Yet another song "Turning Japanese"

[hmelton]

I heard part of this song the other day for the first time in several years and thought I'd look the words up.
After reading them I thought thy might form a song that could change Boomers into Japanese citizens.
Depending on what Loon's power latchs onto it could have serveral effects.

The Song might have the possiblity of
Making the Loon look asian
Making the Loon think he looks asian.
Making all nearby boomers human enough to be Japanese citizens.
create a million pictures around the Loon
Giving him a x-ray picture of a person or persons.
Banish all women from near him or maybe all drugs.
It might even turn the Loon into a creepy Lone Ranger

TURNING JAPANESE - The Vapors
---------------------------------------
I've got your picture of me and you
You wrote "I love you" I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning 'round

Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them all round my cell
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
and turning in and turning 'round


Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so


No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a psyched lone-ranger Everyone


Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so
Turning Japanese, I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I really think so

All this and more could be yours, if the Price is Right...
Some of these might be a bit too powerful, but some are delightfully weird. The first two options are the most likely, one being the success, the other a backfire...

I think I might be able to guess what you are watching while sick.

The weirdest thing I have come up with was the song turning the Loon into a Japanese wearing a lone ranger outfit complete with mask, guns and silver bullets.
The silver bullets would come in handy if he ever encounters a werewolf, but I think the loon would consider it a back fire most of the time.

Or the quick and easy way into an exclusive costume party.

He's done that kind of thing before, in game...

I'm not exactly sure why, but the Loon going to parties makes me think of the "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy".
I wonder what ditties such as "99 bottles of beer on the wall" would do, especially when the Loon has had a little too much to drink.

Thinking about that I'm surprised the Loon doesn't carry a mechanical music player for those times when electronics isn't available.

He could have 3 or 4 such golden oldies stored on cylinders for a windup watch he bought on sherlock's home world.
"here we go round the mulberry bush",
"pop goes the weasal",
"row row row your boat",
"this old man he played knick knac", and
"hey diddle diddle the cat with the fiddle".

Don't forget the "Crystal Ball with Clairaudience, Recording, and Playback" for those worlds where magic works but tech doesn't! [grin]
(Good for blackmail as well...)
Hmm. Is the Loon susceptible to barbershop quartets? Massed choral singing? Carol singers? [grin]
Then, there are the songs of things like Sirens, Harpies, Lamia, etc.
Christmas cards with built-in song chips???
[grin]
I don't recall anything from the write-ups of how Doug's powers work about this, but does sticking his fingers in his ears and repeatedly chanting "I'm Not Listening" at the top of his voice do him any good? [grin]

I think Bob's said before that acapella doesn't do anything for Doug, and given that he's been in a world where music correctly played *is* magic before Bob gave the answer here, I'd have to say that even magical singing wouldn't work for Doug unless it was accompanied with instruments. If it *was*... I dunno. That could be kind of scary, actually, espescially if it turned into a heterodyne/amplifier effect on something that already affects everyone in listening range.
