Return of the Good, Bad, and Depends-On-Circumstances!

[David Lewis]

Hello! Long time no post, but the upside is I've had a lot
of time to get ideas for power songs, so to start the first of likely several
suggestions, we have

 

 

Good

 

Meet me halfway –
Black Eyed Peas – 4:49

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7HahVwYpwo&ob=av3e

 

 

I can't go any further than this

I want you so badly, it's my biggest wish

 

I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you

Every single day yes, I'm really missin' missin' you

And all those things we use to use to use to do

Hey girl, what's up, it use to be just me and you

I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you

Every single day, yes I'm really missin missin you

And all those things we use to use to use to do

Hey girl what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up

 

Meet me halfway, right at the boarderline

That's where I'm gonna wait, for you

I'll be lookin out, night n'day

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay

I can't go any further than this

I want you so bad it's my only wish

 

Girl, I travel round the world and even sail the seven seas

Across the universe I go to other galexies

Just tell me where to go, just tell me where you wanna to
meet

I navigate myself myself to take me where you be

Cause girl I want, I, I, I want you right now

I travel uptown (town) I travel downtown

I wanna to have you around (round) like every single day

I love you alway... way

 

Can you meet me half way (I'll meet you halfway)

Right at the boarderline

That's where I'm gonna wait, for you

I'll be lookin out, night n'day

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay

I can't go any further than this

I want you so bad it's my only wish

I can't go any further than this

I want you so bad it's my only wish

 

Let's walk the bridge, to the other side

Just you and I (just you and I)

I will fly, I'll fly the skies, for you and I (for you and
I)

I will try, until I die, for you and I, for you and I, for
for you and I,

For for you and I, for for you and I, for you and I

 

Can you meet me half way (yup yup)

Can you meet me half way (yup yup)

Can you meet me half way (yup yup)

Can you meet me half way (yup yup)

Meet me half way, right at the boarderline

That's where I'm gonna wait, for you

I'll be lookin out, night n'day

Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay

I can't go any further than this

I want you so bad it's my only wish

I can't go any further than this

I want you so bad it's my only wish

 

Power – Okay, I
realise I'm either stretching the lyrics or being really optimistic here, but I see this as either a dual
teleportation song, (Doug and a person he mentally chooses) would be teleported
to the exact middle point between them, i.e meeting halfway. Or since ‘meet me
halfway' can mean a mental agreement or compromise, that it would create a
mental link or projection of Doug and one other person he has met and who
mentally agrees to the meeting once the song begins – they are mentally projected
to the halfway point between where the two currently are, be It a few feet or
thousands of miles, once there they can talk and discuss freely for the
duration of the song, and both fully remember the experience and conversation.
*Shrugs* I know it's unlikely, but that's where my mind led me.

 

 

 

Bad

 

 

Animal – Neon Trees –
3:31

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM7Hlg75Mlo&ob=av2e


 

Here we go again

I kinda wanna be more than friends

So take it easy on me

I'm afraid

You're never satisfied

Here we go again

We're sick like animals

We play pretend

You're just

A cannibal

And I'm afraid

I won't get out alive

I won't sleep tonight

 

Oh oh

I want some

More

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

Take a bite of

My heart tonight

Oh oh

I want some

More

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Say goodbye to my heart

Tonight

 

Here we are again

I feel the chemicals kickin' in

It's getting heavy

And I wanna run

And hide

I wanna run and hide

I do it every time

You're killin' me now

And I won't be

Denied by you

The animal inside of you

 

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Say goodbye to my heart tonight

 

Hush, hush The world is quiet

Hush, hush We both can't fight it

It's us that made this mess

Why can't you understand?

Whoa, I won't sleep tonight

 

Here we go again [3x]

 

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting

 

Here we go again [3x]

Say goodbye to my heart tonight

 

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

Take a bite of my heart tonight

Oh oh

I want some more

Oh oh

What are you waiting for

What are you waiting for

Say goodbye to my heart tonight

 

 

Power – This one
is much simpler to guess. A pretty blatant ‘transform person into savage
monster obsessed with devouring my flesh' song.

 

 

 

 

Depends- on-Circumstances

 

 

Airplanes – B.O.B
Feat. Haley Williams – 3:12

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU&ob=av3e

 

 

[Chorus: Hayley Williams]

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

 

[Verse 1: B.o.B]

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish

To go back to a place much simpler than this

'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'

And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium and all the madness

There comes a time where you fade to the blackness

And when you starin' at that phone in your lap

And you hopin' but them people never call you back

But that's just how the story unfolds

You get another hand soon after you fold

And when your plans unravel in the sand

What would you wish for if you had one chance?

So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late

I'm on my way so don't close that gate

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight

And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

 

[Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)]

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)

I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)

I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

 

[Verse 2: B.o.B]

Ya, ya, somebody take me back to the days

Befo' this was a job, befo' I got paid

Befo' it ever mattered what I had in my bank

Ya, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at Subway

And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it

But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant

I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta'
airplanes

Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days

Befo' the politics that we call the rap game

And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape

And back befo' I tried to cover up my slang

But this is fo' Decatur, what's up Bobby Ray?

So can I get a wish

To end the politics

And get back to the music

That started this shit?

So here I stand and then again I say

I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes

 

[Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)]

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)

I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)

I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

Wish right now (Wish right now)

 

[Outro: B.o.B {Hayley Williams}]

I could really use a wish right now {oh, oh-oh}

(I could really use a wish right now)

I-I-I could really use a wish right now

(I could really use a wish right now)

Like, like, like shootin' stars {oh, oh... oh}

(Like shootin' stars)

I-I-I-I could really use a wish right now

(I could really use a wish right now)

A wish, a wish right now

(A wish right now)

 

 

Power - If there
is airplane above him (or his AOE) at night, Doug is granted genie-like powers
for the duration – one wish per plane - but the power drain would vary
considerably depending on the wishes granted. Plus I get the feeling he'd have little
control over it, like ANY wish in the AOE would be granted – no matter who made
it.

 

 

Any thoughts?

[classicdrogn]

I think that wishes would still be bound by his normal rules - ie no effect further away than his AoE, conjured items/beings vanish at the end of the song, people or animals who appear because of it are not the actual thing, just acting how the wisher and/or Doug's subconscious expect them to act in that situation. Objects physically transformed from existing matter would be an exception, if only as accurate as Doug and/or the wisher could make them using their own knowledge and any reference material inside AoE, and at GM's discretion this could apply to living beings transformed by the effect also, with intelligent beings making the relevant checks to resist/overcome mental attacks to revert to their normal mental state if "reprogrammed" ala simulacrum-brain once when it happens and again at the end of the song if the transformation is permanent.

Turn Me On – David Guetta
Feat. Nikki Minaj – 3:31

[Bridge:]

You've got my life in the palm of your hands

Come and save me now

I know you can, I know you can

 

Don't let me die young, I just want you to father my young

I just want you to be my docta, we can get it crackin'
chiropractor, I, I, I, I

 

I know you can save me

And make me feel alive

Touch me, save my life

Come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die

Come on and turn me on

Turn me on

Turn me on

Turn me on

Turn me on

 

 

 

Power – A healing
song, when Doug touches somebody who is injured (up to or greater then mortal
wounds) they are near-instantly revived and healed, with the added bonus of
being supercharged with energy, be it just physical or related to any powers
they might have. Possible side-effect of the recipient being infatuated with
Doug for the duration.

 

 

As for this next one…. I’ve been debating whether or not to
suggest it….. *shuffles uneasily*….. Ah screw it, might as well dive in head
first.

Jizz In My Pants –
The Lonely Island – 2:32

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnWf1sQkjY

 

 

 

Lock eyes from across the room

Down my drink while the rhythms boom

Take your hand and skip the names

No need here for the silly games

Make your way through the smoke and crowd

The club is the sky and I’m on your cloud

Move in close as the lasers fly

Our bodies touch and the angels cry

Leave this place go back to yours

Our lips first touch outside your doors

The whole night what we've got in store

Whisper in my ear that you want some more

And I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

 

This really never happens you can take my word

I won’t apologize, that’s just absurd

Mainly your fault from the way that you dance

And now I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

 

Don’t tell your friends or I’ll say you’re a slut

Plus it’s your fault, you were rubbing my butt

I’m very sensitive, some would say that’s a plus

 

Now I'll go home and change

 

I need a few things from the grocery

Do things alone now mostly

Left me heartbroken not lookin for love

Surprised in my eyes when I looked above

The checkout counter and I saw a face

My heart stood still so did time and space

Never felt that I could feel real again

But the look in her eyes said I need a friend

She turned to me that’s when she said it

Looked me dead in the face, asked Cash or Credit?

And I

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

It’s perfectly normal, nothing wrong with me

But were going to need a clean-up on aisle 3

And now I’m posed in an awkward stance because I

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

To be fair you were flirting a lot

Plus the way you bag cans got me bothered and hot

Please stop acting like you’re not impressed

One more thing, I’m gonna pay by check

 

Last week - I saw a film

As I recall it was a horror film

Walked outside into the rain

Checked my phone and saw you rang and I

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

Speeding down the street when the red lights flash

Need to get away need to make a dash

A song comes on that reminds me of you and I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

 

The next day my alarm goes off and I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

 

Open my window and a breeze rolls in and I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

 

When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of sixth sense I

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

I just ate a grape and I

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

I went-

JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

Ok seriously you guys can we, ok?

 

I JIZZ RIGHT IN MY PANTS EVERY TIME YOURE NEXT TO ME

AND WHEN WE’RE HOLDING HANDS IT’S LIKE HAVING SEX WITH ME

YOU SAY IM PREMATURE I JUST CALL IT ECSTASY

I WEAR A RUBBER AT ALL TIMES IT’S A NECESSITY

 

Cuz I

JIZZ IN MY PANTS

(I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants, yes I jizz in my
pants, yes I jizz in my pants)

Yes I JIZZ IN MY PANTS

(I jizz in my pants, I jizz in my pants)

Going the Distance –
Cake – 3:03

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__PU5CVSegg

 

 

 

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,

Engines pumping and thumping in time.

The green light flashes, the flags go up.

Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.

They deftly maneuverer and muscle for rank,

Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.

Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.

Their prowess is potent and secretly stern.

As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.

The fans get up and they get out of town.

The arena is empty except for one man,

Still driving and striving as fast as he can.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,

And long ago somebody left with the cup.

But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.

And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

 

He's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

She's all alone

In her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,

He's going the distance.

 

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,

He's haunted by something he cannot define.

Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,

Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.

In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.

She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.

Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,

And long ago somebody left with the cup.

But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.

And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

 

Cause he's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

She's all alone

In her time of need.

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

He's going the distance.

He's going for speed.

He's going the distance

 

 

 

 

Power – Definitely
super-speed or some variant thereof, but I get the feeling from the lyrics that
he’d be physically unable to STOP running until the song completed, making it a
bit of a liability. Plus there’s also an ‘ignore anything and everything else’
vibe that could have mental effects as well.

 

 

The next lot should be tomorrow or the day after. So…
Thoughts? *braces self*

[Proginoskes]

... people or animals who appear because of it are not the actual thing ...

Er... See the Sailor Moon teaser Bob posted about the song Starlight Express...

That (and any other deity) is a special case: recall what happened when Doug used With a Little Help From My Friends to create simulacra of Shadowwalker, Kat, Silverbolt, and Wetter Hexe (DWII Chapter 12). A deity's awareness automatically inhabits a simulacrum; in all other cases, a simulacrum's mind is built from Doug's memories of the original person. Unless the simulacrum is of a deity, and the deity opts to stick around, it vanishes at the end of the song.

And we keep going!!

Titanium – David Guetta
Feat. Sia – 4:06

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg&ob=av2n

 

 

[Sia:]

You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet

You shoot me down, but I get up

 

[Chorus:]

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

 

[Sia:]

Cut me down

But it's you who have further to fall

Ghost town, haunted love

Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones

I'm talking loud not saying much

 

[Chorus:]

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose

Fire away, fire away

Ricochet, you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

I am titanium

 

[Sia:]

Stone-hard, machine gun

Firing at the ones who run

Stone-hard, those bulletproof glass

 

[Chorus:]

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I am titanium

 

 

Power – Body transformation
into titanium ala Colossus giving super strength and invulnerability, but with
an immovable aura effect similar to the Blob, i.e absolutely nothing can move
him from the spot if he doesn’t want to.

Ego Bypass Generator –
Sybreed – 4:46

 

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wBSL-u9MyY


 

 

 

You delight yourself in a paranoid state of mind

A bunch of mischief talking shit, it's what you're all about

You celebrate yourself in filth and self-indulgence

As you believe you own the world

 

Fuck you!

 

You blame us all to never trust your lies (trust your lies)

Your lame words won't ever justify wasting our precious time

 

You want it all, could kill for five seconds of fame

No matter who you suck: you're just a hopeless case

You rate yourself as fucking number one

A poisoned ego oversized but undefined

 

No hope you'll improve yourself

No reason to try to understand

 

You blame us all to never trust your lies (trust your lies)

Your lame words won't ever justify wasting our precious time

 

A worthless, miserable one, absurd and non-relevant

You'll burn yourself with all your hate

 

You're tainted, devoid of soul

A vain being to nullify with no remorse

 

No hope you'll improve yourself

No reason to try to understand

 

You blame us all to never trust your lies (trust your lies)

Your lame words won't ever justify wasting our precious time

 

You blame us all to never trust your lies (trust your lies)

Your lame words won't ever justify wasting our precious time

 

 

 

 

Power – All people
in AOE (including Doug himself likely) go absolutely, foaming at the mouth,
howling for blood f*^&&^ INSANE WITH RAGE !!! and attack a target – either one
specified by Doug, or more likely at random.  There could conceivably be an occasion where
this could be useful, but I’m pretty certain Doug would find it absolutely
repugnant on all but the most irredeemably evil, and I’m damn sure he’d be very
hesitant to use it even then for fear of what effect it would leave on the
people he used it on.

Set Fire To The Rain –
Adele – 3:58

 

 

http://www.youtube.com/user/AdeleVEVO#p/u/1/Ri7-vnrJD3k

 

 

 

 

 

I let it fall, my heart,

And as it fell you rose to claim it

It was dark and I was over

Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

 

My hands, they're strong

But my knees were far too weak

To stand in your arms

Without falling to your feet

 

But there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew.

All the things you'd say

They were never true, never true,

And the games you play

You would always win, always win.

 

[Chorus:]

But I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 

When I lay with you

I could stay there

Close my eyes

Feel you here forever

You and me together

Nothing is better

 

'Cause there's a side to you

That I never knew, never knew,

All the things you'd say,

They were never true, never true,

And the games you play

You would always win, always win.

 

[Chorus:]

But I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

 

I set fire to the rain

And I threw us into the flames

Where it felt something die

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

 

Sometimes I wake up by the door,

That heart you caught must be waiting for you

Even now when we're already over

I can't help myself from looking for you.

 

[Chorus:]

I set fire to the rain,

Watched it pour as I touched your face,

Well, it burned while I cried

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

 

I set fire to the rain,

And I threw us into the flames

Where it felt something die

'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time,
oh, ohhhh!

 

Oh noooo

Let it burn

Oh oh ohhhh

Let it burn

Oh oh ohhhh

Let it burn

Oh oh ohhhh

 

 

 

 

 

Power – Pretty self-explanatory.
Useful when mass arson-based destruction is needed, but I would imagine bloody
difficult if not outright impossible to control, giving it somewhat limited usage.

 

 

 

 

Right, I think I’ll leave it there for a week or two at
least. Comments or criticism appreciated!
