Elton John wrote the music for and sang the original recording of "Circle of Life" for the Earth film, The Lion King. The Tenth Doctor accidentally quoted lyrics from this song during his confrontation with the Sycorax. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)
Behind the scenes
- Stock footage of Elton John performing in concert is used for his very brief cameo in Love & Monsters, marking one of the few occasions a well-known British musical performer had been featured in such a way. A similar stock-footage cameo was conducted for the Beatles in DW: The Chase.
