"Ghost Town" was a song by the Specials which was used as extra-diegetic, incidental music in the soundtrack of The Rings of Akhaten. It underscored that episode's opening scene. Though perhaps less familiar to non-British viewers, the tune was a multi-week number one hit in Britain in 1981, and thus would have immediately placed the scene "in the 1980s" for much of the British audience.
