Songs to fit a few powers - David Lewis - 03-30-2021 I know the sub is meant for speculation and suggestions for Songs for Doug and the resulting powers, but I want to try the reverse for once. So I’ve been putting thought into a few kinds of powers that I can’t remember there being an official version/ruling of, and wonder if anyone else has a better memory or imagination then me. The powers I’m thinking of in particular are - A summon/transform into Combat Gear song, something that would allow Doug to get into gear without actually having to do it by hand, be it by summoning his stuff or transforming the clothes he’s currently wearing into them. A plant manipulation/chlorokinesis powerset, something like Poison Ivy or similar. There’s been dozens of different fire/earth/water/lightning style power songs, but I don’t think this one has come up before. A go-into-movies/tv power, something like Control Freak from the old Teen Titans cartoon, I imagine Doug entering into actual Looney Tunes or slapstick comedies or such to schmooze with the occupants. Or maybe a Kung-Fu movie for martial arts practice or something. RE: Songs to fit a few powers - robkelk - 03-30-2021 If you're going to manipulate plants, first you need some plants to manipulate. "Garden Song of Miracles", by Ziggy Marley with Stephen Marley. RE: Songs to fit a few powers - ECSNorway - 03-30-2021 Or there's "The Garden Song".

We also know that 'Take On Me' by a-ha lets Doug go into comic books and manga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Rk3sGBk6U Now this is a cover by the rock band First to Eleven that might give an interesting option for (checks actual play time, because they talk to the audience at the end of the video) roughly 3:35. Might still be limited to animated works rather than live action, hard to say, probably something for testing. RE: Songs to fit a few powers - itsune9tl - 04-01-2021 Well, I would imagine that There's enough covers of "A Sharp Dressed Man" to dress Doug appropriately for just about any situation.

I thought the original conjured up a simulacrum of Tuxedo Mask... One of the covers could give Doug the powers of Tuxedo Mask. Roses everywhere... Too bad the Sailor Moon step is after the Utena step.

How would that Rose duel be Judged? One of the Duelists is using Roses as his weapon. ;p RE: Songs to fit a few powers - David Lewis - 04-02-2021 I stumbled across one that might work for the 'Enter Videos' power Cabinet Man by Lemon Demon (4:23) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ_P3F3nA1U The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played Inside my workshop behind the old arcade Electric desires had unraveled all my wires Now I'm in the box for safekeeping The news reporters reported that I died But all my organs were living on inside Circuit board to brain with two lungs collecting change One big human heart gently beeping You can't win me, I can't be beat I won't hurt you unless you cheat You can't see me behind the screen I'm half human and half machine Thank God for business, they let me take the floor I stood so proudly, like I was going to war Players soon appeared and I quickly was revered This must be what love would have felt like Such dedication, they came from miles away With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play In perfect patient lines because I was in their minds I could do whatever I felt like (Whatever I felt like) You can't win me, I can't be beat I won't hurt you unless you cheat You can't see me behind the screen I'm half human and half machine I'm happy for years and years And only eating the occasional maintenance man Only driving a few kids to madness Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows? I only want to have fun But now they're telling me my days here are done 'Cause there's a little tiny box they make in Japan And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin Breaking me and taking my quarters Bashing in my face with a crowbar Kicking me and pushing me over Now they see my blood on their sneakers You can't win me, I can't be beat I won't hurt you unless you cheat You can't see me behind the screen I'm half human and half machine There's a dark undertone and ending to the song, but the 'see me behind the screen' line might make it work. |
