Female Empowerment....

I Am A Woman
-Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
The most direct result would probably be a similacra of the Warrior's equivalent of Wonder Woman. Though the effects might vary in different steps.

As this is sung in First Person Imperative (Excessive use of "I AM..."),
it would most likely turn LT into the Equivalent of Wonder Woman for the duration of the song.
Brings a whole new twist on the phrase "Magical Girl," no?.

Yeek.
Not in the plan, not at all in the plan.
ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" for "Tuxedo Loon" -- that has been seriously considered. This?
Mm.
Just might work. Especially if his subconscious templates the effect on the girls...

It could also be used in conjunction with "I Play for You" to power up an ally__________________

Didn't he already meet Sailor Loon? I mean if he gets the genre in mind wouldn't he end up channeling his mental image of Lisa in that persona? Meaning a simulacrum that takes over his body temporarily?
Which brings up the question of will he ever let Skuld have a crack at figuring out whatever Lisa's fuku was actaully made of? Granted he'd also only be likely (in my scenaro) to use to this song if he was wearing something not involving his polykev. Unless he has seen a detransformation sequence... then it may resolve properly.
Though it all so says 'In numbers too big to ignore' means area effect. So it could make hit Sailor Loon and make temporary Sailors out of the nearby populous.

depending on how twisted the author is feeling when it's used, that line could just result in major Gainax bounce, so to speak. 8)__________________

Before or after you said that Doug wouldn't be calling himself Tuxedo anything?
(Yes, I know you have the perogative to change your mind. You're a writer, after all.)

What he looks like and what he calls himself, well, that's two different things.

All magical girl transformations call for the girls getting naked no?
So if Doug uses this song..will the same effect happen to him?

Not a real transform, just an illusion, so ... no. Definitely not.
Not even an illusion of it.
Doug still has a grain of dignity left somewhere and he's going to hold tight to it with both hands...

From the Book of Thibor - verses Metric 5:0
Thibor's first thought was to turn away, but he just couldn't. The five
were surrounded by a swirling cloud of glowing lights which quickly ate away
their gym clothes. Several long seconds passed until the lights brightened
and impossibly tight power armour appeared, covering the girls. Whoever
created the armour had been careful to match the colour to each of the
girl's hair. It was hard to decide whether it was a choice based on
aesthetic reasons, or because no one could find colours ugly enough to
clash. Restraint did not seem like a prime species motivation with this
particular crew.
"Team Metric are go! Evil forces will feel a Measure of our Strength." The
five voices were greatly magnified by the armour, and provided gratuitous
capitalization. This time there were enthusiastic cheers and applause to
greet their announcement, but the reason behind it was highly suspect.
"Ten laps of track. Run." Thibor gestured and the quintet jogged off
happily. He turned to Simon. "Am betting that science behind power armour
transformation was created by men." He noted.
"Or lesbians." Simon added.
"Or pigs." Naoko glared at the pair with open distaste.
