More Dr Horrible
I got another request for a Dr Horrible song so here is Laundry Day / Freeze Ray from Act I:
- Freeze Ray 0.1 with vocal line on synth
- Freeze Ray 0.1 Backing without vocal line
For easy access, here are my previous three efforts:
- So They Say 0.1 (from Act III with vocal lines)
- Main Title 0.1
- On The Rise 0.1 (from Act II with vocal lines)
Enjoy! (and go buy Dr Horrible on iTunes to hear the real thing)
PS If you're Jed Whedon, I'd love to talk to you more about your scoring.
UPDATE (2008-08-04): Here are backing versions (i.e. without vocal lines) of the other two songs above:
- So They Say 0.1 Backing without vocal lines
- On The Rise 0.1 Backing without vocal lines
UPDATE (2008-08-05): Here's the Bad Horse phone call from Act II:
- Bad Horse Phone Call 0.1 without vocal lines
UPDATE (2008-08-06): Here's Brand New Day from Act II both with and without vocal lines
- Brand New Day 0.1
- Brand New Day 0.1 Backing without vocal line
UPDATE (2008-08-06): RINGTONES! Now see Dr Horrible Ringtones
UPDATE (2008-09-27): A Man's Gotta Do

Is there anyway you can do the 'Bad Horse' ringtone that Dr Horrible has on his phone (in Act II)?
James Tauber on Aug. 2, 2008:
Chris, it never occurred to me people would want to use these as ringtones :-) I'll look into it.
Gigi J on Aug. 3, 2008:
Fabulous! You are a gem.
brosner on Aug. 3, 2008:
Hey jtauber,
I love it man. So glad you are taking time to do this. I love Dr. Horrible and the stuff you are making. Keep it up! :)
+1 to the ringtone idea!
The Lazy Canadian on Aug. 3, 2008:
Wow, that's awesome--it even works as karaoke! Try singing ze lyrics along with the song. It works. :D
Jimmy Rogers on Aug. 3, 2008:
I just set up a Digg page for this so, let's try and get it out there!
Wandel on Aug. 3, 2008:
Do you take requests? If so, Brand New Day is my favorite song from Dr Horrible :)
Moses on Aug. 3, 2008:
Hey James,
I'm doing unofficial transcriptions of Dr. Horrible songs in sheet music form-- I've done Perfect Day and Bad Horse so far. Perhaps we can work together?
Also for the people who are looking for a Bad Horse Ringtone, I've put up a short MP3 at http://moses.leifam.com/
I tried to replicate the cell phone sound but I'm not sure how successful I was, anyway, give it a whirl.

Moses on Aug. 3, 2008:
Sorry, I meant "Perfect Story" above (getting my song titles mixed up). If you got a broken link before it's fixed now.
Erin on Aug. 4, 2008:
I thought you'd be pleased to know that you got some props from the makers of Dr. Horrible on their twitter page! Here's the quote: "We're working on our own ringtones but till then here's this http://tinyurl.com/57tth3. No rest for the WICKED"
Xupa on Aug. 4, 2008:
Couldn't agree more... Bad Horse Ringtone!!!
Xupa on Aug. 4, 2008:
Just saw the other one that was posted at http://moses.leifam.com/audio/bad_horse_ringtone_v3.mp3
Since most phones support polyphonic these days, that's a bit tinny for me... I'd love a Tauber approach that sounds more like the tone on the show... (no offense)
Moses on Aug. 4, 2008:
Xupa: That's what I thought too, so I made an orchestra version. It's linked at http://moses.leifam.com/
AvalonXQ on Aug. 4, 2008:
Extremely well-done! Thank you! These are wonderful to sing along with.
Any chance you'll do "Brand New Day" at some point?
Jannis Leidel on Aug. 5, 2008:
Hey James, that is just awesome! Thanks for creating and sharing those audio files.
+1 Brand New Day
Thien-Kim on Aug. 6, 2008:
Thanks for adding Brand New Day!
jennyvier on Aug. 6, 2008:
These are AWESOME! Great job!
I'm especially in love with the "bad horse" one that starts with doc horrible's ringtone he has set for bad horse. I think if anyone could re-create the entire ringtone it would be you. (and you'd make a lot of DH fans out there delieriously happy. ^_~*)
Krissy on Aug. 6, 2008:
The Bad Horse ringtone is awesome! Thanks so much!
Xupa on Aug. 7, 2008:
you rock quite a lot.
that is absolutely perfect.
hehe it's got the "neigh" vote!
love it. bravo!
chicgeek on Aug. 7, 2008:
Excellent! Thanks!
Chris: All you need to do is manually rename the file from an .mp3 to an .m4r and reimport into iTunes. :D
klevermore on Aug. 7, 2008:
These are so awesome! Thank you so much, my life is complete now. (Well, except for needing a sequel). Now to decide who gets which ringtone!
lenny on Aug. 7, 2008:
gah why can't i save these?? i fail at quicktime :(
lenny on Aug. 7, 2008:
d'oh! nevermind, figured it out
Robert-Jon on Aug. 7, 2008:
These are great!!
What are the licenses on these? How about performing with these mp3's?
James Tauber on Aug. 7, 2008:
Performance rights technically lie with the publisher/songwriter, not me :-)
lovesthai on Aug. 7, 2008:
Okay, I'm SO not a cell phone tech person!!! Could anyone tell me how to send this to my Verizon phone so that I can use it as a ringtone? Please please please please?
AthenaMuze on Aug. 7, 2008:
I would love all the songs if possible, but if I can only request one I'd like the song Penny sings, Keep Your Head Up (no clue if that's the real name). Also I wanted to let you know that Joss apparently called it My Freeze Ray and does not like it when people call it Laundry day.
This is fantastic regardless and I'm snagging a few of them. :) Thank you so much!
AthenaMuze on Aug. 7, 2008:
ok I lied, these are better than fantastic, they are amazing! I'm taking them all, want more! ;)
dianamac on Aug. 7, 2008:
Thanks so much for these! I love the Bad Horse one!
ShishKaRobb on Aug. 7, 2008:
Excellent! Great Job!
Cheeky on Aug. 7, 2008:
Thanks ever so much! If you're taking request, is there anyway you could do the first Bad Horse song from Act I?
JBarn on Aug. 9, 2008:
Hey, I love these songs! I was just wondering if you're going to upload all of the songs in the 3 acts? My friends and I are recording with voices and don't have Act 1's "A man's gotta do" or whatever it's called. Thanks!

Vince on Aug. 11, 2008:
Any chance of Midi's for older polyphonic phones please please please???
JazzyFizzle on Aug. 12, 2008:
Hey, these are awesome! I just noticed something though: the intro for On The Rise Backing seems to be missing. The music for that one starts right when the singing comes in. Somehow the front end got lopped off?
AFB on Aug. 12, 2008:
I'd also love polyphonic midi ringtones!
merriwyn on Aug. 13, 2008:
these. rock. the only trouble I have now is deciding which one to set as my ringtone, they are all so good!
John Wilkerson on Aug. 13, 2008:
Thanks for the karaoke tracks. I used the one from "Freeze Ray" to record a parody which will appear in my podcast next week.
You rock! \m/
Serendipity on Aug. 14, 2008:
I love the Bad Horse phone call - but what I really want is just the first bit looped. I don't want it to go into the song - I just want the part that is Dr. Horrible's cell phone ringing. Doable?
Thanks for your hard work.. these really are amazing.
Jen on Aug. 14, 2008:
These are amazing!!! Thank you! If you do "Man's Gotta Do" I'll dub you my favorite person of 2008. If you do the finale I'll put you through for 2009 too:)
Kelly on Aug. 16, 2008:
Does anyone know where I can get the web app for the Dr. Horrible Van Remote for my iPHone? I could have sworn I saw a link to it a few days ago - and now....? Thanks in advance.
Robert-Jon on Aug. 16, 2008:
@Serendipity:
I've taken the liberty to edit the Bad Horse phone call song. I'm using it as my current ringtone on my iPhone and it's just like the real thing. :D
Download .mp3 or .m4r:

Hope you like it!
alucarrd on Aug. 21, 2008:
I cant seem to download them. I have a voyager from Verizon. Anyone know if it is even possible to set these as ringtones for anything besides iphones?

omaly_the_great on Aug. 28, 2008:
wow this is epic. you are amazing and just made my life so much easier
me and a friend of mine want to direct this as a one act musical (the first one act musical in our school history)but couldnt find backings or sheet music
could you try to do the rest by next year possibly? we would be very gratefull and thank you in out program
Posted on Aug. 31, 2008:
Omaly, we're doing the same thing only in video and this site really makes things great. Over here we're all crossing our fingers that more come out *wink*!
Matt on Sept. 4, 2008:
These are completely awesome. If you could do more (particularly the Captain Hammer-centric songs) that would rule.
Cora on Sept. 8, 2008:
Could I make a small request for Caring Hands/Penny's Song? *wibbleface*
Renee on Sept. 10, 2008:
Hi! Would you be so kind as to accept a request for "Slipping"? I'd die to be able to use that to audition with! <3
Kyle on Sept. 17, 2008:
You need slipping and finale please.
Mikey on Sept. 19, 2008:
Hey, That's great, but the lyric- free version of "on the rise" is missing the intro..... what the hell man? are you gonna fix that because apart from that these are great!
Josh on Sept. 25, 2008:
Hey! Its awsome that you've done some of these with no words! Is there any way you could possibly do that with "A Man's Got to Do"? My pal and I are theater majors at VSU and we can sing a near perfect version of Hammer and Horrible. If we could find just the audio for "A Man's Got to Do" we were going to re-enact it for Spotlight night! If you could help it'd be awsome man!!
Chad on Oct. 9, 2008:
Nice work so far. you and moseslei.net are two sites I check daily for updates. Between the two of you my collection should be complete in no time. Bwa ha ha ha ha. Anyway, Mikey's right about the lack of intro on "On the rise" seems like an easy fix. Also, if your music writer has a transscriber a link to sheet music would be awesome.
Alison on Oct. 15, 2008:
You are amazing! My friends and I can't wait to sing this stuff together. Thank you!
Alison on Oct. 15, 2008:
PS. Are you planning on doing Penny's Song?
John D. Turner on Oct. 17, 2008:
Love the work! Good job! Any way you could attach the intro to the lyric-free version of "On The Rise" though? It's on the one with the "vocal lines".
Thanks!
jesse on Nov. 16, 2008:
hey, can you possibly give downloads for these?
Kris on Dec. 4, 2008:
Anyway you could do Slipping or Everything?
C. on Dec. 25, 2008:
God bless the internets.
Was looking for this and now I found.
Thanks so much for doing this.
Kevin the Karaoke Pimp on Dec. 30, 2008:
Hi there! Found the site and I love what you are doing! I too am trying to make Dr. Horrible Karaoke tracks. I was playing your version of "My Freeze Ray" over the soundtrack version and I noticed that something is wrong with your version during the bridge. On the part where Billy sings, "The feelings you don't dare to feel", the chord from the soundtrack plays a different chord. Please check it out and feel free to contact me. Thanks and keep up the great work!
