9. Doctor Who
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFDDLvJvFDM Victim: Scissor Sisters' I Can't Decide One of the easiest ways to ruin a very creepy - but fun to sing - song is to attach it to a terrible episode of the long running BBC series Doctor Who. After the shows relaunch in 2005, producer Russel T. Davies seemed to make it a point to introduce more modern music to the adventures of the famous Timelord. The Master, in this incarnation played by John Simm, manages to capture David Tennant's Doctor and the two spend an uncomfortable period of time together as the Master makes his fellow Timelords life a living hell. The Master turns the Doctor into an old man and forces him and the family of his companion to do his bidding. John Simm does a fancy dance number, kisses the woman playing his wife and does the general supervillain bit of explaining his plans for domination of Earth. While many of the lyrics overlap what's happening ("you've played by all the same rules" and "it takes the truth to fool me") the joyful murderous melody is lost in the psychotic dancing of our bleached-blonde villain. Very few viewers want to imagine David Tennant as a crumbling old man, and certainly no one wants to remember John Simm putting his tongue down a woman's throat while a song about murder plays over the bridge of an aircraft.
