Several songs from "Cats" might work as well.

		Well, Doug does use "Song of the Jellicles" when he manifests Kat for a chat at the beginning of chapter 7.

		Here is a song from Hammerfalls latest album "Crimson Thunder". While I like it I think Doug should stear well clear of it, unless for some reason he needed a few demons around.On The Edge Of Honour
 Led by temptation into the underworld
 to absence of season and time
 Soldiers of Fortune, Soldiers of the Night
 back to back, ready to fight
 Enchanted gardens, where Evil slipped away
 through darkness, fire and rage
 Uncanny demons will dance upon your grave
 as soon as you become their slave
 Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn
 The Bringer of Light, where are you now
 Forever our hearts will burn
 Immortal Riders, Protectors of the Earth
 lost in the abode of the dead
 Misled through darkness and mislead by desire
 inside the midst of the fire
 Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn
 The Bringer of Light, where are you now
 Forever our hearts will burn
 Fallen Angels, arise from your graves
 Free your spirits and unite
 before the blood of the Unicorn colors the night
 From the ruins of hell we shall rise
 On The Edge Of Honour we see the light
 of the Unicorn soaring the night
 [Lead: both]
 Born to conquer the fight,
 here we stand with the Future in our hands
 Through fire we'll rise to touch the sky
 [Solo: Stefan]
 Oooh...
 [Lead: both]
 Note this line in particular:
 The Bringer of Light, where are you now
 Doesn't Lucifer mean "The Bringer of Light", if so the song repetadly ask where the devil is at the moment. Not a good thing to do.

		...Because Doug doesn't strike me as the type to go in for self-immolation. 
Even if it is  Mutual Assured Destruction.
 Quote:They Might Be Giants
 The Statue Got Me High
 
 The statue got me high
 The statue got me high
 The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye
 The statue made me die
 The statue made me die
 It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky
 The stone it called to me
 (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
 A rock that spoke a word
 (An animated mineral it can be heard)
 And though I once preferred a human being's company
 They pale before the monolith that towers over me
 The statue got me high
 The statue got me high
 The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie
 The statue made me fry
 The statue made me fry
 My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy
 The stone it called to me
 (And now I see the things the stone has shown to me)
 A rock that spoke a word
 (An animated mineral it can be heard)
 And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air
 The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair
 And what they found was just a statue
 Standing where the statue got me high
 And what they found was just a statue
 Standing where the statue got me high
 And now it is your turn
 (Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn)
 The stone it calls to you
 (You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to)
 And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air
 The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair
 And what they found was just a statue
 Standing where the statue got me high
 And what they'll find is just a statue
 Standing where the statue got you high

		Hmm...I think I'll try to come up with my own complete list of Senshi songs at some point, but here are a few just off the top of my head.Mamoru: October Project - Where You Are
 Usagi: Madonna - I'll Remember
 Rei: Dream Theater - Burning My Soul
 Haruka/Michiru: Finger Eleven - Suffocate
 Setsuna: Grey Eye Glances - Close Your Eyes
 Yep, definitely going to try and think of more.  I tried to pick these not necessarily just from the titles, so apologies in advance if some of them seem like somewhat odd choices.

It's from Apollo 18 .
 
On a similar They Might Be Giants note, due to sheer uselessness (though it'd be a different story if Doug could force his metatalent to interperet it as Dr. Wyrm ...):
 Quote:They Might Be Giants
 Dr. Worm
 
 My name is Dr. Worm.
 Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
 I'm interested in things.
 I'm not a real doctor,
 But I am a real worm;
 I am an actual worm.
 I live like a worm.
 I like to play the drums.
 I think I'm getting good,
 But I can handle criticism.
 I'll show you what I know,
 And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
 I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't
 Hear the doorbell
 When I get into it I can't tell if you are
 Watching me twirling the stick.
 When I give the signal, my friend
 Rabbi Vole will pay the solo
 Some day somebody else besides me will
 Call me by my stage name, they will
 Call me Dr Worm.
 Good Morning how are you, I'm Dr Worm
 I'm interested in things.
 I'm not a real doctor,
 But I am a real worm;
 I am an actual worm.
 I live like a worm.
 I like to play the drums.
 I think I'm getting good,
 But I can handle criticism.
 I'll show you what I know,
 And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums.
 I'm not a real doctor,
 But they call me Dr. Worm.

		Another Song
		
		
		12-03-2002, 12:12 AM 
	 
		Rock & Roll Princess, by The Scanty, the second opening to Full Moon wo Sagashite. The lyrics translate, roughly, as: 
"I'll become a rock & roll princess, 
because the rock spirit just makes me dance. 
Rock star, it's exciting, 
to shout out the message of love, 
'Hello', the chime says, and that starts my high-school days. 
I'll raise my hand like always, that's for sure. 
'Good night', the chime says, it's pillow-talk time with my Teddy (bear). 
Heart full of love, I swear this to the starry sky. 
In my polka-dot pants, filled with patches, 
I stamp around and make my way with cool steps. 
I'll become a rock & roll princess, 
because the rock spirit just makes me dance. 
Shine on, oh rock princess, 
Raise your voice for revival!" 
... Likely effects? Well, unless it acted as a summoning song, the two most likely lines for Doug's metagift to latch onto are 'Rock & Roll Princess ni natte' or 'Rock Spirit odoridasu'. In other words, it'd likely either act as a tranformation song, or compel him to dance to it.

		Here's another song from Hammerfalls latest album. If this turns out to be a gatesong, he'd probably be better of staying put no matter what world he's in at the moment rather then using the gate.The Unforgiving Blade
 When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn
 Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone
 Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your
 shattered dreams,
 and all you can do is scream
 Long ago you spoke the words of heresy
 Twenty years of running brings back memories
 All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied
 beyond
 my inner dreams
 "Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies"
 I remember the words, I can never forget your demise
 And now your world's falling down
 For all the games that you played
 And as your soul's falling down
 You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
 Should have seen it coming
 when you rolled the dice
 Deeper and deeper, falling,
 away from your paradise
 [Solo: Stefan]
 Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies,
 awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies
 And now your world's falling down
 For all the games that you played
 And as your soul's falling down
 You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade
 And now your...

		Creed: What if'Forked tongues in bitter mouths
 Can drive a man to bleed from inside out'
 and
 'I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
 'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life'
 Given how LT was acting in the middle of the recent fight I seriously don't think he should use a song that would almost certainly get him that angry.
 Also:
 Bad Religion: Kyoto Now
 'It's a matter of prescience
 No, not the science fiction kind
 It's all about ignorance,
 and greed, and miracles for the blind
 the media parading, disjointed politics
 founded on petrochemical plunder
 and we're its hostages
 If you stand to reason
 you're in the game
 the rules might be elusive
 but our pieces are the same
 and you know if one goes down we all go down as well
 the balance is precarious as anyone can tell
 this world's going to hell '
 Like most Bad Religion lyrics, it would be way too nasty - I can imagine Doug reading the lyrics and vowing to absolutely NEVER listen to it - just to be safe. OTOH, it is minorly relevant to certain anime universes: BGC certainly and perhaps NGE. Maybe Gasaraki although I freely admit I've talked that topic to death.

		If Doug is playing "Pop Goes the World" himself, it's not so bad as long as the spoken word intro is retained. What good is he, if he's a man without a hat? 
How about "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen? Not just because of _that_, but:
 Quote:Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
 edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
 through the middle of my soul
 At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
 and a freight train running through the
 middle of my head
 
 
 
Ouch. 
"Springtime for Hitler" probably isn't so good either.

		I believe this one would qualify as a 'Never Play', not only for it's content but for its prodigious use of banjos and mouth-harps."I'm Destroying the World" by Guttermouth
 Hey Mark its fourth and goal
 Why don't you get your dad a beer
 Then do us all a favor
 Get your punk ass out of here.
 Dear I think our son's retarded
 He likes to read not watch tv
 Mark never plays no football
 With the kids across the street.
 Hey Mom hey Dad yeah sports are great
 if you like touching other men
 but when we touch each other off the field
 well this becomes a sin
 So I understand if you think i'm slow
 but I don't want to be like you!
 Because of you and mommy
 it's what I was born to do. (Yee-hah!)
 I'm destroying the world!
 I don't really give a sh*t
 cuz it feels so g**damn cool!
 I'm destroying the world!
 I don't really give a sh*t, no...
 Sorry, son we understand
 that you just don't fit in.
 So I filled your mom's prescription;
 you'll be one of us again.
 Hey I don't give a sh*t bout what you think
 you made me just who I am!
 I'm taking up the banjo
 to execute my evil plan! (Let's go!)
 I'm destroying the world!
 I don't really give a sh*t
 cuz it feels so g**damn cool!
 I'm destroying the world!
 I don't really give a sh*t, no!
 (Hm...I reckon so...)
 
 All this in a maddening 1:58. First time I heard this song, I was watching NGE and thinking, "What a goof AMV this would make."

		"Detachable Penis" by King Missile 
Try to remember the lyrics 'detachable penis' are constantly said through out the song. 
lyrics- www.wildcity.com/lyrics/detach.htm 
"Big Balls" by AC/DC or Will Oldham 
lyrics- users.bart.nl/~ljmeijer/o.../balls.htm 
"Fuck Me In The Ass From Afar" Trying to find the bands name and the lyrics to this song.  Heard it a few times on the radio before it disappeared.  It has at least 3 chorus breaks from what I remember, all of witch are basically 'fuck me in the ass from afar' repeated a few times.

		> Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pidgeons in the ParkWell, if you're mentioning Tom Lehrer songs that Doug shouldn't play, the first one to my mind is "The Masochism Tango".
 I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
 But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
 You can raise welts
 Like nobody else,
 As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
 Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
 Say it's me that you want to dismember.
 Blacken my eye,
 Set fire to my tie,
 As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
 At your command
 Before you here I stand,
 My heart is in my hand...
 Yeech!
 It's here that I must be.
 My heart entreats,
 Just hear those savage beats,
 And go put on your cleats
 And come and trample me.
 Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
 That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
 My soul is on fire,
 It's aflame with desire,
 Which is why I perspire when we tango.
 You caught my nose
 In your left castanet, love,
 I can feel the pain yet, love,
 Ev'ry time I hear drums.
 And I envy the rose
 That you held in your teeth, love,
 With the thorns underneath, love,
 Sticking into your gums.
 Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
 The last time I needed twenty stitches
 To sew up the gash
 That you made with your lash,
 As we danced to the Masochism Tango.
 Bash in my brain,
 And make me scream with pain,
 Then kick me once again,
 And say we'll never part.
 I know too well
 I'm underneath your spell,
 So, darling, if you smell
 Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup]
 'Scuse me!
 Take your cigarette from its holder,
 And burn your initials in my shoulder.
 Fracture my spine,
 And swear that you're mine,
 As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
