Beam me up, Mr. Scott!

*/ Bif Naked, "Spaceman", 4:20 /*
i see your face on television, almost every day
in magazines and on the big screen
close yet far away
i wonder why you choose those others
and you never come to call on me
when i'm the one who's waiting for you
i really need you - please pick me!
spaceman, oh spaceman!
come rescue me from this!
calling all aliens!
come rescue me!
remember that night at my window
when i waved at you?
i must have been only five, or so,
but i never forgot you.
i wonder why you choose those others
and you never come to call on me.
when i'm the one who's waiting for you

spaceman, oh spaceman!
come rescue me from this!
calling all aliens!
come rescue me!
Seems to me that this would be perfect for interrupting a fight that isn't going well, by- as the song clearly suggests- having somebody pull him out of it from space.
The fun part is that "spaceman" would be defined by Doug's subconscious- he'd probably get rescued by sci-fi characters (or simulacra of sci-fi characters). I can easily see the song teleporting him out of danger in a classic Star Trek effect, or putting an open, 1960s London police call box in his path (which would disappear with him). As I see it, teleportation out of danger, with illusions thrown in.

Bob, I call "dibs" on this one. I can see the BSBW scene writing itself in the back of my mind even as I type this response...
(Edit: Besides, it's a Bif Naked song. I like her stuff...)
