#murray gold

This is so funny to me. They just woke up one day to this in their emails. They didn't ask for it. They didn't even want it. And yet it's in the episode anyway. Dugga doo is inescapable.

my favourite thing about the interstellar song contest is that no one asked for the dugga doo song. it was not in the script. murray gold just wrote that shit. and yes you heard me right, murray gold wrote it. he sat down and wrote a full version, not even just the snippet that ended up in the episode. legendary behaviour

How I think the Dugga Doo pitch went down (based on a comment I read which said that Murray Gold wrote it on his own without prompting and it wasn’t in the script):

Murray Gold: Hi, Russell, listen, it’s so great that you’re doing another episode devoted to music. So glad I could contribute some songs.

Russell T Davies: Well thank you, it’s a pleasure to have you on board for this, you’ve written some great tracks for Doctor Who over the years, always so thought-provoking and moving.

Murray Gold: Thanks… so anyway, I’ve written another song. It’s three minutes long, it’s a bit like that one song from the Muppets sung by the pink hoover things with eyelashes.

Russell T Davies: …I’m not sure if we’ll have time for that-

Murray Gold: It’s called Dugga Doo.

Russell T Davies: It’s called what? Anyway, like I said, I’m terribly sorry but-

Murray Gold: *Heavy breathing* DUGGA. DOO.

Russell T Davies: …Right, you know what? Okay, we’ll put it in the episode, it can be in the background of a character’s mental breakdown, it seems quite fitting for how I feel right now.

Murray Gold: *Happy Dugga Doo noises*

"wow this song is so good! i wonder what it's called!"

I love the fact that Murray Gold is apparently 100% responsible for Dugga Doo. Like neither RTD or Juno Dawson asked for that. He just made it and sent it unprompted.

Dugga Doo should have won
