		Genesis "Jesus he knows me" 
You see the face on the TV screen 
coming at you every Sunday 
see that face on the billboard 
that man is me 
On the cover of the magazine 
there's no question why I'm smiling 
you buy a piece of paradise 
you buy a piece of me 
I'll get you everything you wanted 
I'll get you everything you need 
don't need to believe in hereafter 
just believe in me 
Cos Jesus he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
I've been talking to Jesus all my life 
oh yes he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
and he's been telling me 
everything is alright 
I believe in the family 
with my ever loving wife beside me 
but she don't know about my girlfriend 
or the man I met last night 
Do you believe in God 
cos that's what I'm selling 
and if you wanna get to heaven 
I'll see you right 
You won't even have to leave your house 
or get outta your chair 
you don't even have to touch that dial 
cos I'm everywhere 
And Jesus he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
I've been talking to Jesus all my life 
oh yes he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
well he's been telling me 
everything's gonna be alright 
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching 
won't find me making no sacrifice 
but I can get you a pocketful of miracles 
if you promise to be good, try to be nice 
God will take good care of you 
just do as I say, don't do as I do 
I'm counting my blessings, 
I've found true happiness 
cos I'm getting richer, day by day 
you can find me in the phone book, 
just call my toll free number 
you can do it anyway you want 
just do it right away 
There'll be no doubt in your mind 
you'll believe everything I'm saying 
if you wanna get closer to him 
get on your knees and start paying 
Cos Jesus he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
I've been talking to Jesus all my life 
oh yes he knows me 
and he knows I'm right 
well he's been telling me 
everything's gonna be alright, alright 
Jesus he knows me 
Jesus he knows me, you know...

It's not always effective, as strong wills and magical resistances reduce or eliminate the effect.  Of course, those who are naturally gullible might be effected even after the song ends. 8)__________________

		Givne DOug's genberal reaction to anything divine, and the fact that when he plays stuff referencing a particular power, they tend to NOTICE, even if they don't pop right up and say "Wazzup?" I kind of doubt he'd be willing to use it. Well, unless he was doing something he'd be really sure Jesus would approve of, and had no other way to do it.

		you got a point there, 8P 
anyways, here's another one. 
*********** 
MATTHEW WILDER - "Break My Stride" 
Last night I had the strangest dream 
I sailed away to China 
In a little row boat to find ya 
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned 
Didn't want no-one to hold you 
What does that mean 
And you said 
Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no 
I got to keep on movin' 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
I'm running and I won't touch ground 
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin' 
You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts 
The road behind was rocky 
But now you're feeling cocky 
You look at me and you see your past 
Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast 
And she said 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no 
I got to keep on moving 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
I'm running and I won't touch ground 
Oh-no, I got to keep on moving 
Never let another girl like you, work me over 
Never let another girl like you, drag me under 
If I meet another girl like you, I will tell her 
Never want another girl like you, have to say 
Ooooooh 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down 
Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
I'm running and I won't touch the ground 
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin' 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down 
Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
I'm running and I won't touch the ground 
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin' 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down 
Oh-no, I got to keep on moving 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
I'm running and I won't touch the ground 
Oh-no, I got to keep on movin' 
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride 
Nobody's gonna slow me down 
Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving 
*************** 
The Power that occured to me while listening to this on the radio was something like Marvel's Juggernault.  Once Doug starts moving, he can smash through/past andthing that gets in his way.  He's immune to damage from the barriers he breaks through or from attacks intended to stop him (attacks intended to simply hurt him still work).   Attempts to deflect/alter Doug's course may or may not be effective.__________________

creates a deli sandwich, customised to Doug's wishes.  Not a really useful song, but handy when he wants a quick bite to eat. 8)__________________

		Hey, a sandwich can be useful! One time I got a natural 20 on my Sandwich roll, and was able to use the resulting super-sandwich to bribe a ... well, it was some monster smart enoguh to talk ... to leave the party alone when we bumped into it right after a big fight!

I'd rather define it as "summoning", otherwise it ceases to exist when the song ends. 
Oh, and I think the actual title is something like "Theme to Rocky XIII".

Which has its own problems, given the general nature of summoning.  Summoning the closest sandwich that meets the requirements could create enemies, depending on where that sandwich is coming from.Ebony the Black Dragon

Sandwich-space, of course.  A nearby adjacent continuum whose natural laws allow for the spontaneous generation of deli sandwiches -- and only deli sandwiches.

		The Beatles - "Nowhere Man" 
He's a real nowhere Man, 
Sitting in his Nowhere Land, 
Making all his nowhere plans 
for nobody. 
Doesn't have a point of view, 
Knows not where he's going to, 
Isn't he a bit like you and me? 
Nowhere Man, please listen, 
You don't know what you're missing, 
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command. 
(Lead Guitar) 
He's as blind as he can be, 
Just sees what he wants to see, 
Nowhere Man can you see me at all? 
Nowhere Man, don't worry, 
Take your time, don't hurry, 
Leave it all till somebody else 
lends you a hand. 
Doesn't have a point of view, 
Knows not where he's going to, 
Isn't he a bit like you and me? 
Nowhere Man, please listen, 
You don't know what you're missing, 
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command. 
He's a real Nowhere Man, 
Sitting in his Nowhere Land, 
Making all his nowhere plans 
for nobody. 
Making all his nowhere plans 
for nobody. 
Making all his nowhere plans 
for nobody. 
*********** 
Heard this song today and had a power idea pop into my head. 
2 effects depending on if Doug targets it on someone else or on himself.  Both link to the song's length (2:44) 
a) Doug targets himself: Doug transports himself into a foggy void (between dimensions?) for the duration of the song. 
When it's over, he reappears where he was before, but instead of a little under 3 minutes having past, he was gone 2 hours and 44 minutes.  
b) Doug targets someone else.  They get tossed into the void for the length of the song, but _they_ feel like they were in there for 2 hours and 44 minutes. (and will likely be caught off guard when they do reappear)__________________
