It would appear that David Bowie gave me unrealistic expectations about the Goblin King

[dogaplays]

Kudos to TARDIS for correctly localising an alien song to English language without losing anything in translation & keeping the rhyme.

[ReddSpark]

“We can dine 3 days at least” …that is the funniest line, given that they clearly can’t feed they many mouths plus the goblin king for even a second let alone 3 days 😂

[PrinceoftheAbyss]

At first, I was like, "OK, what are these nasty critters gonna do with that baby?" But as soon as I said that, the lyrics showed up, and I was like, "Oh, thanks for clearing that up."

[smallgator]

"..not a myth hes an actual thing." It seems that invoking superstition at the edge of the universe has made a lot of myths come true. Like bigeneration and goblin kings.

[Phoenix]

Years from now when a certain child learns they were on Doctor Who as a baby, I hope we all get to see their reaction when they watch this!

[armysheep]

Fun Fact: I've heard that exact line " He can eat me, he makes me swoon" (paraphrased) come from more than a few young ladies and women in the 80's, referencing The Goblin King, Jareth. I found that addition humorous.

[MegaAstroFan]

I've also thought about this, evidently the Goblin King was the only one who was going to physically eat the baby, which implies to me that the rest of the goblins are linked to him on some level. He eats, the rest of them experience the taste and nourishment, despite not having actually eaten anything.

[johnmacintyre]

1:33 "He's not a myth, he's an actual thing!"
I appreciate the sincerely absurd delivery of that lyric.

[korsekil]

Okay but if you think about it, the logistics of goblin nutrition are mind-boggling. ONE baby feeds an entire court of goblins for 3 whole days? You could feed legions of goblins with a small nursery!

[spook]

One thing they NAILED in that season, is The Doctor's passion for observing life forms. In that clip, he exclaims this "amazing" in awe of the goblins as a species (knot language, the taste for music and thus, art), and needs to be reminded by ruby that this is a situation where a baby is gonna die, to act against it.

I love it, it's in perfect continuity with the timelords original statement of "we observe, we don't interfere".

[-Tekuo-]

15's delivery of "Amazing" at the sight of a baby getting spiced up to be eaten by goblins is what convinced me that he will be a great incarnation of the doctor.

[itz_cam-okhq]

Only doctor who can make a single about goblins eating children.

[KarlaMB]

If this become Christmas number 1. A song about babies being eaten and money going to Children in need is why it's iconic.

[ashleygardiner]

I hope that we hear the Doctor or Ruby humming this song in an episode later on 🤣. It's a bop.

[joeyfaircloth]

This song slaps way harder then it it should, considering that it’s a song about goblins eating a baby 👶

[jenniejesser]

When he says "I wonder whose ship this is" I said "David Bowie?"

[almighty]

After Ncuti said "Amazing", he definitely convinced me that he's the Doctor

[BradleyWilloughby]

They didn't have to make a song about eating babies such a bop, but they did.

[thepopculturepunk]

The "There's Scones!?" Goblin is my favourite
