Here's another favorite of mine. Can't remember if I'd posted it or not, but I tried searching and didn't see it, so...
Devil Went To Jamaica
Artist(Band)
avid Allan Coe
The Devil went to Jamaica.
He was looking to sell some weed.
He was doin' fine,
They were standin' in line,
It was excellent weed indeed.
When he came across a young man
Who was likewise peddling pot,
And the Devil slid down the beach to the kid
And said, "Boy let me tell you what.
I guess you kind of figured
I'm a reefer head of course,
And after all this time
I guess that I'm a conniseur of sorts.
Now your stuff smells okay
But this could tranquilize a horse.
I'll bet a million in cash against your stash
Cause I think mine's better than yours."
The boy said, "My name's Johnny,
And you ain't smoked nothing yet.
One hit of this grass will kick your ass.
You got yourself a bet."
Johnny, roll a ball of hash
And make sure it's the bomb.
Cause the Devil's got the kind of stuff they smoked in Vietnam.
You'll get a million smack-a-roo's in cash if you can cope,
But if you can't the Devil gets your dope.
The Devil packed a bong
With a little Acapulco Gold,
And resin flew from his finger tips
As he fired up his bowl.
He filled that chamber all the way
And he took a mighty hit,
And as they passed it back and forth
It gave them both a coughing fit.
(coughing)
When the bowl was finished, Johnny said,
"Hey man, that stuff was great,
But fill your lungs with some of this
And prepare to vegetate."
Cannibis sativa, Sweet Maryjane,
The Devil's in the backyard frying his brain.
Zig-Zag filled with the diggity-dank,
Hold on tight, it will hit you like a tank
The Devil nodded off
Because he knew that he was stoned,
And he asked if he could buy an ounce
Of the stuff that Johnny owned.
Johnny said, "Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna catch a buzz.
I done told you once,
You son of a bitch,
Mine's the best there ever was."
And they fired up doobies one by one.
Ain't gonna stop until the bag is done.
Green as a bullfrog,
Sticky as glue.
Granny, do you get high? Yes I do.
The obvious power effect is, of course, an extreme case of being stoned. However, given the subject matter, a fun twist might be to make it affect beings of demonic origins or with demonic ties. This would be a LOT of fun to watch around Mara, for instance. It would also be amusing in the Buffy-verse, given the large number of demons and that vampires are of demonic origin there. Of course, if I'm remembering things correctly, the Slayer line was formed by infusing a girl with some demonic essence (at least according to the fanon I've read - can someone confirm this for me?), so you also have the possibility of friendly fire if Doug tries playing this around a Slayer...
There could also be other drawbacks, of course. If the song doesn't knock the targets totally into a stupor...what do you do with a demon or a vampire with a BAD case of the munchies?
