BBC making fanvids...
I love it when this happens. This is Foxes singing 'Don't Stop Me Now' from Mummy On The Orient Express, but rather than have it as a straight performance they've turned it into a vid. And because they're the BBC, there's even snippets of future episodes:

Embarrassingly out of the loop alert: I didn't know the song, and had to look up the lyrics. Having had to do that though, if you wanted to pick a song to illustrate the out-of-control nature of the Doctor's and Clara's adventures, with a Missy/woman-in-the-shop-shaped sting in the tail at the end, this is pretty close to perfect:
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
...
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
...
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call

Personally, then I always associate it with the Master, thanks to this vid by
ETA: Meant to say that it then ties in with Missy even more. ;)

So again I can blame this one on John Barrowman ;) He sang it once in "Tonight's the Night". It's possible I have heard it before, don't remember, but I love it ever since seeing this:

(he introduces me to so many great songs and then I go and educate myself about where they come from)
I do finally understand though why one friend back in the early Nineties was such a huge Queen fan. So many great songs!

I grew up with Madonna and Michael Jackson too!! Although I understand wanting to understand the lyrics. :)

Not a bad way to be! Heck, I read Dante because of Doctor Who...

They're my eldest daughter's favourite band.

Yeah, lyrics are a big deal for me. I don't listen to a song just because it has pretty music, I want to feel something, be touched, hear a story. Therefore, I don't like much movie scores when it is just music.
The first people I could understand really well with my rudimentary English were Tony Christie and Frank Sinatra. One more reason for me to be a JB fan - he has great diction, you can understand every single word!
Not a bad way to be!
And without him, I would miss so many great songs! Have you ever heard "And I love you so" before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tZCi5AkKDg
I just realized, I had hoped for it to be on the CD. Ah well. Maybe next time.
Then again, I also did not know "From this moment" or even "Rule the world" before John sang it, so I really am no measure ;) Seeing them live in concert is a memory I'll never forget.
My newest newfound song through him is "Skyscraper" from his recent CD. I work in the building industry so it is perfect. And I really like the melody as well.
Heck, I read Dante because of Doctor Who...
I admit I am also kinda sorta a van Gogh fan now because of Doctor Who... Plus I read the biography of Casanova because of the TV series with David Tennant - I wanted to know what is real and what made up. A lot of it surprisingly was real! David is also the reason for me going to the theatre much more and having become a Shakespeare fan. His Hamlet blew me away. Never say a sci-fi series was not educating!

I adore movie scores! And Murray Gold's music. I tend to listen to music when I write - I want a mood or sound that feels right, so I tend to listen to stuff that I do have to concentrate on. Mind you, it depends - sometimes specifics stories have specific songs attached to them. :)

Guess that's from being in musicals - everyone has to understand you.
Have you ever heard "And I love you so" before?
I hadn't - it's very him!

I can imagine!

Heee. That's very handy.

Indeed! And sci-fi is usually crammed full of references also.
