"Circle of Life"
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
"Circle of Life" was a song from The Lion King accidentally quoted by the Tenth Doctor when discussing humanity's potential with the Sycorax on 25 December 2006. The lyrics he quoted were:
- From the day they arrived on the planet
- And, blinking, stepped into the sun.
- There is more to see, than can ever be seen
- More to do than—
Behind the scenes
- 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".
