Disco power songs? - ordnance11 - 05-23-2008
Bob, have you ever thought of using any disco songs like "Disco Inferno" or "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor?

I really have to update the list stickies...
IIRC, Staying Alive makes everyone in the area of effect unkillable while it plays. (Not invulnerable, just unkillable. Ouch.)
Other than that, I don't know of any disco in Doug's Arsenal. (Mainly because so many disco songs don't really have lyrics, just a single repeated line...)

If you're talking about Disco Duck, yeah.

Not just Disco Duck. I have to agree that most Disco songs really are mostly instrumental with a single line or two of lyrics repeated over and over.
Rather like "Do the Hustle" and such... Even the Village people songs which actually had a story to them tended to repeat lyrics a lot even outside
of the choruses...

As in Weird Al's parody, "This Song's Just Six Words Long."

Bob, I just want to point out that I wasn't the one who mentioned the Duck song first in this particular thread...

On a related note, I think I once suggested Staying Alive (by the Bee Gees).

I know that there is at least one song in his arsenal that acts like Emergency life support for the duration, effectively keeping the subject9s) at 1 hp... I
also seem to recall one that Bob described as sort of a Weeble effect... you know... Weebles wobble but they dont fall down?

Actually, Doug has had "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor in his repertoire since his creation. As the original character sheet put it, it produces
"V&V Adaptation power, with side effect of obnoxious self-sufficiency."

Oh, and as for other songs, "Disco Inferno" certainly has some potential. I don't have any other explicitly disco songs in my lists for him, but
that doesn't mean there aren't some among the thousands in his helmet.
