(disclaimer: I don't know offhand if the Doctor was ever in danger of destroying ancient Rome. I needed the rhyme)
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared that we'll get lost out in space,
And I'm wondering where you got that new face,
Oods to the left of me,
Daleks to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you
Yes I'm stuck in the TARDIS with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep these secrets I know,
and I'm longing for some real Christmas snow,
Boe to the left of me, angels to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the TARDIS with you
Well you started out on Gallifrey,
you're sad that you're the last Time Lord,
Your assistants and companions
follow you through space and time
Allons-y, Allons-y
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
It's much bigger inside your police box,
and I want to cause a bad paradox
Cats to the left of me, Silence to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the TARDIS with you
Well you started out on Gallifrey
You stopped the Time War by yourself
And your friends, they're counting shadows,
You regenerate and say,
Allons-y, allons-y
Well I don't know why we came to the moon,
I got the feeling it's gonna hatch soon,
I'm so scared that we'll destroy ancient Rome,
And I'm wondering how I'll ever get home,
Veils to the left of me,
Sky fish to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you,
Yes I'm stuck in the TARDIS with you,
Stuck in the TARDIS with you, here I am stuck in the TARDIS with you

Opportunities (Let's Kill Adolf Hitler) (Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) - Pet Shop Boys)
(I'm not generally the biggest fan of the Eleventh Doctor, but I quite enjoyed the episode Let's Kill Hitler, and Mels' line "You've got a time machine, I've got a gun; let's kill Hitler" had me humming Pet Shop Boys all day. Yes, I know, I'm a total nerd.)
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You've got a TARDIS, I've got a gun
Let's kill Adolf
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is in a field, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a Doctor, to kill him is my aim
I'll answer your question, if you'll tell me your name
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You've got a TARDIS, I've got a gun
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
You can tell I'm educated, the Silence trained me well
An archaeologist, I'm locked up in a cell
I can handle any sonic, choose the perfect time
If you've got the police box, I have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them
I've got a gun, you've got a box
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
Let's kill Adolf
Hitler
Now you're poisoned by my lipstick, from the Judas trees
I'll sacrifice my lives, now let's synch our diaries
I'm looking for a Doctor, regardless of how long
it takes. I'll marry him, because I'm River Song
Let's
(Got a gun)
Kill
(Got a TARDIS)
Let's kill Adolf Hitler
(Ooh Hitler)

You've got a box

Making Radium (On the Radio - Donna Summer)
(Because, many historical anachronisms notwithstanding, I like to believe that Marie and Pierre Curie celebrated their Nobel Prize in Physics with a Donna Summer dance party. And yes, I know the prize wasn't technically for making radium, but more for the discovery of and work with radiation and that the Radium Girls weren't happening around that time. Don't think I don't care and obsess over scientific accuracy; I do, but sometimes a little bit of inaccuracy fits the song better.)
Someone won the Nobel Prize for making radium
And they'll get a medal made of gold
They must have overlooked my contributions and experiments
They said the laureates
were Pierre and Becquerel
Whoa You were mad, complained to them, and so they added me
Now I'll get a Nobel medal too
We can't go there in person; we're too busy working here in Pare-ee
But they're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa oh oh oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
Now, now
Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our work
is being used to make all the watch faces glow
The girls who paint them ingest the radium, and they get sick
It causes pain and anemia, death and woe
Whoa, oh, yeah, yeah
And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
You couldn't find the elements by yourself
And now in my heart I know radiation's making me sick
But they're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa oh oh
making Radium
If you think that love can't be found making radium
Well come right in you may find an isotope
'Cause now I'm sitting here with my daughter and her Nobel Prize
They're celebrating us, in Sweden for
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh
making Radium
Whoa, oh, oh

Last Sunday Night (Last Friday Night - Katy Perry)
(spoilers for The Walking Dead season 6 finale.)
90 minute Walking Dead
Lucille bashing in a head
Blood is all over the lens
Many people think it's Glenn's
Eeny Meeny Moe
This is such a violent show
Family lined up on their knees
This finale didn't please
Pictures of last week analyzed online to death
Oh well
It's a cliffhanger and it made me hold my breath
Damn
Last Sunday night
Carol's injured like we thought
Morgan finally took some shots
Watched his pretty pony trot
Last Sunday night
Yeah they tried a lot of roads
And their confidence erodes
During this whole episode
Last Sunday night
One of their skulls has been marked
Monologuing in the dark
Kind of loving Negan's snark
Last Sunday night
Yeah I think he broke a skull
But at least it wasn't dull-ull
ooh-ohh
This Sunday night
Fear The Walking Dead
This Sunday night
Fear The Walking Dead
Can't wait for the big reveal
Have to know who met Lucille
Point of view from in the truck
Enid's in a closet, stuck
Eugene got captured again
Father Gabe's a trusted friend?
Walkers chained up in a row
Maggie's sick; we got to go
(repeat ad infinitum)

Supreme Court Justices (Is She Really Going Out with Him - Joe Jackson)
(So, with Justice Scalia's passing, the chorus of this song is out of date, but this is how I memorized the Supreme Court Justices in order of appointment. Yes, I'm a huge nerd. You should hear me sing the moons of Jupiter to the tune of Drops of Jupiter. Not even kidding.)
Pretty plaintiffs out walking with attorneys down First Street
We're in session; got the Constitution to uphold
Look over there
(Where?)
There, there's a Justice that we used to know
She's got a Medal of Freedom now or so we're told
There's Scalia and there's Kennedy,
And there's Thomas and there's Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
And there's Breyer, Roberts, Alito,
And then there's Sotomayor,
And finally there's Supreme Court Justice Kagen
Tonight's the night we deliver the decisions on First street
I wear my robe and I kid myself, I look real smooth
Look over there
(Where?)
There goes O'Connor with her new law clerk
They say your votes don't count for much
And so there goes your proof
There's Scalia and there's Kennedy,
And there's Thomas and there's Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
And there's Breyer, Roberts, Alito,
And then there's Sotomayor,
And finally there's Supreme Court Justice Kagen
Kagen
But if "nays" could kill
There's a bill there that is marked down as dead
'Cause I've had my fill
Listen you, take the plea from her head
Because we nine are very fine
Hey, hey, hey
There's Scalia and there's Kennedy,
And there's Thomas and there's Ruth Bader Ginsburg,
And there's Breyer, Roberts, Alito,
And then there's Sotomayor,
And finally there's Supreme Court Justice Kagen

Agrabah (Africa - Toto)
(Fun fact: This was almost a Star Wars parody named "Dagobah.")
I hear Abu chattering tonight
But she hears only whispers of archaic old traditions
We'll take a midnight carpet flight
I've made a wish to be a prince via magical transitions
I found a genie along the way
Hoping to find a lamp for an old man who was Jafar in disguise
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry Al, she's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a bad guy named Jafar could ever do
I bless the sands down in Agrabah
Gonna take some time to show the girl a whole new world
Iago schemes all through the night
As he grows greedy, longing for some power in his feathered hands
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as the Cave of Wonders rises like a tiger above the Agrabah sands
The lamp was hidden deep inside, among gold and jewels and treasure hoards
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a bad guy named Jafar could ever do
I bless the sands down in Agrabah
Gonna take some time to show the girl a whole new world
Hurry Al, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

I bless the sands down in Agrabah

With a Girl Named River (Proud Mary - Credence Clearwater Revival)
(Because I'm still mad they cancelled it, here's the plot to the pilot episode of Firefly. I could have made some better rhymes by making references to other episodes, but I really wanted to keep it to the pilot.)
Left a good job back on Shadow
Fought 'gainst the Alliance in Serenity
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the Earth that used to be
We'll rule over this land,
and we will call it This Land
Fleeing, fleeing, with a girl named River
Stole a lot of crates for Badger
then tried to unload them on Persephone
Badger wouldn't buy them, so we'll go to Whitefall
and sell 'em all to Patience; yes, she once shot me
Dobson stopped our flyin'
With him, we're not complyin'
Opened, that crate, met a girl named River
Opened, that crate, met a girl named River
Almost got caught by some Reavers
after we unloaded Badger's stolen hoard,
then pilot Hoban Washburne pulled a Crazy Ivan
and we escaped with River and Simon on board
You can't take the sky, an'
Serenity's still flyin'
Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
Flyin', flyin', with a girl named River
