Songs to fit a few powers
Songs to fit a few powers
#1
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.

If you're going to manipulate plants, first you need some plants to manipulate. "Garden Song of Miracles", by Ziggy Marley with Stephen Marley.

Or there's "The Garden Song".

Sucrose Octanitrate.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

We know that covers can have related, but not identical effects. We also know that 'Take On Me' by a-ha lets Doug go into comic books and manga.

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.

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. Smile

How would that Rose duel be Judged? One of the Duelists is using Roses as his weapon.  ;p

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.
