This is a labour of love: "The Doctor Sings" will I'm sure eventually fall foul of both Tom Baker and BT, but someone has taken advantage of Tom Baker's use as the company's voice of text messaging (well, until recently, anyway) and created this site which has him 'singing' various songs.

Apparently, Baker spent 11 days recording 11,593 words and phrases, and, as the Pitchfork site points out, "if you subscribe BT you can access them all, making the most famous voice in British sci-fi tell dirty jokes, flirt with your girlfriend, or in the case of "The Doctor"-- an unidentified remix artist-- speak-sing songs".

Songs covered include Pulp's "Common People" and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
