Category:Songs from the real world

Songs from the real world are those songs which were established to exist in the Doctor Who universe, but which originated in the real world. In other words, a song in this category was not created for use in a Doctor Who episode, nor any show within the larger franchise, but it was nevertheless heard or sung by a DWU character.

The following suggestions guide organization of other types of song:

• If it was in a DWU story and appeared to be heard or sung by characters in the narrative, but originated in the DWU — like "The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon" — it's best put in Category:Songs.
• If it was featured on the soundtrack for an episode, but not heard by characters in the narrative — like "Song for Ten" or the Doctor Who theme — it's a part of Category:Incidental and theme music
• If it was not featured in any way in an episode, but was strictly a merchandising tie-in — like "Who is the Doctor" — then it belongs to Category:Songs about the Doctor Who universe.
