Actually, I was thinking of a kind of combo duty song the other day - Space Lord by Monster Magnet. Combat utility keys off the chorus and some bits of the verses, the ability Doug knows about from the first line, which seems odd to him, but he acknowledges that his mind is an odd place that works in odd ways.
Anyway, lyrics, then details.
I've been stuffed in your pocket for the last hundred days
When I don't get my bath I take it out on the slaves
So grease up your baby for the ball on the hill
Polish them rockets now, and swallow those pills
And say oh------- Space Lord Mothermother
There's a car in the field now in a column of flame
With two doors to choose but only one bears your name
You been drinkin' my blood while I been lickin' your wounds
Well I'll shave off the pitch now and the scope of your tune
You'll sing oh----------Space Lord Mothermother
(chorus)
I left my throne a million miles away
I drink from your tit and sing the blues every day
Give me the strengh to split the world in two now
I ate all the rest and now I've gotta eat you
Milking my nightmares and using my name
You're stabbing my cortex when you know I'm insane
I'm squeezed out in hump-drive and I'm drowning in love
Encompass immortal position above
And say oh----------Space Lord Mothermother
Chorus + Space Lord Mothermother (4X)
I lost my soul when I fell to earth
My planets call me to the void of my birth
The time has come for me to kill this game
Now open wide and say my name
Space Lord Mothermother (Repeat)
Within a million miles of Doug's homeworld or a reasonable facsimile thereof, he designates an individual as a target, then enters a pocket of slow time, recieving vague impressions of what the target sees and hears as it speeds by for up to one humdred days if he goes the full length of the song in the pocket. Mainly useful as an escape or perhaps to follow someone home, but if he or someone small enough for him to carry is badly injured and he's out of healing for the day he could focus on an ally and have them do the traveling to somewherre support is available.
Outside the boundary or on worlds not recogniseably a historical or near-future Earth, he has life support capable of resisting open space and, well, 'the strength to split the word in two', though probably not literally. Then again, if he can coalesce raw energy into mass for simalcra and song props, he can probably release it in a burst... for 5:55, anyway, which is an eternity in combat time. Of course, what situation he could possibly be in to actually need that kind of firepower and would otherwise match the distance requirement is another question. Stargate SG-1, maybe, or DBZ.
Hmm, other siongs nearby in my plylist that might do something... Spacegrass by Clutch would probably give him a convertible Galaxie 500 with a chromed blower sticking out of the hood and at least interplanetary range during the song's 6:34 duration, since it mentions several, even if 'it'll be eternity/'till we make it to M-83' - intergalactic travbel being significantly further than a little hop between neighbors.
The Bad Touch by the Bloodhound Gang - a song that's a marital aid, and hence one he plays only for Shadow Walker. (Love!/The kind you cleam up with a mop and bucket...)
This Music Is Wasted (If We Don't Dance) by the Red Elvises - gets everyone in AoE moving to the rhythm of whatever is on external speakers, which need not be the same song. Great for getting a party feeling going.
Zoot Suit Riot by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies - transforms all clothing in AoE into perfectly fitted suits with wide padded shoulders. This is a transformation, not an illusion, so it remains even after the song ends.
wrapping back to the top...
Arrested for Driving While Blind by ZZTop - sort of the opposite of a 'don't notice me' effect, but not 'look only at me' either - his entire area of effect gives law officers 'something is off here' vibes from however far away they can sense it, even through remote equipment. Great for drawing official attention to smaltime illegal activity if he doesn't want to reveal himself.
Handle With Care by the Travelling Wilburies - enchants a container to protect anything placed inside from shock and vibration. How long the enchantment lasts depends on how much power he pumps into the song beyond the minimum needed.
Immortal by Clutch - three possible effects, switchable as desired - he can produce a small flame like a welding torch at will (who's the man who stole fire for the people?), permanently banish or shape large quantities of stone (who carved a mountain into a cathedral?) or find a designated item (who found the ark inside Texarkana?) However, he can only see out of one eye for the duration, and it's not long enoguh for any putative agelessness effect to show up, though he does have a minor invulnerability - winds, however strong, don't bother the one good eye.
Levitation by Amorphis - Doug can levitate himself or others.
Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf - totally obvious
Make It Real by The Scorpions - transform materials directly into an object, ala Fullmetal Alchemist. Of course, he has to HAVE the right materials, and be able to completely envision every detail of the object he wants... and there's always a chance of catastrophic failiure, no matter how clear his image, due to the repeated lines about crazy gambles and taking chances.
