Quinn the Eskimo
Bob Dylan

Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats,
Some are building monuments,
Others, jotting down notes,
Ev'rybody's in despair,
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet,
But guarding fumes and making haste,
It ain't my cup of meat.
Ev'rybody's 'neath the trees,
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.
A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all,
Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey,
And I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Proposed Effect 1: Like Rush's Tom Saywer, this makes everyone pay attention to him. When used in a large crowd, makes him instantly the "leader".
Proposed Effect 2: In a disaster, summons an avatar of a Power friendly to those affected to help.--

The Works of Christopher Angel

Come, lonely hunter, chieftain and king,
I will fly like the falcon when I go
Bear me my brother under your wing,
I will strike fell like lightning when I go
I will bellow like the thunder drum, invoke the storm of war
A twisting pillar spun of dust and blood up from the prairie floor
I will sweep the foe before me like a gale out on the snow
And the wind will long recount the story, reverence and glory, when I go

Spring, spirit dancer, nimble and thin,
I will leap like Coyote when I go
Tireless entrancer, lend me your skin,
I will run like the gray wolf when I go
I will climb the rise at daybreak, I will kiss the sky at noon
Raise my yearning voice at midnight to my mother in the moon
I will make the lay of long defeat and draw the chorus slow
I'll send this message down the wire and hope that someone wise is listening when I go

And when the sun comes trumpets from his red house in the east
He will find a standing stone where long I chanted my release
He will send his morning messenger to strike the hammer blow
And I will crumble down uncountable in showers of crimson rubies when I go

Sigh, mournful sister, whisper and turn,
I will rattle like dry leaves when I go
Stand in the mist where my fire used to burn,
I will camp on the night breeze when I go
And should you glimpse my wandering form out on the borderline 
Between death and resurrection and the council of the pines
Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the sky beside me when I go.

_Smoke On The Water_, by Deep Purple: fire powers - sorta Hazy Shade in reverse. Plus, it's longish.

_Space Truckin'_ also by Deep Purple: Another spacefilght song, but this one does it by conjuring something like the Big Pig from the She-Hulk comics space caper. Of course, it still only lasts as long as the song, but for that duration Doug's got some heavy duty cargo capacity as well as transatmospheric flight. Gotta be good for something.

_1-2-3_ by Gloria Estefan: quantity surveying powers. At a glance, Doug can tell you how many trees in a forest, average leaves per tree, squirrel population, etc. Or sand on a beach and seacreatures per square foot, people in a crowd and how many are armed, whatever, as long as it's something physical (not a chance something will happen, or how many times something has happened - unless theres some distinctive physical change to accompany each instance, like pocks in the wall where something has been slammed into it) that Doug could normally detect if he took the time, and which can be expressed as a single number or ratio. A very powerful effect if you think about it, but of such a narrow focus that it's reasonably allowable.

Just downloaded the Was (Not Was) tune "Walk the Dinosaur" after one of those odd moments where random memories surface. I was watching an anime music video cobled together using footage from the Mini-Goddesses episode that did the Godzilla parody and using Blue Oyster Cult song "Godzilla". Odd train of thought that made me remember a certain posting on the forum, from thence to the song and a desire to download out of curiousity. Have I mentioned how tangentally my mind works? But I digress.
Which leads to the non-critical technical question of the day.
I think Bob mentioned that "Walk the Dinosaur" would be a good Godzilla summoning song. Obviously "Godzilla" by BOC would do the same thing.
Could Doug segue from one to the other seamlessly and get over 7 minutes worth of Godzilla rampaging around if he really needed it?
For a more general question - can he do the same thing with two songs that have the same effects in general?
More than one song of his gives him electrical powers and the ability to manipulate computers. If he needed extra time for effects, could he segue the two songs right after each other and experience no fade out of the effects at a critical moment?
Anyway - just my odd thought of the day.-Logan

On a long and lonesome highway, East of Omaha,
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before,
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do,
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing else to do,
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through,
Say, here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold,
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode.
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can.
The same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
You always seem out-numbered, you don't dare make a stand.
Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again.
There I go, turn the page.
When you're out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away,
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away,
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echo from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, turn the page.
Here I am, on the road again.
There I am, up on the stage,
There I go, playing star again,
There I go, there I go.

Did you delete a topic Bob? Cause for some reason I see a new tag on a topic that's been dead for Months..."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."
