In 5,000,000,000, the song was also played on an antique "iPod" (actually a jukebox) aboard Platform One shortly before the destruction of Earth. The Ninth Doctor danced to the song. (TV: The End of the World [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)

The Ninth Doctor reflected on "Tainted Love" as something which was "fantastic". (POEM: Shortness of Breath [+]James Goss, Now We Are Six Hundred (Harper Design, 2017).)
