Get Me Out Of Here
Billy Pilgrim
www.billypilgrim.net/
www.roelofs.net/pilgrim/sounds/billy.pi ... e.live.mp3 (linked from the band's download page, so it's legitimate).
People live below me up above me to the sides
Even if I wanted to I got no place good to hide
Concrete is my color and commerce it's my pride
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
'Cause I can't live like this
Alone along the crowded streets among the circus freaks
I saw Jezebel and Claribel and they were begging mister please
You can help me too I said and gave them my T.V.
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
Cause I can't live like
My hands are twitching brain is frazzled
Carryin on in fits
I can't carry on in this frenzied state I'm in
The last time that I saw you, you were wearing a disguize
And hiding from some lawyers who were buzzing gray haired flies
Dried out bloodshot eyes have you forgotten how to cry
Get me out of here
No one should live like this
Get me out of here
From the subway's steamy kiss
Take me to the country and dip me in some bliss
Get me out of here
Cause I can't live like
Out of here
Cause I can't live like
Out of here

Abenobashi Step? |

Bob--
How about a step based on Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai? It's a hilarious series, and appropriately enough, focuses on world-hopping. Doug would fit right into a superhero themed step, but even he might be surprised, since the world always winds up going over the top.
The basic premise of the series, if you haven't seen it, is that the two protagonist children, Sasshi and Arumi are from the Abenobashi shopping district in Osaka. They wind up being transported to a series of parallel worlds, each one having the Shotengai and people they know, but usually playing up a particular genre, e.g. a swords and sorcery world, a science-fiction world, a film noir world, etc.

A Loon
Some store I'm not going back there any more
Wandered in don't think I'll do that again
No I don't think I'll do that again.
I swear you look at me cross-eyed
And I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do crazy loon.
There's a room in his pallet
There's a pillow for his head
Sees an offshoot in his bottle
When he wants to see me dead
Heirlooms a loon.
Never thought I'd see that silly grin
Never thought I'd see that fool again
Never thought I'd like that lunatic.
Nothing left to dance around
What a hero
What a black and blue bird
What a loon a loon
What a loon a loon.
Found it when I was searching around on Leo's Lyrics. I thought it was kind of cool. I haven't been able to listen to it yet, though. Can't find it anywhere!

Hanoi Xan, World Crime League, and "antecedents" |

Radio Announcer: Who is Hanoi Xan? What is the World Crime League? Is this Hanoi Xan the same Hanoi Shan who terrorized Paris in the 1900s? Can the World Crime League be the remnants of Prof. Moriarty's criminal empire? Or is it truly the Si-Fan and Hanoi Shan The Devil Doctor Fu Manchu? Can even our hero Doug stop someone who has confounded Buckaroo Banzai, Sir Denis Nayland Smith, and even Solar Pons?
Maybe.

Now, I have a suggestion for a future Walk--the world of Giant Robo.
I think that Doug would have an interesting reaction to the world of Giant Robo. It is certainly similar to the Warriors' World, in that the super people, the ESPers in this case, are an established world-peace-keeping force with branches all over (though their European presence is diminished) or a world-wide terrorist-crime organization. Super-science and super-people. But I also think that the differences, and Doug's reaction to them, would be great too. Mostly because it seems to me that the Warriors are a paramilitary organization, whereas the Experts of Justice are a police organization, much more reactive than a paramilitary org. would be but also intentionally made that way. It certainly seems to me that Doug's "pro-active" attitude would in some ways clash with the IPO's reactive stance (though the argument could be made that all actions are reactions, so nothing is pro-active per se; but let's not get into that). I think that the two different mindsets clashing here would be interesting and, to Doug, possibly frustrating to see an organization much like his but also not.
And Doug's powerlevel would fit right in; he wouldn't be the most powerful around, but he wouldn't exactly be a pushover.

Do covers of songs have a different effect from the original?
Such as, would Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," imprison someone in an energy barrier and Me First And the Gimme Gimmes version give a targeted enemy worse direction sense than Ryouga?
And that's not even touching on showtunes.
Oh, my recommendation: "Dies Irae" from Verdi's Requiem. I see it as a wave of invisible power emanating from Doug that turns everything around him for as far as he can see into ash and dust like the fist of god.
It's an angry day song.
And the song that Doug should never hear is "England Made Me" by Black Box Recorder.
I had a dream last night, that I was drunk
I killed the stranger, and left him in a trunk
In Brighton railway station
It was an unsolved case
A famous murder mystery
People love mystery

Yet another couple of fun ones |

I heard The Who's "Mobile" on the way home, and thought of a nifty way to use it. While the song is playing, it has 2 major effects:
1) Doug cannot stop moving - he can control it to a greater degree, but he will always have at least a really bad case of the Jitters. Nothing will be able to restrain him or hold him down, and he is partially exempt from the 1st Law of Newtonian Mechanics. That is, "A body in motion stays in motion." If he chooses, he can go right through things - of course, it will probably hurt...
2) Security systems, audit trails, cops, revenue collectors, and the like simply don't see him (or his activities). SO he could hack through a system, and they would know stuff happenned after the fact, but during it they would be oblivious to it.
A second song that I thought up for no apparent reason is "Here's Your Sign", by Travis Tritt with Bill Engvall. The net effect of the song is that Doug can pull out Bugs Bunny style signs with anything he wants on them, in any size up to around that of a billboard, and then put them back into nowhere. The only caveat is that during the song he can't speak...
