Well, here's one for the "Not allowed under Bob's rules but wish it was" category...
Imagine a universe along the Walk where Doug discovers a Weird Al parody of a particular tune by Queen....
(Weird Al doing Freddy Mercury? The mind boggles. I can't imagine what it would look like, but I know I'd pay money to see it)
Here I am
I'm the master of your pastries.
Fire up your oven
It's my appetite you'll feed.
CHORUS:
Yes, I'm the one
The only one
Bakery critic of kingdom come--
GIMME THE PIES!!
JUST GIMME THE PIES!
"I've got something to say -- it's better to eat out, than to waste away!"
:
Just keep yours cakes
Or I'll crush them in my hands.
Your dainty blintzes
You just leave them in the pans.
...and so on.
The original tune is "Gimme the Prize (Kurgan's Theme)" from the "Highlander" OST (There IS only one!).
As for what Doug's metatalent would do with this song... well, *I'd* say that it's blindingly obvious. Unless Doug has some kind of extreme dislike for Three Stooges movies or something....
Originally, I had wanted to cross-tie this in with all those full-page ads in Marvel comics during the 70s and 80s where the Hero(ine), helpless against the Villain's newest plot, is saved by the timely arrival of a shipment of Hostess pies (and cakes), which distract said villain so much (s/he's busy *eating,* and just can't stop) that the Hero(ine) is able to save the day without much effort. But I decided I was stretching things a bit as it was.
And, sadly, there's probably no chance of Doug doing a Neo and asking
for "Pies. Lots of pies," while infinite racks of baked goods appear out of the vanishing point. Too bad.
