I was looking for a song in which Doug can summon a mecha if he has to. The opening song of The Big O by
Nagai Rui springs to mind.
Light a light in a lonely heart
Dying me with words Ye god!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Cast in the name of God
Ye not the guilty
We have came to team!
Big-O!
Swear an eternal oath
to this city that lost all of its past.
Light a light in a lonely heart
Dying me with words
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Now I grant you the song is ripoff of the "Flash Gordon" song by Queen, but it's not bad.
Having an EVA sized mecha to pilot is nothing to sneeze at either.

I think Doug would more likely to go the remote control route...
Try Gigantor [the space age robot]:
Gigantor the Space age Robot!
He's at your command!
Gigantor the Space Age Robot!
His power is in your hands.
He's bigger than big!
Stronger than Strong!
Ready to fight for right!
Against wrong!.
Where did you find those verses, ordnance? My two copies of the opening song are limited to:
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Cast in the name of God
Ye not the guilty
We have came to team!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!

Well, yeah. The extended version is even more obvious about it.

But for plot reasons he can't have this song before DW6...

Not to mention that Doug would actually
know this one, having grown up (like me) with it.

Does that mean he WILL use it on DW6?
If he does, use the season 2 version...the final form can probably knock the orbiting angel into the moon.

'not bad'!? I use that theme song to torture my roommates when they anger me.

Okay, let me rephrase that. He cannot have this song until
after DW6.

Well, I still think that a step to a world where giant robots and mecha were commonplace would be a great idea, and then songs like these would fit in nicely.
I think it'd work best if it was somewhat retro: Giant Robo, Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Gekiganger, Tetsujin 28, etc. would work well. Macross or Gundam would not.
And of course while all of those series have great villains, I'd like to see the monsters from Chojin Sentai Jetman, which were just hilariously awful in that they were typically everyday items like a bus, a traffic light, cup ramen, etc. if not worse, like the stage light combined with an armadillo. I swear I am not making this up.
Maybe I'll send him to "Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot". It's even got a UN agency he can fit into.
