A "Killer" of a song
A "Killer" of a song

A quick search didn't find this one suggested before, so here goes:
"(Dont' Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult
from: www.blueoystercult.com
(Don't Fear) The Reaper
by Donald Roeser
1976 B. O'Cult Songs, Inc.
All our times have come
Here - but now there - gone
Seasons dont fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby
Dont fear the reaper
Baby, take my hand
Dont fear the reaper
Well be able to fly
Dont fear the reaper
Baby, Im your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now theyre gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday
Like Romeo and Juliet
Forty thousand men and women everyday
Redefine happiness
Another forty thousand comin everyday
We can be like they are
Come on, baby
Dont fear the reaper
Baby, take my hand
Dont fear the reaper
Well be able to fly
Dont fear the reaper
Baby Im your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Love of two is one
Here but now theyre gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear that she couldnt go on
And the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying dont be afraid
Come on, baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on, baby
Dont fear the reaper

I envision this as turning Doug in to a modified version of the Shishi Gami from "Mononoke Himi." If you've seen the movie, where the Shishi Gami walks the ground bursts into life, the life flurishes and then dies, all during each step. By the time the Shishi Gami raises his hoof the gound is dead. In this case, everything Doug touches dies; the plants in the ground, the bacteria in the air, everything. A downfall is that *everything* he touches dies, even his friends and allies. It would be one of those songs that would be used as a last resort.
Alternatively, it could make Doug and his team members immune to death. If they get killed, they just revive and keep going, or they just can't be killed. You could make it so they take damage but, if the damage gets bad enough to kill them, they regenerate to fight some more. Closer to the "growth/death" cycle from the movie.
