I decided to start this thread to dump a collection of songs that fit under this category: they actually might have a use, so they don't qualify as songs that Doug should never play, but are not useful enough for their own threads. Some, of course, may qualify as misfires; for most of them, I have suggested powers.
9 Coronas ('99) - John Mammoser (Doug can cast Power Word: Slosh, but also it also effects Doug for the duration)
Salt And Sugar - The Gomers (For the duration of the song, Doug can transmute salt to sugar and vice versa)
Rosie Don't Bang On The Piano - Cliff Ferr w/ The Cafe Society Quintet (Area of effect: Obliviousness to Sexual Activity)
Alien Love - George McClure (Creates an amorous, attractive
female of obviously alien origin)
What I Like About Booze - DisTurbo (Creates a 'virtual liquor store'; while the song is playing, Doug can purchace any kind of cheap booze, the alcoholic beverage(s) appearing in his hand(s) instantaneously and the money vanishing from his pocket or bank account as he wishes. Prices are standard for the region Doug is currently in)
The Real Dick Cheney - Tom Perri (Allows Doug to see through any disguises or illusions... as long as said disguises or illusions are of Dick Cheney).
- Aleh, who is currently working on a Ranma fic in which Kunou decides the only way to beat the 'Foul Sorcerer' is to learn his ways... and is currently running around wearing a black helmet and calling himself 'Darth Kunou'.

I was at work today and for some reason I got to thinking of the O!MB step. It was all I could do not to snicker aloud when I realized that Doug is probably going to have a very interesting reaction to Chris' whole situation....given his general attitudes to gods up to then.
Doug: You made a wish...by mistake...and got turned into a GOD?!?
Heh. Or something to that effect. Somehow, I think a world where humans can become deities by slips of the tongue would be...worrisome?...to him.

Zombie Jamborie (Streetnix version)

It was a Zombie Jamboree
Right there in the New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Right there in the New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them were great Calypsonians
Since the season was Carnivale (season)
They got together in Bacchanal
Huh!
And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
One female zombie
She won't behave!
See how she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
In other hand she's knocking a conga drum
And now the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombies are rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away!"
And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
Back to back
Everyone, we sing!
Back to back
And belly to belly
Then back to back
A-One Two Three Four!
Hey hey hey hey hey
What a Zombie Jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, Downtown, Zombie Jamboree
Oo woh oo woh woh yeah yeah
There's a high wire zombie between the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call this city home!
Hah! What they do! Huh!
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
We do the Limbo!
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
Hey hey hey hey!

SEARCHING FOR NEW WORLD hito wa mina

everyone is searching for a new world
to achieve that overflowing dream
jumping over the horizon
not knowing what's beyond there
Bokutachi wa hasshite kita
Kibou ni tobikomi Yuuki dake wasure
Hitonami ni nagasarete
Taisetsu na mono nakushita
we've been running
jumping into hope, only to forget courage
being swept away by the crowd
we lost something important

that was the best smile I could make now
the mask overflowed with tears
and over the soggy mask
I once again hide myself with a new mask

I coninue to walk along the flat battle field
unable to warp and struggling, yeah!
at a far cape, the dream
waits patiently
even with a clumsy search
I can probably arrive there
Hai! Hai!
Hai! Hai!
hey! hey!

Boku wa itsumo shisen o sorasu

I always turn my gaze away
the unseen heart invited
me to run away
but at night I look up to the stars
looking through binoculars
searching for my place

I continue along the balanced battle field
grabbing onto an unwithering flower, yeah!
the far cape, I'm
beginning to get near
even if I lose my way
the waves will probably tell me
SEARCHING FOR NEW WORLD tamerai mo
Tomadoi mo shiiteita darou
Tachi agari fumi da saneba

searching for a new world, hesitation and
confusion, I probably knew it
if I don't stand and step out
there's something I can't obtain
SEARCHING FOR NEW WORLD hito wa mina

While I don't exactly like the translation, you should be able to get the gist of it.- Aleh, who is currently working on a Ranma fic in which Kunou decides the only way to beat the 'Foul Sorcerer' is to learn his ways... and is currently running around wearing a black helmet and calling himself 'Darth Kunou'.

...is less entertaining than watching the kbyte-meter for the last chapter tick over and trying to guess how much work is left... -Z, Post-reader at Medium

It occured to me that Xena, Warrior Princess might make for an interesting DW step. Plenty of gods running around, to give Doug headaches, not to mention the twisted version of ancient history. (I don't know if this has been mentioned before; I feel like it has been, but EZBoard's "Search" function didn't turn it up.)
On another note, the George R. R. Martin spam message of a few days ago got me thinking about whether GRRM's various books could make good DW steps. Song of Ice and Fire (his current series, a tie-in to which the spam was advertising) wouldn't be a good choice -- not only is it ongoing, but also the tone is pretty wrong. (It's simultaneously too epic and too gritty for Doug to fit in well.) However, some of his older works might work, though they'd be fairly off-beat as steps go. The Armageddon Rag has some cool music-related stuff, which might interact oddly with Doug's powers; Fevre Dream would give a chance to do Doug on the 19-century Mississippi River with an interesting take on vampires. Tuf Voyaging might be the oddest mix, but perhaps actually the most workable story-wise, since it's a collection of short stories.
Thoughts on either of these?

I was watching TV on Sunday, and lo and behold what appears on TV but "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the "musical" staring the BeeGees and featuring loads of Beatles music.
It's a rather star-studded production, feautring George Burns as the narrator, with cameos by Areosmith, Alice Cooper, and...Steve Martin. Steve Martin's bit is particularly hilarious, not the least of which because of the song:
Maxwell's Silver Hammer, The Beatles
Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

The band has a page with videos, other formats, and clips from their other songs.

I was thinking last night about random topics and became curious about something. Does Priss adopting Jessica stand in for the life Doug says she owes him. If not shrug just some random musing.

Just a random collection of links to videos that I found to be good.
Gravity of Utena
The above is one of the few Utena videos I've seen on par with the Bachelorette video. Had the pleasure of finding it before last year's dragon*con and seeing it, then watching as the amv track's audience was collectively awed during d*con itself.
(If the download doesn't work, I can provide it to anyone interested, assuming you have AIM and so forth. contact me at chibipoe@RemoveTHISmindspring.com)

An Excel vid done Pop-Up video style. What more needs to be said?
I know there's more, but from skimming this part of the forum, I think they've been covered. Apologies if these have been recommended before.
