- Elton John composed the music for the song, and performed a variation of it that appeared on the 1994 film's soundtrack album (but not the film itself, where it was sung by Carmen Twillie and Lebo M). The song title does not get a mention on-screen. The original lyrics are actually slightly different to the ones quoted by the Doctor — the first line is, "From the day we arrive on the planet", not "they arrive".
