what I'll be
Now I'm nervous
And I've come undone
My head is spinning like the earth
Around the sun
I feel you drawing me away
From my complacency

I think I'm ready to go
Don't stop 'til everybody knows
This is the purpose of my life
This is, the reason I'm alive
Don't have time to wait
Activate, activate
There's a world out there in need
Now is the time for you and me
Before it gets too late
Activate, activate

Make a move
'cause talk is really cheap
You'll never start a revolution
In your sleep
Showing love to everyone is what
It's all about
One by one everyone activate


The Second Doctor is an amazing character, having to be the first to replace another doctor he had to be a likable enough character that the show didn't just die instantly and he certainly did a good job. He is so energetic and ready to do pretty much anything and it bounces off his companions very well, they don't always know what to make of him but they trust him.

[gondorgirl]

Two more additions, these two are the least accurate on the list so I thought I'd do them now.

Sara Kingdom and Katarina





Neither of them really had much chance for character development in what I saw and apparently my sister didn't think so either, I never saw/heard all of the Dalek's Master Plan so I don't know much of what there is to know, these two are rather more of just tributes

Well, I've requests, if you feel up to them.

First, I'd love to see one for Jenny and the Tenth Doctor put to the song "Zoe Jane" by Staind. If you haven't heard the song, here's a link to the song: www.megaupload.com/?d=M8GOC0TP

Second, I'd like to see one for Leela. I'm not sure what song, so if you can think of one that fits her that would be fine with me.

Thirdly, I'd like to see one for Susan or Susan and the First Doctor. "Because of you" by Kelly Clarkson (perhaps), but if you can suggest anything else, feel free.

[gondorgirl]

I would be happy to do your request Abby, I will work on that when I have a chance (I have to get off right now) it may take a little bit since there are multiple banners but hopefully not way too long

The next in my series: The Ninth Doctor

Song: Ordinary Day by Vanessa Carlton





(I liked both versions )

Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just trying to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.

He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand.

Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you see?

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

And he said take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand,
In the palm of your hand.

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.


This song accurately fits most of the doctors (the more recent ones particularily) but I can see how it fits the ninth doctor the most, he just kind of shows up in Rose's life and takes her with him and like most companions I'm sure she thought it was amazingly magical. The part in bold is my favorite part of the song and it seems to fit him, he's kind of lonely and wants someone to share his adventures.

[gondorgirl]

Here are your requests Abby

the Doctor and Jenny


Here is Leela, with text and without




And Susan

[gondorgirl]

I took advantage of the fact that I was looking through Doctor Who pictures to add two more in my series

Here is Leela, I will not argue with the fact that my sister's choice of the song Wild Thing is fairly accurate



but Leela's pretty sweet

and here is Susan


Once again I agree with my sister that the song Wouldn't it be Loverly from My Fair Lady fits Susan pretty well from what I've heard.

Sqeee! *becomes overly kiddy* Oh, thank you! Thank you so much for these, gondorgirl. ;D

Would it be okay if I posted these on my lj and use these her on DbyA? Please?

[primsong]

How did I miss these earlier? I love this concept, putting the lyrics with them. Wild Thing totally had us laughing here - and I like the First Doctor's Sinatra snippet too, lol... Great idea. Good to see you, too!

Thanks primsong, my sister and I had fun coming up with the ideas for the songs, those two are the ones that I think fit the best as well

Yes I'm trying to be a little more active now that I've seen more Doctor Who, I've seen at least one episode from every doctor now and I love them all



Next in my banner series: Rose

Song: One in a Million by (yes I admit it) Hannah Montana



How did I get here? I turned around and there you were
I didn't think twice or rationalize
'Cause somehow I knew

That there was more that just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kind of into me
But I figured it's too good to be true

I said, "Pinch me, where's the catch this time?"
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
In the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody
Like you were a million to one
I cannot believe it, you're one in a million

All this time I was looking for love
Trying to make things work that weren't good enough
Till I thought I'm through, said, "I'm done"
And stumbled into the arms of the one

You're making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you, you come with your velvet touch

Cant believe that I'm so lucky
I have never felt so happy.
Every time I see that sparkle in your eyes

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
In the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody
Like you were a million to one
I cannot believe it, you're one in a million

All this time I was looking for love
Tryna make things work that weren't good enough
Till I thought I'm through, said, "I'm done"
And stumbled into the arms of the one

I said, "Pinch me, where's the catch this time?"
Can't find a single cloud in the sky
Help me before I get used to this guy

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
In the blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody
Like you were a million to one
I cannot believe it, yeah yeah

They say that good things take time
But really great things happen
In the blink of an eye


Thought the chances to meet somebody
Like you were a million to one
I cannot believe it, you're one in a million, yeah


One in a million, yeah
You're one in a million


My sister got the idea for this from a video I made with Rose and the Doctor to this song. I think that it does seem to fit her pretty well.




And yet another one, Steven with the song Go the Distance from Disney's Hercules



I think this one rather makes sense with the story of how Steven got in the TARDIS, (I wish I'd found a picture of the panda.... )

[gondorgirl]

The Next in the series: Nyssa

Song: Beauty from Pain - Superchick



The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive
But I feel like I died
And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God lets me walk through this place
And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how you've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

Here I am at the end of me
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to your promise
There will be a dawn

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

[primsong]

Steven! Hey, you can't go wrong with giving poor neglected Steven a bit of love, even if Hi-Fi wasn't in the picture. :-) And aw, the Nyssa one is kind of sad....

If Steven is not loved by every single Doctor Who fan he is neglected, I love Steven

It kind of is but its the happy after the sad kind of sad
