song ideas - Norgarth - 02-03-2007
Seems I've been accumulating a bunch of these, so here goes:
Wasn't That a Party
Irish Rovers
Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party
Someone took a grapefruit
Wore it like a hat
I saw someone under my kitchen table
Talking to my old tom cat
They were talking about hockey
The cat was talking back
Long about then everything went black
Wasn't that a party
I'm sure it's just my memory
Playing tricks on me
But I think I saw my buddy
Cutting down my neighbour's tree
Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party
Billy, Joe and Tommy
Well they went a little far
They were sittin' in my back yard, blowing on a sireen
From somebody's police car
So you see, Your Honour
It was all in fun
The little bitty track meet down on main street
Was just to see if the cops could run
Well they run us in to see you
In an alcoholic haze
I sure can use those thirty days
To re-cover from the party
Could've been the whiskey
Might've been the gin
Could've been the three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in
My head is like a football
I think I'm going to die
Tell me, me oh, me oh my
Wasn't that a party
Power: makes everyone in area of effect suffer from a massive hangover, only police and other official peacekeepers are uneffected. On Warriors world, this was fine since the Warriors are in a sense law officers (international law, and they are closer to a SWAT team than beat cops, but still...) Even major supervillains aren't gonna be much of a threat when a simple shout leaves them wth a splitting headache.
The problem is that if he doesn't have some sort of 'official authority', it affects Doug as well (which might come as a surprise to him if he doesn't think about it beforehand).

Lyrics for Song: Battle of New Orleans
In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with colonel jackson down the mighty mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we fought the bloody british in the town of new orleans.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin,
There wasnt bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
Oh we looked down the river and we seen the british come.
There must have been a hundred of em beatin on a drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring.
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn?t say a thing.
Old hickory said we could take em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we seen their faces well,
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave em a little...well....we...
....fired our guns and the british kept a comin,
There wasnt bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
We fired our cannons till the barrels melted down,
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round.
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind,
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin,
There wasnt bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin,
There wasnt bout as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.

Aerosmith - 'Dude looks like a lady'
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong but you know it's all right
That's right
Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
So never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a venus
Lord imagine my surprise
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Baby let me follow you down
Let me take a peek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, all night
Baby let me follow you down
Turn the other cheek dear
Baby let me follow you down
Do me, do me, do me, sue me
What a funky lady
She like it like it like it like that
He was a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Creates an illusion that makes Doug look like an attractive woman.

Tears for Fears - 'Shout'
Chorus
Shout
Shout
Let it aloud
These are the things I can do without
Come on
Im talking to you
Come on
(repeat)
In violent times
You shouldnt have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldnt have to jump for joy
You shouldnt have to jump for joy
Chorus
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Chorus(x2)
And when youve taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
Id really love to break your heart
Id really love to break your heart
Chorus

pt 3 - Norgarth - 02-03-2007
and this one struck me as a gatesong, the one that gets him home finally (assuming Bob doesn't already have that one picked out).

Collective Soul - 'The World I know' www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMFcfwVt-qc
"Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, I don't know why
1-So I walk upon high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know"
Are we listening?
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see?
Love that's gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one

I thought for sure that The World I Know would have gotten me home... but no, Legion had to go and tell me about transfictionality. So it dumped me into this world, which I recognized right away from having watched it on TV when I was a teenager.
Or something like that...

Devil Woman
sung by Cliff Richard
I've had nothing but bad luck
Since the day i saw the cat at my door
So i came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And i knew itwas a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then i looked into those big green eyes
And i wondered what i'd come there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighbourhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future,the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you...

(Depending on what Bob and Chris have planned, of course; if they're going the Redemption route for Mara, then we'd have to find a different female demon for this song...)

Urgh. A lot here to go through.
I like the hangover song.
"Battle of New Orleans" -- I'm going to be using the Johnny Horton original in the Sailor Moon Step, during the ... oh, but that would be telling.
"Dude Looks Like A Lady" -- works for me, although it should also be retargettable using "I'll Play For You".
"Shout" -- Well, yeah, that one's a no-brainer.
I don't know much Collective Soul -- I'll have to check that link out, but it does look like a good gate candidate.
"Devil Woman" -- Mm. Further Deponent Sayeth Not.
-- Bob

It has occured to me that if Doug had used "Wasn't that a party" (the 'hangover song', I hadn't realized that I had forgotten the song title) in the BGC step, it would have incapacitated him and all the Sabers except Nene. 8P
As for 'Dude looks like a Lady' I can't see any reason why it couldn't be retargetted (but only to another guy naturally).__________________
