'''The Stowaway''' is a [[Christmas]]-themed song performed by an unidentified musical group at a dance on board the spaceship replica of ''[[Titanic (spaceship)|Titanic]]'' before its plunge into Earth's atmosphere. ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') | '''The Stowaway''' is a [[Christmas]]-themed song performed by an unidentified musical group at a dance on board the spaceship replica of ''[[Titanic (spaceship)|Titanic]]'' before its plunge into Earth's atmosphere. The song takes a romantic perspective on Christmas, despite the belief by [[Bayldon Copper]] and others that Christmas was a somewhat sinister event. ([[DW]]: ''[[Voyage of the Damned]]'') | ||

Composed by [[Murray Gold]] and recorded by [[Yamit Mamo]], "The Stowaway" was the fourth original song commissioned for the revival of ''Doctor Who'', following songs Gold composed for the two previous Christmas specials and ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]''. Mamo appears on camera performing the song in the episode and Gold appears as one of her musicians. The song was released prior to the episode's broadcast on the Series 3 soundtrack album. | Composed by [[Murray Gold]] and recorded by [[Yamit Mamo]], "The Stowaway" was the fourth original song commissioned for the revival of ''Doctor Who'', following songs Gold composed for the two previous Christmas specials and ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]''.

Exactly from whose perspective the lyrics are told is a matter of debate, as media coverage suggested the song might be told from the captain of the ''Titanic'' replica's point of view, despite the fact he and [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] do not meet, nor do they share any sort of romantic interaction. A more likely candidate is [[Astrid Peth]], who greets the Doctor as a stowaway and proceeds to become attracted to him (though the outcome of the lyrics differs from the outcome of the episode vis a vis Peth's fate). The lyric "lying with his love, that's where he'll be" is generally assumed to be a reference to [[Rose Tyler]], and a possible foreshadowing of the climax of ''[[The Stolen Earth]]''. | |||
