An amusing disguise of rather limited use - The Wanderer - 02-19-2004
"I'm Your Puppet", which according to Google is apparently by Elton John.
--------------
Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet
I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet
Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet
Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet
Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet
Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet
Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now
I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you
I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

Note: This effect is pretty much based on the events of last night's episode of "Angel", which is where I got the idea in the first place; now that I look at the song, some of the lyrics don't seem like a good match and some of their possible alternate effects don't seem at all desirable, but it's stuck in my mind so here it is.
For the duration of the song, turns Doug - clothes and all, presumably including helmet - into a living, Muppet-style puppet, with appropriate reduction in size. Except for perhaps less physical toughness (puppets tear pretty easily), he's still just as strong, fast, et cetera, as ever.
This probably wouldn't be too useful in practice, but it might be good for the freak-out factor on occasion (how weird is it for your ordinary crook or street thug to be getting his ass kicked by an animate Muppet?), and I've got this image of Doug hiding in a pile of stuffed toys a-la "E.T."...

That's just weird enough to work.
But Elton John? Unless I'm remembering a completely different song, that dates back to the sixties or maybe even earlier. Can't be him, unless he did a cover version.

I have to concur with Bob on this one... I recall hearing it performed by one of the 50-60's Do wop groups first."I was an Otaku before those kids came along and changed the meaning of the word."

Well, I didn't think it was Elton either, but Google turned up only him and Marvin Gaye, and far more references to Elton than Marvin - so I went with it.
Re: An amusing disguise of rather limited use - Bob Schroeck - 02-20-2004
Marvin Gaye sounds about right. It does have that sad "Tears of a Clown" Motown sound to it.
