*The episode never gave the name of the song.  Instead, its name was given prior to the broadcast of ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'' at the 2006 Doctor Who [[Children in Need]] Concert (also known as the "[[Music and Monsters]]" concert, after the name of the attending ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' episode).  Oddly, though this was the public debut of the song, it was sung by [[Gary Williams]] rather than Hannon.

*"Love Don't Roam" was the second original song commissioned for the revived ''Doctor Who'' series, and the first to appear ''[[wikipedia:Diegesis#Film sound and music|diegetically]]'' — that is, in such a way that the characters were shown to be hearing it.  Unlike the earlier "[[Song for Ten]]", then, it was not [[incidental music]], but instead an actual part of the narrative.

*One line of the song included the words, "all the strange, strange creatures."
