Some of these would be crazy to use but...
"She Drives like Crazy" by Weird Al
"Keep Rockin' in the Free World"
and that Break Away song used in Sympathy for the Devil, possibly a gate song.

you know i wos thinking about bugs and how he would have appeared in the warriors world...
now i was thinking about the difference in views here and there and i think that here we would see bugs pulling out disguises and weapons out of thin air and go 'hey its a cartoon'
over there it would probably get people going oh hes probably got some funky power that allows him to carry all that stuff and weapons. like perhaps a walking pocketspace ability? or is able to manifest the weapons for a brief period?
interesting how reality shapes what is perceived as normal ^^

...in Shapeshifters, one I'm not responsible for. If you've got the book, you know that every page has a little grey silhouette of a man, a wolfman, or something in between. Only recently did I discover that these are arranged such that the pictures are a "flipbook" animation, that can be run for either left or right-hand pages.

What oddball/funny songs does Doug have in his helmet?
Something like "Springtime for Hitler" from "The Producers?"
And what fun can you _not_ have with Frank Zappa?
Or how about "Rabbit Valley" by the Four Postmen?

Hello, I'm the Foxboy who's authoring "I Was a Teenage Dummy Plug."
Just spotted this forum while trying to shatter my writer's block, and noticed a reference to IWATDP.
That said, I'll say that DW II is one of the better semi-self-inserts I've read so far...
Any how, I'll prolly make a few random posts here and there every now and then.
Thanks for your time and effort.

I'm not sure if this ones been brought up before
The Creatures - Godzilla!
I never wanted a spinning top
I used to swing a riding crop
I never wanted a stupid doll
I used to swing a tomahawk
And then I saw him and I was won
Godzilla, King Kong
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns
I like the way he jumps up and down
I like the way he shakes the ground
He's even better when he's annoyed
He breaths out fire and makes this noise
I'd like to hold him in my arms
I'd never let him come to harm
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns
Godzilla
Ha
Godzilla
Ha
What is that?
What is this?
A giant Monster
But he's so sweet!
When I'm in Tokyo or Japan
I'm always thinking its his land
The other toys are second best
Godzilla, I love him best
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats the towns
Godzilla
He trashes cars
Godzilla
He's not from Mars
Godzilla
He'll knock you down
Godzilla
He eats big towns

"I'm going to stop you, Pink. It's that simple."
"Yeah, right," Pink snarled. "You and what army?"
I smiled and shook my head. "No army. I don't *need* an army.
Just me."

Daley gaped as the massive, familiar saurian head rose above the
MegaTokyo skyline, opened its mouth, and bellowed a distinctive
roar that echoed back and forth across the city. The plates
running along the creature's spine began to glow. Then it opened
its mouth once more and belched forth a jet of radioactive fire.
"We're gonna need bigger guns," said Leon calmly.

When I first laid out the itinerary for the Walk, I very intentionally mixed equal amounts of anime and non-anime destinations. I did not want it to become an all-anime work, as I felt that would limit its potential audience, and besides, some of the non-anime places I wanted to send him were fun. At the moment, though, the Buckaroo Banzai Step (DW4) is the only survivor of that part of the original batch of worlds.
In the last couple months, though, Peggy and I have talked about other possible destinations, mainly in the context of the very highly hypothetical sequel series Drunkard's Vacation, which would send Doug and Shadowwalker bouncing together around several universes intentionally. At the moment, my two particular favorite destinations for these discussions are engaging my imagination so strongly that I might move them into the Walk (although to do so I'd have to remove Maggie, and that would annoy Peggy no end). Just as a teaser, they are:
1. The turn-of-the-century Egypt of Elizabeth Peters' "Amelia Peabody Emerson" books. If you're familiar with these, I'm thinking of setting it at a point somewhere during Nefret and Ramses' mutual teenage years. I've been looking forward to a confrontation between an annoyed Doug and a couple of (retired) Egyptian gods who think he's such a nice boy...
2. The Chicago of the "Bishop Blackie" mysteries by Andrew Greeley. This one would be a fun challenge, because I'm planning on Doug playing it very very low key here -- no obvious metapower usage, although there will be some questions his presence will raise that Blackie Ryan will never quite be able to resolve. Since this universe is the same as that in Greeley's "Angels" books, there are godlike creatures at work in it -- vast, multidimensional beings who sound a whole lot like the gods of my cosmology, only on a lesser scale -- and Doug may well draw their attention.
(Edit: I really do know how to spell "Egyptian", honestly.)

Hello. I just started reading DW II the other day, and I was working my way through Chapter 11, when I noticed something odd. I may be wrong, and I'm probably not the first to spot this, but I believe that the Amazon Quartet is from SM:S, the *fourth* season, and they're associated with the Dead Moon Circus. The Dark Moon Family's defecting quartet is, I believe, the Uncanny Sisters.
Is this a research error (happens to everyone) or is it just a difference between the worlds?
