Head Over Heels - DHBirr - 12-08-2012
Specifically, ABBA's "Head Over Heels."
Head Over Heels (1981)
Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus
I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Refrain: Head over heels
Breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels
Setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says, "That's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
Refrain
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation she keeps going
RefrainCoda (She's just one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes
Head over heels.
If Doug ever, in canon as opposed to omake, meets Suzumiya Haruhi, this song will create a three minute, forty-five second simulacrum (with, thanks to the second stanza, Kyon dragged along to deliver weapons-grade snark and maybe direct her unrecognized powers against an enemy). Once the Loon realizes that, he'll probably put the song under the Do-Not-Play lock.
Edit: ABBA's "SOS" will, of course, summon simulacra of the entire Brigade. This is a gamebreaker, because the Nagato Yuki simulacrum would have Yuki's conscious godlike powers (unless Doug never found out about them).
By the way, "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran should probably either produce a simulacrum of a werewolf with whom Doug's on friendly terms, or turn the Loon into a werewolf (immunities and weaknesses both, but it doesn't force him to do evil things) only for the duration of the song. Depending on what version he uses, this duration is 3 minutes 41 seconds, 4 minutes 11 seconds, or 5 minutes 14 seconds.

Is song for summoning Thibor, yes? Very gut.

Actually, I was thinking Remus Lupin post DW8. I don't think the Drunkard's Walk version of Doug is from that 'verse where the IST and Warriors coexist.
Edit: Wait, does Doug know that Remus is a werewolf? If not, then I guess the question is "Is he going to find out in the course of the story?"
- DHBirr - 06-16-2014
Or maybe Steve Matuchek, if Doug ever swung through the Operation Chaos 'verse. Up to the author.

One of Doug's stopovers was in City of Heroes, where he met that version of Thibor.
There's even a story in the CoX folder of them working together
