Stock up on lead now... - Feinan - 02-14-2006
Yet another weird idea spawned from my new player.
The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades
Recorded by "Timbuk 3"
Album: "Greetings From Timbuk 3" - 1989
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I've got a job waiting for my graduation
Fifty thou a year -- buys a lot of beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping-tom techie with x-ray eyes
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades
The effect that got into my head for this song was the creation of a pair of sunglasses for Doug during the duration of the song. Wearing them enables two powers: first, everything can be seen clearly - even at night, just as if it were as bright as day. Second power - they're x-ray specs. Full X-ray vision, able to see through anything...except lead, of course. You might play with the possibilities - can he offer them to someone else for the song's duration, for instance? Enjoy.

Hmmm...
Actually, I'd be more inclined to guess it as granting limited precognition - literally seeing the future... with whatever he's viewing being so bright it hurts to look at directly...
Ja, -n

Actually, I was planning on just using this as atmosphere music in DW5...

Pinpon. It's actually in my notes as a bit of physical comedy -- in fact, I set up for it in Chapter 2.
