For the Paul Leonard novel, see Venusian Lullaby.

"Kokleda partha mennin clatch. Aroon aroon aroon. Kokleda sheena teerinatch. Aroon aroon aroon. Aroon aroon aroon. Aroon aroon aroon..."

— the song lyrics

A Venusian lullaby was used by the Doctor to soothe Aggedor, along with the sonic screwdriver, which apparently had a hypnotic effect on the beast. (DW: The Curse of Peladon, The Monster of Peladon) More obscurely, in the late 2000s, an illustrated book of Venusian lullabies used to placate a giant Zansi baby by Rhys Williams when he and Gwen took care of him. (TWM: Rift War!: Funhouse!)

Some archaeological sources suggest that the tune isn't a lullaby, but instead a bawdy rhyme. (NA: Lucifer Rising)

As Jon Pertwee (the Third Doctor) liked to reveal, he has made up the tune to the song by putting nonsense words to "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen".
