WRT Discord as a Doug song, knowing Discord, knowing Doug, and hearing the song, I'd see it doing something like the following.
- Locks his conscious mind out. For the duration of the song, he's a passenger in his own body. Also, said body is suspended, spread-eagled, and unable to move, hanging in midair.
- Lets his subconscious and/or id out. It cranks *way* up on that tendency towards "wacky" he has, but it's still him in there. The magic won't attack anyone he cares about, for example - unless they do something to piss him off.
- Somewhere along the way, it makes him something close enough to a trickster deity that he's able to hijack some of the power that's meant for them. This has predictable effects on the attitudes of the mind in control of the whole situation. It also tends to leave them rather annoyed at him when it's all over. If trickster deities aren't on the menu, it'll do the best it can with what it can find. The influence of Tyranny is available as a backup if there is simply no trickster in the world at all (and wouldn't that be a vicious thing to find out the first time it went down). If he happens to be in a world with a trickster deity of tyranny, that being finds it really *very* easy to influence the goings-on for the duration.
- Takes that power and gives the mind in power effective omnipotence within the Standard Doug Radius for the duration of the song. Worth noting that this omnipotence includes the ability to fly Doug (and thus the radius) around very quickly.
- At the end of the song, Doug comes out of it feeling.. energized. Refreshed. Perhaps even invigorated - which is good, as the perverse and chaotic mind that is in control during the song likes to take those last few moments setting things up so that it'll be *funny* when he gets back in control of his own body.
So... it's basically a "crossed the Godzilla threshold" song. At best, the mind in control is in general agreement with the things Doug cares about the most, and tends not to kill unless it has some reason. Still, the collateral damage to the vicinity and to secondary concerns is likely to be immense - and that's without the "and Tyranny too" kickers.
Why yes, I *do* enjoy coming up with songs that might be useful sometimes, but that canon Doug would never ever use. Why do you ask?
