Dugga Doo!

shivverMy husband is currently doing a run in "Kingdom of Loathing" (a totally weird webgame that he's been playing for over two decades now; I played it as well and loved it, but didn't care to invest the time that it needs to be played well and stopped playing it after about four years) and he sent me an item description over Slack, with this exchange:
Him: Gabagool is not the most delicious member of the salumi-like meat family, but it is the most fun to say.
Me: That is so true. Sounds like a Doctor Who monster.
And then I thought for a moment about why it sounded like a DW monster, and I realized I was thinking about the Interstellar Song Contest's performer Dugga Doo. So, of course, I pulled up the video on YouTube.
And THEN I remembered Gallifrey One. You see, at the end of every Gally, the penultimate event is "The Year in Review", which is an hour-long video montage of things that happened during the past year -- usually clips of news events and interviews and such with the actors that played the Doctor or the companions.
This year, however, started with the entire Dugga Doo video, which everyone loved and we were all singing along. And then the video said:
"And now! One full hour of Dugga Doo!"
Best "Year in Review" ever!!
(No, it really wasn't a full hour of Dugga Doo. But it was hilarious.)

Dugga Doo actually has fanfic!
