Day of the Tune was a Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor comic story published in 2015.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Twelfth Doctor and Clara materialise on Planet Karaoke. At first Clara is incredulous that a planet is named after a type of entertainment from Earth, but the Doctor scolds her for assuming that humans invented karaoke. He tells Clara to "go sing songs" while he fixes the friction contrafibulator.

Clara asks the Doctor if he ever had musical ambitions, and he replies, "Just once.". He has a flashback to when his first four incarnations formed a band. The band ran into a problem when they all wanted to be the drummer.

Clara leaves the TARDIS, saying, "Four Doctors? I'd pay good money to see that!" The Doctor, unaware that Clara has left, tells Clara to wait a few minutes before singing because he's about to shut off the TARDIS, which will also turn off the translation circuits. After realising that Clara didn't hear him, the Doctor tells himself that everything will probably go fine.
