The first song is one that sticks in my head when reading DW2. It is the scene where Doug is on the roof of his apartment building and he calls up the simulcrum of his wife.
"Missing You" by Jem off the Finally Woken album
I wish this could be
a happy song
But my happiness disappeared
the moment you were gone
Don't think I ever believed that
this day would come
Now all I'm feeling
is lost and numb
And ohhh I know I promised
Mmmm that I would try
But I, yes I, miss you
and it's killing inside
I'll always be thankful
for the time we had
We were blessed
I should celebrate
but I feel too sad
All the wonderful memories
just make me fall apart
And it feels like somebody's
stabbed me in my heart
And ohhh I know I promised
Mmmm that I wouldn't cry
But I, yes I, miss you
and it's killing inside
Ooh well I, yes I, miss you
want you by my side
Walking, holding hands
Talking, making plans
Touching my heart my soul
I wish this could be
a happy song
But my happiness disappeared
the moment you were gone
Tell me it's not happening
Say it's not as it seems
Tell me that I'm gonna wake up
It's just a bad dream
Please tell me that it's fiction
Tell me it's just a lie
Whatever you choose to tell me
Please say he didn't die
And I, yes I, miss you
and it's killing inside
Ooh well I, yes I, miss you
want you by my side
Ooh well I, miss you
want you by my side
Back here by my side
Here by my side

This second song is also by Jem. I see it as a possible Mind Control song for Doug. I would hazzard that it would only work on the opposite sex. There could be some... interesting side effects for Doug depending on how his subconscious mind hears the lyrics.
Come on closer
I wanna show you
What I'd like to do
You sit back now
Just relax now
I'll take care of you
Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
Gonna take it slow babe
Do it my way
Keep your eyes on me
Your reaction
To my action
Is what I want to see
Rhythmic motion
Raw emotion
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
And now you're satisfied
A twinkle in your eye
Go to sleep for ten
And anticipating
I will be waiting
For you to wake again
Hot temptations
Sweet sensations
Infiltrating through
Sweet sensations
Hot temptations
Coming over you
[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]
[When you wake up we'll
do it all again]
[When you wake up]
Hour after hour
of sweet pleasure
After this I guarantee
you'll never wanna leave
Shut your eyes and think about
what I'm about to do
Sit back relax I'll take my time
this lovin's all for you

Having seen Marller fight in several episodes of AMG! TV, I'm curiously anticipating the fight between her and the Loon. She seems to go for the brute force approach.

When I was a girl I was idealistic,
Going on the marches, carrying the signs,
Social injustice made me go ballistic,
I cheered for the people on the picket lines.
Well the years went by and I got a little weary,
All tied up in the needs of the child,
I don't read the papers and I have no theory,
But there's one thing that drives me wild:
(I'm talking 'bout)
Stickers on fruit, stickers on fruit,
God, I hate those stickers on fruit,
My distress is so acute
When I deal with stickers on fruit,
Sticker on the apple, sticker on the pear,
Why do they put those stickers on there?
If you don't get them off on the very first day
They take the skin away...
I used to get annoyed at the government of Chile,
I used to boycott Nestle's Quick,
I shed a lot of tears when I watched Free Willy
And O.J.'s trial just made me sick.
I sang at lots of benefits, I wrote a lot of songs,
I got agitated by the agit-prop,
Now I know it's hopeless to right those wrongs,
But there's one thing we've got to stop.
(Are you with me?)
Stickers on fruit, stickers on fruit,
God, I hate those stickers on fruit,
My distress is so acute
When I deal with stickers on fruit,
Sticker on the berry, the red and the blue,
And of course they put stickers on the vegetables too,
Well, call me thick and call me lazy,
But dealing with the stickers just makes me crazy!
Stickers on fruit! Stickers on fruit!
God, I hate those stickers on fruit!
Take me away to the institute
Where I won't have to deal with
Stickers on fruit.

Nancy White, Stickers on Fruit (copyright 2002 Nancy White)

(No, I've never seen this song available for download, maybe because the song immediately before it on the CD is an anti-piracy piece called "And I Copied It". You can order the CD "Stickers on Fruit" from www.borealisrecords.com. Bob, I'll get you a copy of the CD; consider it a very late Christmas present.)
What power would Stickers on Fruit give Doug? Simple: While the song's playing, people aren't fanatical about anything except one extremely trivial thing. That's probably not enough to permanently shake off the Servant Factor personality reprogramming, but for for 2 minutes and 34 seconds they've got relatively clear heads; that may be enough to pass along something important. Just don't show anyone a piece of fruit with a sticker on it while the song's playing...

So, I'm curious about something, Bob.
Would Glory actually qualify as a God to Doug? Or just a Very Powerful Demon? (and, though it's not really relevant...what would he make of Illyria?)

Yep, that's right... yet another gate song. I heard this on the radio *months* ago, and finally found the lyrics. My ears and thinking recon it's one of my better finds. For a while I couldn't locate the lyrics as I though it was sung by The Corrs. I don't know if there is any music verison on the net, but the following lyrics comes from: www.stlyrics.com
Anyway, here it is:
Artist: Lindsay Lohan Lyrics
Song: What Are You Waiting For Lyrics
Sometimes I get that overwhelming feeling.
So sad, the faces on tv.
If I tried to make a difference, would it help anyway?
But then I stop and to myself I say..
So you wanna change the world?
What are you waiting for?
Say you're gonna start right now.
What are you waiting for?
It only takes one voice.
So come on now and shout it out.
Give a little more,
What are you waiting for?
Sometimes, I feel a little helpless.
Seems like I can't do a thing.
But anything is possible, just you wait and see.
Good things happen, if you just believe.
So you wanna change the world?
What are you waiting for?
Say you're gonna start right now.
What are you waiting for?
It only takes one voice.
So come on now and shout it out.
Give a little more,
What are you waiting for?
Someday, somehow. I'm gonna take that step.
Cause time is tickin' away.
Right here, right now.
Before it's too late.
I'm gonna face tomorrow today.
Don't wait.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you wanna change the world?
What are you waiting for?
Say you're gonna start right now.
What are you waiting for?
It only takes one voice.
So come on now and shout it out.
Give a little more,
What are you waiting for?

Does anyone remember the Zero program in Gundam Wing? It's the program where the computer syncs up with Heero Yui and feeds him data on a tactical situation and courses of action. And it also speeds up the person's response time exponentionaly. It's one of the reasons why Wing Zero is so deadly. Of course, it progrms puts so much of a strain on the mind of the user that personality side effects come out.
This is my idea for the Zero Song:
You folks might recognize it from the Transformers:The Movie Soundtrack
Dare by Stan Bush
Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare - 'cause there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory
I see it doing a couple of things:
Roll a d10 or d6 to see how many levels his physical attributes temporarily increase for the duartion of the song. His mental attributes...let's just say his situational awareness and response time go off the charts.
His helmet feeds him continuous stream of info on the tactical sutuation and suggest courses of action.
I can see Doug pulling off some impossible stunts while the song is playing. Of course, the physical and mental after effects might be pretty bad as well.

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Lets work together
To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation
This is the test
No struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help
Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better
Its time to give a damn
Lets work together come on
People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

The Masochism Tango
by Tom Lehrer
This is one I can't see Doug playing without playing "I'll Play for You" first.

Lightning Does the Work
This one is a country song but it does have potential as an electricity manipulation song.

Kheram

Doug's metagift won't be affected by purely muscial pieces. But what about pieces with a few words like...

Conti's Theme From Rocky (Gonna Fly Now)!
And if it does..what's the effect?
BTW..does anyone has a copy of the soundtrack?

Defying Gravity - From the Musical "Wicked"
Glinda :
why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,
instead of flying off the handle!
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever
Elphaba:
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
Both:
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now...
Glinda:
Elphie, listen to me - just say you're sorry...
You can still be with the wizard
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted...
Elphaba:
I know...But I don't want it - NO - I can't want it
anymore...
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...
Glinda:
Can't I make you understand, you're having delusions of grandeur...?
Elphaba:
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'till I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love - I guess I have lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down...
Elphaba: Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do - together.
I'm Limited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been, Glinda,
Dreams the way we planned 'em
Glinda:
If we work in tandem
Both:
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
Elphaba:
They'll never bring us down...
Well? Are you coming?
Glinda:
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this...
Elphaba:
You too - I hope it brings you bliss
Both:
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend...
Elphaba:
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately -
Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me -
Tell them how I
Am defying gravity!
I'm flying high
Defying gravity!
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
The obvious power - an anti-gravity field giving him a flight capability similar to I'm A Pioneer. Whether he can manipulate that field similar to Sue Richard's field is a toss-up.
The not so obvious Power - it shifts Doug's improbability field to a Dispel Magic/Anti Magic field. Be interesting to speculate the effects.
If you want to hear the a sound clip...

Wicked is a musical about the back story of the Witches of Oz. The Wicked Witch is a good girl, just misunderstood? Hmmm....
