Turn It Off by Caesars

It hits my mind right through my eyes

It hits my mind right through my ears

It hits my soul right through the air

But I feel nothing but despair

And it just makes me feel so empty

Then it just makes me feel so sad

So can't you please just turn it off?

'Cause it'll never make me glad

That song is eating up my brain

Destroys my world without restraints

It hits me time and time again

Trying hard to be my friend

But it just makes me feel so empty

And it just makes me feel so sad

So can't you please just turn it off?

'Cause it'll never make me glad

And it just makes me feel so empty

And it just makes me feel so sad

So can't you please just turn it off?

'Cause it'll never make me glad

Turns off Doug's
reaction to a song. Could be for just the next song or a time limit. The lyrics suggest only for the next song. A
big problem would be if an enemy found out about the song.

Fortunately, he can counter with "Turn It On" by Genesis. If this worked on a time limit (especially a long one) this could actually be a patch for the "not able to just LISTEN to good music" problem.

I'm thinking that (because Doug's subconscious can be a dick) if a song is played during the effect of Turn It Off, that counts as using the suppressed song for the 24-hour rule.

Yeah, I could see that...

NO QUARTER!!!

A reading of the lyrics could also support "induce crippling depression" as an effect, making it a potent emotional warfare tool.

Mm. I like both interpretations. I'm going to have to think hard on this one.

Have it do both.  The songs target not only gets it's primary power turned off for a day, the target also becomes severely (possibly suicidally) depressed
  

...about having its power turned off. Works for me.
