In 1985, the BBC put Doctor Who on hiatus for a year. Fearing its spiraling ratings would mean it never came back, a group of fans got together and released a charity single. Known as “Doctor in Distress,” it’s one of the most awful things the universe has ever produced. Originally meant to feature Elton John and the Village People, the single ultimately netted some lesser members of several bands you may never have heard of, including Ultravox, Tight Fit, and Bucks Fizz. Meanwhile, the lyrics tried to tell the history of Doctor Who with appalling rhymes like: “We learnt to accept six doctors with companions at their side / when they were faced with danger they didn’t run, they didn’t hide.” Someone decided to put the whole thing to a mid-’80s synth score. The result was disastrous. So who was responsible for this atrocity? Which talentless hack was guiding that tune as it butchered the concept of music? None other than Hans Zimmer, who would go on to score The Lion King, the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and 12 Years a Slave. (from Listverse) youtube/watch?v=-p1AjE4eDH8#t=147
