'''"Abigail's Song"''' was a song that [[Abigail Pettigrew]] once sang at the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s insistence.  Because of the perfection of her voice, she was able to use her melody to resonate the fog crystals in the skies above [[Sardicktown]].  This, in turn, unlocked the clouds, created snow, and allowed an endangered [[spaceship (A Christmas Carol)|spaceship]] — carrying a [[honeymoon]]ing [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]] — to land safely on [[Unnamed planet (A Christmas Carol)|her planet]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]'')

This song is the third song written with completely English lyrics for Doctor Who after "[[The Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon]]" and ''[[The Stowaway]]''.  It perhaps bears the best comparison to "Saloon" in that it is not just [[diegetic]], but actually vital to the plot.
