"You Gotta Move" by Aerosmith
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
Oh... when my God gets ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You may be high
You may be low
You may be rich... yeah
You may be poor
But when the Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You may be old
You may be young
You may be weak
Maybe high-strung
But when the good Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You see dat woman
Who walks the street
You see dat cop man
Who walks his beat
But when the Lord gets ready
They gotta move
They gotta move
Yeah I was hangin' with the Devil when we made a pact
I'm drinkin' welfare whiskey smokin' food stamp crack
It was one part sour... two parts sweet
Three parts strong... and four parts weak
I would rather sit on a pumpkin
And have it all to myself
Then to be crowded on a velvet cushion
You may be blind
You can not see
You may be deaf
It's all meant to be
Now when the Lord get ready
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You gotta move
You got to know
When the good get ready
You gotta move
Huh huh... you gotta
You gotta move...

I think this would be a good gate song, but I can also see it as a "Remove Paralysis" trigger. Any kind of paralysis - magical, chemical, or even psychological - will be negated and replaced with the energy and will to get up and move. Thirty seconds of this song might be a good magegift substitute for caffeine (although "Good Morning" from "Singin' in the Rain" might be more effective).Ebony the Black Dragon

"Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."

Given the lyrics and religious theme the song could also kill somebody, thereby moving them to the afterlife.
Given the repeated references to God, the Lord, and the Devil I don't think that Doug would use the song anyway.

"Anyone can be a winner if their definition of victory is flexible enough." - The DM of the Rings XXXV

Shepherd is right in that regard -- Doug would be very very wary of the possibility of invoking a Power with that song. Although -- as folks may have guessed -- he'll be a little less paranoid about that after DW5, he still doesn't want unwelcome divine/infernal attention. Especially with the bit about making a pact with the Devil in there...

I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So theeeeeere....

Sounds more like theme music to a scene in the current story.
