"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling"
-The Righteous Brothers
3:48
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.
So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.
Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo...
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...

Two options that I can see. This one could either be a 'mind-control' song (sort of a "fall out of love for almost 4 minutes" song), or a 'freedom' song ("You've lost/won't get that mystically-induced lovin' feeling"). I don't know which best fits Doug, so I won't decide- but if somebody more decisive has an opinion.....

"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"
-Dead or Alive
3:46

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out here I come
Chorus:
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
(Chorus)
I want your love...
I want your love...
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
(Chorus)
I want your love...
I want your love...
(Chorus, repeat and fade)

For those of us who remember Megaman ]I[, I'm thinking that this song is a perfect way to give Doug Top Man's power.
For the uninitiated here (or those who don't remember the game with any clarity), Top Man, one of the bosses of the game, had the power of... tops. When Megaman beat him, he got the Top Spin, which allowed him to spin- normally not a useful ability.
That's what I'm thinking here- this song would give Doug the ability to rotate about his standing y-axis without any visible expenditure of rotational force. Normally, this does very little (except make him dizzy), but if he attacks an enemy from midair while spinning (a rotating kick is the most obvious method here), it does more damage (or sometimes has a drill-like quality to it). This could also be used to replicate Ryu's hurricane kick, from the Street Fighter games, if Doug was so inclined, had knowledge of the series, and had plenty of leg armor.
Use of extra power (like the node in DW][), increases Doug's acceleration, as well as raising his top speed. It might be fun, if this rotation is ever clocked, to have its velocity come out as 16, 33.3333, 45, or 78 rpm...

That's certainly weird enough for Doug. And it's not like I haven't seen that power in a comic book character ever before...

didn't I suggest this song several months back? And I think I had basicly the same power idea (though I used Taz from Looney Toons as the comparison)__________________
