Favourite Song in Doctor Who?

I am kinda surprised this hasn’t been done before, but well time to do it.
Disclaimer: I am aware of some Songs outside the Show itself, such as Doctor in Distress, but I think those deserve their own Category in the Future. Also, there are some Stories with plenty of Songs, so only one Song for each Story
I am sure I probably missed a few Songs, so see it as a small Collection and feel free to talk about your own personal favorites that I miss down below :sob:

Also, I am sure I am missing a few, but then again this is an only small Collection.

  • Twist at the End (The Devils Chord)
  • Long Song (The Rings of Arkhaten)
  • Venusian lullaby (Curse/Monster of Peladon)
  • The Goblin Song (Church on Ruby Road)
  • The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon (The Gunfighters)
  • My Angel Put the Devil in Me (Daleks in Manhattan)
  • I Am the Very Model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer (Doctor Who and the Pirates)
  • Jo is making a Thing (The Scorchies)
  • Abigail’s Song (A Christmas Carol)
  • Here’s to the Future (Delta and the Bannermen)
  • Oh, Won’t You Please Love Me? (Fanfare for the Common Men)

In-universe songs only? (eg. no “Song for Ten” or “Love Don’t Roam” etc?)

I think “The Stowaway” (Voyage of the Damned) should be on the list, as it was sung by someone on the Titanic in the episode.

There are plenty of Songs, so I thought it would be the best to only go for some sung by Characters in the Stories themeselves.

Damn it you’re right :sob: I had the feeling I forgot one, and now I can’t edit the Poll :sob:

You know I have actually been in the pro camp for a proper musical episode of Doctor Who. But looking at this list of songs…
No thank you :eyes:

Btw best version of the Venusian Lullaby is in the last story of the Peladon boxset :grin:

I’d have also thrown Stowaway a vote

Bear in mind that besides “Here’s To the Future”, Delta and the Bannermen had “Rock Around the Clock”, “Singing the Blues”, “Why Do Fools Fall in Love”, “When the Red, Red Robin”, “The Honeysuckle and the Bee”, “Mr. Sandman”, “Goodnight, Sweetheart”,"That’ll Be the Day, "Only You, "Lollipop, “Who’s Sorry Now?”, and “Happy Days Are Here Again”.

It’s fairly underrepresented here.

I thought about including some other Delta Songs but then decided against it, since that very well could be its own Poll (in Case if we don’t have one already :sob:)

Think it was missing a song, but I did do a poll a long time ago of them.

Abigail’s song for me, makes me teary-eyed!! I actually didn’t really care for A Christmas Carol much in my teens when I would rewatch a Christmas ep every year it would usually be The Runaway Bride but nowadays it’s ALWAYS A Christmas Carol. Funny how much rewatching can change your opinion!

Where’s 'I’ve Got a Dog"?

It would have won, so putting it there would mean no other Song would have stand a Chance, I am afraid.

I like the song in The Rings of Arkhaten more than the story!
I also love Foxes’ version of Don’t Stop Me Now on Mummy on the Orient Express, although I prefer the original.

Don’t Stop Me Now: Foxes
