"Spice Up Your Life"
"Spice Up Your Life" was a song by the Spice Girls which, by 2023, the Toymaker had claimed to be "hiding in" for decades, going so far as to claim that he actually created the song. In this year, he "burst out" of it when he played it throughout UNIT HQ. (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"])
The Fourteenth Doctor, Donna Noble and the UNIT personnel were distracted from their preparations for the Toymaker's arrival when the song suddenly started playing from an unknown source, leading the Doctor to realise the Toymaker had already arrived. Sure enough, the Toymaker burst onto the scene and terrorised everyone whilst dancing and lip-syncing to the song's lyrics. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
When the Toymaker recounted this event in The Toymaker and the Giggle, he was prevented from using the song's lyrics by Ms Pockleton, due to having not secured the rights to do so, only being allowed to quote the "la-la-la..." parts. (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"])
Lyrics[[edit] | [edit source]]
La-la-la...
When you're feeling sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smiling, dancing, everything is free
All you need is positivity
Colours of the world (Spice up your life)
Every boy and every girl (Spice up your life)
People of the world (Spice up your life)
Aaaah
Slam it to the left (If you're having a good time)
Shake it to the right (If you know that you feel fine)
Chicas to the front (Ha, ha)
And go 'round
Slam it to the left (If you're having a good time)
Shake it to the right (If you know that you feel fine)
Chicas to the front (Ha, ha)
Hai, sì, ja! Hold tight!
La-la-la...
Yellow man in Timbuktu
Colour for both me and you
Kung Fu Fighting, Dancing Queen
Tribal Spaceman, and all that's in between
Colours of the world (Spice up your life)
Every boy and every girl (Spice up your life)
People of the world (Spice up your life)
Aaaah
...
Hai, sì, ja! Hold tight!
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The scene in which the song was used occurred mere minutes before Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor officially arrived. Coincidentally, the song was also briefly used in the Barbie movie just five months prior, in which Gatwa also appeared.
