Quote:Several songs from "Cats" might work as well.
I wonder if "Kitty" would summon a simulacrum of Kat... The real Kat has already suggested Al Stewart's "The Year of the Cat" as another simulacrum song for her...

Well, Doug does use "Song of the Jellicles" when he manifests Kat for a chat at the beginning of chapter 7.

Instant demonic horde? - Guest - 11-25-2002
Here is a song from Hammerfalls latest album "Crimson Thunder". While I like it I think Doug should stear well clear of it, unless for some reason he needed a few demons around.
On The Edge Of Honour
Led by temptation into the underworld
to absence of season and time
Soldiers of Fortune, Soldiers of the Night
back to back, ready to fight
Enchanted gardens, where Evil slipped away
through darkness, fire and rage
Uncanny demons will dance upon your grave
as soon as you become their slave
Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn
The Bringer of Light, where are you now
Forever our hearts will burn
Immortal Riders, Protectors of the Earth
lost in the abode of the dead
Misled through darkness and mislead by desire
inside the midst of the fire
Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn
The Bringer of Light, where are you now
Forever our hearts will burn
Fallen Angels, arise from your graves
Free your spirits and unite
before the blood of the Unicorn colors the night
From the ruins of hell we shall rise
On The Edge Of Honour we see the light
of the Unicorn soaring the night
[Lead: both]
Born to conquer the fight,
here we stand with the Future in our hands
Through fire we'll rise to touch the sky
[Solo: Stefan]
Oooh...
[Lead: both]
Note this line in particular:
The Bringer of Light, where are you now
Doesn't Lucifer mean "The Bringer of Light", if so the song repetadly ask where the devil is at the moment. Not a good thing to do.

Re: Songs Doug Should Never *EVER* Play - Oathsblood - 11-26-2002
when ever cristmas songs come up, I always wonder what Doug's metagift would think of "Cristmas at ground zero" or "the night santa went crazy" by Weird Al . Can any one say Doug dressed in red with lots of big guns?

...Because Doug doesn't strike me as the type to go in for self-immolation.

They Might Be Giants
The Statue Got Me High
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
The statue made me die
The statue made me die
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And though I once preferred a human being's company
They pale before the monolith that towers over me
The statue got me high
The statue got me high
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
The statue made me fry
The statue made me fry
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy
The stone it called to me
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
A rock that spoke a word
(An animated mineral it can be heard)
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And now it is your turn
(Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
The stone it calls to you
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
And what they found was just a statue
Standing where the statue got me high
And what they'll find is just a statue
Standing where the statue got you high

Hmm...I think I'll try to come up with my own complete list of Senshi songs at some point, but here are a few just off the top of my head.
Mamoru: October Project - Where You Are
Usagi: Madonna - I'll Remember
Rei: Dream Theater - Burning My Soul
Haruka/Michiru: Finger Eleven - Suffocate
Setsuna: Grey Eye Glances - Close Your Eyes
Yep, definitely going to try and think of more. I tried to pick these not necessarily just from the titles, so apologies in advance if some of them seem like somewhat odd choices.

On a similar They Might Be Giants note, due to sheer uselessness (though it'd be a different story if Doug could force his metatalent to interperet it as Dr. Wyrm...):
Quote:
They Might Be Giants
Dr. Worm
My name is Dr. Worm.
Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't
Hear the doorbell
When I get into it I can't tell if you are
Watching me twirling the stick.
When I give the signal, my friend
Rabbi Vole will pay the solo
Some day somebody else besides me will
Call me by my stage name, they will
Call me Dr Worm.
Good Morning how are you, I'm Dr Worm
I'm interested in things.
I'm not a real doctor,
But I am a real worm;
I am an actual worm.
I live like a worm.
I like to play the drums.
I think I'm getting good,
But I can handle criticism.
I'll show you what I know,
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.

But they call me Dr. Worm.

Another Song - Aleh - 12-03-2002
Rock & Roll Princess, by The Scanty, the second opening to Full Moon wo Sagashite. The lyrics translate, roughly, as:
"I'll become a rock & roll princess,
because the rock spirit just makes me dance.
Rock star, it's exciting,
to shout out the message of love,
'Hello', the chime says, and that starts my high-school days.
I'll raise my hand like always, that's for sure.
'Good night', the chime says, it's pillow-talk time with my Teddy (bear).
Heart full of love, I swear this to the starry sky.
In my polka-dot pants, filled with patches,
I stamp around and make my way with cool steps.
I'll become a rock & roll princess,
because the rock spirit just makes me dance.
Shine on, oh rock princess,
Raise your voice for revival!"
... Likely effects? Well, unless it acted as a summoning song, the two most likely lines for Doug's metagift to latch onto are 'Rock & Roll Princess ni natte' or 'Rock Spirit odoridasu'. In other words, it'd likely either act as a tranformation song, or compel him to dance to it.

Deeper and deeper, falling, away from your paradise. - Guest - 12-03-2002
Here's another song from Hammerfalls latest album. If this turns out to be a gatesong, he'd probably be better of staying put no matter what world he's in at the moment rather then using the gate.
The Unforgiving Blade
When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn
Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone
Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your
shattered dreams,
and all you can do is scream
Long ago you spoke the words of heresy
Twenty years of running brings back memories
All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied
beyond
my inner dreams
"Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies"
I remember the words, I can never forget your demise
And now your world's falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul's falling down
You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
Should have seen it coming
when you rolled the dice
Deeper and deeper, falling,
away from your paradise
[Solo: Stefan]
Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies,
awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies
And now your world's falling down
For all the games that you played
And as your soul's falling down
You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
And now your...
songs to avoid - drakensis - 12-04-2002
Creed: What if
'Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out'
and
'I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life'
Given how LT was acting in the middle of the recent fight I seriously don't think he should use a song that would almost certainly get him that angry.
Also:
Bad Religion: Kyoto Now
'It's a matter of prescience
No, not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance,
and greed, and miracles for the blind
the media parading, disjointed politics
founded on petrochemical plunder
and we're its hostages
If you stand to reason
you're in the game
the rules might be elusive
but our pieces are the same
and you know if one goes down we all go down as well
the balance is precarious as anyone can tell
this world's going to hell '
Like most Bad Religion lyrics, it would be way too nasty - I can imagine Doug reading the lyrics and vowing to absolutely NEVER listen to it - just to be safe. OTOH, it is minorly relevant to certain anime universes: BGC certainly and perhaps NGE. Maybe Gasaraki although I freely admit I've talked that topic to death.

Songs to avoid - cpt kangarooski - 12-09-2002
If Doug is playing "Pop Goes the World" himself, it's not so bad as long as the spoken word intro is retained. What good is he, if he's a man without a hat?
How about "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen? Not just because of _that_, but:
Quote:Ouch.
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
"Springtime for Hitler" probably isn't so good either.
Re: Songs to avoid - Bob Schroeck - 12-09-2002
Well, his metagift wouldn't interpret the lyrics that literally... but it probably wouldn't be too pleasant anyway.
And yes, we have no "Springtime for Hitler" today...

I believe this one would qualify as a 'Never Play', not only for it's content but for its prodigious use of banjos and mouth-harps.
"I'm Destroying the World" by Guttermouth
Hey Mark its fourth and goal
Why don't you get your dad a beer
Then do us all a favor
Get your punk ass out of here.
Dear I think our son's retarded
He likes to read not watch tv
Mark never plays no football
With the kids across the street.
Hey Mom hey Dad yeah sports are great
if you like touching other men
but when we touch each other off the field
well this becomes a sin
So I understand if you think i'm slow
but I don't want to be like you!
Because of you and mommy
it's what I was born to do. (Yee-hah!)
I'm destroying the world!
I don't really give a sh*t
cuz it feels so g**damn cool!
I'm destroying the world!
I don't really give a sh*t, no...
Sorry, son we understand
that you just don't fit in.
So I filled your mom's prescription;
you'll be one of us again.
Hey I don't give a sh*t bout what you think
you made me just who I am!
I'm taking up the banjo
to execute my evil plan! (Let's go!)
I'm destroying the world!
I don't really give a sh*t
cuz it feels so g**damn cool!
I'm destroying the world!
I don't really give a sh*t, no!
(Hm...I reckon so...)
All this in a maddening 1:58. First time I heard this song, I was watching NGE and thinking, "What a goof AMV this would make."

Try to remember the lyrics 'detachable penis' are constantly said through out the song.
lyrics- www.wildcity.com/lyrics/detach.htm
"Big Balls" by AC/DC or Will Oldham
lyrics- users.bart.nl/~ljmeijer/o.../balls.htm
"Fuck Me In The Ass From Afar" Trying to find the bands name and the lyrics to this song. Heard it a few times on the radio before it disappeared. It has at least 3 chorus breaks from what I remember, all of witch are basically 'fuck me in the ass from afar' repeated a few times.

Well, if you're mentioning Tom Lehrer songs that Doug shouldn't play, the first one to my mind is "The Masochism Tango".
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand...
Yeech!
It's here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango.
You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev'ry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the Masochism Tango.
Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.
I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup]
'Scuse me!
Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

If Doug could manage to stay out of the action, sounds like a great song to use on a massed enemy during a solo operation.
