I once considered the implications of Doug traveling through dimensions and hearing multiple virtually identical versions of the same song. I just assume that, since his power is magically based, the moment the song starts, his metatalent knows whether or not it is a valid power song. You can fool Doug, but not Doug's power.
Although, this does make me wonder, if someone hits Doug with the illusion of deafness, does his power still work since he is actually capable of hearing music and just doesn't realize that he's hearing it, or is the lack of perception enough to shut his power down?
