Tom Baker Says...

(143KB) Hello. I am Tom Baker and I will be saying things to you by the magic of SMS.

Thanks to some genius at BT, ordinary people like you can make me say whatever they want, simply by sending a text message to a BT landline.

What follows is the result of some of those text messages. As you can imagine, people tend to want to hear me say naughty words. If you are easily offended, I suggest you leave now! Everyone else... Enjoy!

The chilli system...

I have created a 'naughty words rating system' for people who may not wish to listen to Tom's more 'fruity' quotes... (This is mainly for my Mutha's benefit)

Moderate expletives

How it all began

It all started when I (Mark Murphy) sent a Tom Baker message to a few friends.

Quite a few messages were exchanged, mainly involving childish insults and swear words. Much mirth ensued.

As the messages became more elaborate and the work I put into them grew, it became clear that I should create this website to share the witterings with the World.

Movie Quotes

One of the first things we came up with was getting Tom to say some classic (and not so classic, but rude) movie quotes.

Tom Bakaraoke

No, not French for falling over whilst singing. This is in fact Tom singing to the hit songs of today (the word 'today' is used very loosly, as are 'hit' and 'singing')

20/10/2008 It's been a while since I've done anything on here, but I've finally made a new song! Get yourself to the Bakaraoke section to check out Camouflage in all its glory.

Well I've not added much to the site yet, as I've been busy recording as many texts as possible before Text Aid finished.

It seems I didn't need to send myself quite so many messages in such a short time, as BT have announced Tom is to continue as their text voice until the end of March - Woohoo!

13/12/2006 Nick Price, MD of bright purple resourcing, has given me and the Text Aid single a great plug in his blog. Bright purple are an IT recruitment agency based in Edinburgh. They're a great place to start if you're looking for an IT job anywhere in the UK, and indeed if you're a company looking for the perfect IT candidate!

Tom Baker's text voice is back!! BT launched Text Aid today to raise at least £100 000 for Shelter.

2p from each text message sent to or from a BT landline between now and 8th January 2007 will go to the charity.

Now for the really exciting news... I just got back from London, where I've been promoting the new Text Aid Bakaraoke single alongside Maggot and P Xain from Goldie Lookin Chain!

BT commissioned me to produce the song, which is a Bakaraoke cover of The Kinks' song You Really Got Me.

The track will be officially released on 18th December, but you can listen to a preview and pre-order it from bt.com/textaid now. It's only 79p and all BT's proceeds go straight to Shelter. Let's make Tom the Christmas number 1!

10/11/2006 It's been a while, but I've finally made an update! There's a remixed version of Buggles in the Tom Bakaraoke section... It sounds much nicer than the original one.

Site got a mention in BT's in-house magazine, BT Today. Here is the article...

Well, it was always going to happen. BT have announced the end of the Tom Baker text message service. Indeed the boring woman's voice is back already :(
I only have a few sound clips still to process, but keep a look out for them... One is another song and another is something quite special!

11/03/2006 Been busy today - added loads of Movie quotes, tonnes of Luuurve messages and a new joke.
