In Parting of the Ways, near the end, Rose wakes up and states that she heard music, the Doctor jokes and says "I sang a song, and the Daleks ran away" or something to that effect. I was wondering what that music could be that she heard. I know we hear the singing, which sounds similar to Ood songs. I was wondering if what we heard was the Doctor's song starting (Since the Tenth Doctor was to have a song, not any others). --Frembra talk to me 11:14, April 9, 2012 (UTC)Frembra

An interesting theory, and very probable, but I doubt it's what RTD had in mind. 94.72.204.137talk to me 11:23, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I doubt that RTD had actually come up with the Ood's story arc that early. I doubt he even knew they would make a return appearance after The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit came out. Most likely, Rose and the Doctor's lines had more to do with the fact that Rose was still a bit loopy after having the vortex in her head, and the Doctor was a bit loopy because he was regenerating. Besides, does the Doctor's song actually literally exist when he's not in telepathic contact with the Ood? They were never very clear on the nature of these songs. The 10th Doctor's song wouldn't have started until a couple of minutes later anyway, though Rose may have heard the end of the Ninth Doctor's song.Icecreamdif talk to me 15:27, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps it was a way of breaking the fourth wall? There was music during the scene in which Rose was the Bad Wolf so maybe her powers had allowed her to break into the real world and hear the music playing to the audience? 94.72.204.137talk to me 16:39, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
