If Chris Hadfield's "Daughter of My Sins"... - Bob Schroeck - 10-11-2015
... is the theme to the Walk as a whole, then this is Doug's personal theme:
Hey, can't you just feel the strange excitement
The quiet commotion that we share
There's something like tingling in the darkness
There's something electric in the air
'Cause there's one thing I know turns a man of sixty
Back into a child of six:
Watching Dunninger, Houdini
Or Doug—the magic man
Up to his old tricks
You go spend an evening at the movies
And smile at the shadows on the screen
You turn on a radio or record
And dance to a voice you've never seen
But they don't make you gasp like a silly schoolboy
Or giggle like a bunch of hicks
Not like Dunninger, Houdini
Or Doug—the magic man
Up to his old tricks
Clap clap
Pop up the dusty flowers
Hooray, hoorah
Break out the bowl of goldfish and the scarves
Ooh…ahhh
Saw the beautiful lady in half again….
Hey! Wasn't that illusion fun?
Not if you know how it's done
It may not be the world's most esteemed profession
But it sure beats law or politics
So here's to Dunninger, Houdini
And Doug—our magic man
Up to his old tricks.
