[fanmix] please attend carefully: the Master is speaking
The Master, a renegade Time Lord who is the greatest individual enemy of the Doctor, according to Wikipedia. A man of many faces, unstable, volatile. This is a fanmix for his sixth regeneration, Mister Harold Saxon, and the dark days that followed. Spoilers for the episodes The Sound of Drums and The Last of the Time Lords.
Credit for the fabulous cover goes to incidentalmind, as my graphic skills are sort of a crime against humanity. ♥
Doctor Who Theme Remix - Doctor Who
instrumental
Every episode starts with the opening credits, right?
The Small Print - Muse
Say, it'll make you insane
And it's bending the truth
You're to blame
For all the life that you'll lose
Meet Harold Saxon, the politician.
Prima Donna - The Phantom of the Opera
Prima donna
the world is at your feet!
A nation waits,
and how it hates
to be cheated!
Now the lord and master of our Earth.
Getting Away With Murder - Papa Roach
I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth again
I am getting away with murder
He's a bit on the psychopathic side.
The Trickster - We Are Scientists
When you think you've got him down
And there's no way he'll get free
Well he's got many tricks that you haven't seen yet
And he'll flee
And crafty to boot.
Sabre Dance - Khachaturian
instrumental
Sometimes, I imagine that if the Master's day was made into an old cartoon, it would be set to this music. Yes, I'm weird.
Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of the War Drums - A Perfect Circle
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
The lyrics are sort of repetitive, aren't they? Like the drums in the Master's head.
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
Work It Harder Make It Better
Do It Faster, Makes Us stronger
More Than Ever Hour After
Our Work Is Never Over
Introducing the Toclafane, the Master's alien allies.
The Device Has Been Modified - Victims of Science
The device has been modified
The TARDIS is converted into a Paradox Machine.
Apocalypse Please - Muse
Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end of the world
And the takeover begins.
Return to Oz - Scissor Sisters
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown and the sky has claws
There's a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was emerald city is now a crystal town
The Earth isn't the same anymore after the Master takes over. And a new Gallifrey can never be.
Death on Two Legs - Queen
Insane you should be put inside
You’re a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
The people of Earth do not take kindly to their new master.
Paris is Burning - St. Vincent
We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair paris is burning after all
But revolt seems futile.
Corners of Your Mind - Ivy
And it only goes to show
There are worlds I’ll never know
There are rooms I’ll never find
In the corners of your mind
The relationship between the Master and his wife Lucy Saxon is a fragile one indeed.
The Show Must Go On - Moulin Rouge
Outside the dawn is breaking
On the stage that holds
Our final destiny
The show must go on
Martha travels the world for a year, spreading hope with word of the Doctor.
Springtime For Hitler - The Producers
The Fuhrer is causing a furor
They can't say "no" to his demands
They're freaking out in foreign lands
He's got the whole world in his hands
The Master gets ready for war against the rest of the universe. Replace "Hitler" with "the Master" and "Germany" with "the new Gallifreyan empire" and you've got not so in sync lyrics but an amusing comparison, at the least.
Someone Must Get Hurt - She Wants Revenge
As I stare through you and I stand quite still
And a alarm sounds just up the road
I can tell you'd like some company but I can't fix you and you don't want me
Despite everything, the Doctor does not want to give up on the Master.
Still Alive - Portal Ending Theme
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
Once again, the Doctor saves the day. But is it really the end?

Comments are appreciated, spread the love, enjoy, etc etc. :D
As per usual, my music taste is rather...varied, and some of these are clearly more facetious than others.
(After all, "Springtime For Hitler" is what made me decide to do this mix. Even though everyone and their mother has already made one.)
