Resurrection of the Good, Bad, And Depends On Circumstances - David Lewis - 11-23-2020
Word. Since I stumbled back I thought I might as well dip my toes into my old format for suggesting songs/powers. Comments/Critiques/Alternate Theories welcome.
Good -
Thunder And Lightning - By Ninja Sex Party
3:15
Lyrics -
When I was just a young man
I was wandering in the rain
Got struck by lightning in the junk
Fell to the ground in pain
But when I woke the next morning
I witnessed something odd
My nuts were supercharged
With glowing power from the gods
They were
Thunder & Lightning!
Globes of massive strength and size
Thunder & Lightning
Power spheres from beyond the skies
Orbs of might, made of radiant light
Thunder & Lightning
I now had a new calling
I was destined to fight crime
No man could escape the justice
My meaty clackers could provide
So I bought them a little unitard
And found them a tiny cape
Then ran to the the city’s toughest gang
And screamed “There’s no escape!”
From the wrath of
Thunder & Lightning!
Jewels that fell from an angel’s crown
Thunder & Lightning
Rounded junk that’ll take you down
Stones of war, tiny hammers of Thor
Thunder & Lightning
One with the power to electrify
One with the strength to smash
First you hear that rumble baby,
And then you see the flash!
My loins are filled like darkened clouds
Evil has no chance
All shall tremble before the storm
That gathers in my pants
Turns out being struck by lighting
Doesn’t give you any powers
They caved my head in with a pipe
And beat me for several hours
But as I lay there half-conscious
With my nuts exposed to air
I looked up to the blackened sky
And said an ancient prayer
(Lord, if you’re there, please infuse my nuts with the power of a thousand suns.)
(*Rumble*)
(Holy shit, you’re real???)
Let there be
Thunder & Lightning
Acorns shot from the tree of life
Thunder & Lightning
High voltage nugs lighting up the night
Mighty balls gifted from Odin’s halls
Thunder & Lighting
Suck ‘em!
Power - Lightning and Thunder manipulation/control/blasts, possible enhanced physique specifically relating to the nuts. The final line brings Gods into it though, so I think Doug might avoid for that reason. And you know, being a set of superpowers centered on his family jewels...

Addict (feat. Michael Kovach & Chi-Chi) - Silva Hound
(WARNING - NSFW - ADULT SUBJECT MATTER)
5:24
Lyrics -
Till death do us part
But we're already past that phase
This is a brand new start
And I think I deserve some praise
For the way that I am
Despite having overdosed
And ending up comatose
I don't give a damn
I've let my emotions go
Fuck being a sober hoe
This is the mantra
This is my life
You're playing with now
Till the end of the night
Surrounded by fire
The passion ignites
A hit of that heaven and hell, a helluva high
I'm addicted to the madness
This hotel is my Atlantis
We're forever gonna have a fucking reason to sin
Let me leave my soul to burn and I'll be breathing it in
I'm addicted to the feeling
Getting higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Yeah you fell in love
But you fell deeper in this pit
While death rains from above
So count your blessings cause this is it
You're not letting it go
So what if I misbehave
It's what everybody craves
You already know
So come if you're feeling brave
And fancy yourself a mate
You want it, I got it
See what you like?
We could have it all
By the end of the night
Your money and power
My sinful delight
A hit of that heaven and hell
A helluva high
I'm addicted to the madness
This hotel is my Atlantis
We're forever gonna have a fucking reason to sin
Let me leave my soul to burn and I'll be breathing it in
I'm addicted to the feeling
Getting higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
I'm addicted to the feeling
Getting higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Angel's reprise -
I'm addicted to the sorrow
When the buzz ends by tomorrow
There's another rush of poison flowing into my veins
Giving me a dose of pleasure that resides by the pain
I'm addicted, I'm dependent
Looking awesome, feeling helpless
And I know I'm raising Cain by every highway in hell
Maybe things won't be so terrible inside this hotel
Power - The agility to instantly induce a (temporary but severe) addiction in people, with all the various nasty physiological and psychological effects and dangers that implies. Might also have a risk of causing addiction style effects in Doug, depending on how mean his subconscious is feeling that day. Plus I can think of very few hypothetical occasions where Doug would be willing to torture people in that way.
Depends-On-Circumstances -
Good Riddance (Weight Of The World) - Eurydice Solo feat. Ashley Barret
2:59
Lyrics -
Farewell
To all the earthly remains
No burdens
No further debts to be paid
Atlas
Can rest his weary bones
The weight of the world
All falls away
In time
Goodbye
To all the plans that we made
No contracts
I’m free to do as I may
No hunger
No sleep except to dream
Mild and warm
Safe from all harm
Calm
Good riddance
To all the thieves
To all the fools that stifled me
They’ve come and gone
And passed me by
Good riddance
To all
Farewell
To all the earthly remains
No burdens
No further debts to be paid
Atlas
Can rest his weary bones
The weight of the world
All falls away
In time
Power - I see this as a 'Induce complete calmness and relaxation' type song, that would allow people to remain calm and composed in absolutely any situation, even the most terrifying or tortuous ones. The reason it's a depends-on-circumstances one however, is I get the feeling that it might also do it to a fault - i.e make people not care about the building about to fall on them or the person about to kill them. Also depending on how Doug's gift analyses the song it could also have much bleaker effects - if you know the backstory the song is actually depressing as hell.

Sounds more like the song grants you the temporary delusion that you've got thunder/lightning powers.
RE: Resurrection of the Good, Bad, And Depends On Circumstances - David Lewis - 11-23-2020
Yeah, but then Odin shows up at the end and actually grants his nuts the power of a thousand suns - so happy ending at least?
But I get that Doug's gift might latch on to that point above the others.
Hell, a song that makes him THINK he has divinely infused nuts would be funny, at least.
