*/ Bif Naked, "Spaceman", 4:20 /*
i see your face on television, almost every day
in magazines and on the big screen
close yet far away
i wonder why you choose those others
and you never come to call on me
when i'm the one who's waiting for you
i really need you - please pick me!
spaceman, oh spaceman!
come rescue me from this!
calling all aliens!
come rescue me!
remember that night at my window
when i waved at you?
i must have been only five, or so,
but i never forgot you.

Seems to me that this would be perfect for interrupting a fight that isn't going well, by- as the song clearly suggests- having somebody pull him out of it from space.
The fun part is that "spaceman" would be defined by Doug's subconscious- he'd probably get rescued by sci-fi characters (or simulacra of sci-fi characters). I can easily see the song teleporting him out of danger in a classic Star Trek effect, or putting an open, 1960s London police call box in his path (which would disappear with him). As I see it, teleportation out of danger, with illusions thrown in.

I've been writing a bit.

Bob, I call "dibs" on this one. I can see the BSBW scene writing itself in the back of my mind even as I type this response...
(Edit: Besides, it's a Bif Naked song. I like her stuff...)
