It occurred to me that if Doug hadn't used 'With A Little Help From My Friends to summon the (simulated) Warriors to him, then this one might have had a similar effect. For a nasty twist, the last verse might result in him getting home dimension-wise - but only if he dies in battle while singing it.

Here our soldiers stand from all around the world
Waiting in a line to hear the battle cry
All are gathered here victory is near
The sound will fill the hall bringing power to us all
We alone are fighting for metal that is true
We own the right to live the fight we're here for all of you
Now swear the blood upon your steel will never dry
Stand and fight together beneath the metal sky
Brothers Everywhere
Raise you hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of The World
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We're warriors
Warriors of The World
Many stand against us but they will never win
We said we would return and here we are again
To bring them all destruction suffering and pain
We are the hammer of the Gods we are thunder wind and rain
There they wait in fear with swords in feeble hands
With dreams to be a King first one should be a man
I call them out and charge them all with a life that is a lie
And in their final hour they shall confess before they die
Brothers Everywhere
Raise you hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of The World
Like thunder from the sky
Sworn to fight and die
We're warriors
Warriors of The World
If I should fall in battle my brothers who fight by my side
Gather my horse and weapons tell my family how I died
Until then I will be strong I will fight for all that is real
All who stand in my way will die by steel
Brothers Everywhere
Raise you hands into the air
We're warriors
Warriors of The World

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

That scene of Doug summoning his team mates got me thinking..what if he needed to raise a combat force?
"Onward Christian Soldiers"..would he get an army of Crusaders?
"Battle Hymm of the Republic" ...the Army of the Potomac?
"Gary Owen"..I'm not sure whether everyone around would get the effects of alcohol poisoning or would he get the 7th Cavalry Regiment..if so in what incarnation?
He could get anything from a horse regiment to an airmobile battalion or an tank battalion..or heaven help him..maybe even a BOLO!
It would be wild if he played the opening song of GI Joe...the appearance of the Special Mission Force would freak out anybody.

Actually, knowing Doug, this would probably summon the announcer from "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In"...

Which version? The movie version has more "oomph" in my opinion. I did notice Ed had a scene where he had a GI Joe simulation in one of his fics.

Movie version I think. I'm not an expert on GI theme songs.

Lyrics by: Barry Harman
Music by: Ford Kinder and Spencer Michlin

Crashing through the night
Comes a fear full cry
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
No where to run
No where to hide
Panic spreading far and wide
Who can turn the tide?
GI Joe- A real American hero
Yo Joe!
GI Joe is there
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
Can the world oppose
Deadliest of foes?
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
Joes will risk it all
To end the evil call of
Cobra! Cobra! Cobra! Cobra!
They never give up
They never say die
Walking tall with banners high
They sound the battle cry-
Yo Joe! Yo Joe!
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly trained
special mission force.
It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra-
a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
Cobra! Retreat! Retreat!
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
GI Joe
A .wav of the first mini-series' theme (with "...and Destro" instead of "...the enemy" can be found where I got these lyrics:
www.joeheadquarters.com/l...joe1.shtml
...Y'know, this was a lot better with the music. Actually, the music would be a lot better without the lyrics.
But then, the G.I. Joe cartoon wasn't much, especially compared to Larry Hama's comic version. (Oddly, though, I preferred cartoon Transformers to their comic...)
That site also has Cobra's subliminal rock piece "Cold Slither," as performed by the Dreadnoks.
--Sam Ashley
"...And knowing is half the battle!"

...I have got to start using the preview options when incorporating html tags... n.n;
--Sam
"How the hell did I do that?!"

I believe the ending of the movie was the instrumental version.

There's also G.I. Jew by the same guys that did the Silence of the Lambs musical. I guess it could be used if you were short a man and needed a minyan for a brief time. Or something.

Bob, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

If he wants just one man..."I Need a Hero" by Bonnie Tylor is just the thing.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about a minion, I was talking about a minyan. Basically, a minyan is a quorum of ten adult Jewish men (or, if you're in a more liberal sect, women too) which is necessary for formal services. As the old saying goes, ten cobblers can make up a minyan, but nine rabbis can't. In a more general sense, it takes ten people to comprise a community, or to divide private and public life.
I was being facetious though. Since Doug can only create simulacra, it wouldn't count anyway.
Anyway Offsides, so what's your idea? You can't just leave us hanging.

Absolutely I can - it's part of the Top Secret files for future stories All I will say for now is that it's prtially related to an Omake I wrote some time ago that will not made public until some future chapter of Doug's travels has been revealed (because it has spoilers aplenty, and besides the story may not really go that way given that it's not been written yet). All I will say is that it's not related to DW V...
Bob can/will reveal more when he wants to, but I'm pretty sure he don't yet

Yer right, he don't.
