"The Twelve Days of Christmas" was a Christmas song. It included lyrics about "a partridge in a pear tree" and "ten lords a-leaping".
Christmas carollers sang the song in Shrewsbury in 1993. (PROSE: The Sommerton Fetch [+]Peter Anghelides, Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas (Short Trips short stories, 2007).)

- The 2017 webcast The 12 Doctors of Christmas was a “music video” showcasing a Doctor Who reimagining of the song. The title of the anthology Twelve Doctors of Christmas spoofed the song in the same fashion.
